that has drawn huge attention recently from both academia and industry. This topic is highly
motivated due to important environmental, financial and quality-of-experience (QoE) consid-
erations.Duetosuchconcerns,varioussolutionshavebeenproposedtoenableefficientenergy
usage in wireless networks, and these approaches are referred to as green wireless communi-
cations and networking. The term ‘green’ emphasizes the environmental dimension of the
proposed solutions. Hence, it is not sufficient to present a cost-effective solution unless it is
eco-friendly.
