DroneOptiNet: A Framework for Optimal Drone-based Load Redistribution Mechanism for 5G and Beyond Solar Small Cell Networks

The power requirements posed by the fifth-generation and beyond cellular networks are an important constraint in network deployment and require energy-efficient solutions. In this work, we propose a novel user load transfer approach using airborne base stations (BS) mounted on drones for reliable and secure power redistribution across the micro-grid network comprising green small cell BSs. Depending on the user density and the availability of an aerial BS, the energy requirement of a cell with an energy deficit is accommodated …
