Wireless communications and networks has been serving the human kind for so many years by facilitating communication between people beyond the physical boundaries. Improvements in information processing competency of wireless nodes and efficient network planning coupled with advances in wireless communication have resulted in the emergence of nodes which have high processing and communication competences. One of the significant issues in 5G wireless communications is energy efficiency. Recently, in wireless communication system, many research activities have been emerged in the areas of energy saving hardware and devices, energy-efficient communication techniques, wireless power transfer (WPT) and simultaneous information and power transfer (SWIPT) for 5G technologies such as Massive MIMO, mmWave, the redesign of energy-aware network constructions and protocols, energy-aware software and applications, green communications, and renewable energy sources.
The conference session entitled “Energy-Aware 5G Wireless Communications” is expected to exchange ideas and thoughts about impacts of energy efficient communications and networks research on the state of the art as well as upcoming trends of issues related to research and applications of 5G related emerging topics.
