Call for Papers (open through April 29, 2011 May 10, 2011)

Scope for submission

Research in "Green" wireless communications is still at an early stage. Wireless-over-fibre and all-optical wireless technologies can already be considered green in offering reduced energy consumption relative to alternative wireless access solutions.

It is therefore not necessary that contributors consider their current research agenda as specifically green, only that they feel that their research may have merit in terms of further reductions in energy consumption.

GROWAN2011 is intended to be a pathfinder event that draws together diverse ideas to identify promising new research directions and to create new collaborations in the field.

Submission is encouraged in any one of the related domains below (but not limited thereto): 

• Green Wireless Access Networks & Home Networks

• Strategies for reducing power consumption
  at physical and network layers, e.g. switching on/off of coverage cells

• Innovative system & network architectures
  WDM-PON-ROF, optical generation, photonic mixing 

• Distributed Antenna Systems & Pico/femto-cellular Networks 
   
• Signal processing techniques for optimized power consumption 
  Linearisation
   
• Device Technologies
  RF, Optoelectronic components
   
• Strategies for reducing energy consumption
  Energy scavenging, frequency-agile systems and cognitive radio
   
• Other
  analogue vs digital, modulation formats
