A Rendezvous Mobile Broker for Pub/Sub Networks
Abstract
On the current Internet, Publish/Subscribe (Pub/Sub) systems are gaining popularity as efficient, simple, and scalable communication mechanisms. Mobile Pub/Sub systems are the next step for distributed Pub/Sub networks. On the other hand, the constrained characteristics of mobile nodes can limit the subscription expressiveness of the content consumers, and the overlaying applications and services. This paper describes a mobile broker model, that we call Rendezvous Mobile Broker, for integrating mobile nodes as fully-functional brokers. RMBs can delegate Pub/Sub tasks to other brokers and extend the subscription expressiveness in runtime; so, this delegation improves the mobile Pub/Sub systems’ suitability for scenarios with multiple content types.. This paper also describes a subscription allocation algorithm for extending the amount of subscriptions the mobile broker supports, in the form of topic-based subscriptions. Finally, we describe a proof of concept and validate the algorithms using real devices.

Router Power Consumption Analysis: Towards Green Communications
Abstract
In recent years, the number of network devices which are being used in new network infrastructure and intelligent buildings, are growing more and more. Because these devices can often have high processing activity, we must consider their power consumption. Their energy requirements may vary depending on their operation mode, their processing capacity and even the type of devices to which are connected. The ability to determine exact consumption of network can provide an optimal network design and the other auxiliary systems, such as cool system, which may be necessary for the proper operation of the network. In this paper we determine the power consumption generated by network devices of different manufacturers and models. These tests allow us to see the energy consumed when they are in await mode and when they are working, running a routing protocol in order to interconnect different networks, promoting the development of the sustainable Green Networks.

RDAP: Requested Data Accessibility Protocol in Vehicular Sensor Networks
Abstract
Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) are an emerging paradigm in vehicular networks. This new technology uses different kind of sensing devices available in new vehicles, to gather information in order to provide safer, efficient and comfort for roads users. One of the VSNs challenges is how to deal with dynamic data collection. This paper proposes a new multi-hop data collection and dissemination scheme based on data replication on VSNs in an urban scenario. The aim of our proposal scheme is to achieve a high accessibility to requested data while maintaining a low level of channel utilization. The simulation results show that this protocol can achieve significant performance benefits.

An Adaptive Cross-Layer Approach for Energy-Efficient and QoS-Constrained Multimedia Transmission over Wireless Channels
Abstract
The main goal of research and industrial work in wireless telecommunications has been to maximize performance or reduce energy consumption to lengthen the battery life of mobile devices. The challenge in the next future is to make green telecommunications networks, and specifically wireless devices that present the highest energy consumption coefficient per bit transmitted among all the networking devices. However, making a network device green can cause performance deterioration. The target of this paper is to propose a cross-layer approach for the transmission of multiplexed rate-controlled multimedia streams over wireless channels. The proposed approach is adaptive in both the video sources and the wireless transmitter. To this purpose this paper proposes an Energy-efficient ARQ protocol with five possible transmission laws, in order to exploit the correlation of the wireless channel behavior. In addition, in order to compensate transmission bandwidth reduction due to the energy saving policies, a source Rate Controller is introduced. Finally, using an analytical model of the system, the transmission laws are compared, and some guidelines are provided to choose one of them and design its parameters.

Evaluation of Voltage Stabilization on a SmartGrid Simulation System for Introduction of EV
Abstract
Recently, attention has been focused on whether the SmartGrid could work efficiently in an energy network. The subject of our study is the electric vehicle (EV), which has been proposed as a potential chargeable/dischargeable part of the power grid infrastructure. As energy is transferred between an EV and the power grid, it is possible to regulate energy on the entire grid via charging and discharging the EV battery. In the future, it may also be possible to stabilize energy within the system, using information technology control embedded in the network of the SmartGrid. Compared with a case in which energy storage is fixed, more complex control is needed when EV technology is used. This study evaluates these circumstances using a simulated system.

