이동통신 시스템은 무선 자원과 배터리 전력을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 사용자 상태 천이 방식을 정의하고 있다. 이러한 상태 천이 방식에서는 에너지 소비가 많은 상태가 기본적으로 짧은 접속 지연을 제공하므로 에너지와 지연 성능 사이에 트레이드오프 관계가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 이동 응용 서비스의 트래픽 속성을 고려하여 UMTS 시스템의 사용자 상태 천이 방식을 분석한다. 상태 천이 방식의 마르코프 모델링을 통하여 에너지 소비량과 활성 지연을 수학적으로 도출하고 운용 파라미터에 따라 이들의 트레이드오프 관계를 파악한다. 분석 결과로 도출된 에너지-지연 트레이드오프 곡선은 주어진 상태 천이 방식이 달성 가능한 성능 한계를 보여주며 지연 요구사항을 보장하면서 에너지 소비를 최소화하는 최적 운용 전략을 제시한다.

본 논문에서는 Long-Term Evolution (LTE) 시스템에서 사용자 단말과 통신하는 상대노드 사이에 발생하는 양방향 지연을 고려하여 새로운 전력절감 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 전력절감 알고리즘은 양방향 지연을 겪는 트래픽 발생 패턴에 맞추어 기존 LTE 시스템의 전력절감 알고리즘에서 사용하는 단말 상태 천이 순서를 반대로 적용한다. 발생하는 양방향 지연을 수학적으로 모델링한 후 제안 전력절감 방식의 성능을 단말의 에너지 소비량과 패킷의 버퍼링 지연 관점에서 분석한다. 운용 파라미터의 변화에 따라 이들 성능을 에너지-지연 트레이드오프 곡선으로 특성화하고 이를 통해 제안하는 전력절감 방식이 기존 LTE 표준의 전력절감 방식과 비교하여 에너지와 지연 성능 모두를 효과적으로 향상시키고 있음을 확인한다.

In this paper, we investigate a buffer-aided wireless powered cooperative communication network (WPCCN), in which the source and relay harvest the energy from a dedicated power beacon via wireless energy transfer, then the source transmits the data to the destination through the relay. Both the source and relay are equipped with an energy buffer to store the harvested energy in the energy transfer stage. In addition, the relay is equipped with a data buffer and can temporarily store the received information. Considering the buffer-aided WPCCN, we propose two buffer-aided relaying protocols, which named as the buffer-aided harvest-then-transmit (HtT) protocol and the buffer-aided joint mode selection and power allocation (JMSPA) protocol, respectively. For the buffer-aided HtT protocol, the time-averaged achievable rate is obtained in closed form. For the buffer-aided JMSPA protocol, the optimal adaptive mode selection scheme and power allocation scheme, which jointly maximize the time-averaged throughput of system, are obtained by employing the Lyapunov optimization theory. Furthermore, we drive the theoretical bounds on the time-averaged achievable rate and time-averaged delay, then present the throughput-delay tradeoff achieved by the joint JMSPA protocol. Simulation results validate the throughput performance gain of the proposed buffer-aided relaying protocols and verify the theoretical analysis.

무선 애드혹 네트워크에서의 멀티캐스팅은 그룹 내 여러 노드의 협력을 필요로 하는 많은 응용 분야에 기본적인 기능이다. 일반적인 접근 방법은 오버레이 트리를 구성하고 멀티캐스트 패킷을 트리 상의 여러 수신 노드에게 전달하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 정적 노드로 구성된 무선 애드혹 네트워크에서 지연 시간 및 에너지를 고려하는 멀티캐스트를 위한 적응 오버레이 트리(AOT)를 제안한다. 트레이드오프(tradeoff) 함수를 정의하고 AOT 생성을 위한 새로운 알고리즘을 고안한다. 보통 지연 시간과 에너지 소비에 대한 요구 사항은 응용 분야의 종류에 따라 다르다. 트레이드오프 함수에서 파라미터를 조절함으로써, 서로 다른 종류의 응용분야에 따라 다른 AOT를 적응적으로 선택할 수 있게 된다. 각 AOT는 O(ke) 시간에 생성된다. 여기서, e는 네트워크 내의 무선 링크의 수이고 k는 멀티캐스트 그룹 내의 멤버 노드의 수이다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 의하면, AOT는 가장 빠른 트리(지연 시간이 가장 중요한 설계 요소인 경우)와 가장 에너지 효율적인 트리(에너지 소비가 일차적인 관심사인 경우) 사이의 트레이드오프를 적응적으로 제공한다. 즉, 네트워크 운용 환경에 따라 여러 AOT 중의 하나를 적절하게 선택할 수 있게 해준다.

