The future success of communication networks hinges on the ability to overcome the mismatch between requested quality of service (QoS) and limited network resources. Spectrum is a natural resource that cannot be replenished and therefore must be used efficiently. On the other hand, energy efficiency is increasingly important for the society, especially for mobile data networks because of the growing demand in mobile communications, shortage in energy supply, and need of environmental protection. To meet the energy efficiency demand, traditional design philosophies of existing network architectures and protocols should be revisited. More importantly, many of them need to be broken to come up with new ones. This tutorial introduces state-of-the-art cross-layer technologies to improve both spectral and energy efficiencies from different perspectives of mobile data networks. We will first discuss basic wireless channel properties and methodologies needed to enable high-performance wireless networks. Then we introduce recent spectrum- and energy-efficient communication technologies for both individual- and multi-user networks. To be more specific, our treatment will cover not only centralized wireless networks like cellular access networks, but also distributed ones like ad hoc and sensor networks. We will discuss in detail the relation between SE and EE in different types of wireless networks and introduce new guidelines that will significantly improve SE and EE for future network design.
