Abstract

In this chapter, we review the state-of-the-art literature on green networking mainly from two perspectives, i.e., saving energy at base stations (BSs) and enhancing renewable energy sustainability. The existing works are classified based on system scale, such as single link, single BS, multiple BSs, and multiple operators. Specifically, the applications of traffic steering in these two aspects are highlighted.
