Last mile mobile hybrid optical wireless access network routing enhancementjournalBEEI
This study focuses on mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) that support Internet routing protocol imposing stringent resource consumption constraints of Quality of service (QoS). The mobile Internet causes the ongoing issue of inefficient use of the MANET resources due to its random nature of wireless environments. In this paper, the new improved architecture of the last mile mobile hybrid optical-wireless access network (adLMMHOWAN) is proposed and designed to tackle the arised issues. The proposed design is based on a unified wireless-wired network solution required the deployment of MANET-based wireless fidelity (WiFi) technology at the wireless front-end and wavelengths division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM PON) at the optical backhaul. The critical performance metrics such as network capacity and energy consumption based on modified AODVUU routing protocol using OMNeT++ software is analyzed with 2 scenarios, namely the number of nodes and mobility speed. This mode of communication results in better QoS network capacity of 47.07% improvement, with 26.85% reduction of lower energy resource consumption for mobile wireless front-end over passive optical network backhaul architecture when compared with the existing work of oRiq scheme that focus on improvement in MANETs.
Energy Behavior in Ad Hoc Network Minimizing the Number of Hops and Maintaini...CSCJournals
Wireless ad-hoc mesh network is a special kind of network, where all of the nodes move in time. The topology of the network changes as the nodes are in the proximity of each other. Ad-hoc networks are generally self-configuring no stable infrastructure takes a place. In this network, each node should help relaying packets of neighboring nodes using multi-hop routing mechanism. This mechanism is needed to reach far destination nodes to solve problem of dead communication. This multiple traffic "hops" within a wireless mesh network caused dilemma. Wireless mesh network that contain multiple hops become increasingly vulnerable to problems such as energy degradation and rapid increasing of overhead packets. This paper provides a generic routing framework that balances energy efficient broadcast schemes in Wireless (Ad-Hoc) Mesh Network and maintaining connectivity of nodes (mobile terminals). Typically, each node’s activities will consume energy, either for sending packets, receiving or preparing/processing packets. Number of hops, distance of nodes, and size of packet will determine the consumption of energy. The framework is based on the principle that additional relay nodes with appropriate energy and routing metric between source and final destination significantly reduces the energy consumption necessary to deliver packets in Wireless (Ad-Hoc) Mesh Network while keep the connectivity of dynamic nodes. Using the framework, the average network connectivity is kept 18% higher and the lifetime of network lasting more than 2.38% compared with network with Link State Routing mechanism. The simulation notes that the end-to-end delay may increase rapidly if relay nodes are more than five.
A RELIABLE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCT ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR MANETs cscpconf
A mobile ad-hoc network (MANETs) is an infrastructure less network in which the mobile nodes
communicate with each other. Due to its various characteristics like highly dynamic topology
and limited battery power of the nodes, routing is one of the key issue. Also, it is not possible to
give a significant amount of power to the mobile nodes of ad-hoc networks. Because of all this
the energy consumption is also an important issue. Due to limited battery power, some other
issues like if some node gets fail, which results in loss of data packets and no reliable data
transfer has been raised. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed for data transmission which
detects the node failure (due to energy) before it actually happens. Because of this network
lifetime gets improved. The proposed routing algorithm is energy efficient as compared to
AODV routing algorithm. The performance is analyzed on the basis of various performance
metrics like Energy Consumption, Packet Delivery Ratio, Network Life Time, Network Routing
Overhead and number of Exhausted nodes in the network by using the NS2 Simulator.

Novel Optimization to Reduce Power Drainage in Mobile Devices for Multicarrie...IJECEIAES
With increasing adoption of multicarrier-based communications e.g. 3G and 4G, the users are significantly benefited with impressive data rate but at the cost of battery life of their mobile devices. We reviewed the existing techniques to find an open research gap in this regard. This paper presents a novel framework where an optimization is carried out with the objective function to maintain higher level of equilibrium between maximized data delivery and minimized transmit power. An analytical model considering multiple radio antennae in the mobile device is presented with constraint formulations of data quality and threshold power factor. The model outcome is evaluated with respect to amount of power being conserved as performance factor. The study was found to offer maximum energy conservation and the framework also suits well with existing communication system of mobile networks.
Empirical studies have revealed that a significant amount of energy is lost unnecessarily in the
network architectures, protocols, routers and various other network devices. Thus there is a need for techniques
to obtain green networking in the computer architecture which can lead to energy saving. Green networking is
an emerging phenomenon in the computer industry because of its economic and environmental benefits. Saving
energy leads to cost-cutting and lower emission of greenhouse gases which are apparently one of the major
threats to the environment. ’Greening’ as the name suggests is the process of constructing network architecture
in such a way so as to avoid unnecessary loss of power and energy due its various components and can be
implemented using various techniques out of which four are mentioned in this review paper, namely Adaptive
link rate (ALR), Dynamic Voltage and Frequency scaling(DVFS), Interface proxying and energy aware
applications and software.

