5G and Beyond Wireless Systems: Energy Efficiency Perspective.

# 55






Abstract

The main focus of this talk will be the design of optimization algorithms for next-generation wireless communication systems, that can provide multi-gigabit data rates and can improve energy consumption and spectrum utilization by orders of magnitude. Several key technologies have emerged in the recent past to make this vision feasible, including full-duplex cooperative wireless communication methods, intelligent reflecting surfaces, cell-free (cloud radio) networks, and non-orthogonal multiple access technologies, among others. Billions of subscribers around the world depend on their mobile phones for their professional and private lives. This, however, comes at the cost of increasing energy consumption. EE metric, which relies on the Pareto-optimality between throughput and energy consumption, has recently drawn attention as a useful performance measure. Motivated by the need to save energy, we will discuss about some energy
