The world is becoming an energy conscious society having a
profound impact on today's digital revolution. Current
shopping habits for electrical goods indicate that
consumers take the time to check the energy label to see
how energy compliant the new acquisition could be. This
paradigm is slowly spreading to the mobile industry and
will play a key role in market penetration for future
handsets.
The mobile phone of tomorrow will be more sophisticated in
nature, tending towards a personal area space that can
support mobile internet resulting in power hungry devices.
If we are to maintain market sustainability, then there is
a clear need for prolonged battery lifetime: the word
mobile is taken as de facto, in that users have the
freedom to roam around and be connected to the best
available technology at any time; however, if preventive
measures are not taken to conserve energy, then users
could be restricted to the nearest power supply falling
victim to the so called ?Energy Trap?.
On one hand, operators see a potential benefit from
investing in energy compliant systems since 98% of the
energy consumption is on the network side, meaning that
huge savings can be fore-seen in the operators?
electricity bill. On the other hand, instead of preventing
energy loss, en-ergy can be perceived as a tradable
commodity leading to new potential sources of revenue for
end users and operators since everyone can relate to
instances when they need to make that important call and
the battery logo is flashing whilst on the move ...
Key technologies for energy conservation and management
include cognitive and cooperative strategies, which are
seen as disruptive in nature:
- Cooperative strategies can be applied on several layers,
ranging from radio relaying to social networking; and
clearly they dictate how a group of entities can interact
and assist each other to achieve a common goal.
- Cognitive radio is a traditional subject that has been
applied to spectrum management, whereas here we refer to
the way we can make systems more intelligent based on
sensing, and reacting to the surrounding environment.
The joint application of these two technologies has led
towards new paradigms in network design and deployment for
energy saving, providing a stepping stone towards economic
and environmental sustainability for the future.
This workshop intends to bring together academic and
industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical
challenges and recent results related to energy efficiency
from user devices through to the core infrastructure of
the network and how these devices and equipment interact
among each other.
In such context, this workshop will address diverse
topics:
- Cognitive radios and networks
- Cooperative networks and communication
- Context awareness and signalling for energy saving
strategies
- Virtual MIMO
- Coordinated Multipoint
- Short range energy efficient communication
- Cooperative relaying for energy saving
- Energy efficient networking topologies and deployment
- Energy-efficient vertical handover procedures and
policies
- Reconfigurable radios and software defined radios
- Experimental test-beds and results for energy efficient
communication techniques
- Standardization and regulatory aspects and activities
for power efficient communication
- Advanced energy saving strategies in legacy and future
emerging technologies.
- Business models and incentives for energy saving.
*************************************************************************
Papers should be written in English with a standard length
of five (5)
printed pages (10-point font) including figures, without
incurring
additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with
extra charge if
accepted). You may use the standard IEEE Transactions
templates for
Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats found at
http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.html.
Alternatively you can follow the sample instructions in
template.pdf at
http://www.comsoc.org/confs/globecom/2008/template.pdf.
Only PDF files are
accepted for paper review. Your submitted PDF file and
registered EDAS
account of a paper must list the same author(s), title and
abstract (minor
wording differences in the abstract are ok). Papers where
the PDF and EDAS
account do not match the author(s), title, and/or abstract
will be withdrawn
by the Technical Program Co-Chairs or Symposium Co-Chairs.
