Call For Papers

Mobile data traffic grows exponentially in the current mobile communication systems driven by the development of mobile Internet and smart phones. Initial estimations indicate that, different from the evolutionary path of previous cellular generations that was based on spectral efficiency improvements; the most substantial amount of future system performance gains will be obtained by means of network infrastructure densification. The opportunities and challenges of fifth-generation (5G) rapidly gain great attention from academics, industries, and governments. Ultra dense network (UDN) is a promising technique to meet the requirements of explosive data traffic in 5G mobile communications. Moreover, when overlaid on top of the macrocells, low power small cells (such as femtocell and picocell) can improve the coverage and capacity of cellular networks by exploiting spatial reuse of the spectrum. Dense small cells can also offload the wireless data traffic of user equipments (UEs) from macrocells, especially for an indoor environment where more than 80% of the data traffic occurs. and temporal reuse, thus reducing the power consumption. Despite the ever growing interests, the research on the use of cognitive and cooperative approaches to achieve sustainable and green networking and computing is still in its infancy, especially given the complexity and application constraints of the emerging communication and computing infrastructures. Some fundamental problems are still open.
