Leveraging multi-path transmission in an energy-efficient manner is of great importance for mobile devices in heterogeneous wireless networks. Recently, Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP) has been introduced as a potential solution that could leverage this path diversity, but making it energy efficient not only depends on the end-user's observed interface capacity but also on the other competitors' decision....
Multilayer Clustered Designing Algorithm is exploited to present MCDA - Hot Spot algorithm; a technique to increase the network throughput by alleviating the impact of hotspot issue on network lifetime. The network nodes in the hot spot region are in a flat layer form in contrast to rest of the network nodes that are grouped into clusters. This design substantially helps in achieving goal above. This...
An important challenge of modern data centres running Hadoop workloads is to minimise energy consumption, a significant proportion of which is due to the network. Significant network savings are already possible using Energy Efficient Ethernet, supported by a large number of NICs and switches, but recent work has demonstrated that the packet coalescing settings must be carefully configured to avoid...
In this paper, we consider a time-slotted energy harvesting (EH) cognitive radio (CR) network, where the secondary user (SU) is powered by a continual source of energy harvested from ambient environment. Jointly considering the primary user activity on the primary channel, diversity of channel conditions, energy replenishment process as well as the imperfection of spectrum sensing, the SU aims to...
In a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), there are a large number of nodes whose power supply and computational capability are limited. The nodes in a wireless sensor network can be fixed or move randomly. Thus in these networks, to forward a data packet from one node to another needs to use specific strategies with very different characteristics. Accordingly the data forwarding strategy among nodes plays...
To improve the performances of wireless sensor network (WSN) and its lifetime, the management of power consumption and the energy harvesting is crucial. In this paper, we propose an energy-harvested management mechanism (EH2M) for WSN, in order to minimize the duty-cycle on the basis of the present amount remaining energy. With EH2M, each sensor node can adjust its duty-cycle dynamically by computing...
Taking advantage of both edge cache (EC) and coordinated processing, cache-enabled cloud radio access networks (C-RANs) have shown good potential to become a solution for future wireless networks. With the demand that the network needs to be fast, green and affordable, it has become an issue both practical and challenging to design a resource allocation strategy that leads to a proper balance among...
Ultra-deep sub-micron technology is shifting the design paradigm from area optimization to power optimization. In the context of Network-on-Chip (NoC) based design, energy consumption due to data transfer among network nodes is no longer negligible. Starting from the observation that, among the two brain hemispheres around 1 out of 106 synapses are active at the same time, in this paper we propose...
LTE-M, which is an abbreviated version of LTE-MTC(Machine Type Communication) can be said to have a variety of applications, including a large number of heterogeneous interconnection of large-scale network equipment. One of the most prominent problems is that the machines may have a large amount of access requests in a short time, which can easily lead to network congestion. At present, the contention-based...
In this paper, cognitive machine to machine (CM2M) gateway in e-healthcare systems are presented by accessing several channels via periodic sensing and spectrum handoff. An optimal energy efficient spectrum management mechanism with multiple thresholds is proposed. The developed mechanism aims to reduce energy consumption in the system by optimizing the spectrum sensing and channel switching, while...
Energy is a scarce resource in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Network coding (NC) has been proposed recently as a means to reduce the number of transmissions and energy consumption. In this paper, we introduce energy consumption control into network coding to further enhance its performance. We propose a Sliding Window Network Coding for Energy Efficient in MANETs (SWNC-EE). The performance of the...
Energy efficient routing and increasing throughput is a challenging task in fully connected wireless ad hoc networks. In this research adaptive energy strategy using snooze / snoop duty cycle technique is employed in order to reduce the energy consumption of nodes that are present in the network. The MAC modification is carried out with the help of the channel state metric. AOMDV routing strategy...
One important aspect that needs to be carefully considered in maritime operations using unmanned robotic vehicles is the communication restrictions between the vehicles and the mission controller that arises mainly due to long distances and/or low power transmissions. This paper addresses the problem of maintaining a communication link between a command station and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)...
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) enables transmission via multiple routes for an end-to-end connection to improve resource usage of regular TCP. Due to the increasing concern in green computing, there has been significant interest in designing energy-efficient multipath transport. For existing MPTCP congestion control algorithms, the research community still lacks a comprehensive understanding of which components...
Nearly 50% of the energy overhead in today's datacenters comes from host-to-host data transfers, which largely depend on the transport layer performance. Multipath TCP (MPTCP) has recently been suggested as a promising transport protocol to improve datacenter network throughput, yet it also increases the host CPU power consumption. It remains unclear whether datacenters can indeed benefit from using...
The vast amount of the machine type communication devices (MTCDs) in machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and their limited energy budget are the crucial challenges to transmission scheme design. This paper proposes an energy-efficient power control and time scheduling scheme in M2M communications with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and energy harvesting. User equipment (UEs) are configured...
The underwater wireless remote sensors convey messages in a range, where there is no possible human intervention. It is difficult to replace the battery in order to sustain energy in an acoustic environment. Moreover, considering the environment, solar energy cannot be used to recharge for batteries. These sensors are required to be awake for an extended period, taking in consideration that they have...
Directional Antennas (DAs) provide higher gain, and reduce interference by directing beams toward the desired receiver. In this paper, we propose a new joint optimization framework considering the energy consumption and throughput in DAs Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). We formulate the joint optimization problem as a Mixed Integer Linear Problem (MILP) using a weighted objective function of both the...
Greening information and communications technology is becoming an environmental and economic sine qua non, and has attracted much research attention. For a cellular network, base stations (BSs) incur more than 50% of the energy consumption of the whole network. Therefore, BSs can be powered by green energy to reduce its on-grid power consumption. Meanwhile, the throughput has always been a critical...
