Quantifying Energy Provisioning's Impact on Wireless Networks
Chen Yang · 2016
Managing energy supply in wireless networks is an essential issue in deploying and operating such networks. Various schemes were proposed based on the fundamental operation of turning off certain nodes' communication interfaces. Instead of focusing on each node's behavior under specific energy management scheme, we study the impact of energy provisioning from the whole network perspective in this paper. We first study the correlation between connectivity transformation and energy provisioning in wireless networks. Then we quantify the energy provisioning's impact of traffic handling capacity of such networks. Results from both quantifications are collected over network instances described by traces from real platforms and generic mobility model.
