Description
Summary:The much-awaited year-2021 that promises to deliver a great deal on the 5th generation (5G) wireless systems' expectations is finally here. Several solutions have been proposed to deal with the energy challenges in the evolving wireless systems, especially in 5G and beyond. These solutions have considered among other approaches, design of new network architecture based on the employment of new radio access techniques called cloud radio access networks (C-RAN), the use of heterogeneous networks approaches, the introduction of renewable energy (RE) as an alternative source of power, etc. Nonetheless, this paper's focus is ultimately on the approaches to achieve optimal energy-efficient (EE) in 5G and beyond networks based on an emerging design philosophy that promises higher overall system capacity at a low energy cost. It focuses on four key EE solutions for future wireless systems: EE resource allocation, network planning, RE, and C-RAN. It discusses various related work, research challenges and possible future work for these four areas. Moreover, the advantages and limitation of new proposed 5G and beyond RON architecture are also reviewed. It is expected that the readers of this study will understand different EE solutions to achieve an optimal EE network.
