Mobile computation offloading has been identified as a key enabling technology to overcome the inherent processing power and storage constraints of mobile end devices. To satisfy the low-latency requirements of content-rich mobile applications, existing mobile cloud computing solutions allow mobile devices to access the required resources by accessing a nearby resource-rich cloudlet, suffering increased...
Power saving for mobile stations (MSs) is one of the most critical issues in IEEE 802.16j relay networks. To reduce power consumption of MSs, IEEE 802.16j borrows the sleep mode of 802.16e, but new parameters are introduced. Up to now, no previous work has addressed the sleep scheduling problem in IEEE 802.16j networks. Therefore, this paper proposes an energy-efficient, standard-compliant sleep scheduling...
In this paper we design an incentive mechanism for heterogeneous Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). The proposed mechanism tackles a core problem of such systems: how to induce coordination of DTN relays in order to achieve a target performance figure, e.g., delivery probability or end-to-end delay, under a given constraint in term of network resources, e.g., number of active nodes or energy consumption...
Mobile sink has been widely used in wireless sensor networks to balance energy consumption among sensor nodes and to prolong the network lifetime. But, as mobile sink moves, sensor nodes have to change their routes to mobile sink frequently, which results in a lot of energy consumption and also a very large transmission delay accordingly. Although using a static sink may lead to shorter network lifetime,...
An energy-efficient grid based geographic routing scheme for wireless ad hoc networks is presented in this paper. The proposal presented here does not rely on location information. The dependency on global location information limits location aided flooding's usefulness. In addition, geographic proximity does not always lead to network connectivity. The traditional location aided flooding make very...
In this paper, we define a new problem that has not been addressed in the past: the trade-off between energy efficiency and throughput for multicast services in 802.16e or similar mobile networks. In such networks, the mobile host can reduce its energy consumption by entering the sleep mode when it is not supposed to receive or transmit information. For unicast applications, the tradeoff between delay...
Sink mobility has become an increasingly important requirement of various sensor network applications. Handling such mobile sink conditions brings new challenges to large-scale sensor networking. This investigation proposed a hybrid-structure routing protocol (HSRP) that combines the benefits of grid-based and cluster-based structures. Grid-based structure is designed to solve the cluster head selection...
