Communication systems play an important role in achieving sustainability by allowing access to information when and where it is needed. For example, a manufacturing facility can accelerate its production when nearby wind farm is generating large amount of electricity, and reduces its production when there is a reduction of electricity generated. Similarly, flow of goods is monitored during transportation and storage, whereabouts of these can be updated instantly, this information can reduce the cost of storage and assist companies in achieving lean manufacturing. There are many such applications to communication systems, however, the cost of wireless networking, which includes cost of bandwidth, equipment, infrastructure and maintenance, is a hindrance for vast deployment of such networks. That's is why more research is needed to reduce the cost of wireless communication systems to achieve an economical cost for businesses and governments. Innovation in this research will allow real-time deployment of wireless sensor and ad hoc networks and will reduce the infrastructure cost of deployment with efficient network protocols and architectures.
