Wireless networks are rapidly becoming the most popular way of connecting to broadband through home and mobile devices. The resulting customer demand for ubiquitous network access and wireless services is mainly responsible for increased energy consumption and consequently for the growing carbon footprint of the mobile communications industry. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector and the mobile communications industry have been estimated to jointly represent around 2% of global CO2 emissions. Even with the technological advancements in the ICT infrastructure, 6-9% growth rate in CO2 emissions is expected every year till 2020 which shows a steep growing pattern over the last few years with the proliferation of smart phones, tablet computers, and other smart devices. The fundamental factors contributing to the overall global carbon footprint of mobile communications industry include production, operation, distribution and maintenance of the mobile communications networks, devices and services. Based on the listed facts and figures, it can be concluded that the ICT sector in general and mobile communication industry in particular are not exempted from reducing their carbon footprint and have a considerable potential to decrease global carbon footprint especially in developing and emerging economies. To fulfill the escalated customer demands, it is therefore essential to consider paradigm-shifting technologies to increase the spectral and energy efficiency of upcoming ICT and 5G wireless networks.
The debut edition of this workshop, GreeNets2017 , organized in conjunction with the 2017 IEEE International Conference on Ubiquitous Wireless Broadband ICUWB in Salamanca, Spain , will be a collection of outstanding technical research/position and industrial papers covering novel Green solutions and recent research results with wide range of ingredients within the 5G framework (with specific focus on Energy efficiency and low carbon emission technologies). The workshop will provide an opportunity for exchanging ideas and creating new space for innovative game-changing end-to-end Green solutions to the challenging problems of designing, monitoring and management of smart energy efficient communications systems for emerging applications and services in ICT.
