Scope:
Among the energy-consuming industries, the Information and Communication
Technology industry takes a significant amount (5%) of global carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions and 3% of global energy expenditure. Moreover, with the increasing demand
for higher data rates, the energy consumption for the Information and Communication
industry is increasing by 16-20% per year. In particular, 57% of the energy consumption
of the Information and Communication Technology industry is attributed to user
equipments and network devices in wireless networks. Therefore, the wireless industry
faces a sustainable development problem on energy consumption. It is critical to develop
energy efficient technologies to meet this challenge and enable green communications
and networking for environment protection while maintaining acceptable quality of
service.
The aim of this Workshop is to provide innovative contributions to the research and
development of energy-efficient communications and networking solutions. Contributors
and participants, from both industry and academia, are highly encouraged to take active
part in this Workshop.
Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE IWCMC 2014 proceedings and will be
included in the IEEE digital library (IEEE Xplore).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Methodologies and architectures for green communications and networking
? Signal processing for green communication networks
? Green applications and services for future sustainable societies
? Energy-aware cross-layer optimization for energy saving
? Cooperative radio communications for green and smart environments
? Green cognitive communications and networks
