Energy consumption of communication networks is an important contributor to the ICT sector's greenhouse gas emission footprint. This research project focuses on power consumption reduction of communication networks by dynamically adapting network configuration to traffic demands. This is promising as networks are often under utilised over long periods. In the context of this work, dynamic topologies...
The benefit of migrating from static to dynamic WDM networks is evaluated, for the first time, in terms of energy consumption. Results show a clear benefit of dynamic operation for traffic loads < 0.5.
Wireless sensor networks may support heterogeneous applications ranging from classical environmental monitoring, to more demanding integrated surveillance systems based on multimedia traffic. To this extent, we argue that the specific MAC layer solutions must be flexible enough to provide differentiated services based on the context of the specific WSN. In this work, we leverage the SPARE MAC protocol...
To enhance the energy efficiency of broadband wireless access devices based on battery power, a traffic-aware based adaptive sleep mode operation was proposed for IEEE 802.16e power saving mechanism. By analyzing the behaviors of a mobile station working in the sleep mode operation with a Markov chain model, we explore the relationship among traffic, energy consumption and delay. Based on the analytical...
To enhance power efficiency of battery powered wireless access devices, the behaviors of the mobile stations (MS) working in the sleep mode operation in IEEE 802.16e was researched with a method of the Markov chain model. By exploring the relationship among traffic load, power consumption and delay, we present a cross-layer design-based algorithm to tune the initial sleep window according to the randomization...
U-APSD is the power save procedure defined in IEEE802.11e to improve the QoS performance of multimedia applications. U-APSD is specially suited for bi-directional traffic streams. But in some scenario without synchronized uplink and downlink traffic, defects in U-APSD procedure will result in some problems. In order to address this issue, this paper develops a low power implementation scheme of U-APSD...
In this paper, we propose a dynamic traffic load-aware sleep mode operation to improve the power efficiency of battery powered IEEE 802.16e devices. By analyzing the sleep mode operation with a Markov chain model, we explore the relationship among traffic load, power consumption and idle check time. Based on the analytical results, we propose a dynamic algorithm to tune the idle check time according...
Sleep mode is a key feature introduced in IEEE 802.16e standard, which ensures power-efficient operation of battery operated mobile devices. The 802.16e standard does not define when to take decision to trigger sleep mode. However to the best of our knowledge some published works define waiting time threshold as a time for which mobile subscriber station (MSS) waits before entering into sleep mode,...
