ASSOCIATION THROUGH GREEN ENERGY AND LATENCY AWARENESS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method to associate a base station with a communication device through a green energy aware and a latency aware (GALA) approach in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more metrics associated with two or more base stations, wherein the one or more metrics include a traffic load, an energy latency coefficient, and a green traffic load associated with each base station;
determining one or more of a traffic arrival rate and a traffic departure rate associated with each base station, wherein the traffic arrival and departure rates are faster than a frequency at which each base station advertises its traffic load;
analyzing a green energy usage status and a latency status of the two or more base stations based on the one or more metrics;
enabling advertising of the green energy usage status and the latency status of the two or more base stations to the communication device;
detecting a selection of one of the two or more base stations by the communication device; and
updating a coverage area of the selected base station based on the selection.

Abstract
Technologies are generally described to provide a distributed scheme that enables a Green-energy Aware and the Latency Aware (GALA) user-base station (BS) associations in wireless networks, whose BSs are powered by both on-grid energy and green energy. According to some examples, the GALA approach may consider traffic delivery latency and green energy generation rate in BSs to determine the user-BS association. The GALA approach may converge to a particular solution, which may reduce the summation of the weighted latency ratios of BSs, while enabling a trade-off between the on-grid power consumption and the average traffic delivery latency
