1st International Workshop on Green Wireless Systems
The transmitted data volume increases approximately by a factor of 10 every 5 years, which corresponds to an increase of the associated energy consumption by approximately 16 – 20 % per year. Currently, 3 % of the world-wide energy is consumed by the ICT infrastructure which causes about 2 % of the world-wide CO2 emissions (which is comparable to the world-wide CO2 emissions by airplanes or one quarter of the world-wide CO2 emissions by cars). If this energy consumption is doubled every 5 years, serious problems will arise. Therefore, lowering energy consumption of future wireless radio systems is demanding greater attention. Another challenge of future wireless radio systems is to globally reduce the electromagnetic radiation levels to have a better coexistence of wireless system (less interference) as well as a reduced human exposure to radiations. These needs create inter-disciplinary research challenges including semiconductor technology, hardware, networks, services, and radio transmission, where schemes have to be designed that operate with a reduced transmit power and reduced radiations.
