Green Communications and Networking Systems ? A Challenge to Current Communications and Protocols

Green Communications and Networking can bring about significant reductions in energy consumption in the information and communication technology (ICT) industry?as well as other industries. The paper attempts to present latest research in green communications and networking for next-generation wired, wireless, and smart-grid networks. The paper studies cutting-edge algorithms, protocols, and network architectures to improve energy efficiency in communication networks. It illustrates the various aspects of modelling, analysis, design, management, deployment, and optimization of algorithms, protocols, and architectures of green communications and networking. The text examines energy-efficient hardware platforms, physical layer, networking, and applications. The paper introduces a new solution for delivering green last-mile access: broadband wireless access with fibre-connected massively distributed antennas (BWA-FMDA). It also presents a methodology for optimizing time averages in systems with variable length frames. Surveying a representative number of demand and response methods in smart grids, the text supplies you with the understanding of smart grid dynamics needed to participate in the development of next-generation wireless cellular networks.
