Preface
Future green cellular networks are expected to trace traffic variations in order to provide service on demand and exploit renewable energy to support network operations. However, the dynamics of traffic demand and the intermittent nature of renewable energy may cause problems like energy overflow, outage, and underutilization, posing great challenges for green cellular networks. Wireless traffic steering has been considered as a promising solution, by means of adjusting traffic distribution across the network to match and better utilize network resources. Specifically, traffic steering can enable flexible base station (BS) sleeping and dynamic network planning, where the corresponding users can be served by other active BSs for quality of service (QoS) provisioning through intra- or inter-tier traffic steering. By doing so, network energy consumption can be reduced during low traffic hours, which effectively improves energy efficiency. Furthermore, traffic steering can also manipula