Integrated approach for efficient power consumption and resource allocation i...IJECEIAES
The growing interest towards wireless communication advancement with smart devices has provided the desired throughput of wireless communication mechanisms. But, attaining high-speed data packets amenities is the biggest issue in different multimedia applications. Recently, OFDM has come up with the useful features for wireless communication however it faces interference issues at carrier level (intercarrier interferences). To resolve these interference issues in OFDM, various existing mechanisms were utilized cyclic prefix, but it leads to redundancy in transmitted data. Also, the transmission of this redundant data can take some more power and bandwidth. All these limitations factors can be removed from a parallel cancellation mechanism. The integration of parallel cancellation and Convolution Viterbi encoding and decoding in MIMOOFDMA will be an effective solution to have high data rate which also associations with the benefits of both the architectures of MIMO and OFDMA modulation approaches. This paper deals with this integrated mechanism for efficient resource allocation and power consumption. For performance analysis, MIMO-OFDMA system is analyzed with three different approaches likeMIMO-OFDM system without parallel cancellation (MIMO-OFDMA-WPC), MIMO-OFDMA System with parallel cancellation (MIMO-OFDMA-PC) and proposed IMO-OFDMA system with parallel cancellation and Convolution Viterbi encoding/decoding (pMIMO-OFDMAPC &CVed) for 4x4 transmitter and receiver. Through performance analysis, it is found that the proposed system achieved better resource allocation (bandwidth) with high data rate by minimized BER rate and achieved least power consumption with least BER.
Approach to minimizing consumption of energy in wireless sensor networks IJECEIAES
The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) technology has benefited from a central position in the research space of future emerging networks by its diversity of applications fields and also by its optimization techniques of its various constraints, more essentially, the minimization of nodal energy consumption to increase the global network lifetime. To answer this saving energy problem, several solutions have been proposed at the protocol stack level of the WSN. In this paper, after presenting a state of the art of this technology and its conservation energy techniques at the protocol stack level, we were interested in the network layer to propose a routing solution based on a localization aspect that allows the creation of a virtual grid on the coverage area and introduces it to the two most well-known energy efficiency hierarchical routing protocols, LEACH and PEGASIS. This allowed us to minimize the energy consumption and to select the clusters heads in a deterministic way unlike LEACH which is done in a probabilistic way and also to minimize the latency in PEGASIS, by decomposing its chain into several independent chains. The simulation results, under "MATLABR2015b", have shown the efficiency of our approach in terms of overall residual energy and network lifetime.

Now a day ad hoc mobile networks (MANETs) have lots of routing protocols, but no one can meet
maximum performance. Some are good in a small network; some are suitable in large networks, and some
give better performance in location or global networks. Today modern and innovative applications for
health care environments based on a wireless network are being developed in the commercial sectors. The
emerging wireless networks are rapidly becoming a fundamental part of every single field of life. Our

Power Consumption Modeling and Analysis of Integrated Optical-Wireless Access...IJECEIAES
The integration of optical and wireless technologies at access networks are considered as a future solution which provide both high bandwidth and high mobility in an efficient way. GPON is a suitable candidate for optical backhaul due to the combination of higher data rates, greater split ratio and support for triple play services hence it offers maximum flexibility and cost advantages. On the other hand, recent developments of new radio access technologies and introduction of femtocell base stations provide the potential of offering broadband services and applications to everyone and everywhere. However, the power consumption of this network demands a particular attention because access networks are the largest contributor the network related electricity consumption. Therefore, in this paper we evaluate the power consumption of integrated optical-wireless access network which is based on independent ONU-BS architecture. We proposed a power consumption model for such network and the assessment has been done under different simulation scenarios. The constructed model will provide insight of the energy performance of the integrated access network so that in the network design process, focus can be done to the most energy saving strategies.

CONTEXT-AWARE ENERGY CONSERVING ROUTING ALGORITHM FOR INTERNET OF THINGSIJCNCJournal
Internet of Things (IoT) is the fast- growing technology, mostly used in smart mobile devices such as notebooks, tablets, personal digital assistants (PDA), smartphones, etc. Due to its dynamic nature and the limited battery power of the IoT enabled smart mobile nodes, the communication links between intermediate relay nodes may fail frequently, thus affecting the routing performance of the network and also the availability of the nodes. Existing algorithm does not concentrate about communication links and battery power/energy, but these node links are a very important factor for improving the quality of routing in IoT. In this paper, Context-aware Energy Conserving Algorithm for routing (CECA) was proposed which employs QoS routing metrics like Inter-Meeting Time and residual energy and has been applied to IoT enabled smart mobile devices using different technologies with different microcontroller which resulted in an increased network lifetime, throughput and reduced control overhead and the end to end delay. Simulation results show that, with respect to the speed of the mobile nodes from 2 to 10m/s, CECA increases the network lifetime, thereby increasing the average residual energy by 11.1% and increasing throughput there by reduces the average end to end delay by 14.1% over the Energy-Efficient Probabilistic Routing (EEPR) algorithm. With respect to the number of nodes increases from 10 to 100 nodes, CECA algorithms increase the average residual energy by16.1 % reduces the average end to end delay by 15.9% and control overhead by 23.7% over the existing EEPR
Extended Bandwidth Optimized and Energy Efficient Dynamic Source Routing Prot...IJECEIAES
With the increase in the evolution of wireless communication, the ad-hoc networks are gaining attention and are significantly becoming the technology solutions to the various problems. Mobile ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are envisaged to grow as a main component in the today 4G architecture, and ad hoc networks are projected to be a significant element of the whole future wireless communication. The MANETs are infrastructure less, self-forming and self-organizing network in which there is no control of any centralized entity. The nodes are free to move around the network with dynamic topology. But this self formation, flexibility and scalability create many challenges and design constraints like hidden terminal, limited bandwidth, limited energy of a node, unpredictable change in the topology etc. Bandwidth and energy are the scarce resources of the network. In order to effectively manage the consumption of bandwidth and energy, an algorithm is proposed which is the extension of traditional Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) reactive routing protocol. The extended protocol applies the mobile agents to carry the data. The proposed work is intended to optimize the bandwidth and making the protocol energy efficient.
A NEW DATA ENCODER AND DECODER SCHEME FOR NETWORK ON CHIPEditor IJMTER
System-on-chip (soc) based system has so many disadvantages in power-dissipation as
well as clock rate while the data transfer from one system to another system in on-chip. At the same
time, a higher operated system does not support the lower operated bus network for data transfer.
However an alternative scheme is proposed for high speed data transfer. But this scheme is limited to
SOCs. Unlike soc, network-on-chip (NOC) has so many advantages for data transfer. It has a special
feature to transfer the data in on-chip named as transitional encoder. Its operation is based on input
transitions. At the same time it supports systems which are higher operated frequencies. In this
project, a low-power encoding scheme is proposed. The proposed system yields lower dynamic
power dissipation due to the reduction of switching activity and coupling switching activity when
compared to existing system. Even-though many factors which is based on power dissipation, the
dynamic power dissipation is only considerable for reasonable advantage. The proposed system is
synthesized using quartus II 9.1 software. Besides, the proposed system will be extended up to
interlink PE communication with help of routers and PE’s which are performed by various
operations. To implement this system in real NOC’s contains the proposed encoders and decoders for
data transfer with regular traffic scenarios should be considered.

