The energy consumption of data centers has been increasing continuously during the last years due to the rising demands of computational power especially in current Grid- and Cloud Computing systems, which directly influence the increment in operational costs as well as carbon dioxide (CO2) emission. To reduce energy consumption within the cloud data center, it required energy-aware virtual machines...
In this paper, we present an analytical framework to improve the energy consumption of mobile nodes through traffic offloading via wireless local area networks (WLANs), taking into account the energy consumption for both data transmission and network discovery operations. More specifically, we formulate an optimization problem, according to which the network scanning period is optimized to minimize...
The aim of this paper is to improve the energy efficiency during network discovery in heterogeneous networking environments. To this end, we propose a novel network discovery algorithm that exploits both user and network context information in order to efficiently adapt the network scanning period, thus avoiding unnecessary energy-consuming scanning or mis-detection of available networks that can...
