Improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon footprint and self-sustainability are key concerns in the design and development of future green communication networks. Therefore, in this paper, a novel energy efficient cellular access network architecture based on the principle of ecological proto-cooperation is proposed. Furthermore, for the first time, the wake-up technology is introduced to cellular...
The rapidly increasing contribution towards global warming from the information communication technology (ICT) sector is a clear indication of the need for energy efficient green communication networks. For instance, in the case of cellular networks, over 80% of the total energy is consumed at the access network. On the other hand, incorporating self-sustainability and autonomy in its operation, control,...
With the provisioning of interworked heterogeneous wireless networks and the growing popularity of smart mobile devices, ubiquitous service and data access is showing a demanding growth. As a result, scenarios of group mobility evolved with the increasing trend where a number of commuters on a transportation carriage would access such services. Making this scenario further complex, there was also...
In this paper, inspirations from behavioral ecology are applied for mobile agent assisted data collection in a Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). With the help of the marginal value theorem based strategy (MVTS), each observation (Λ), which is gathered by a given sensor node, is considered as a marginal information source with a relative entropy H(Λ). The mobile agent exploits the correlation and chooses...
In Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), packets are frequently lost or excessively delayed due to the failure of links and nodes, or the existence of bottlenecks along their routing paths. This often causes an outage or performance degradation for the clients. A mesh fashion topology of WMNs enables the capability to relieve this issue by using multi-path routing as a possible solution. Therefore, we propose...
One of the most important problems studied in data harvesting wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is the optimization of the tradeoff between the accuracy of the reconstructed field data and the resource consumption. In order to optimize the resource consumption, whilst not compromising the accuracy of the reconstructed field data, an ecologically inspired marginal value theorem strategy (MVTS) is proposed...
The demand for anytime, anywhere, anyhow communications in future generation networks necessitates a paradigm shift from independent network services into a more harmonized system. This vision can be accomplished by integrating the existing and emerging access networks via a common Internet Protocol (IP) based platform. Nevertheless, owing to the inter-worked infrastructure, a malicious security threat...
