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.