A sensor networkis composed of a large number of sensor nodes, which are densely deployed either inside the phenomenon or very close to it. One of the most important constraints on sensor nodes is the low power consumption requirement. Sensor nodes carry limited, generally irreplaceable, power sources. Therefore, while traditional networks aim to achieve high quality of service (QoS) provisions, sensor network protocols must focus primarily on power conservation. This paper presents the characteristics of energy consuming, average delay in 802.11 MAC, S-MAC that is specifically designed for wireless sensor networks. We analyze the energy consuming state in the 802.11 MAC in the simulation topology nodes, and measure average delay in 802.11 and S-MAC. Energy efficiency is the primary goal in this protocol design. 802.11 MAC is more efficient than S-MAC in the average delay, throughput. However S-MAC is an energy efficient protocol, a tradeoff between energy efficiency and delay.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs) duty cycling has been an imperative choice to reduce idle listening but it introduces sleep delay. Thus, the conventional WSN medium access control protocols are bound by the energy-latency tradeoff. To break through the tradeoff, we propose a radio wave sensor called radio frequency (RF) wakeup sensor that is dedicated to sense the presence of a RF signal. The distinctive feature of our design is that the RF wakeup sensor can provide the same sensitivity but with two orders of magnitude less energy than the underlying RF module. With RF wakeup sensor a sensor node no longer requires duty cycling. Instead, it can maintain a sleep state until its RF wakeup sensor detects a communication signal. According to our analysis, the response time of the RF wakeup sensor is much shorter than the minimum transmission time of a typical communication module. Therefore, we apply duty cycling to the RF wakeup sensor to further reduce the energy consumption without performance degradation. We evaluate the circuital characteristics of our RF wakeup sensor design by using Advanced Design System 2009 simulator. The results show that RF wakeup sensor allows a sensor node to completely turn off their communication module by performing the around-the-clock carrier sensing while it consumes only 0.07% energy of an idle communication module.

Exploiting the energy-delay tradeoff for energy saving is critical for developing green wireless communication systems. In this paper, we investigate the delay-constrained energy-efficient packet transmission. We aim to minimize the energy consumption of multiple randomly arrived packets in an additive white Gaussian noise channel subject to individual packet delay constraints, by taking into account the practical on-off circuit power consumption at the transmitter. First, we consider the offline case, by assuming that the full packet arrival information is known a priori at the transmitter, and formulate the energy minimization problem as a non-convex optimization problem. By exploiting the specific problem structure, we propose an efficient scheduling algorithm to obtain the globally optimal solution. It is shown that the optimal solution consists of two types of scheduling intervals, namely "selected-off" and "always-on" intervals, which correspond to bits-per-joule energy efficiency maximization and "lazy scheduling" rate allocation, respectively. Next, we consider the practical online case where only causal packet arrival information is available. Inspired by the optimal offline solution, we propose a new online scheme. It is shown by simulations that the proposed online scheme has a comparable performance with the optimal offline one and outperforms the design without considering on-off circuit power as well as the other heuristically designed online schemes.

Considering the tradeoff between energy consumption and outage behavior in buffer-aided relay selection, a novel energy-efficient buffer-aided optimal relay selection scheme with power adaptation and Inter-Relay Interference (IRI) cancellation is proposed. In the proposed scheme, energy consumption minimization is the objective with the consideration of relay buffer state, outage probability and relay power control, in order to eliminate IRI. The proposed scheme selects a pair of optimal relays from multiple candidate relays, denoted as optimal receive relay and optimal transmit relay respectively. Source-relay and relay-destination communications can be performed within a time-slot, which performs as Full-Duplex (FD) relaying. Markov chain model is applied to analyze the evolution of relay buffer states. System steady state outage probability and achievable diversity order are derived respectively. In addition, packet transmission delay and power reduction performance are investigated with a specific analysis. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme outperforms other relay selection schemes in terms of outage behavior with power adaptation and IRI cancellation in the same relay number and buffer size scenario. Compared with Buffer State relay selection method, the proposed scheme reduces transmission delay significantly with the same amount of relays. Average transmit power reduction can be implemented to relays with the increasing of relay number and buffer size, which realizes the tradeoff between energy-efficiency, outage behavior and delay performance in green cooperative communications.

The fundamental design goal of wireless sensor MAC protocols is to minimize unnecessary power consumption of the sensor nodes, because of its stringent resource constraints and ultra-power limitation. In existing MAC protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), duty cycling, in which each node periodically cycles between the active and sleep states, has been introduced to reduce unnecessary energy consumption. Existing MAC schemes, however, use a fixed duty cycling regardless of multi-hop communication and traffic fluctuations. On the other hand, there is a tradeoff between energy efficiency and delay caused by duty cycling mechanism in multi-hop communication and existing MAC approaches only tend to improve energy efficiency with sacrificing data delivery delay. In this paper, we propose two different MAC schemes (ADS-MAC and ELA-MAC) using closed-loop control in order to achieve both energy savings and minimal delay in wireless sensor networks. The two proposed MAC schemes, which are synchronous and asynchronous approaches, respectively, utilize an adaptive timer and a successive preload frame with closed-loop control for adaptive duty cycling. As a result, the analysis and the simulation results show that our schemes outperform existing schemes in terms of energy efficiency and delivery delay.
