A Novel Sleep Cycle Modulated Energy Harvesting policy for Three Tier 5G Ultra Dense HetNet

In this paper, a novel Sleep Cycle Modulated Energy Harvesting (SCMEH) policy is proposed for Small cell eNodeBs (SeNB) in a 5G three tier Ultra Dense Heterogeneous Network (UDHetNet) to ensure proper utilization of energy resources. An analytical model based on Continuous Time Markov Chain is also designed to evaluate the proposed SCMEH policy. The comprehensive performance analysis finds that the implementation of SCMEH enabled SeNBs under UDHetNet can ensure Sustainable Green Communication by enabling better utilization of the available energy resources under varying urban tele-traffic conditions.
