abstract = "Human being is affected by the global warming that makes nations look seriously for green solutions such as green wireless. Such solution, a renewable energy source is used to feed the mobile networks in additional to the conventional energy source. The challenge is the instability of the renewable energy source, so it is needed to adopt a flexible network protocol to maintain service availability by switching to the conventional energy supply and vice versa. In this paper, we propose a new approach to employ the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) in a heterogeneous network to provide a stable telecom service. The recovery of telecommunication will be reflected positively on the humanitarian benefit such as conserving in coast and pollution mitigation. The results are presented to show that SCTP can manage the handover between the conventional energy fed base stations and renewable energy fed base stations smoothly. We can infer from the results that SCTP is a promising protocol and it might add value to the humanitarian development for the long term toward the sustainable energy utilization.",
