Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by the telecommunication sector were always a cause of great concern and several remedial solutions were investigated by the academia and industry in the past. Standard bodies, such as the IEEE, are already developing standards for energy-efficient communication networks. While research and development in the general area of energy efficient telecommunications has already been explored, energy efficient solutions for emerging Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems, are still far from being explored. With the emergence of Internet-of-Things (IoT), the energy consumption at sensor devices due to additional computing and communication add-ons, mobile phone terminals, and cloud computing systems, is expected to increase significantly. Moreover, the connection and communication requirements of IoT devices via RFID, GPS, and 5G networks bring additional energy consumption. As such, Information and Communication Technology (ICT,) and in particular the 5G driven IoT network architectures needs to become greener and consider transmission capacity along with energy efficiency and sustainability.
This workshop solicits original and innovative research contributions to manage energy consumption of the 5G driven IoT systems. It not only covers energy minimization aspect of the 5G driven IoT systems but also make a step forward towards sustainable 5G driven IoT systems powered by renewable energy sources. A lot of interesting trade-offs and related challenges between the energy generation/production, energy consumption, and energy recycling require a careful investigation. To make IoT systems sustainable, energy efficient resource allocation and energy harvesting solutions go hand to hand and can thus potentially maximize the revenues for the network operators.
The objective of this workshop is to provide a premier forum across academia and industry to address all important issues relevant to green communications and computing in 5G driven IoT systems. The workshop aims to explore recent research achievements and relevant contributions that provide insights into the fundamental concepts, performance metrics, energy efficient architectures and resource management solutions, realistic energy consumption models for wireless sensors/devices, energy efficient cloud management, integration of renewable energy sources and smart grids for green IoT systems that are potentially enabled with emerging 5G wireless technologies.