Comparative Analysis of Green Algorithm within Active Queue Management for Mo...ijtsrd
The Queue Management Techniques play an important role in improving the Quality of Service in Mobile Ad hoc Networks. The need of congestion control and Queue management is inevitable in Mobile Ad hoc Network. Understanding and analyzing the latest AQM Techniques give an insight to improving throughput, packet loss rate, average end to end delay and other parameters that severely affect the performance. The performance of mobile ad hoc networks is evaluated by varying the Channel Error Rate, Bandwidth and Delay at different fragment sizes of different traffic flows. The proposed method performs the network analysis of new Routing protocols. The work proposes to evaluate various Active Queue Management Techniques in a multi traffic environment i.e., sources generating both TCP and UDP traffic classes. The UDP is propagated via CBR and TCP is propagated via FTP. The implementation of the proposed queue management technique has been done in NS 2. In the proposed work we have make NS 2 compatible with GREEN by integrating source code into the ns 2 installation files and using various AQMs in comparison with GREEN to calculate the throughput at various Bandwidths across network. Using various AQMs in comparison with GREEN we have calculated the throughput at various Delays across the network and we have also calculated the throughput at various channels Error Rate across the network. The proposed method has been compared with other primitive AQM techniques so that a repository of best available results can be obtained for design and research purposes.

M-EPAR to Improve the Quality of the MANETsIJERA Editor
In MANET, power aware is important challenge issue to improve the communication energy efficiency at individual nodes. We propose modified efficient power aware routing (M-EPAR), a new power aware routing protocol that increases the network lifetime of MANET. Designing a power aware routing algorithm or technique is one of the most important point considered in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. These nodes are driven by reactive protocols where broadcasting is mandatory to form a path between two nodes. So in case of death of the node resulting out of less battery calls for re-routing. Since many existing techniques focuses on energy aware routing this paper presents combination of energy aware routing merged with link quality determined by packet drop rate. The proposed scheme has outperformed the existing technique in terms of packet delivery ratio, throughput and energy consumption.

Abstract: A mobile accidental network (MANET) may be an assortment of nodes equipped with wireless communications and a networking capability while not central network management. The method of wireless networks within the applications like transferring video files is subjected to twin constraints. Each step-down of power and different QOS needs like delay, throughputs square measure need to be bewaring properly. Mobile accidental Networks square measure a lot of perceptive to those problems wherever every mobile device is active sort of a router and consequently, routing delay adds significantly to overall end-to-end delay. This paper presents a survey on power economical routing protocols for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks. This survey focused on recent progress on power saving algorithms. Additionally we recommend one power aware technique which can cut back power consumption yet as increase the lifespan of node and network.

