Annonce

Value and sustainability should guide the “why” and the “how” of 6G. The 6G technology should be designed to enable added-value services to its users and the society. Among theses services, sustainability-enabling services for the society and vertical industries are of particular interest. In addition, it is mandatory that the 6G infrastructure and services are themselves sustainable from the environmental, social and economic perspectives. Environmental sustainability involves particularly a low energy consumption and low CO2 emissions.

The objective of this workshop is to gather researchers for discussing and presenting results on sustainability and 6G networks. The topics include, but are not limited to:

–             Energy saving mechanisms for mobile networks: sleep mode, energy efficient physical layer, network optimization for energy sobriety.

–             Goal-oriented communications and sustainability

–             Impact assessment and life cycle analysis of mobile networks

–             6G networks as enablers for sustainability of society and industries
