Femtocell provisioning is emerging as a key technology to improve coverage and network capacity in indoor environments. When femtocells use different frequency bands than macrocells (i.e., split-spectrum approach), femto-to-femto interference remains the major issue. In particular, congestion cases in which femtocell demands exceed the available resources pose an important challenge. In this paper,...
Vast majority of the services running on the smart phone today are networked in that significant amount of communication is required. Smart phone energy expenditure due to Wi-Fi communications constitutes significant portion of the battery discharge. In this paper, we first investigate the key factors influencing Wi-Fi energy consumption, and propose three energy management schemes: 1) Dynamic control...
Due to the increasing of energy consumption in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), green computing has recently drawn a lot of attention. However, the application of green networking to Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) has seldom been reported in the literature. In this paper, we propose a new framework for energy management in TDMA-based WMNs to support energy efficient communications. Our...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are primarily viewed as access networks, with traffic flowing in and out of the mesh via gateways. However, in many scenarios, point-to-point (P2P) traffic within the WMN is also important, with the approach used to handle this traffic affecting the performance of not only the P2P flows, but all other traffic as well. This work studies the handling of P2P traffic in the...
Recently, operators have resorted to femtocell networks in order to enhance indoor coverage and quality of service since macro-antennas fail to reach these objectives. Nevertheless, they are confronted to many challenges to make a success of femtocells deployment. In this paper, we address the issue of resources allocation in femtocell networks using OFDMA technology (e.g., WiMAX, LTE). Specifically,...
