A Power Saving Scheme for Open Flow Network

A power-saving data storage scheme for wireless sensor networks

In wireless sensor network (WSN), sensors are small, inexpensive, and computable. However, they are limited in power, memory, and computational capacities. A large number of tiny sensors are usually deployed randomly to monitor one or more phenomena to collect and process the sensed data, and to send the data back to the sink. Many literatures focus on developing power-saving protocols. In addi...

HGAF: A Power Saving Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks

The sensor nodes of wireless sensor networks are placed in observation areas and transmit data to the observer by using multi-hop communication between nodes. Because these nodes are small and have a limited power supply, they must save power in order to prolong the network’s lifetime. We propose HGAF (Hierarchical Geographic Adaptive Fidelity) to give a layered structure to GAF (Geographic Ada...

A Suitable Coding Scheme for Broadband Power-line Communication

This paper introduces three coding strategies for using the Luby Transform (LT) code in a relay aided power-line communication scheme. In the first method, the relay decodes the received packets and re-encodes them for transmission towards the destination. In the second method, the relay only forwardes a random linear combination of its received packets towards the destination, while in the thi...

Runtime Power-Aware Energy-Saving Scheme for Parallel Applications

Energy consumption has become a major design constraint in modern computing systems. With the advent of peta ops architectures, power efficient software stacks have become imperative for scalability. Modern processors provide techniques, such as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), to improve energy efficiency on-the-fly. Without careful application, however, DVFS and throttling may ca...
