    The importance of reducing energy costs, reducing CO2 emissions and protecting the environment are leading to an increased focus on green, energy-efficient approaches to the design of next-generation wireless networks. Presenting state-of-the-art research on green radio communications and networking technology by leaders in the field, this book is invaluable for researchers and professionals working in wireless communication. Summarizing existing and ongoing research, the book explores communication architectures and models, physical communications techniques, base station power-management techniques, wireless access techniques for green radio networks, and green radio test-bed, experimental results and standardization activities. Throughout, theoretical results are blended with practical insights and coverage of deployment issues. It serves as a one-stop reference for key concepts and design techniques for energy-efficient communications and networking and provides information essential for the design of future-generation cellular wireless systems.

    • The first reference on advanced data communications and networking techniques for green radio systems
    • Provides a comprehensive treatment of the state-of-the-art of existing and ongoing research
    • Summarizes current theory, key strategies and protocols, deployment aspects, ongoing standardization and experimental activities on green wireless communications technologies
