Energy Harvesting Wireless Communications || Energy Harvesting in Next-Generation Cellular Networks
摘要： To handle the explosive growth of mobile traffic, next-generation cellular network will deploy more and more small-cell BSs (SBSs) in addition to the macro base stations (MBSs). The resultant network, namely, the heterogeneous network (HetNet), provides capacity boost on one hand but brings more energy consumption with the densely deployed SBSs on the other hand. In fact, due to the dynamics of wireless traffic load, many BSs are lightly loaded but almost work at their peak power, due to the elements like power amplifiers and supporting circuits. Unfortunately, these BSs can hardly be turned off for the coverage guarantee. To solve this problem, a new separation architecture called hyper-cellular network (HCN) is proposed, and the main idea is to decouple the function of control signaling from the function of data transmission, such that the data coverage can match the traffic dynamics in a more elastic way. Under HCN, SBSs are only utilized for high data rate transmission, whereas MBSs guarantee the network coverage and provide low data rate service. Therefore, SBSs can be turned off to save energy without worrying about the user coverage. To this end, its nature is to further power SBSs with renewable energy to save more grid power consumption. However, due to the randomness of renewable energy arrivals, it is challenging to manage wireless resource and the on-off states of energy harvesting (EH) BSs. It can be more challenging in HCN. First, diverse types of SBSs may be equipped with different kinds of energy sources, making the energy arrival statistically nonuniform over the space. In addition, the traffic load is nonevenly distributed across different base station (BS) tiers and also not in accordance with the energy arrivals over the spatial and temporal domains. To this end, on top of the techniques introduced in Chapter 4, in HCN the key to match the random energy arrival with the traffic load variation over time and space is to jointly optimize the working states of SBSs and the user traffic offloading. Although traffic offloading has been extensively studied in grid-powered cellular networks, the conventional offloading methods cannot be directly applied as they do not consider the energy states of BSs. Accordingly, energy-aware traffic offloading schemes are needed, and some energy-aware traffic offloading schemes have been proposed for single-tier homogeneous networks and two-tier HCN with one renewable energy-powered SBS, respectively. In the first part of the chapter, we will illustrate how to coordinate the on-off switching of SBSs with inter-tier traffic offloading, under the scenario with different types of SBSs, powered by various energy sources. The goal is to minimize the on-grid power consumption of the whole HCN system while satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirements of users. Another emerging technology of next-generation cellular networks is to exploit edge caching with proactive services, like push. While the initial motivation of proactive caching and push is to reduce the duplicated content transmissions, and thus reduce the core network traffic load as well as the content delivery delay, it is also beneficial to address the mismatch between the energy and traffic in renewable energy-powered SBSs. Specifically, the contents can be cached at the storage of SBSs and then pushed to users earlier than the actual demands when there is sufficient harvested energy. The users can successfully get the contents when they actually require it even if at that time the SBS does not have enough energy for transmission. Consequently, the energy waste due to the battery overflow can be avoided as the harvested energy can be used effectively and timely. It can be viewed as transferring the harvested energy along with the timeline to the future to match the random energy arrival with the traffic needs. In the second part of this chapter, we will demonstrate the concept of integrating proactive service provisioning with EH HCN and provide a detailed study on the optimal policy design for content push from an EH-based SBS.

摘要： Optical Burst Switching (OBS) networks provide a practical alternative to optical packet switching and optical circuit switching by separating control information from the primary data, sending the former on a separate control channel. However, this separation also renders OBS networks susceptible to a denial- or degradation-of-service attack (intentional or otherwise) when the data provisioned by a header packet on the control channel does not materialize. This paper addresses the problem of detecting and characterizing such problems and describes a method based on monitoring network traffic on the control and data channels. The method is evaluated on a publicly available dataset.

Laser Pouch Motors: Selective and Wireless Activation of Soft Actuators by Laser-powered Liquid-to-gas Phase Change
摘要： A joint optimization problem of link-layer energy efficiency (EE) and effective capacity (EC) in a Nakagami-m fading channel under a delay-outage probability constraint and an average transmit power constraint is considered and investigated in this paper. First, a normalized multi-objective optimization problem (MOP) is formulated and transformed into a single-objective optimization problem (SOP), by applying the weighted sum method. The formulated SOP is then proved to be continuously differentiable and strictly quasiconvex in the optimum average input power, which turns out to be a cup shape curve. Furthermore, the weighted quasiconvex tradeoff problem is solved by first using Charnes–Cooper transformation and then applying Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) conditions. The proposed optimal power allocation, which includes the optimal strategy for the link-layer EE-maximization problem and the EC-maximization problem as extreme cases, is proved to be sufficient for the Pareto optimal set of the original EE–EC MOP. Moreover, we prove that the optimum average power level monotonically decreases with the importance weight, but strictly increases with the normalization factor, the circuit power and the power amplifier efficiency. Simulation results confirm the analytical derivations and further show the effects of fading severeness and transmission power limit on the tradeoff performance.

