10. Optimization of Resources to Minimize Power Dissipation in 5G Wireless Networks

In today’s modern communications, with the evolution of various applications, the demand for 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 worldwide total power consumption which results in millions of tons of \(\text {CO}_2\) emission due to their production, thereby causing 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 number of UEs is large in 5G wireless network and (ii) when a moderate number of UEs are distributed over the field.
