  2. Outline • The “Green” Concept • Green Communications • Alternative Energy Sources • Energy-Aware Routing • Simulation Results • Conclusion

  3. The “Green” Concept • UGP’s Definition*: • Green is the design, commercialization, and use of processes & products that are feasible & economical while: • Reducing the generation of pollution at the source.   • Minimizing the risk to human health & the environment. • The field of "green technology" encompasses a continuously evolving group of methods and materials, from techniques for generating energy to non-toxic cleaning products. * Urban Green Partnership (UGP), http://urbangreenpartnership.org

  4. The “Green” Concept Energy! Perhaps the most urgent issue for green technology, this includes the development of alternative fuels, new means of generating energy and energy efficiency. green-technology.org Images from: “Is ICT Green?” by Mario Pickavet, ICC 2009

  5. Green Communications • Total energy consumption for a network of 20,000 3G base stations is 58MW* (equivalent to a large wind farm) resulting in annual electricity costs of about $62 million. • A carbon footprint of about 11 tons of carbon dioxide for each cell site, each year. • Annual mobile network energy consumption of an estimated 61 billion kWh worldwide (circa 2007) * “Green issues challenge basestation power”, EETimes Europe, September 19, 2007

  6. Green Communications • The ICT industry is responsible for about 2% to 2.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). • This value is expected to double in the next decade. • Mobile telecommunications contribute by 9% * “Green issues challenge basestation power”, EETimes Europe, September 19, 2007

  7. Green Communications • Keywords: • Energy Efficiency • How to spend less energy per information? • How to minimize network energy consumption? • How to do this without sacrificing performance? • Alternative Energy Sources • Solar, Wind, Bio Fuels • Vibrations, Microbial fuel cells

  8. Alternative Energy Sources • Both large and small scale • Different energy models and performances.

  9. Alternative Energy Sources • How to intelligently schedule transmissions? • How to route packets for minimum energy as well as high performance? • How to utilize the limited energy?

  10. Energy-Aware Routing • Battery Model Battery Replenishment Transmission

  11. Energy-Aware Routing • Energy Efficient Clustering • [9] S. Bandyopadhyay and E. Coyle, "An Energy-Efficient Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks," in Proceedings of IEEE INFOCOM, April 2003. • Nodes randomly elect themselves as cluster heads based on their energy. • A packet moves up the hierarchy until a common clusterhead is found, which routes the packet down to its destination.

  12. Energy-Aware Routing • Energy Efficient Clustering

  13. Energy-Aware Routing • Power Aware DSAP • [3] A. Salhieh, J. Weinmann, M. Kochha, and L. Schwiebert. "Power Efficient Topologies for Wireless Sensor Networks," Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Parallel Processing 2001, pages 156-163, 2001. • Multi-hop routing where each node decides on the next hop using neighboring nodes’ positions and energy levels. • Requires battery and position information from all network nodes.

  14. Simulation Results • 100 nodes in a 100x100 space • A path loss exponent of 2 • 500 packets of random sources and sizes to a base or random destination • Performance criteria: number of packets lost

  15. Simulation Results Direct Transmission 100/500 packets lost Energy-Aware Clustering 58/500 packets lost • 500 packets to base station, Emax=2000 / Erep=20

  16. Simulation Results DSAP 56/500 packets lost Energy-Aware Clustering 58/500 packets lost • 500 packets to base station, Emax=2000 / Erep=20

  17. Simulation Results DSAP 56/500 packets lost Energy-Aware DSAP 3/500 packets lost • 500 packets to base station, Emax=2000 / Erep=20

  18. Simulation Results DSAP 17/500 packets lost Energy-Aware DSAP 0/500 packets lost • 500 packets to another node, Emax=2000 / Erep=20

  19. Simulation Results DSAP 112/500 packets lost Energy-Aware DSAP 16/500 packets lost • 500 packets to another node, Emax=1000 / Erep=10

  20. Conclusion • Green Communications is a new and broad research area where energy efficiency and alternative sources in communications are investigated. • Various questions arise when efficiency and alternative sources are considered. • For the energy aware routing problem, intelligent algorithms provide significant performance improvements.
