Going Beyond Green Radio Tech
Future network architectures Small cells vs Cloud base stations Self-organising and self-healing networks
Energy efficiency of handsets Smartphones but not-so-smart battery technology Finding the balance between the network and handset
Future energy sources Ensuring reliable energy sources beyond 2015 Renewable energy/off grid solutions embodied vs
operational energy consumption Spectrum management issues
Coordination of multiple licensed spectrum bands that are opening up via auctions and unlicensed spectrum
Radio technologies to handle all the available bands!
