Sažetak
This book, Green, Energy-Efficient and Sustainable Networks, focuses on all aspects of the research and development related to these areas. The book contains the outcomes of the Special Issue on “Green, Energy-Efficient and Sustainable Networks” of the Sensors journal published by MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute). Eighteen high-quality works have been collected and reproduced in this book, demonstrating significant achievements in the field. Among published scientific papers, one paper is an editorial and one paper is a review, while the remaining 16 works are research articles. Published papers are self-contained peer-review scientific works. The editorial paper gives an introduction to the problem of ICT energy consumption and greenhouse-gas-emissions, presenting the state of the art and future trends in terms of improving the energy-efficiency of wireless networks and data centers as the major energy consumers in the ICT sector. In addition, the published articles aim to improve energy efficiency in the fields of software-defined networking (SDN), Internet of things (IoT), machine learning, authentication, energy harvesting, wireless relay systems, routing metrics, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the device to device (D2D) communications, heterogeneous wireless networks (HetNets), and image sensing. The last paper is a review that gives a detailed overview of the energy-efficiency improvements and methods for the implementation of fifth-generation (5G) networks and beyond. More than 80 different authors from both academia and industry backgrounds have contributed to this book. Therefore, this book can serve as a source of information for industrial, teaching, and/or research and development activities. Hence, the book gives insights and solutions for a range of problems in the field of obtaining greener, energy-efficient, and sustainable networks and it lays the foundation for solving new challenges and achieving future advances. The book editors would like to thank all authors who have submitted their articles and all reviewers for their valuable work dedicated to giving an expert review for submitted papers. Moreover, the book editors are grateful to all those involved in the publication of this book for their invaluable support, including the editors of Sensors and the team of people involved in editing the Sensors journal Special Issue on “Green, Energy-Efficient and Sustainable Networks.” We sincerely hope that this book will be a valuable source of information, presenting recent advances in different fields related to greening and improving the energy-efficiency and sustainability of those information and communication technologies particularly addressed in this book.
