Energy-Efficient Design of MIMO Heterogeneous Networks with Wireless Backhaul

As future networks aim to meet the ever-increasing requirements of high-data rate applications, dense, and heterogeneous networks (HetNets) will be deployed to provide better coverage and throughput. Besides the important implications for energy consumption, the trend toward densification calls for more and more wireless links to forward a massive backhaul traffic into the core network. It is critically important to take into account the...