Energy-aware strategy for data forwarding in IoT ecosystem IJECEIAES
The Internet of Things (IoT) is looming technology rapidly attracting many industries and drawing research attention. Although the scale of IoT-applications is very large, the capabilities of the IoT-devices are limited, especially in terms of energy. However, various research works have been done to alleviate these shortcomings, but the schemes introduced in the literature are complex and difficult to implement in practical scenarios. Therefore, considering the energy consumption of heterogeneous nodes in IoT eco-system, a simple energy-efficient routing technique is proposed. The proposed system has also employed an SDN controller that acts as a centralized manager to control and monitor network services, there by restricting the access of selfish nodes to the network. The proposed system constructs an analytical algorithm that provides reliable data transmission operations and controls energy consumption using a strategic mechanism where the path selection process is performed based on the remaining energy of adjacent nodes located in the direction of the destination node. The proposed energy-efficient data forwarding mechanism is compared with the existing AODV routing technique. The simulation result demonstrates that the protocol is superior to AODV in terms of packet delivery rate, throughput, and end-to-end delay.
In this paper we discuss about how to increase the reliability, energy-efficiency in a wireless sensor network. Since energy saving has become the top factor on demand due to the increasing multimedia services in mobile devices. The existing batteries unfortunately do not provide the desirable lifetime. Therefore reducing energy consumption has become very crucial factor in all the tasks the mobile devices perform. This work presents an Opportunistic Routing Protocol, which supports energy consumption by increasing the networks performance and also providing reliability to the wireless sensor networks.
A Novel Weighted Clustering Based Approach for Improving the Wireless Sensor ...IJERA Editor
Great lifetime and reliability is the key aim of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) design. As for prolonging
lifetime of this type of network, energy is the most important resource; all recent researches are focused on more
and more energy efficient techniques. Proposed work is Weighted Clustering Approach based on Weighted
Cluster Head Selection, which is highly energy efficient and reliable in mobile network scenario. Weight
calculation using different attributes of the nodes like SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), Remaining Energy, Node
Degree, Mobility, and Buffer Length gives efficient Cluster Head (CH) on regular interval of time. CH rotation
helps in optimum utilization of energy available with all nodes; results in prolonged network lifetime.
Implementation is done using the NS2 network simulator and performance evaluation is carried out in terms of
PDR (Packet Delivery Ratio), End to End Delay, Throughput, and Energy Consumption. Demonstration of the
obtained results shows that proposed work is adaptable for improving the performance. In order to justify the
solution, the performance of proposed technique is compared with the performance of traditional approach. The
performance of proposed technique is found optimum as compared to the traditional techniques.
Energy Consumption in Ad Hoc Network With Agents Minimizing the Number of Hop...CSCJournals
Wireless mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a special kind of network, where all of the nodes move in time. Node is intended to help relaying packets of neighboring nodes using multi-hop routing mechanism in order to solve problem of dead communication. MANET which engages broadcasting and contains multiple hops becomes increasingly vulnerable to problems such as mobile node’s energy degradation, routing problem and rapid increasing of overhead packets. This paper provides an extensive study of energy consumption in the MANET that consists of several network areas with the presence agents. Agents will minimize number of hops and its affect in linearity with the delay. As nodes grow, either in data transmission services or coverage of node’s communication or more agents stand in overlapped locations, accordingly data exchange and topology development to adapt the network are becoming an important issue. As a result, agents are needed to support process automation, high-level connectivity and intelligent service on that such environment. We evaluate the agents’ performance and network energy consumption for supporting MANET. The proposed agents provides service packets transmission between networks; e.g. determine appropriate relay nodes dynamically, maintain the transmission between networks through another nodes, share the topology knowledge among agents, and route packets between source and final destination that are unable to communicate directly. The achievement on research with this approach is conducted via simulation study. A similar network without agents is presented to derive such referential bounds by using appropriate functions of network agents. The proposed algorithm is confirmed with composite simulation results.
A LOW-ENERGY DATA AGGREGATION PROTOCOL USING AN EMERGENCY EFFICIENT HYBRID ME...IJCNCJournal
Recent wireless sensor network focused on developing communication networks with minimal power and cost. To achieve this, several techniques have been developed to monitor a completely wireless sensor network. Generally, in the WSN network, communication is established between the source nodes and the destination node with an abundant number of hops, an activity which consumes much energy. The node existing between source and destination nodes consumes energy for transmission of data and maximize network lifetime. To overcome this issue, a new Emergency Efficient Hybrid Medium Access Control (EEHMAC) protocol is presented to reduce consumption of energy among a specific group of WSNs which will increase the network lifetime. The proposed model makes a residual battery is utilized for effective transmission of data with minimal power consumption. Compared with other models, the experimental results strongly showed that our model is not only able to reduce network lifetime but also to increase the overall network performance.

A New Method for Reducing Energy Consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks usin...Editor IJCATR
Nowadays, wireless sensor networks, clustering protocol based on the neighboring nodes into separate clusters and fault
tolerance for each cluster exists for sensors to send information to the base station, to gain the best performance in terms of increased
longevity and maintain tolerance than with other routing methods. However, most clustering protocols proposed so far, only
geographical proximity (neighboring) cluster formation is considered as a parameter. In this study, a new clustering protocol and fault
tolerance based on the fuzzy algorithms are able to clustering nodes in sensor networks based on fuzzy logic and fault tolerance. This
protocol uses clustering sensor nodes and fault tolerance exist in the network to reduce energy consumption, so that faulty sensors
from neighboring nodes are used to cover the errors, work based on the most criteria overlay neighbor sensors with defective sensors,
distance neighbor sensors from fault sensor and distance neighbor sensors from central station is done. Superior performance of the
protocol can be seen in terms of increasing the network lifetime and maintain the best network tolerance in comparison with previous
protocols such as LEACH in the simulation results.
Enhancing Survivability, Lifetime, and Energy Efficiency of Wireless NetworksIJRES Journal
In this paper, we focus on improving wireless networks survivability in terms of increasing network lifetime and its energy efficiency via clustering the network in an efficient way. Clustering the network is the procedure of partitioning it into groups, where each of them is known as a cluster. Each cluster elects the station with the highest power to be a cluster head. The remaining stations follow the nearest cluster head. Instead of having each station sends its packets to a remote receiver, the cluster head receives packets from all stations within its cluster, aggregates them, and forwards the resulting packets to the remote receiver. The most significant benefit of clustering the network that we focus on is to decrease distances between sending and receiving stations, which in turn reduces the transmission energy. This reduction in the energy yields an increase in the network lifetime and its survivability.
Cross Layer Solution for Energy and Delay Optimization in MANETs IJECEIAES
A novel method for packet forwarding in MANETs has been proposed in this paper. A node in the network acts as both host and router. Energy utilization of the node increases as all nodes in MANET operate as source, destination, and router to forward packets to the next hop ultimately to reach destination. Routers execute a variety of functions from simple packet classification for forwarding to complex payload revision. As the number of tasks and complexity increases, processing time required also increases resulting in significant processing delay in routers. The proposed work optimizes packet header at transport and network layer by calculating Unique Identifier using pairing function for the fields which do not change for a source–destination pair. This technique optimizes the processing cost of each packet header thereby conserving energy and reducing delay. It also simplifies the task of system administration. This paper elucidates an extension to basic AODV protocol, allowing routing of most packets without an explicit header, reducing the overhead of the protocol while still conserving its basic properties. The proposed method improves the network performance significantly compared to AODV, MTPR, and S-AODV protocol.

