Abstract Small cell base stations (SBSs) are expected to be ultra-densely deployed in the next generation (5G) cellular networks and beyond, to connect the massive mobile devices and meet the ever increasing traffic demand [1, 2]. Energy harvesting (EH) technologies utilize renewable energy to support the huge power consumption of dense SBSs, and meanwhile, EH-SBSs can be deployed in a “drop-and-play” manner enabling flexible network deployment [3]. Therefore, the future green cellular networks are envisioned as heterogeneous networks (HetNets) consisting of on-grid conventional macro base stations (MBSs) and EH-SBSs [4, 5].
