5G is arguably the most energy-hungry mobile technology yet, with a scalability close to the limit of what the planet and society can environmentally and practically afford. There is already plenty of research towards sustainable and zero-energy end-devices, but huge gains in the energy efficiency and sustainability of the power-hungry network infrastructure behind them are still to be achieved. SAMBAS' project vision represents a holistic approach in driving a significantly more sustainable B5G/6G wireless communications network, where joint considerations of radical innovations at radio, network, and service levels will lead to critically reduced power needs. SAMBAS contributes towards this goal by developing an innovative sustainable millimetre wave (mmWave) micro base station that makes effective use of renewable energy harvesting in combination with extremely energy-efficient hardware, and communications protocols to reduce power consumption >99%. At the networking level, we aim to reduce signalling overhead and energy requirements by an order of magnitude through distributed in-band context dissemination and energy-aware networking. Finally, through joint energy-aware network and cloud resource optimization, a sustainable end-to-end mmWave-based system will be developed. We target B5G performance in terms of latency, ultra-high capacity data rates (>44 Gb/s), reliability, and range, while targeting a 99% reduction in the reliance on non-renewable energy sources. An integrated prototype will be validated via a multi-user indoor interactive virtual reality application, and an outdoors vehicular communications application.

5G可以说是迄今为止最耗能的移动的技术，其可扩展性接近地球和社会在环境和实际上所能承受的极限。目前已经有大量针对可持续和零能耗终端设备的研究，但其背后耗电网络基础设施的能源效率和可持续性方面的巨大收益仍有待实现。SAMBAS的项目愿景代表了一种全面的方法，以推动一个可持续性更高的B5 G/6 G无线通信网络，在无线电，网络和服务水平的根本性创新的联合考虑将导致大幅降低电力需求。SAMBAS通过开发创新的可持续毫米波（mmWave）微型基站来实现这一目标，该基站有效利用可再生能源收集，结合极高能效的硬件和通信协议，可将功耗降低99%以上。在网络层面，我们的目标是减少信令开销和能源需求的数量级，通过分布式带内上下文传播和能源感知网络。最后，通过联合能量感知网络和云资源优化，开发可持续的端到端mmWave系统。我们的目标是在延迟、超高容量数据速率（>44 Gb/s）、可靠性和范围方面实现B5 G性能，同时将对不可再生能源的依赖减少99%。一个集成的原型将通过多用户室内交互式虚拟现实应用程序和室外车辆通信应用程序进行验证。
