Due to the in-network caching capability, Content-Centric Networking (CCN) has emerged as one of the most promising architectures for the diffusion of contents over the Internet. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient distributed in-network caching scheme for CCN. In the proposed scheme, each content router only needs locally available information to make caching decisions considering both...
This paper presents a demonstrator of Low-Power Distributed Queuing (LPDQ), a MAC protocol targeted at active RFID systems operating at 433 MHz. LPDQ is based on a packet-based Preamble Sampling for network synchronization and Distributed Queuing for channel access. Compared to the MAC protocol defined in the ISO 18000-7 standard, based on an analog Preamble Sampling and Frame Slotted ALOHA, LPDQ...
To save energy, physical machines (servers) in cloud data centers are partitioned in different pools, depending on whether they are kept on at all times and/or whether they have virtual machines instantiated. Partitioning (pooling) of servers affects the power consumption of the data center but also the performance and responsiveness to user requests. In this paper we examine the behavior of pool...
In mobile cloud computing, mobile devices seek to minimize computation time and/or energy consumption based on task related or user defined constraints. In earlier work [1], we proposed to minimize the total energy consumption across all the mobile devices in a cyber foraging system using a scheduler that runs in a centralized broker node, in situations where a large number of mobile devices could...
In the smart grid system, dynamic pricing can be an efficient tool for the service provider which enables efficient and automated management of the grid. However, in practice, the lack of information about the customers' time-varying load demand and energy consumption patterns and the volatility of electricity price in the wholesale market make the implementation of dynamic pricing highly challenging...
The paper investigates the balance between Quality of Service (QoS) and power consumption for a traffic queue. Automatic adaptation to the power of the packet processing engine is sought through a heuristics and an optimal control strategy. The study allows to track the behavior of the system over time, thus avoiding the optimization of the steady state behavior of the system, which is hardly applicable...
Interference management is an important subject in Device to Device (D2D) communication when underlying a LTE-A cellular band. By default, in LTE-A there is negligible intra-cell interference due to the orthogonality of the subcarriers but this orthogonality will be lost when D2D communication takes place under cellular users (CU). Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to propose a novel scenario...
As a key enabler of Internet of things, cellular network based Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications have been growing rapidly in recent years, being used in a wide range of services such as security, metering, health, remote control, tracking, and so on. A critical issue in M2M communications is the energy efficiency as typically the machine devices are powered by batteries of low capacity and...
In order to fully exploit the high speed broadband multimedia services, prolonging the battery life of user equipment (UE) is critical from user's perspective, especially for the smartphone users. A collaborative mobile cloud (CMC), which consists of several UEs offers one potential solution for reducing the energy consumption at the terminal side. In this paper, an OFDMA mobile cloud system with...
