摘要：Energy minimization is the imperative task in wireless networksto improve the network performance. Performing the same task on the heterogeneous networks(HetNets)and small cells is an additional burden and it complicates the work more. Although much research has been done and addressedthe energy consumption task in different wireless networks, there some limitations, which concentrated only on the homogeneous networks. To achieve the profit on energy minimization task in HetNets, numerous techniques were used.This survey discusses the techniques and tools used for energy analysis and minimization in HetNets and finally provide an outline to overcome the problems of those techniques
