The Electronics Editorial Office retracts the article, “Energy Efficiency Maximization for Hybrid Powered 5G Networks with Energy Cooperation” [1], cited above.
Following publication, the authors contacted the Editorial Office regarding concerns relating to a number of significant scientific errors present within this publication [1].
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that confirmed the presence of significant errors within the 5G channel model and within the formula (Formula (2)) related to the establishment of the system mode, as well as a lack of certain parameters relevant for verifying the overall validity of the findings presented. As a result, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability of the conclusions and decided to retract this article [1] as per MDPI’s retraction policy (accessed on 4 July 2024).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Electronics.
The authors have agreed to this retraction.
