An Overview of 4G System-Level Energy-Efficiency Performance

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter provides the state-of-the-art (SoA) analysis on the current energy efficient approaches for 4G/OFDMA systems. These concepts will act as benchmark for comparison against the energy-efficient approaches to be developed in subsequent chapters. In order to position our work, we review briefly the key components, and decision metrics that can influence the system-level performance from an energy-efficient perspective.
