Compression - An Approach for Energy Conservation in Wireless Networks
Sudhansh Sharma, Neetu Sharma, Durgansh Sharma · Global Journal of Enterprise Information System · 2011
IEEE 802.11 has become more and more popular due to its low cost and easy deployment, it does not provide quality of service (QoS) support. QoS refers to the ability of network to provide some consistent services for data transmission. Thus, a lot of research works have been carried out to enhance the QoS support in IEEE 802.11 networks. Improvement in the QoS involves Data Transfer Rate(DTR) optimization as a prime factor for reliable data transfer in energy efficient manner. The performed work explores data compression as a technique to optimize the Data Transfer rate (DTR), because reduction in the effective size of the data to be transferred on the network leads to reduce the effective file transfer time and hence preserves the network energy.
