Abstract(in English) The sustainability challenges that we are facing on a global level require unprecedented multi-agent, multi-frontal actions to save the planet. On the technological front, these challenges are being met by engineers and scientists in various fields. In this context, wireless communications are already being integrated as part of the technological solutions to empower sustainable development in various economic sectors, e.g., smart cities, smart agriculture, etc., by leading the development of smart, connected technologies. However, as wireless technologies proliferate and their global footprint grows, so will their own impact on sustainability. It is therefore important that sustainability considerations be central to the design, deployment and operation of next-generation wireless networks. Currently, energy efficiency is considered to be quasi-synonymous with sustainability in the wireless community. Therefore, this talk starts by discussing current trends and recent progress in wireless networks’ energy efficiency improvement techniques and highlighting outstanding challenges, such as the incorporation of long-term efficiency measures. However, as important as energy efficiency is, it represents only one facet of the overall sustainability of a wireless system or network. For a more comprehensive approach to sustainability, one must also consider critical resources native to wireless systems, namely, spectrum and materials. In the second part of the talk, a framework where sustainability is central to the process of designing next-generation wireless technologies and networks is presented and discussed. This framework provides a holistic approach that considers spectrum, energy and materials in assessing the sustainability through the establishment and use of aggregate sustainability metrics that incorporate all three of these resources.
