Introduction
We are moving towards a networked society with unconstrained access to information and sharing of data available anywhere and anytime to anyone and anything. One of the biggest challenges that the network access segment is facing is how to meet these future requirements and expectations in an affordable and sustainable way. Low energy consumption is the key to achieve this. In fact already today, the operator’s energy bill is an increasing part of the operational expenditure, and with the future requirements and expectations there is a clear risk that this may increase even further if nothing is done. There is also a sustainability aspect to consider: even though IT today only contribute to a fraction of a percent of the global CO2 footprint, it is important to maintain or even reduce this in the future. The goal of this workshop is to provide a holistic understanding of the green aspects of the network access segment as a whole (i.e., mobile plus fixed broadband). This will be achieved by bringing together experts from both academia and industry in the forefront of the energy efficient broadband access field, i.e., energy efficient cellular design, rechargeable energy harvesting wireless networks, energy efficient Passive Optical Network solutions, and green backhaul/fronthaul strategies specifically tailored for converged wired-wireless scenarios.
