*Green Communications and Networking for 5G*



*Submission Deadline: May31, 2016*



*IEEE Access* invites manuscript submissions in the area of *Green
Communications and Networking for 5G.*



The previous four generations of cellular technology is already being
deployed. Research efforts are now being shifted to the fifth-generation
(5G) communication systems. Indeed, 5G will need to be a paradigm shift
that includes very high carrier frequencies with massive bandwidths,
extreme base station and device densities, and unprecedented numbers of
antennas. However, unlike the previous four generations, high speed data
transfer and ubiquitous connectivity among various types of devices will be
provided by integration of LTE and WiFi.



Due to the explosive increase of energy consumption, it is essential for
governmental and industrial institutions to address this problem.
Therefore, the development of green and energy-efficient 5G communication
systems has recently become an important issue in communications. It is
envisioned in such cases to become necessary to meet the growing demands
for high data rate with limited resources. This challenge, green
communication and networking for 5G, need to be overcome and already has
attracted attention from the research community. For example,
energy-efficient massive MIMO techniques have been actively studied in
recent years, as energy efficient communication systems are expected to
play an important role in both low-carbon economic and environment protect.
Addressing problems in green communication and networking will hopefully
allow us to reach the realization of sustainable development.



In addition to the highly visible demand for data rate, there are a number
of other factors that make green communications and networking for 5G
challenging, including re-allocating bandwidth driven by market, the
possibility of an “Internet of Things” comprised of billions of
miscellaneous devices, the virtualization both in the core and edge
network, the new application of millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum, and the
way of past and current cellular integration as well as WiFi standards. A
ubiquitous high-rate and low-latency experience for network users with low
energy consumption is the ultimate goal for 5G implementation.



The need for green communications and networking technologies has been
recognized during the last few years by our research communities. However,
many challenges still remain to be addressed. This Special Section in IEEE
Access is intended to encourage high-quality research in green
communications and networking for 5G, and push the theoretical and
practical bound forward for a deeper understanding in fundamental
algorithms, modeling, and analysis techniques from academics and industry
viewpoints. Authors from both academia and industry are invited to submit
papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of green
communications and networking for 5G, including algorithms, modeling,
technologies and applications. The topics suggested can be discussed in
terms of concepts, the state of the art, standards, implementations and
evaluation, and running experiments and/or applications.
