Trend: Green ICT/Low energy NetworksUltrafast, highest performance

Wireless and Radio Networks Strong incentive for Energy efficient

radio, as radio network represents about90% of operators OPEX

Energy consumption of Mobile Networks

is growing fast Uneven load: 10% sites carry 50%

traffic, room for optimisation; Requires holistic approach:

components, traffic optimization,protocolsMulti layer issue

ICT research: EARTH, target to

decrease energy consumption in radioaccess by 50%

Optical networks Strong potential for energy efficiency; Despite all technology improvements,

router energy will becomeunsustainable beyond 2020 because

of traffic increase FTTH could lead to a bottleneck at

the core network Calls for optical architecture with

lowest possible switching layer, trafficaggregation, all optical end-to-endarchitecture (requires radio over fiber

interfaces)

Towards multiple, cognitive, elastic, adaptive, seamless,E2E Wireless and Optical Networks

The interplay with the NoE Internet Sciencetowards smart innovation

1. Interoperability/open standards as important as ever so as to avoidsilos/ fragmentation; M2M, IoT which impact on society/economy/keyservices and infrastructures?

2. Research with strong innovation orientation: Future Internetarchitectures need to enable new usages, new business models, newgovernance and meet (new?) societal needs;

3. Europe can build on its telecommunications andapplications/services strengths, but also on its researchers andsocial assets and take a leading role in ICT-enabled smart growthlinking via policies into social-economic goals

4. Need for critical mass; involvement of new players beyond ICTboundaries: networks theory; complexity theory, social construction of

technology, games theory, social networks;5. User driven open innovation, large scale test-beds;

The NoE on Internet Science should help in putting the future networks

research within the broader picture
