Green Cognitive and Cooperative Heterogeneous Networks (Hetnets): Current Status and Technical Perspectives

The future generation of wireless communication technologies is expected to be energy-smart while providing rich multimedia contents with higher Quality of Service (QoS) to the end-users, which necessitates integration of various technologies. Green Cognitive and Cooperative HetNets involve optimal integration of cognitive and cooperative communication techniques in heterogeneous networks (HetNets) to increase the energy efficiency without sacrificing significantly the QoS. To reduce the energy consumption overhead introduced by cognitive and cooperative communications, there is a need to incorporate green concepts in communication technologies. Finally, design challenges in embracing green technologies to achieve Green Cognitive and Cooperative HetNets is addressed. Citation: Bhagyalakshmi M G, K.L.N.
