Scope:
Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide concern. Six
sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings, industry, agriculture and
forestry, and land use, have been identified as major contributors to the
rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The mobile industry is seen as a
potential enabler to reduce greenhouse gases contributed by these six
sources provided that appropriate measures are implemented. On the other
hand, the mobile industry itself will also contribute to CO2 emission
through network operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement
of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the operation
expenditure or energy consumption of mobile networks, while maintaining
acceptable quality of service. This conference will explore and explain the
scope and challenges of designing, building, and deploying GreenNets. In
this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together
research professionals from diverse fields including green mobile networks,
system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications,
test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation
transmission, system and application issues related to GreenNets.

TOPICS:
The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously
published and are not currently
under review for publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited
to:
1. Communications and Networking:
- Communication techniques and protocols for GreenNets
- Energy-efficient transmission technologies based on the cooperation
communication
- Scalable and flexible energy efficiency mobile network architectures,
deployments, and applications

2. Energy-efficient network architecture & protocols:
- Scalability and mobility issues in energy efficiency cross-layer design
- MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for mobile networks

3. Systems and Technology:
- Transactions and workflows in green mobile networks
- Adaptability and stability of green mobile networks
- Mobile and multimedia supported green mobile networks
- Experimental and test bed studies for energy efficiency mobile networks,
simulation tools

4. Energy-efficient management:
- Energy-efficient traffic balance, cooperation and management
- Distributed energy efficiency resource management techniques
- Protocols for cooperative management and control
