In recent years, issues on greenhouse pollution and power consumption related to the operation of information communication technology (ICT) devices have triggered a huge amount of research work towards green radio communication. Many of the power efficient solutions will introduce cost performance trade-offs. The energy efficient solution which also takes care of the quality requests of the mobile customer is really required for the 5G based green radio communication. It is identified that enhanced nodeBs (eNB) are power inefficient and not suited for many deployment scenarios. Multihop relay (MHR) network is the suitable alternate for eNB especially in the coverage holes and cell edges. But MHR network suffers by various quality issues like site planning and path selection. Many of the site planning and path selection schemes will fail under network imbalance conditions. In this work, we have proposed a hybrid throughput oriented (TO) - load aware spectral efficient routing (LASER) scheme which offers high performance even under network load imbalance conditions. The simulation results proved that the proposed scheme is more suited for future green radio communication. © 2015 River Publishers.
