Summary: In this paper, a hybrid-energy-powered cellular network is optimized to minimize the total energy cost by optimizing energy sharing, battery charging and discharging rates, and energy purchased from the grid. Uncertainties in renewable energy and wireless traffic demands are characterized using a new ambiguity set, and the optimization problem is transformed into a tractable second-order cone programming problem using distributionally robust optimization approach. A low-complexity distributionally robust chance-constrained energy management algorithm is proposed and simulation results demonstrate its superiority over existing methods in terms of computational complexity, energy cost, and reliability.

Summary: More spectrum bands are needed due to the increase in wireless applications. However, adapting the spectrum bands to new applications has become difficult, leading to a crowded spectrum and decreased quality of service. Cognitive radio, specifically spectrum sensing, is a promising technology to address this issue. In this study, a novel 5G spectrum sensing technique using a hybrid matched filter algorithm was implemented, and its performance was compared to traditional matched filtering in different channels. The hybrid matched filter demonstrated superior effectiveness in both Rayleigh and Rician channels.
