Session Title:
Heterogeneous Networks Synergies for Smart Environments

Special Issue at IndiaCom 2015 (http://www.bvicam.ac.in/indiacom/)

Scope
------

The path towards communication ubiquity started years ago with the aim of offering to the users, different services anytime and anywhere. This is becoming true only because wireless and mobile communications have had a remarkable evolution, as has the miniaturization of mobile terminals, while keeping high performance and security. Having all these devices and networks energized all the time is posing a serious problem to the sustainable development.

The aim of this special session is to bring together researchers from different areas to show how the synergies between heterogeneous networks would help in a better global energy consumption as intelligent system decision would orchestrate the parts of the network that should remain active while other parts of the network should be standby. Clearly the key for sustainable development in wireless and mobile communication is mastering the techniques that will maximize the positive synergies between all the overlapping technologies.

------

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to the following topics:

- Heterogeneous technologies integration
- Energy planning in heterogeneous networks
