| 报告简介：The "Internet of Things" (IoT), which interconnects cyber-physical systems and smart devices to the Internet to enable many new services and applications such as smart grids, intelligent transportation, e-health, smart homes, smart factories, smart cities, …, are becoming an important part of the global telecommunications infrastructure. Several of these applications will support the global efforts towards a greener society by reducing energy consumption, shortening travel times, etc. In many applications, IoT will employ embedded radios and wireless machine-to-machine communications to enable ubiquitous connectivity anywhere any time. Many smart devices with embedded radios are battery operated, and in many situations battery replacement may be awkward if not impossible. Regardless of the power source, with deployment of billions of devices anticipated, global power consumption of IoT may become considerable. Therefore in the continued development of IoT, it is inevitable that energy efficiency becomes an important part of the research agenda towards “green IoT”. In this presentation, we shall give an overview of IoT and examine how IoT contributes to a greener society. We shall also highlight some of our recent research results on utilizing the powerful computation capacity of cloud computing to enable green IoT. Open problems and future research directions will be discussed. An introduction of the University of British Columbia, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, the Communications Group and the Laboratory for Wireless Networks and Mobile Systems will also be given.
