Ultra-dense deployments in 5G, the next generation of cellular networks, are an alternative to provide ultra-high throughput by bringing the users closer to the base stations. On the other hand, 5G deployments must not incur a large increase in energy consumption in order to keep them cost-effective and most importantly to reduce the carbon footprint of cellular networks. We propose a reinforcement learning cell switching algorithm, to minimize the energy consumption in ultra-dense deployments without compromising the quality of service (QoS) experienced by the users. In this regard, the proposed algorithm can intelligently learn which small cells (SCs) to turn off at any given time based on the traffic load of the SCs and the macro cell. To validate the idea, we used the open call detail record (CDR) data set from the city of Milan, Italy, and tested our algorithm against typical operational benchmark solutions. With the obtained results, we demonstrate exactly when and how the proposed algorithm can provide energy savings, and moreover how this happens without reducing QoS of users. Most importantly, we show that our solution has a very similar performance to the exhaustive search, with the advantage of being scalable and less complex.

One of the major capacity boosters for 5G networks is the deployment of ultra-dense heterogeneous networks (UDHNs). However, this deployment results in tremendousincrease in the energy consumption of the network due to the large number of base statio
ns (BSs) involved. In addition to enhanced capacity, 5G networks must also be energy efficient for it to be economically viable and environmentally friendly. Dynamic cell switching is a very common way of reducing the total energy consumption of the network but most of the proposed methods are computationally demanding which makes them unsuitable for application in ultra-dense network deployment with massive number of BSs. To tackle this problem, we propose a lightweight cell switching scheme also known as Threshold-based Hybrid cEllswItching Scheme (THESIS) for energy optimization in UDHNs. The developed approach combines the benefits of clustering and exhaustive search (ES) algorithm to produce a solution whose optimality is close to that of the ES (which is guaranteed tobe optimal), but is computationally more efficient than ES and as such can be applied for cell switching in real networks even when their dimension is large. The performance evaluation shows that the THESIS produces a significant reduction in the energy consumption of the UDHN and is able to reduce the complexity of finding a near-optimal solution from exponential to polynomial complexity.
In Federated Learning (FL), a global statistical model is developed by encouraging mobile users to perform the model training on their local data and aggregating the output local model parameters in an iterative manner. However, due to limited energy
and computation capability at the mobile devices, the performance of the model training is always at stake to meet the objective of local energy minimization. In this regard, Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC)-enabled FL addresses the tradeoff between the model performance and the energy consumption of the mobile devices by allowing users to offload a portion of their local dataset to an edge server for the model training. Since the edge server has high computation capability, the time consumption of the model training at the edge server is insignificant. However, the time consumption for dataset offloading from mobile users to the edge server has a significant impact on the total time consumption. Thus, resource management in MEC-enabled FL is challenging, where the objective is to reduce the total time consumption while saving the energy consumption of the mobile devices. In this paper, we formulate an energy-aware resource management for MEC-enabled FL in which the model training loss and the total time consumption are jointly minimized, while considering the energy limitation of mobile devices. In addition, we recast the formulated problem as a Generalized Nash Equilibrium Problem (GNEP) to capture the coupling constraints between the radio resource management and dataset offloading. We then analyze the impact of the dataset offloading and computing resource allocation on the model training loss, time, and the energy consumption.
The concept of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) is considered as a promising technology for increasing the efficiency of mobile wireless networks. This is achieved by employing a vast amount of low-cost individually adjustable passive reflect e
lements, that are able to apply changes to the reflected signal. To this end, the IRS makes the environment realtime controllable and can be adjusted to significantly increase the received signal quality at the users by passive beamsteering. However, the changes to the reflected signals have an effect on all users near the IRS, which makes it impossible to optimize the changes to positively influence every transmission, affected by the reflections. This results in some users not only experiencing better signal quality, but also an increase in received interference. To mitigate this negative side effect of the IRS, this paper utilizes the rate splitting (RS) technique, which enables the mitigation of interference within the network in such a way that it also mitigates the increased interference caused by the IRS. To investigate the effects on the overall power savings, that can be achieved by combining both techniques, we minimize the required transmit power, needed to satisfy per-user quality-of-service (QoS) constraints. Numerical results show the improved power savings, that can be gained by utilizing the IRS and the RS technique simultaneously. In fact, the concurrent use of both techniques yields power savings, which are beyond the cumulative power savings of using each technique separately.
One of the ways of achieving improved capacity in mobile cellular networks is via network densification. Even though densification increases the capacity of the network, it also leads to increased energy consumption which can be curbed by dynamically
switching off some base stations (BSs) during periods of low traffic. However, dynamic cell switching has the challenge of spectrum under-utilizationas the spectrum originally occupied by the BSs that are turned off remains dormant. This dormant spectrum can be leased by the primary network (PN) operators, who hold the license, to the secondary network (SN) operators who cannot afford to purchase the spectrum license. Thus enabling the PN to gain additional revenue from spectrum leasing as well as from electricity cost savings due to reduced energy consumption. Therefore, in this work, we propose a cell switching and spectrum leasing framework based on simulated annealing (SA) algorithm to maximize the revenue of the PN while respecting the quality-of-service constraints. The performance evaluation reveals that the proposed method is very close to optimal exhaustive search method with a significant reduction in the computation complexity.
In this letter, we consider a joint macro-relay network with densely deployed relay stations (RSs) and dynamically varied traffic load measured by the number of users. An energy-efficient strategy is proposed by intelligently adjusting the RS working
modes (active or sleeping) according to the traffic variation. Explicit expressions related to the network energy efficiency are derived based on stochastic geometry theory. Simulation results demonstrate that the derived analytic results are reasonable and the proposed strategy can significantly improve the network energy efficiency.