Capacity Planning for Enterprise Green Communications
Abstract
Nowadays, the volume of data transferred in an enterprise information network has raised inexorably high, thereby consuming more power and releasing more carbon-di-oxide into the atmosphere. Typical enterprise networks with fiber-optic medium for transferring data at the backbone are forced to limit the increase in backbone traffic to offer a speedy, energy efficient and environment friendly communications. We have proposed a capacity planning scheme based on molecular assembly (MA) to convert a single clustered network into a multi-clustered network, thereby reducing the backbone traffic and managing CO2 emission. The capacity planning scheme starts by discovering the distance forces existing among the nodes; moreover, it integrates the highly associated nodes together into various clusters. The repeated discovery process and the optimized assembly process form a set of optimized clusters with reduced backbone traffic, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. Our experimental results within MA for a non-clustered enterprise network of 60 nodes, quantifying backbone traffic and CO2 emission with oil fuel as the source of electricity generation shows that the proposed MA algorithm manages to reduce the backbone traffic by 42%, and thereby reducing the amount of CO2 emission by 2.5 tons in a year of operation.

Energy Consumption of Wireless Network Access Points
Abstract
The development of low cost technology based on IEEE 802.11 standard permits to build telecommunication networks at low cost, allowing providing Internet access in rural areas in developing countries. The lack of access to the electrical grid is a problem when the network is being developed in rural areas, so that wireless access points should operate using solar panels and batteries. Many cases can be found where the energy consumption becomes a key point in wireless network design. In this paper we present a comparative study of the energy consumption of several wireless network access points. We will compare the energy consumption of different brands and models, for several operation scenarios and operating modes. Obtained results allow us to achieve the objective of this article, that is, promote the development of wireless communication networks energetically efficient.

Astroparticle Physics and Green Communication and Networking: A Symbiosis
Abstract
In this paper, the links between astroparticle physics and green communication and networking are described. Due to the advanced scientific and technological frame and the need of green networking that the astroparticle facilities and experiments have, good synergies between both fields can appear. Examples of these synergies of using green networking and communication technologies in deep-sea neutrino telescopes (such as the data acquisition and communication systems of ANTARES, and the KM3NeT acoustic positioning and monitoring system) are also presented.

Exploiting SCTP Multistreaming to Reduce Energy Consumption of Multiple TCP Flows over a WLAN
Abstract
The energy efficiency of a wireless client is an important issue for wireless network environments. A common strategy for energy saving in wireless network devices is to remain in sleep mode when data are not being transmitted or received. However, when multiple TCP flows are established from a wireless client, determination and control of sleep timings are difficult. In addition, frequent state transitions between active and sleep modes consume energy, resulting in a reduction in energy efficiency. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient method for multiple TCP flows in wireless LAN (WLAN) environments. The proposed method is termed SCTP tunneling, and aggregates multiple TCP flows into a single SCTP association between a wireless client and access point to control packet transmission and reception timings. Furthermore, SCTP tunneling lengthens sleep time by transmitting and receiving multiple packets in a bursty fashion. In this study, we construct a mathematical model of the energy consumed by SCTP tunneling to assess its energy efficiency. Through numerical examples, we show that the proposed method can reduce energy consumption by up to 69%.

A Metropolitan-Scale Testbed for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks to Support CO2 Reduction
Abstract
There exist two major contributions of network technology to reduce CO2 levels: reducing the energy consumption of the network itself, and supporting areas of application to reduce CO2 levels. The impact of the latter is potentially higher. Therefore, we present TUDμNet, a testbed for a metropolitan-scale heterogeneous sensor network with hundreds of nodes that help monitor and control CO2 levels in urban areas. Our testbed has four major application domains where it is being applied: TU Darmstadt’s award winning solar house, where temperature and CO2 levels are monitored; an 80 year old building in which a WSN is deployed to measure ambient parameters that contribute to future energy-saving remodeling; mobile sensors mounted on the streetcars of the public tramway system to measure location-specific CO2 levels that are collected in a publicly accessible database to obtain CO2 profiles; and a hybrid sensor network in TUD’s botanical garden to measure humidity, CO2 levels and soil properties to improve the management of urban parks. In this paper we present the concepts behind the design of our testbed, its design challenges and our solutions, and potential applications of such metropolitan-scale sensor networks.
