TL;DR: The most important addenda of the proposed E3F are a sophisticated power model for various base station types, as well as large-scale long-term traffic models, which are applied to quantify the energy efficiency of the downlink of a 3GPP LTE radio access network.

TL;DR: High-level overview of some technology components currently considered for the evolution of LTE including complete fulfillment of the IMT-advanced requirements, including extended spectrum flexibility, multi-antenna solutions, coordinated multipoint transmission/reception, and the use of advanced repeaters/relaying are provided.

TL;DR: This paper evaluates the base station power consumption for different types of cells supporting the 3GPP LTE standard, based on a combination of base station components and sub-components as well as power scaling rules as functions of the main system parameters.

TL;DR: The necessary enhancements over existing performance evaluation frameworks are discussed, such that the energy efficiency of the entire network comprising component, node and network level contributions can be quantified.

TL;DR: The architectural evolution required to ensure that the rollout and deployment of smart city technologies is smooth through acknowledging and integrating the strengths of both the system architectures proposed is discussed.