Study of Energy Saving in Carrier-Ethernet Network
Abstract—Energy saving is a really interesting topic
in today’s networks. Indeed Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) systems are
energy greedy, they require more and more energy
and as energy is more and more expensive we seek to
save it. Accordingly, energy saving has recently
received considerable attention, as a promising
approach for delivering ICT services with
environmentally conscious use of technology by
implementing energy aware strategies in networks
infrastructures which lead to improve network
resources utilization. Thus this paper addresses the
issue of energy consumption in telecom networks and
especially in Carrier-Ethernet networks. We review
and describe relevant works currently proposed for
energy-efficient operation of wired network
infrastructure. Besides surveying some of the
different technical issues that researchers are
currently facing to reduce the energy consumption in
networking, this paper identifies some of the
remaining key research challenges that arise when
such energy-saving techniques are extended for use in
Carrier Ethernet networks.
Keywords: Green Networking, Energy Savings,
Wired Networking, Carrier-Ethernet, IP Networks
I.INTRODUCTION
Reduction of unnecessary energy consumption
in wired networks is becoming a main matter of
public concern. Due to the impact of electricity
consumption on the economic, environmental, and
marketing fields, the energy saving in ICT sector
and more specifically in networking is becoming a
fundamental key issue. For example, nowadays
networking infrastructures connecting data center to
cloud afford high-capacity components and over-
provisioning architectures to ensuring service
availability which result in high power consumption.
In addition, worldwide Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) and Telecom operators have been confirmed
in recent reports the rising price of energy [1].
These statements trigger many efforts which have
been dedicated to cut unnecessary energy
dissipation. Our objective is to provide a better
understanding of several studies that have aimed to
apply the energy saving for green networking. We
can define the notion of green networking as the
production of sufficient networking performance
with minimum energy cost.
In networking energy saving may be achieved
either by dynamically selecting the adequate paths
which result in efficient use of energy or by
switching off unnecessary links or network devices.
In this paper, we focus on energy savings
approaches devoted to be used in Carrier-Ethernet or
in IP networks. Metro-Ethernet [2] is the use of
Carrier-Ethernet technology in Metropolitan Area
Networks (MANs). It can be used to connect
business local Area Networks (LANs) and
individual end users to Wide Area Networks (WAN)
or to the Internet. Such use of Metro-Ethernet is to
interconnect regional data centers or cloud
consumers. Figure 1 presents the major
segmentations of the network which are the access,
aggregation (metro) and core networks, they are
usually over dimensioned and need the
implementation of energy aware mechanisms.
In literature there is few researches that are
focused on Carrier-Ethernet energy saving
mechanism. Since, Ethernet is massively deployed
and it aims at reducing of both CAPEX and OPEX.
So we expect a large room for energy saving in this
network In order to better understand the possible
ways to limit energy consumption in Carrier-
Ethernet, we chose to overview in addition works
related to energy saving on IP networks that could
be adapted to Carrier-Ethernet.
The goal of the paper is to describe and to
classify energy saving mechanisms proposed either
in IP or in Carrier-Ethernet Networks and to discuss
how can mechanisms applied in IP networks be
adapted for Carrier-Ethernet. Energy saving
mechanisms could be categorized into two
categories: efficient path selection and powering off
links and devices. In studied energy saving
proposals, we focus on the optimization objective,
on the network applicability and on main supported
protocols and mechanisms for each proposal.
We have organized this paper into four main
sections, one of which has sub-section. In the second
section, we present the standards used in Carrier
Ethernet context. In the third section, we present the
main related methodologies. In the fourth section,
we survey and classify energy aware approaches.
Finally, we conclude this paper with a fifth section
that discusses the importance and reveal the
advantages and limitations of the studied
approaches. Furthermore, we present our future
work related to energy saving over Carrier-Ethernet
network.

