Energy-Efficient Protocol Design

2015

Recent studies have shown that the total energy consumed by the Internet has followed an increasing trend over the years. A considerable part of this energy is wasted due to an inefficient utilization of edge devices , that is, Personal Computers (PCs) and other user equipment in homes and offices. PCs are often left on even when they are not used (e.g., overnight or during weekends), while other edge devices, such as printers, IP phones, and displays, are typically kept always on , especially in public buildings. A number of solutions have been proposed for eliminating, or reducing, energy wastes caused by edge devices. In this chapter, we propose a general taxonomy for their classificatio…

A Metaheuristic Bandwidth Allocation Scheme for FiWi Networks Using Ant Colony Optimization

2015

Optical-wireless access networks constitute a quite attractive solution to meet the ever-increasing bandwidth requirements of end-users, offering significant benefits such as ubiquitous coverage in the wireless domain and huge bandwidth in the optical domain. However, converging optical and wireless networking technologies, with Passive Optical Networks (PONs) and 4G wireless standards, such as the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and the Long Term Evolution (LTE), entails major challenges that need to be addressed. In this context, designing an efficient and fair bandwidth distribution with Quality of Service (QoS) support is a difficult task due to the interdependen…
