Abstract

In today's modern communications, with evolution of various applications, the demand of data rate is increasing exponentially at the cost of huge consumption of available resources. It has been recorded that the communication networks dissipate nearly 1\% of the world-wide total power consumption, results in millions of tons of CO2 emission due to their production and thereby causes various environmental health hazards. The optimal utilization of available resources that can balance the present coexisting problem without any compromise on the high throughput demand, paves the way for the next generation green 5G wireless networks. In this chapter, we study the minimization of total power consumption while satisfying the desired coverage of the user equipments (UEs) to provide the minimum throughput over the network. In this regard, the deployment of base stations (BSs), their number, and transmit power are optimized in two scenarios (i) when the UEs are large in 5G wireless network and (ii) when moderate UEs are distributed over the field.
