Energy efficiency in multi-hop cooperative power line communication (PLC) systems has recently received considerable attention in the literature. In order to make such systems more energy-efficient, this paper proposes a relaying technique equipped with energy-harvesting capabilities. More specifically, we consider a dual-hop decode-and-forward (DF) broadband PLC relaying system in which the re...

Energy constrained in wireless sensor networks attained many research attention in recent years and energy efficient routing protocols for communication in environments help to minimize the energy consumption. Energy efficient routing algorithm based on game theory for wireless sensor networks and the performances are analyzed in terms of energy consumption. The main concept of Game theory are ...

—Energy-efficient communications as one of the promising technologies for 5G wireless communication systems have gained great attention. This paper investigates the energy aware resource allocation problem for the cognitive cellular network under the smart grid environment. Considering the Real-Time Pricing (RTP) model and the energy consumption model of the small cell base station, a net bit ...

The proliferation of wireless networks based on IEEE 802.11 has resulted in a heterogenous set of devices using a variety of applications to compete for the desired service performance. Most notably, the class of highly mobile and energy constrained devices is showing high growth rates. Yet, fairness of resource allocation is still only considered in terms of achievable throughput and without c...

Most of the existed works on the radio resource allocation (RRA) problem commonly assume the channel-state information (CSI) can be perfectly obtained by the transmission source. However, such assumption is not practical in the realistic wireless systems. In this work, we consider the practical implementation issues of resource allocation in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)...

This paper examines economic resource allocation through a number of auction types for a grid of ewaste computers. It examines the time to complete tasks and the energy usage of completing the tasks on a grid. A model of a simulated grid is developed and used to evaluate the resource allocation mechanisms. The model is an agent-based simulation where by user agents submit tasks to node agents t...

Achieving a sustainable level of energy production and consumption is one of the major challenges in our nowadays society. This paper contributes to the objective of increasing energy efficiency by introducing a market mechanism that facilitates the efficient matching of energy (i.e. electricity and heat) demand and supply in Micro Energy Grids. More precisely we propose a combinatorial double ...
