Special Section on Green Mobile Multimedia Communications

Scope 
Recent ubiquitous deployment of mobile broadband devicesand serviceshasled to 
the explosive demands for mobilemultimedia communications, 
whichhavesignificantly increased not onlyspectrum requirements but also energy 
consumptions. Currently, the telecommunicationsindustry is responsible for 
about 2 percent ofglobalCO2 emissions, andit could increase to 4 percent by 
2020given the projected growthin mobile multimedia communications. This 
demonstrates an urgent need for energy-aware and spectrum-efficienttechnologies 
to achieve green mobilemultimedia communications. 
The broadband nature of mobile multimedia communications, combined with radio 
channel variations due to user mobility, brings many technicalchallenges to 
thedeliveryofsatisfactory quality of service andquality of experience to mobile 
users. For agiven performance requirement, there is a saturation point, 
wherethe energy consumption can no longer be reduced. For a fixedhomogeneous 
network deployment, the performance saturation point is dictated by hardware 
performance; while for a flexible heterogeneous networkdeployment, the 
performance saturation point isdictated by the achievable capacity of the 
network architecture and transmission techniques. Moreover, traditional mobile 
communication networksare designed statically based on theworst case of all 
expected communication scenarios. Without considering the dynamic nature of 
channel conditions and user traffic demands, existing mobile communication 
networksoften result in a very inefficient usage of
 the radioresources. For example, the conventional spectrum allocation 
approachesarenotflexible enough to cope with the varying channel conditions and 
user demands. All these challenges have motivated comprehensive efforts from 
both industry and academia in designing new energy- and 
spectrum-efficientnetwork architectures, protocols, algorithms and transmission 
technologies forgreenmobilemultimedia communications.
The objective of this special issue is to cover the most recent research and 
development on the enabling technologies for green mobile multimedia 
communicationsand to stimulate discussions on state-of-the-art and innovative 
aspects in the field. This special issue is focused on energyand 
spectrumefficiency in mobile multimedia communications. Originalandunpublished 
papers are encouraged.
