-----------------------------------
Today’s advanced cellular networks struggle to cope with the ever-increasing real-time and non-real time service demands of highly mobile users. The plethora of these services requests leads the provision of novel next generation communications modes. As one of these convenient solutions to foster new demands and services, the implementation of the Heterogeneous Networks, HetNets, has emerged as a promising approach among academic and industrial researchers. However, the implementation of HetNets has also brought huge energy consumption and energy efficiency challenges. The execution of energy aware and green communication paradigms in HetNets still remains to be addressed. This workshop is expected to merge researchers with academic and industrial visions in order to discuss the major aforementioned challenges and to stimulate novel contributions in energy aware HetNets implementations with powerful physical and software-defined networking points of view.
The workshop will provide an avenue for active collaboration and networking between researchers and industry representatives.
Topics of interest cover most of the recent hardware and software defined communication aspects for
energy awareness in HetNets including (but not limited to):
----------------------------------------------------
- Energy efficient MIMO techniques for HetNets
- Green interference management
- Energy harvesting in HetNet deployments
- Energy aware testbed implementations in HetNets
- SDN based management for green HetNets
- Self-optimization and self-healing aspects
- Green traffic engineering in Hetnets
- Energy efficient HetNets virtualization
- Energy efficient programmability in SDN controllers for HetNets
- Green routing and forwarding schemes in SDN based HetNets
