Special Issue IEEE Communication Surveys and Tutorials

 

*Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication*

 

 

Background

 

Multimedia has gained immense popularity in a variety of
applications related to education, entertainment, business,
and location-based services. Recent advances in networking
and display technologies have enabled the dissemination of
multimedia to a variety of devices, from cellular telephones
to tablet PCs to wall-size screens. The proliferation of
media hosting services and social networks have allowed
users to easily share multimedia content with a much wider
audience. Digital cameras and camcorders have replaced films
and tapes, making it simpler to generate multimedia. Users
can easily view, process, analyze, publish, retrieve, or
modify multimedia on these devices. However, energy
consumption is still a major challenge in the dissemination
of multimedia. Energy is consumed during various stages -
processing, communication, and storage - of multimedia. In
addition, data centers where media services are hosted have
also seen a rapid increase in energy consumption in recent
times. This trend is not sustainable. Significant progress
must be made to save energy and slow down the rate of energy
consumption in all these stages. This special issue aims to
provide researchers and professionals in the communication,
networking, multimedia, and computing communities with
insightful papers that present an overview of new approaches
to making multimedia communications more energy-efficient.

 

Scope

 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 

Energy-efficient network/communication protocols for
multimedia data transmission Energy-efficient multimedia
communication architectures Low-power hardware, software, or
both for different stages of multimedia processing, such as
acquisition, coding, compression, storage, transmission, and
reception Energy-efficient techniques for content analysis,
indexing, searching, and retrieval in resource-constrained
(such as mobile and embedded) systems System-level
energy-efficient design and implementation for multimedia
communication Energy conservation for multimedia on mobile
devices Tools for measuring and analyzing energy consumed
during multimedia communication

 

Manuscript Submission
