Topic: 

  The Path Toward Sustainable 6G: From Energy-Efficient Protocol Design to Carbon-Aware Networking

 

Abstract: 

  As mobile networks transition toward 6G, the focus is shifting from localized power-saving features to a holistic, sustainable system design. We explore protocol-level optimizations for "Green 6G," beginning with an analysis of current 3GPP energy efficiency standards. We will discuss specific research contributions, including an intelligent beam-based paging framework to reduce signaling overhead in mmWave systems and the integrated modeling of DRX and BWP switching to optimize power-latency tradeoffs. Additionally, we evaluate how these designs impact modern performance metrics such as Age of Information (AoI) and Quality of Experience (QoE). The vision for 6G Network Sustainability is to shift the paradigm from bits-per-joule to a carbon-aware networking architecture

 

Autobiography: 

  Kuang-Hsun Lin (Member, IEEE) is an Assistant Professor in the Institute of Communications Engineering (ICE), National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU). He received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University (NTU) in 2015 and his Ph.D. in Communication Engineering from the Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering (GICE), NTU, in 2022. Prior to joining NYCU, he served at the NSTC 6G Program Office, where he gained extensive experience in national strategic technology planning and 3GPP standardization. His research interests focus on Green 6G mobile networks, specifically in energy-efficient MAC protocol design (DRX/BWP optimization), Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), and mobility management. His current research aim is to bridge the gap between architectural sustainability and network performance, transforming the concept of Network Sustainability into manageable KPIs for future 6G standards.
