Energy Efficiency in Backbone Networks

Energy-Efficiency in a Cloud Computing Backbone

Cloud computing combines the advantages of several computing paradigms and introduces ubiquity in the provisioning of services such as software, platform and infrastructure. Data centers, as the main hosts of cloud computing services, accommodate thousands of high performance servers and high capacity storage units. Offloading the local resources increases the energy consumption of the transpor...

Renewable Energy Prediction for Improved Utilization and Efficiency in Datacenters and Backbone Networks

Datacenters are one of the important global energy consumers and carbon producers. However, their tight service level requirements prevent easy integration with highly variable renewable energy sources. Short-term green energy prediction can mitigate this variability. In this work, we first explore the existing short-term solar and wind energy prediction methods, and then leverage prediction to...

Simulation Of Energy-Aware Backbone Networks

An optimization of the energy consumption in network systems has been recently an important research issue. The main challenge is to design, develop and test novel technologies, integrated control strategies and mechanisms for network equipment enabling energy saving by adapting network capacities and resources to current traffic loads and user requirements, while ensuring end-toend Quality of ...

Construction of higher spectral efficiency virtual backbone in wireless networks

One promising solution to improve the efficiency of wireless networks is to control the number of nodes involved in multi-hop routing by employing virtual backbone. On the one hand, a virtual backbone becomes more efficient as its size is getting smaller. However, as the size of a virtual backbone is getting smaller, the throughput of the virtual backbone is degraded since the length of a routi...
