The steady rise of power cost in combination with regulatory
initiatives and government policies that aim to address social
responsibility, are driving the academia and industry towards
energy efficient solutions for ICT (Information and Communication
Technologies). In addition, the demand for ubiquitous coverage and
higher speed networking causes continuous enhancements in network
infrastructure, while the increasing traffic volumes and flat rate
business/charging models are causing network operators difficulties
to secure profits. Green or energy efficient communications is the
means to reduce the cost of telecommunication services according to
the demand of use, helping also network operators to be
environmental friendly.
The potential to conserve energy in all system aspects and parts
of a telecommunication network is the focus of this book, which
aims to introduce in a tutorial style the general concepts and
practices of energy efficient and green communications. The
fundamental principles and concepts are overviewed and categorized
before particular examples demonstrate their applicability on
specific segments of a telecommunication network. The book aims to
elaborate specific mechanisms considering wired or fixed and
wireless communication networks as well as all network layers of a
telecommunication network emphasizing a system perspective. The
objective is to create a holistic approach, which combines
different wired and wireless mechanisms towards a comprehensive
solution for green communications.
This book provides a comprehensive view of green communications
considering all areas of ICT including wireless and wired networks.
It analyses particular concepts and practices, addressing holistic
approaches in future networks considering a system perspective. It
makes full use of tables, illustrations, performance graphs, case
studies and examples making it accessible for a wide audience.
