Editorial - Green technologies for wireless communications and mobile computing

Green technology has been one of the most important issues in developing networking techniques and communication systems. Energy-efficient techniques used in networking and computing have recently received considerable attention. Green technologies foster environmental sustainability and the economics of energy efficiency. Reducing the energy consumption of computing and communication infrastructure in home, enterprise, and data centre environments by power-efficient technologies is an area of increasing importance for researchers and industry and commercial entities. The important key issues of Green technologies are related to energy efficiency in computing and promoting environmentally friendly computer technologies and systems. Green networking technologies play a significant role in reducing energy consumption in terms of connecting energy-efficient networked equipments for a variety of applications, computing frameworks, and communication environments. The goal of this Special Section is to explore the research and development of green technologies for wireless communications and mobile computing.
