Wireless and Satellite Communications

Green, Energy-Efficient, and Sustainable Communication Networks

Sustainability has become a central objective in the design and operation of communication networks. This track explores energy-efficient technologies and architectures aimed at reducing the environmental impact of wireless and satellite systems. Participants will examine power-efficient hardware design, energy-aware protocols, and renewable energy integration for network infrastructure.

The track further addresses sustainable network management practices, including traffic optimization, dynamic resource allocation, and lifecycle assessment. Emerging concepts such as green 5G/6G, energy harvesting, and carbon-aware networking are discussed. By focusing on both technological innovation and environmental responsibility, this track emphasizes the role of communication networks in supporting global sustainability goals.
