 Dear All,

apologies if you have already received this invitation, but I would like to 
invite you to submit your work to the workshop on Green Broadband Access: 
energy efficient wireless and wired network solutions 
(http://web.it.kth.se/~pmonti/WS_ICC_13/index).  

The WS will be co-located with the IEEE International Conference on 
Communications, ICC 2013 (http://www.ieee-icc.org/), June 9-13 2013, in 
Budapest, Hungary.

Paper registration deadline is January 4 2013
The submission deadline is January 11 2013.

Please take a look at the call for papers below.

We are looking forward to your submission.

Best regards,

Paolo Monti

There is a rising concern for the energy consumption of communication networks. 
It has been estimated that the global ICT energy consumption amounts to 7% of 
the entire electricity production. The access segment is of particular 
importance as it amounts to more than half of the total energy consumption 
associated with communication networks. These figures hold for current traffic 
loads, while projections show that by the year 2015 capacity requirements will 
be 25-30 times larger than today, with an expectation that by the year 2020 we 
will witness a thousand-folds increase in traffic.

For the wired access side, Passive Optical Networks (PONs), long reach PONs, 
and point-to-point fiber access solutions are becoming an energy efficient and 
attractive alternative. For wireless access, with the rapidly increasing 
bandwidth demands in mobile networks, and with the evolution towards more dense 
or heterogeneous networks, it is of particular importance to understand means 
of reducing the transmission and processing energy consumption of mobile 
devices. There are also indications that the backhaul contribution to power 
consumption will grow as mobile networks become denser, potentially reducing 
the benefits of energy efficient wireless access strategies. This calls for a 
holistic understanding of the energy optimization process of entire broadband 
access segment as a whole.

This workshop thus aims to bring in world experts in all aspects of green 
broadband access communication design and networking. The topics of interest 
include, but are not limited to:

             Energy efficient MIMO
             Green massive MIMO
             Green cooperation
             Femtocell networks and energy efficiency
             Multi-tier interference management and energy efficiency
             Base station energy consumption and optimization
             Small cell networks
             Energy and message cooperation
             Energy harvesting communication network design
             Transmission policies for energy harvesting nodes
             Receiver side energy issues
             Energy harvesting and consumption policies for rechargeable nodes
             Green backhauling strategies and architectures
             Energy efficient wireless access deployment strategies
             Standby/Idle power management
             Sleep techniques for Passive Optical Networks (PONs)
             Cooperative and collaborative networking for wireless broadband 
access
             Techno-economic assessment of green broadband solutions
             Quality of service aware energy efficient algorithms
             Green DSL access solutions
             Node consolidation and active equipment elimination
             Load adaptive fixed and wireless networks
             Energy efficient point-to-point access solutions
