A Dynamic Resource Allocation Algorithm as a Green Technology for 4G Advanced Networks

Faced with an exponential growth in data demand, the mobile wireless industry needs to control the energy consumption, to both minimize costs and become greener. The mobile industry can thus make a significant contribution in helping other sectors to reduce their overall carbon footprint. In this paper we propose a novel, dynamic resource allocation algorithm, which can reduce the interference effects in 4G wireless networks. This interference reduction can be utilized for cell edge performance improvement or for reducing the base station transmit power as a Green technology. We discuss both these options with current simulation results.
