The networking research community has started looking into key questions on energy efficiency of communication networks. The European Commission activated under the FP7 …
We consider the power-efficient design of an Internet protocol (IP)-over-wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network, tackling the problem of installing optical and IP layer …
With one third of the world population online in 2013 and an international Internet bandwidth multiplied by more than eight since 2006, the ICT sector is a non-negligible contributor of …
The ICT (Information and Communication Technology) sector has recently been identified as a growing contributor to worldwide greenhouse gases emissions and power consumption …
With the exponential growth of traffic driven by video and Internet services, WDM systems evolve regularly to increase optical fiber capacity. To meet the relentless need for capacity …
The constant need to improve network capacity and reduce power consumption in current fixed‐grid WDM networks motivates researchers to find alternative solutions other than …
Electricity cost constitutes a significant fraction of the total operations costs in a cellular network. We present Low-Carb, a practical scheme which reduces the power consumption …
We propose a multi-layer energy saving technique for optical core networks that aims at reducing energy consumption by powering off components in different layers of the network …
In the IP-over-WDM networks, there are the mainly following four reasons for high energy consumption. Firstly, and most importantly, cooling of the IT equipment takes huge chunk …
