Exploiting the overhearing capabilities of transmitting nodes to increase the energy efficiency in dense networks

Abstract The 1000-fold capacity increase envisioned by dense 5G networks results also in a tremendous increase in the energy consumption of the whole network. Utilizing relays in combination with physical-layer network coding (PNC) has been proposed as an energy-efficient solution to this problem by...