II. CARRIER ETHERNET TECHNOLOGY
AND STANDARDS
Incremental innovations are made within Ethernet
standards. Therefore current services based on Ethernet
technology are now used in MAN networks and
Carrier Networks. One of the main reasons Ethernet is
being widely deployed is due to its effective cost of
both CAPEX and OPEX, when it is used by enterprises
and ISPs.
The current Ethernet technologies rely on Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP) standardized in IEEE 802.1D [1]
and its variants: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
[2] and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) [3].
They manage the topology autonomously and provide
a loop free connectivity across a variety of network
nodes. Although these protocols have been used for
most Ethernet networks, they are not powerful
anymore to meet Metro Ethernet Network complexity.
They have the following main shortcomings:
i) Inefficient use of resources: STP and its
variants restrict the number of ports being used, which
reduce the available bandwidth especially in case of
high load traffic.
ii) Suboptimal path: the shortest path selection is
based on the spanning tree for the entire network
instead the shortest path between source/destination
nodes.
iii) Re-convergence and Interruption: spanning
trees implement the transactional distance-vector class
of algorithm instead of a proper topology database,
which adversely impacts the convergence time of an
Ethernet network after a topology change [4].
Recently, a new class of shortest path routing
solutions has been introduced for Ethernet networks,
the Shortest Path Bridging (SPB), standardized in
IEEE 802.1aq [5].
SPB aims to ensure frames forwarding on the
shortest path within a Shortest Path Tree (SPT) region
of a network by using an extension of IS-IS link state
routing protocol [6]. In this way, SPB uses IS-IS
procedures to construct and update the link state
database in each SPT bridge.
Another alternative to STP like SPB is Transparent
Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) is an IETF
standardized was introduced by Radia Perlman [9].
TRILL can be used in both current Ethernet networks
and in IP Networks. Hence the denomination by
Routing Bridge the devices which implement TRILL
protocol.
III. RELATED METHODOLOGIES
There have been several approaches that aim to
reduce power consumption in the area of
communication networks. We have reviewed
approaches that focus on energy saving in wired
networks because our work is much more oriented
toward power consumption of high performance
Carrier Ethernet. A comprehensive taxonomy of green
networking is provided in [1]. Authors have identified
three categories of strategies: i) re-engineering, ii)
dynamic adaptation, and iii) sleeping/standby. Re-
engineering aims at dimensioning and optimizing the
network elements or devising completely new efficient
equipment designs. Dynamic adaptation refers to
modulating the capacities of packet processing engines
and of network interfaces to meet actual requirements.
The last category, sleeping/standby, considers the case
where the network elements (or parts of) are switched
off to a sleep state. All of these categories indicate that
there is dependency between capacity and energy
consumption.
A recent survey in [10] provides a comprehensive
treatment of recent green networking techniques
focusing on wired networking. They classify the
existing research into four categories; i) adaptive link
rate, ii) interface proxying, iii) energy-aware interfaces,
and iv) energy-aware applications. Adaptive link rate
category regroups approaches to reduce energy
consumption by dynamically adapting the link rate to
the traffic level. Interface proxying refers to attempts to
"outsource" network operations from CPUs and such to
low-power devices on, e.g., network interface card or
in a case of a LAN to an external device, closer to the
physical network. The third category regroups
approaches related to the design and management of
global network perspective. The last category, energy
aware applications, calls for energy-efficient software
designs.
Before attempting to minimize the energy
consumption in networks, it is important to identify the
sources of network power consumption and where the
improvements could take place. In [11], authors argue
that the architecture design can help to reduce the
energy consumption in data center networking. In
[12], authors consider a design approach for IP
networks providing a possible way to achieve energy
saving during the network design stage. Table I shows

Also many standardized protocols such as
Transparent Interconnection of Lots of links (TRILL)
and Shortest Path Bridge (SPB), can be implemented
in Carrier-Ethernet network to help in energy saving.
An evaluation of TRILL (IETF) and SPB (IEEE
802.1aq) is presented in [14]. Both protocols compute
the shortest path between any nodes pairs. They have a
consistent view of all bridges, topology and location of
end nodes due to the utilization of the IS-IS link state
protocol. These protocols are as evolution of the
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) which is the Ethernet
native routing algorithm. STP protocol can’t adhere
anymore to the requirements of Carrier-Ethernet
complexity and innovation. It does not have
information on the overall network topology that
causes several shortcomings including a suboptimal
path between node pairs and interruption and
convergence due to any topology changes.
An optimization model through traffic engineering
and employing Multiple Spanning Tree protocols is
provided in [15]. This model considers the
minimization of the energy consumption of Ethernet
Carrier Network. [16] and [17], select the best energy-
efficient paths to deflect the traffic without powering
off any equipment. These proposals are designed to
improve the traffic engineering in Carrier-Ethernet by
modifying the Spanning Tree Protocol STP and add
new forwarding mechanisms.
In [18], an Energy Aware Routing algorithm is
proposed to power off some network links during low
traffic periods. The main idea of this algorithm is that
only a subset of routers are elected as an exporters
which evaluate their shortest path tree whereas the
direct neighbors routers called importers routers utilize
the shortest path tree of the exporters routers and
power off the links that are no longer in new shortest
path tree of the importers routers. Another approach in
[19] puts routers in power saving mode during low
traffic periods. In this regard, coordination is necessary
for routers to enter in the sleeping state during non-
peak hours and to return into working state during peak
hours.
IV. TAXONOMY OF ENERGY-AWARE
STRATEGIES
For the improvements on the network energy
efficiency, a variety of strategies have been published.
These strategies are being classified differently
depending on the use of metrics and on the area of
applications. Two main levels are considered to reduce
the energy consumption: equipment level and the
network level. At the equipment level, many
techniques are proposed to optimize the network
devices architecture such as the CMOS technology,
circuit simplifications and the optimization of power
management features (e.g, dynamic voltage scaling and
adaptive link rate). Whereas at the network level,
mechanisms are proposed to manage energy
dissipation according to the network design and the
network performance requirements (traffic volumes
and QoS). Routing protocols, resource allocation
strategies and Traffic Engineering approach are typical
examples of mechanisms to the network level.
We give in this section a classification for the main
energy saving strategies based on our literature review.
The objective behind this classification is to study the
energy efficiency strategies which could be adopted in
Carrier Ethernet networks. We have classified these
strategies into two mains categories: the first one
selects the efficient paths which result in minimum
energy consumption and the second one powers off
devices or parts of them. Each category could be
classified into sub-categories as is shown in the Figure
2. The first category comprises the strategies which
focus on routing path selection subject to minimizing
the energy consumption whether by selecting the
shortest path between the source/destination pairs or by
routing the traffic through energy efficient paths which
are weighted according to their energy impacts. While
the second category concern strategies that are acting
on the power management of equipments networks.
Figure 2. Taxonomy of Energy Aware Strategies
A. The selection of efficient paths
1) Shortest path: authors in [16] propose an improved
version of the STP protocol named Shortcut Switching
Strategy (SSS). This strategy uses some of the blocked
links to forward traffic. Each node memorizes its
blocking neighbor nodes (which are blocked by
applying the STP protocol) in a table named BN-
Nodes. If the destination address is in its BN-Nodes, it
forwards the frame directly to that BN-node via its
blocked port. If the destination address is not in its BN-
Nodes table, it forwards the frame as usual by using its

