The project\u2019s concept was conceived as a result of work on low-power communications systems and on wireless localization, and grew\nout of the realization that despite the efforts to save power in such distributed wireless systems, the vast majority\nof wireless data traffic originates and\/or ends are cellular devices, which in turn have an enormous energy\nconsumption and carbon footprint. A powerful consortium was then put together around that idea, with partners\nincluding Ericson, Alcatel-Lucent, DoCoMo, Telecom Italia, NXP, CEA-Leti, University of Surrey, TU Dresden,\nIntituto Superior T\u00e9cnico de Lisboa and of course the University of Oulu. The project focused on and sought\nto address the problem \u2013 until then largely neglected \u2013 of reducing the energy consumption and carbon footprint\nof wireless technologies. As part of its work, the project identified that the most important factor in the energy\nconsumption and carbon footprint of cellular systems is in fact the cooling systems required to maintain equipment\nat operational temperature. This led to tremendous work done in reducing the complexity of various blocks such\nas multiuser receiver algorithms, scheduling protocols and RF-chain components.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-accent-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-594587f7 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide has-text-align-left\">EU FP7 Project &#8211; EUWB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-accent-3-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-908ab1cf6ec02cfd51403944f320e52a\"><strong>2009-2011<br><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:85%\">\n<p><em>\u201c<\/em> Coexisting Short Range Radio by Advanced Ultra-Wideband Radio Technology<em>\u201d<\/em><br>Role: Concept Co-Creator and Workpackage Leader<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:85%\">\n<p align=\"justify\">This project has a history on the preceding FP6 Projects PULSERS I and II (see below).
