In the future connected societies, everyone and everything will be inter-connected, under the umbrella of the Internet of Things, where tens to hundreds of devices will be serving every single citizen. However, connecting this massive number of energy-constrained devices pose a serious challenge on the wireless networking paradigm; energy efficiency still represents a major challenge within the design...
This paper addresses a game-theoretic based distributed appliance scheduling approach for demand-side management in smart grid. The game is played by a utility company and its subscribed residential users. The company monitors electricity demand online, manipulates the price of electricity for different hours to shape users' consumption pattern, and advertises it through Smart Grid infrastructure...
Demand-side management is an effective means to optimize resource utilization in the electricity grid. The smart grid can enable the utility company to shape the users consumption by adopting appropriate pricing strategies. Having received the price information, each user may independently schedule its appliances to minimize its electricity payment. In this paper, we consider a smart grid scenario...
Packet forwarding is an essential service in a multihop cellular network (MCN), which relies on the cooperation of all participating mobile terminals (MTs). Although this service can effectively improve the energy efficiency of MTs by dividing a long radio link to several shorter hops, cooperation of MTs cannot be taken for granted as they are normally controlled by rational players who seek to maximize...
Multi-standard mobile terminals (MTs) allow mobile users to experience ubiquitous connectivity and better quality of service. However, these advances come at a price of higher power consumption for MTs due to holding multiple active interfaces. In this paper, we apply multihop relaying through pervasive short range interfaces (e.g., Bluetooth, WiMedia. etc.) in the presence of an infrastructure network...
Hybrid ad-hoc network (HANET) is a new and promising paradigm for decreasing the energy consumption of the mobile terminals (MTs) in a cellular network. In this network, the multi-hop functionality of ad-hoc networks is employed in an infrastructure-based network to relay the packets of MTs experiencing bad channel qualities through other MTs with better channel conditions to/from the gateway. However,...
Recent years have witnessed an explosive growth of wireless technologies and applications. The adoption of a wide range of multimedia applications on wireless devices has been made possible through the advances in wireless technologies. Only one aspect is not catching up, which is re-chargeable battery for mobile devices. Without disruptive new approaches for energy saving, mobile users will relentlessly...
Selective choice of cooperating nodes leads to decrease of error propagation while reducing power consumption at the same time. Our approach to the node selection problem consists in modeling the localization process as a cooperative game. From the localization accuracy point of view, observations may be highly correlated in space domain. In that sense, we propose a node selection scheme to avoid...
Recent years have witnessed an explosive growth of wireless technologies and applications. Without disruptive new approaches for energy saving, 4G mobile users will relentlessly be searching for power outlets rather than network access, and become once again bound to a single location. In this paper, we explore the cooperation among nodes in a cluster for the main goal of saving the battery power...
Multi-standard mobile devices are allowing users to experience higher data rates and ubiquitous connectivity. These advances are achieved on the expense of higher energy consumption due to the multiple active wireless interfaces. In this paper, we use one advantage of the multiple interfaces, namely short range communications. Mobile terminals (MTs) form short range cooperative network to take advantage...
