- Energy Efficient TransmissionTechniques for LTEPublication . Cardoso, Filipe; Petersson, Sven; Boldi, Mauro; Mizuta, Shinji; Dietl, Guido; Torrea-Duran, Rodolfo; Desset, Claude; Leinonen, Jouko; Correia, LuísThe goal of the European ICT ProjectEARTH is to enhance energy efficiency of cur-rent LTE cellular networks by 50 percent,enabling operators to provide more extensivecoverage, namely to less densely populatedareas, while ensuring high levels of efficiency,hence, reducing the carbon footprint. In order toachieve this objective, different strategies, at dif-ferent levels, are being addressed. Energy effi-cient transmission techniques for LTE, proposedwithin the framework of EARTH, are addressedand discussed, with an emphasis on beamform-ing and MIMO. It is concluded that the strategicobjective of EARTH is achievable. CombinedMIMO mode selection, resource allocation,scheduling and precoding strategies will allow anenergy consumption reduction of more than 50percent in macro-cells. A reduction in MIMOpower consumption of 91.7 percent (factor of12) can be achieved in pico-cells

- Physical Layer Aware Network Architecture for the Future InternetPublication . Cardoso, Filipe; Correia, Luís; Mannersalo, Petteri; Frantti, Tapio; Serrador, António; Nunzi, Giorgio; Genay, Naveena; Le Rouzic, EstherIn this article, physical layer awareness inaccess, core, and metro networks is addressed,and a Physical Layer Aware Network Architec-ture Framework for the Future Internet is pre-sented and discussed, as proposed within theframework of the European ICT Project4WARD. Current limitations and shortcomingsof the Internet architecture are driving researchtrends at a global scale toward a novel, secure,and flexible architecture. This Future Internetarchitecture must allow for the co-existence andcooperation of multiple networks on commonplatforms, through the virtualization of networkresources. Possible solutions embrace a fullrange of technologies, from fiber backbones towireless access networks. The virtualization ofphysical networking resources will enhance thepossibility of handling different profiles, whileproviding the impression of mutual isolation.This abstraction strategy implies the use of wellelaborated mechanisms in order to deal withchannel impairments and requirements, in bothwireless (access) and optical (core) environ-ments.
