Pith's one-line read The first twenty years of green radio are best understood as fundamental tradeoffs plus two engineering breakthroughs: the Doherty power amplifier and the separated baseband/radio unit architecture.
desk verdict Useful, clearly-written survey with a genuinely useful engineering angle, but its milestone table overstates self-authored 'discoveries' and needs a scope note; deserves revision, not rejection. read the letter →
The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The load-bearing objects are the fundamental tradeoff curves and the base station power model. The SE-EE identity $\eta_{EE}(\eta_{SE})=\frac{\eta_{SE}}{(2^{\eta_{SE}}-1)N_0+P_c}$ turns the intuition that more throughput costs more energy into a curve with a unique optimum when circuit power $P_c>0$; a scheme helps if it moves the network toward that point or enlarges the region around it. The base station power model, with its linear approximation, breaks consumption into transceiver chains, power amplifier efficiency, and losses from feeders, cooling, DC conversion, and main supply, and this is what identifies where the two highlighted engineering fixes act: the Doherty architecture raises $\eta_{PA}$, and BBU-RRU separation reduces $\sigma_{feed}$ and $\sigma_{cool}$. Sleep and wake-up mechanisms such as DRX and cell DTX are the complementary time-domain machinery that turns idle hardware off.
What would settle it
Compare the milestone table against a systematic search of the pre-2010 literature for explicit SE-EE tradeoff analyses and for earlier documented work on efficient power amplifiers and remote radio heads; if an earlier explicit SE-EE curve or an earlier large-scale BBU-RRU deployment exists, the paper's stated history and its overlooked-engineering claim would need correction.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The central claim is that green radio's first two decades have two complementary stories: a theoretical one organized by fundamental tradeoffs and a practical one driven by power-saving hardware and architecture. The theoretical thread begins with the SE-EE tradeoff, expressed as $\eta_{EE}(\eta_{SE})=\frac{\eta_{SE}}{(2^{\eta_{SE}}-1)N_0+P_c}$, which shows that with zero circuit power, energy efficiency falls monotonically as spectrum efficiency rises, while with positive circuit power the curve becomes bell-shaped and has a point of maximum energy efficiency. The same logic is extended to deployment efficiency, delay, bandwidth, and power. The engineering thread, which the authors say earlier surveys overlooked, centers on the Doherty power amplifier, which keeps high efficiency over a wide output range and can be paired with digital predistortion to reach more than 50% efficiency improvement, and the separated baseband unit/remote radio unit architecture, which cuts feeder and cooling losses and later grows into C-RAN.
Load-bearing premise
The survey assumes that its chosen references and milestone table fairly represent what actually happened in the field, so if the selection is unrepresentative, the periodization and the claim that Doherty power amplifiers and BBU-RRU separation were overlooked are assertions rather than established history.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- If the tradeoff framework is right, energy-efficient network operation is not about maximizing throughput or minimizing power alone; it is about locating the bell-shaped curve's maximum EE point, making load-adaptive scheduling the natural control knob.
- The survey implies that algorithmic green radio schemes should be benchmarked against hardware and architectural savings, since Doherty power amplifiers and BBU-RRU separation deliver gains comparable to many optimization schemes.
- If the milestone table is correct, the field's center of gravity moved from battery-limited terminals before 2008 to radio access networks afterward, so a history of green radio that omits engineering deployment misses a major part of the story.
- If future green radio must be end-to-end, terminal-only or RAN-only energy accounting will miss large remaining savings, because virtualization, edge computing, and core network operation now consume a growing share of network energy.
Reading between the lines
- One implicit testable prediction is that the shape of the SE-EE curve, rather than any particular protocol, sets the ceiling on achievable green gains; if so, lowering circuit power will push the whole tradeoff region outward more reliably than smarter scheduling.
- The paper's emphasis on Doherty amplifiers and separated base stations suggests a general rule for future surveys: component-level and architectural energy efficiency may outweigh the algorithmic optimizations that dominate the literature, and a quantitative decomposition of where energy is lost would test that rule.
- A natural extension is to apply the same tradeoff map to new metrics such as latency-energy or computation-energy in edge computing, where circuit power is replaced by server idle power and a bell-shaped curve could reappear.
- The milestone table could be checked against citation data: if explicit SE-EE tradeoff analyses or large-scale BBU-RRU deployments predate the cited 2010 and 2011 works, the paper's periodization and its claim that those engineering fixes were overlooked would require revision.

Referee Report
Summary. This paper is a survey/history of green radio research over the two decades up to the time of submission, organized around fundamental tradeoffs (especially SE-EE), terminal-side and access-network-side power-saving techniques, engineering solutions such as the Doherty power amplifier and separated BBU-RRU architecture, advanced terminals (IoT, D2D, V2V, energy harvesting), and future network directions (SDN/NFV, MEC, joint BB-RF design, machine learning). The paper does not derive new technical results; it synthesizes existing literature, presents a milestone table (Table II), and argues that certain engineering aspects have been underappreciated in prior surveys.
