Abstract
Reducing the overall environmental impact of mobile radio networks is a central factor in achieving improved mobile services whilst at the same time enabling a growing telecommunications industry in emerging markets. The OPERA-Net-2 (Optimising Power Efficiency in Mobile Radio Networks 2) project concentrates on this challenge, addressing both energy and material efficiencies of 3G, 4G and heterogeneous networks, while also considering the use of renewable energy sources. This paper presents an insight into the project after its first year and discusses research trends in `green communications networks' for the future.
