Abstract
Today human life without telecommunication is beyond belief. The technology development has an exponential growth that proportionally increases with the rate of the telecommunication usage over the recent years and will keep growing to connect all individual entities either through a wired (wireless) media. However, the increasing demand, constant development, rapid expansion for continuous production of new and advance devices has significant effect on the global environment in terms of energy consumption, life-loss due to radiation effects, biological changes and disappearance of living species etc. The most prevalent aforementioned issues have motivated the research community towards green communication. This review paper elaborates on the concepts of the green communication providing a clear insight on its research challenges, techniques adopted to have a green future.
