Mobile devices are now capable of handling many daily computing tasks that used to be accomplished by desktops or servers. However, these improvements also introduce resource-hungry mobile applications that require richer resource-hungry computing features and more complex functions. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) addresses these limitations considering the nature of mobility; this innovative strategy...
Power models are crucial to assess the power consumption of base stations (BSs) without quantitive description. Currently available models seldom consider the dynamic factors such as indoor and outdoor temperature. As power model will affect the energy-saving gains of different green resolutions, in this paper we provide such power models for mobile communication BSs relying on practical data collected...
In this paper, we study the energy consumption in heterogeneous networks (HetNets). HetNets are known to be one of the main characteristics of the future 5G networks. In this work we aim to minimize the global energy consumed within these networks by adapting the network density to the operating traffic load. We formulate this problem by expressing the energy gain (i.e., the energy saved) which should...
In this paper, we propose an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) against Sinkhole attack in wireless sensor networks with mobile sink. In the detection model, the network area is divided into a flat grid of cells, and we use the signature-based technique, which is represented by the detection rate of a cell, to distinguish between real and fake sink nodes. The proposed IDS considers two types of sink...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely applied in various industrial applications, which involve collecting a massive amount of heterogeneous sensory data. However, most of the data-gathering strategies for WSNs cannot avoid the hotspot problem in local or whole deployment area. Hotspot problem affects the network connectivity and decreases the network lifetime. Hence, we propose a tree-cluster-based...
Web browsing on mobile devices is undoubtedly the future. However, with the increasing complexity of webpages, the mobile device's computation capability and energy consumption become major pitfalls for a satisfactory user experience. In this paper, we propose a mechanism to effectively leverage processor frequency scaling in order to balance the performance and energy consumption of mobile web browsing...
Many mobile applications such as games and social applications are emerging for mobile devices. These powerful applications consume more and more running time and energy. So they are badly confined by mobile device with limited resource. Since cloud infrastructure has great potential to benefit task execution, this paper presents SmartVirtCloud (SmartVC). A system can offload methods in applications...
Energy efficiency has become significantly important in designing future green mobile communication systems. In this paper, a novel energy efficiency metric, which is per energy per area capacity, is proposed to quantify the matching degree between energy consumption of Base Stations (BSs) and the traffic load. Based on BS power consumption model and Shannon capacity formula, the deployment strategies...
This paper proposes a distributed routing protocol for ad hoc sensor networks which uses fuzzy logic. Each sensor uses a fuzzy decision making process to find the best cluster head. Simulation shows that this protocol is able to dynamically adapt to sensorspsila mobility and failure. By a new load balancing method, it provides also stable clusters and so a cluster head have greater lifetime, which...
In this paper we propose a dynamic load distribution technique at the operating system level in mobile storage systems with a heterogeneous storage pair of a small form-factor hard disk and a flash memory, which aims at saving energy consumption as well as enhancing I/O performance. We demonstrate that the proposed technique provides better experimental results with heterogeneous mobile storage devices...
Energy consumption is of utmost importance in ad hoc wireless networks where battery-operated nodes have limited power resources. Energy consumption is also important in meshed WLAN networks such as emerging home entertainment networks and meshed WiMax metropolitan area networks. So far, it has been advocated that nodes have to operate at the lowest possible power level that keeps the network connected...
Sink mobility is one of the most comprehensive trends for information gathering in sensor networks. This way of information gathering has a prominent role in balancing the energy consumption among sensor networks, and culling the hotspots problem of sensor networks. In this paper, a well planned adaptive moving strategy for a mobile sink in large-scale, hierarchical sensor networks is presented. The...
