Energy Efficient Networks- A Critical Review
Abstract
With the alarming increase in energy consumption of the Internet, it is now very important to design, develop and manage Energy-efficient next-generation network architectures. Already existing network infrastructures and technologiesconsumes a whole lot of energy; but as more and more network technologies are introduced, more and more energy is consumed in networks. This paper studies the concept of green networks (Energy Efficient Networks), and outlines its significance in Modern and Future Telecommunication Networks. Furthermore, the techniques for Wireless Network Energy Efficiency are summarized such as OFDMA networks, MIMO techniques, and Relay Transmission.Potential benefits and solutions of Energy efficiency in networks were also discussed.
