Abstract
Climate change has been an important international agenda these days and will be more important in the future. A number of climate groups have been working on to reduce CO2 emissions. A climate group (called GeSI) has identified that information and communications technology (ICT) sectors can play a key role in reducing CO2 emissions by 15% in Smart 2020 report. To reduce CO2 emissions, it is also important to provide energy efficient solutions in wireless communications. As the number of mobile subscribers increases and there are more people using smartphones, the energy consumption in wireless communications increases significantly. In this talk, we discuss how the energy consumption can be reduced in wireless communications.