Significance. If the historical claims are accurate, the paper could serve as a useful entry point and reference for both newcomers and practitioners, especially because it highlights engineering solutions that many theoretical surveys omit. The paper is clearly written and brings together a broad literature in one place. However, its novelty is limited: it is a narrative review rather than a systematic survey, and its central historical claims rest on the authors' own selection of milestones. With corrections to the milestone dating and a clearer statement of scope, the survey could be a worthwhile contribution.
major comments (3)
- [Table II vs. Section III] The milestone table's dating of the SE-EE tradeoff is internally inconsistent with the paper's own citations. Table II lists '2010: The SE-EE tradeoff has been discovered [1]' and '2011: Four fundamental tradeoffs ... discovered [2]', while Section III cites [3] (Cui, Goldsmith, and Bahai, 2005) for energy-constrained modulation optimization with circuit energy, reporting near-80% energy savings, and [8] (2004) for energy-efficient MIMO and cooperative MIMO. Selecting a constellation size under a circuit-power-aware energy budget already embodies the SE-EE tradeoff. Please rephrase the milestone entries to say 'analytically characterized for the RAN context' or explicitly distinguish an earlier terminal-side notion from the later network-side formulation, and justify the 2010 discovery date.
- [II (Table II) and V.D] The paper does not state any search or inclusion criteria for the references used to build the historical milestone table, and it presents Table II as a list of 'milestones' without the kind of caveat it attaches to the advanced-terminals section, where Section V.D explicitly says the solutions are 'by no means complete.' Because the paper's central contribution is a historical map, the absence of selection criteria and the lack of a similar caveat for Table II make the map's representativeness unverifiable. Please add a statement of scope (e.g., 'selected representative works' vs. 'comprehensive list') and, if the milestones are meant to be comprehensive, describe the search and inclusion procedure.
- [I and IV.D] The claim that engineering solutions such as the Doherty PA and separated BBU-RRU architecture 'might be overlooked in many past survey or tutorial papers' is asserted without specifying which past surveys or tutorials were examined. As written, this claim is not checkable. Please either name the comparison set of surveyed publications and show that they omit these topics, or soften the claim to indicate that these topics are not extensively discussed in the surveys the authors themselves cite.
minor comments (5)
- [IV, Eq. (2)] The text following Eq. (2) says 'PRF and RBB' but the equation uses P_RF and P_BB; please fix the notation inconsistency and check that the symbol definitions match between text, equations, and Figure 3.
- [III and IV] Quantitative gains such as '50-80% power savings' (Section IV.A, from [52]), '25% to 40%' (Section IV.B, from [56]), and 'more than 50%' (Section IV.D, from [61]) are cited without indicating that these are values reported in the cited works, not independently verified by this paper. Please add phrases like 'as reported in [x]' or 'according to [x]'.
- [Table II, 2002 entry] The 2002 milestone entry says 'EE has been defined' and cites [10]; the reference is a design-challenges paper, not a definitional paper. Please rephrase the entry to say 'energy efficiency was discussed for ad hoc networks' or cite the specific page or section where a definition is given.
- [Table I] The acronym table contains a typo: 'LPW A' should be 'LPWA'. In addition, the paper uses 'spectrum efficiency' and 'spectral efficiency' interchangeably; please unify.
- [Figure 3] Figure 3 appears to be a low-resolution or corrupted image; a clean redrawn diagram of the power model would substantially improve readability.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: the paper is a survey whose claims are literature attributions, not derivations from its own outputs.
full rationale
This paper is a historical and tutorial survey of green radio research over 20 years. It contains no derivation chain in which a quantity is fitted and then renamed as a prediction, and no definition that presupposes its own conclusion. Eq. (1), the SE-EE expression, is quoted from prior work [22] and is used only to illustrate the tradeoff, not derived from the survey's own framework. The organizational claim that 'four fundamental tradeoffs have been identified in [2]' is an attribution to a peer-reviewed external publication; using the authors' own prior taxonomy as a classification lens is self-citation but not circular, because the tradeoffs are externally checkable and the survey adds no new mathematical result that would reduce to the taxonomy. Similarly, Table II's milestones cite [1] and [2], which are authored by the present authors, for the 2010 and 2011 entries, but those entries are historical attributions rather than predictions forced by a fit. The possible tension between the 2005 energy-constrained modulation work [3] and the 'discovered in 2010' dating is a historical-accuracy concern, not a circularity concern, and per the rules belongs under correctness risk rather than circularity. No step in the paper exhibits the specific reduction required to establish circularity, so the honest finding is no significant circularity.

Green radios jointly consider the spectrum efficiency and the energy efficiency in wireless networks in order to provide sustainable development. In the past two decades, various green radio solutions for different types of terminals and radio access networks have been developed, some of which have been used in the designs of wireless products. In this paper, we provide a historical view on some fundamental works and practical issues. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview on theoretical achievements, we also discuss several important power saving solutions with notable engineering impacts, such as Doherty power amplifier and separated baseband unit - remote radio unit architecture, which might be overlooked in previous publications. Moreover, with the huge growth of wireless traffic in the near future, green radio design for future wireless networks shall involve an end-to-end energy efficiency investigation of mobile terminals, radio access and core networks, and different applications. By introducing green radio schemes for advanced terminals and future wireless networks, this article will not only be beneficial for readers with only preliminary background in communications and signal processing but also have reference and historical values for researchers and practical engineers in the area.
