Communication technologies continue to be a central element of the transition to smart, energy-efficient and sustainable lifestyles. Communications systems used in these applications often require novel solutions to not only meet unique sustainability requirements, but also to address the environmental impact of the communication technologies themselves. The energy requirements of communication systems are a burgeoning problem that is already straining operating budgets and attracting the attention of policy makers around the world.

The 2015 IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications (OnlineGreenComm'15) is in its fifth year of providing a forum for research and technology development in the growing area of green communications and networking. IEEE OnlineGreenComm'15 encompasses both energy-efficient and sustainable communication technologies as well as various green applications addressed through novel communication solutions. Original, unpublished research paper submissions are solicited from industrial, academic, and other non-profit or public sector researchers reporting on substantial results on green communications and networking. Submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be archived through IEEE Xplore. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to those listed below.