traditional STP forwarding table. An example of SSS
strategy is illustrated in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Example of SSS algorithm
Applying the SSS strategy, the number of hop in a
path is decreased which improves the efficiency
compared to STP by decreasing the routing cost and
decreasing the average traffic volume on links and
switches. Therefore it allows possible mitigation of
traffic across the nodes which improve the load
balancing on links. However, this strategy does not
solve all the shortcomings of STP. In fact, switches
lack information on the network topology so SSS is not
efficient enough to handle a huge number of traffic.
The approach proposed in [17], belongs to the
shortest path category, named HFS (Hierarchical
Forwarding Strategy). This strategy consists of three
major steps: i) Running standard STP, ii) Re-
addressing the nodes by using hierarchical addresses,
iii) using new forwarding strategy. In this strategy, to
reach a destination node each node selects the neighbor
with lowest number of node counts as next hop. HFS
enables a minimization of routing cost, thereby a
potential minimization of transmission delay.
The standardized protocols SPB (IEEE 802.1aq)
and TRILL fall in this category. Both select the
shortest path between any two node pairs by using a
slightly version of IS-IS link state routing protocol.
TRILL and SPB allow load balancing, shortest path
forwarding and in instant link failover.
2) Weighted links: authors in [13] compute the
best path in terms of energy consumption for all traffic
demand arrivals. Their algorithm computes the K-
shortest paths for an incoming given traffic demand
and evaluates the consumption impact of allocating
such a demand on each network path, taking into
account the traffic demands already allocated on the
network. Then, the algorithm selects the path with
minimum energy consumption impact on the network.
This algorithm is compared with shortest path routing
(i.e. K = 1-shortest path) and it is shown that important
energy savings may be achieved, however at the
expense of increasing the average number of hops per
demand and the global network load as a consequence
of using suboptimal (in terms of distance) paths.
Mentioned mechanisms that belong to the selection
of efficient paths category can help in energy saving by
introducing traffic engineering concepts. According to
EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) [20], the energy
efficiency is a function of the link utilization, packet
transmission time, and the distribution of packet inter-
arrival times. Proposals [11] and [12] try to satisfy
these goals. So they contribute in energy saving
without employing any techniques to change the mode
power scheme. Furthermore, study in [11] shows that
more the number of hop increases, more the energy
consumption increases. This is generated by the power
consumed by packet processor engines of network
nodes.
B. Powering off some equipments
1) Powering off links (interfaces): In [18] a
distributed energy saving routing algorithm, called
EAR (Energy Aware Routing) is designed for IP
networks. The main feature of EAR is that it is fully
OSPF [21] compliant. It aimed at minimizing the
active links of a network, i.e. the number of links to be
used to route traffic. The scheme is to force a subset of
routers to use some routes which are different from
those elected in their SPTs (Shortest Path Trees). The
set of network routers is divided into three subsets:
exporters, importers, and neutral routers. This scheme
is achieved by the three following phases: i) during the
first phase, (Election of exporter routers), they
calculate their shortest path trees (Dijkstra); ii) The
second phase, called MPT(Modified Path Tree)
evaluation, every importer routers use the exporter
trees to compute their path trees and the links that have
to be switched off; iii) Finally, each router computes its
paths using Dijkastra algorithm on the residual network
topology. The Figure 4 illustrates an example of a
network graph in which the EAR was applied.
The SPTs computed through OSPF algorithm by
node a, SPT (a), and node b, SPT (b) as are shown in
Figure 4. Assuming that the node a is elected as an
exporter router ER and then the node b is an importer
router IR. The node b has to perform MPT evaluation
phase. It imports the SPT (a) as its own and then
modifies it by inserting its self as root node, the result
is as shown by MPT (b, a). When comparing SPT (b)
and MPT (b, a), in terms of total number of links used
to route traffic by node b, the result is that the link (b,
f) is saved.

