Fairness in multi-operator energy sharing [PDF]

open access: yes2017 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2017
The present paper studies fair sharing possibilities of stored renewable energy (RE) in densely populated areas among multiple mobile network operators (MNOs). The main objective is to enable MNOs, who already share their infrastructure in terms of a green network operation, to further reduce their power consumption by fairly sharing (i) the solar ...
