Abstract

The rapid growth in available network bandwidth has directly contributed to an exponential increase in mobile data traffic, creating significant challenges for network energy consumption. Also, with the extraordinary growth of mobile communications, the data traffic has dramatically expanded, which has led to massive grid power consumption and incurred high operating expenditure (OPEX). However, the majority of current network designs struggle to efficiently manage a massive amount of data using little power, which degrades energy efficiency performance. Thereby, it is necessary to have an efficient mechanism to reduce power consumption when processing large amounts of data in network data centers. Utilizing renewable energy sources to power the Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) greatly reduces the need to purchase energy from the utility grid. In this paper, we propose a bandwidth-aware hybrid energypowered C-RAN that focuses on throughput and energy efficiency (EE) by lowering grid usage, aiming to enhance the EE. This paper examines the energy efficiency, spectral efficiency (SE), and average on-grid energy consumption, dealing with the major challenges of the temporal and spatial nature of traffic and renewable energy generation across various network setups. To assess the effectiveness of the suggested network by changing the transmission bandwidth, a comprehensive simulation has been conducted. The numerical findings support the efficacy of the suggested approach.