2) Powering off some whole devices: In this sub-
category, [19] proposes a distributed routing protocol,
called GDRP (Green Distributed Routing Protocol), for
power saving in wired core networks. This protocol is
compatible with any existing distributed protocols such
as OSPF. GDRP algorithm coordinates how routers in
wired networks go into power saving mode without
degrading quality of service and network connectivity.
During peak hours the protocols will not degrade the
network performance, while during non-peak hours a
partial selection of routers can enter into sleep mode
without degrading the quality of service and adversely
affecting network connectivity. A power saving router
has two states: working and sleeping (see Figure 5). In
the working state, the routing operation is the same as a
traditional router, but in the sleeping state the router
enters sleep mode so that it will not process any
packets until it switches back to the working state. The
state of a router remains unchanged when the network
is not loaded and it is in the sleeping state, or when the
network is loaded and it is in the working state.
Figure.5. Transition states of power saving routers
A router estimates the network load by measuring
the maximum utilization among all the links attached
to itself (Umax). This is not the real overall network
load but it is highly related to. When the Umax value
of a router which is in a working state goes below a
threshold, if the router computes the network
connectivity can be maintained when the router will go
in sleeping state, the router sends a request to the
coordinator (which was previously elected among all
routers) to get a permission to sleep. If the router gets a
positive reply, then it broadcasts a new routing table
and then goes to the sleeping state within a certain
period. At the end of this sleeping period it will wake
up and will listen the coordinator. When the Umax
value of the coordinator is greater than a threshold, the
router gets permission to switch to the working state.
Otherwise it switches back to the sleeping state and
sleep in another sleeping period.
In [22] and [23], two solutions are proposed using
OpenFlow concept because it is flexible to manage and
easy to deploy new protocols. Also it is able to coexist
with carrier-class service.
The OpenFlow protocol is considered as the
enabler of Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
paradigm [24]. The basic SDN principle is the
separation of data plane and control plane in
networking devices (routers, switches). The data path
portion remains residing on an OpenFlow switch,
while decisions (such as putting link or devices on
standby) are moved to a separate OpenFlow controller.
The OpenFlow switch and controller communicate via
the OpenFlow Protocol.
Unlike in router/switch where data path and
control path (routing protocol) occur on the same
device, these are separated in Open Flow [25].
In [22]authors propose a scheme which aims at
putting some awaken nodes to sleep or awaking a
sleeping nodes depending upon the traffic. This work
uses OpenFlow protocol that has as main characteristic
a centralized decision.
The controller periodically checks the traffic load
in the network. If the traffic load is less than the
capacity of the network, then it checks if any nodes can
be put to sleep. If it can, it calculates the new route and
put nodes to sleep. If the traffic load increases and the
remaining active nodes cannot handle it, the controller
wakes up the sleeping nodes and re-computes the
routing path. This idea is achieved by the following
steps: i) Measurement of the network traffic
periodically, ii) Depending upon the network traffic,
computation of the set of required nodes to forward the
traffic and also determination of the root node. This
later is selected in such a way that the maximum
number of nodes can be put to sleep, iii) Use of the
sleep/wake switching technique to put awake nodes to
sleep or wake sleeping nodes as required. iv) Change
of the routing path using the awake nodes. This step
uses the Shortest Path First algorithm (Dijkstra) to
compute the routing paths.
In [15] an optimization model has been proposed
aimed at minimizing the energy consumption in
Carrier-Ethernet networks. This model uses Multiple
Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) IEEE 802.1s. This
object is performed in such a way that a portion of the
network is forced by the objective function of the
model to remain unused, thus making it possible to
turn off the elements of that portion of the network,
which are put into sleep mode to conserve energy. This
leads to use the fewest possible nodes and arcs, while
continuing to ensure full connectivity and the
management of all requests. A trade-off between the
minimization of the energy consumption and the load
balancing objective is also proposed, that help to
maintain the network performance.
A summary of proposals that use in green
networking is provided in Table II. It lists the
optimization objective, the applicable part network
(network type) and mechanisms for each proposal.
V. CONCLUSION AND FUTUR WORKS
This paper reviewed the relevant means that have
been used to reduce the energy consumption in telecom
networks domains. Our major concern is studying how
to improve energy efficiency in Carrier Ethernet
networks. In this regard, we described the Carrier
Ethernet technology, its standards and the network
segmentation. Moreover we presented the importance
of such topic and proposed a classification of main
related works. We have identified the causes and the
different level of the energy consumption problem in
networking.
For the proposals of the first category where all the
network elements are always powered on, we observe
that they do not give a considerable energy gain. While
they contribute to ensure an efficient use of resources

which is in turn help to avoid energy dissipation and
they satisfy QoS and performance constraints.
The second category regroups proposals to
reduce energy consumption by powering off some
whole nodes or line cards. This class of solution offers
an achievable energy gain.
Studies approach designed for IP networks could
be adopted in Carrier-Ethernet network by applying
protocols that are able to run directly over it and
handling MAC addresses.
Our future work will include advanced
investigation for energy saving in Carrier-Ethernet. In
this context, we will focalizing our researches on
powering off line cards (interfaces) mechanisms and as
a first contribution we propose to modify EAR
algorithm [18], which is designed to IP network,
making it Carrier-Ethernet compliant. As described
earlier the main feature of EAR is its OSPF
compliance, so it can be easily integrated into SPB
protocol. Seeing that SPB uses IS-IS protocol and both
IS-IS and OSPF behave similarly except IS-IS is able
to handle both MAC and IP addresses.
In fact, EAR provides energy saving during light
utilization periods (low traffic hours) by turning off a
set of links and rerouting the paths crossing them in
order to minimize the energy requirements, while
meeting the operational constraints and current
switching workloads. Furthermore, the results obtained
by EAR showed that more than 30% off links can be
potentially turned off which encourage us to
investigate and to adapt EAR for Carrier-Ethernet.
We consider the limitation of EAR that it is
unaware of traffic conditions. Even in [26], the authors
proposed an enhanced version of EAR strategy that
overcomes the limitations of the old EAR solution [18]
by defining the concepts of ”move” that permit to early
evaluate all the positive and negative effects of an
exportation and can modulate the network performance
and allows a QoS strategy. The enhanced version
presents a significant complexity and poor
performance in some cases.
Another direction of future work include the
implementation of OpenFlow over Carrier Ethernet
Switch Router motivated by [23] to conceive an energy
aware mechanisms dedicated to Carrier Ethernet
according the SDN paradigm.
