Mobile VCE Workshop on Green Radio, 23rd June 2011, Brussels, Belgium
in conjunction with the Wireless Innovation Forum European Conference on
Communications Technologies and Software Defined Radio
The power consumption in providing mobile and wireless communications
services is considerable. For instance, a mobile communications operator in
the UK may use an average power (in electricity and gas, combined) of 40-50
megawatts in running its business, the vast majority of which is consumed by
the mobile network. As well as having an associated carbon emissions level
dependent on the means for generating and providing electricity among other
factors, this power consumption can be very expensive for the mobile
operator, especially given ongoing increases in energy prices.
In view of the above, considerable research effort is being expended to
reduce energy consumption in mobile and wireless communications, thereby not
only implying a reduction in the carbon emissions associated with service
provision, but also potentially leading to a significant saving in operating
expenditure for mobile communications operators and other service providers
This workshop aims to investigate various means for such energy consumption
reduction, following two classes of approaches. First, it will cover green
mobile and wireless communications architectures and techniques, such as,
for example, improved modulation techniques and greener base station
designs. Next, it will investigate the potential for improved spectrum usage
paradigms to reduce energy consumption. Finally, a panel session will
discuss the work that has been presented, in order to provide a well-rounded
view on the gains of various energy consumption reduction techniques.
Original paper submissions are invited on the following topics:-
- Energy-efficient mobile communications hardware design
- Energy-efficient mobile communications network configuration
- Sleep modes for mobile communications network infrastructure
- Energy-efficient PHY techniques
- Energy-efficient spectrum allocation paradigms
- Energy-efficient communications protocols
- Cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access for green communications
- Energy-efficient MAC and interference mitigation techniques
- Energy-efficient backhaul techniques
