Green communications
An important area of research in the Institute are the so-called green communications, which encompass
techniques aiming at high energy efficiency in the next-generation communication and computing net-
works. These techniques are designed to minimize the energy per successfully transmitted and pro-
cessed information unit (bit), whereas all network segments are analyzed, i.e., end-user equipment, wire-
less part (radio access network), wireline part (core network, Internet, long-distance optical links) and
data centers implementing computational tasks. Optimization of these separate segments is considered,
as well as joint optimization of the tasks transmission, offloading and computing in the network of vari-
ous configurations based on edge-, cloud- and fog computing. Moreover, brain-inspired energy-
efficient communication networking is a key topic of research in the Institute.
