[DMANET] Greenet Workshop at VTC Spring 2011

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second Green Wireless Communications and Networks Workshop (GreeNet)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Co-located with IEEE VTC Spring 2011, Budapest, Hungary
15th-18th May 2011

Workshop Overview
----------------------
The objective of this workshop is to discuss new technologies that can be
exploited to improve the efficiency and sustainability of future wireless
networks. One major area where advances may be made is in moving towards more
heterogeneous wireless networks which employ a mix of network components,
such as macro-cell base stations, wireless (fixed and/or mobile) relays,
microcells, picocells and femtocells. A second important avenue of research
relates to new technologies and algorithms that can be deployed within the
radio of each device to reduce energy consumption. Examples of such
technologies include efficient radio amplifiers, antennas and multiple input
multiple output (MIMO) configurations as well as new energy saving physical layer
techniques and packet scheduling algorithms.

Papers on the following (but not limited to) topics are invited:

* Energy Efficient Wireless Network design: Efficient network architectures
; Radio access networks; Network traffic engineering and QoS support; Netwo
rk operation and management

* Enabling technologies: Physical layer techniques; MAC protocols;
Cross-layer optimization; Cognitive networks

* Network components and devices: Low power devices User terminal designs
Base station hardware architectures Power management for user terminals and
network devices

* Applications of wireless technologies: Wireless networking for smart grid
and power management; home working/smart office; Intelligent transport;
Machine-to-machine communications; Regulatory issues; Applications to 3GPP/IE
EE 802 standards