摘要： This paper develops a notion of capacity–delay–error (CDE) boundaries as a performance model of networked sources and systems. The goal is to provision effective capacities that sustain certain statistical delay guarantees with a small probability of error. We use a stochastic non-equilibrium approach that models the variability of traffic and service to formalize the influence of delay constraints on the effective capacity. Permitting unbounded delays, known ergodic capacity results from information theory are recovered in the limit. We prove that the model has the property of additivity, which enables composing CDE boundaries obtained for sources and systems as if in isolation. A method for construction of CDE boundaries is devised based on moment-generating functions, which includes the large body of results from the theory of effective bandwidths. Solutions for essential sources, channels, and respective coders are derived, including Huffman coding, MPEG video, Rayleigh fading, and hybrid automatic repeat request. Results for tandem channels and for the composition of sources and channels are shown.

Investigating QoS and Performance of Received Signal Strength Indicator in Fiber Optics Broadband Data Communication
摘要： There has been an unusual drop of Fiber Optics Broadband (FOB) internet speed in certain localities in Ghana which severely affect users’ experience. This phenomenon have had a serious impact on the quality of service of internet delivery. This paper accessed the quality service of FOB wireless signal between the last mile cell site and the FOB wireless Access Point (AP). The essential components that the paper looked at were accessibility, availability and usability of FOB wireless signal which defines the QoS of a robust internet connection. This paper investigated the quality of FOB wireless signal and how lower antenna gain could affect the received signal strength of the FOB wireless AP. The study adopted three regulatory licensed indicators-Data Access Success Rate, Data Drop Rate and Data Throughput-in measuring accessibility, availability and usability of the received signal strength. A drive-test was conducted in five cities in Ghana where FOB services were available to assess the performance of the FOB wireless signal at peak and off-peak period. It was observed that the strength of the signal reduced significantly during peak hours; this phenomenon severely affected the QoS of the internet. Kalma’s filter and other communication techniques were used to analyze the results of the drive-test. The paper also provided conceptual framework which included suggestions and recommendations on how the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) could adopt new measures to improve and upgrade their communication infrastructure, to ensure users always have the most efficient and quality of internet service delivery through FOB.

摘要： Industrial networks demand centrally controlled quality of service (QoS), often in the form of hard real-time guarantees. Software-defined networking (SDN) provides a convenient paradigm for central QoS control. However, existing SDN-based solutions cannot guarantee hard real-time QoS as they rely on a control loop over the forwarding (data) and control planes. We propose a novel SDN-based QoS control framework that maintains an accurate network model through network calculus to avoid a control loop over forwarding and control planes, allocates resources to and routes flows over a network of “queue links,” whereby each physical network link houses multiple queue links (with different QoS levels), and manages QoS through a function split between delay-constrained least-cost routing on the network of queue links and the resource allocation to the queue links. This function split greatly reduces the computational complexity while achieving hard real-time QoS with high bandwidth utilization. Our evaluation results indicate that our function split approach allows for online runtime admission control and can achieve bandwidth utilization above 80% while meeting deterministic real-time QoS requirements.

摘要： An Enhanced-Internet that provides ultra-low-latency guaranteed-rate communications for Cloud Services is proposed. The network supports two traffic classes, the Smooth and Best-Effort classes. Smooth traffic flows receive low-jitter GR service over virtual-circuit-switched (VCS) connections with negligible buffering and queueing delays, up to 100% link utilizations, deterministic end-to-end quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees, and improved energy efficiency. End-to-end delays are effectively reduced to the fiber “time of flight.” A new router scheduling problem called the Bounded Normalized-Jitter integer-programming problem is formulated. A fast polynomial-time approximate solution is presented, allowing TDM-based router schedules to be computed in microseconds. We establish that all admissible traffic demands in any packet-switched network can be simultaneously satisfied with GR-VCS connections, with minimal buffering. Each router can use two periodic TDM-based schedules to support GR-VCS connections, which are updated automatically when the router's traffic rate matrix changes. The design of a Silicon-Photonics all-optical packet switch with minimal buffering is presented. The Enhanced-Internet can: 1) reduce router buffer requirements by factors of ; 2) increase the Internet's aggregate capacity; 3) lower the Internet's capital and operating costs; and 4) lower greenhouse gas emissions through improved energy efficiency.

摘要： Cloud computing is becoming an increasingly admired paradigm that delivers high-performance computing resources over the Internet to solve the large-scale scientific problems, but still it has various challenges that need to be addressed to execute scientific workflows. The existing research mainly focused on minimizing finishing time (makespan) or minimization of cost while meeting the quality of service requirements. However, most of them do not consider essential characteristic of cloud and major issues, such as virtual machines (VMs) performance variation and acquisition delay. In this paper, we propose a meta-heuristic cost effective genetic algorithm that minimizes the execution cost of the workflow while meeting the deadline in cloud computing environment. We develop novel schemes for encoding, population initialization, crossover, and mutations operators of genetic algorithm. Our proposal considers all the essential characteristics of the cloud as well as VM performance variation and acquisition delay. Performance evaluation on some well-known scientific workflows, such as Montage, LIGO, CyberShake, and Epigenomics of different size exhibits that our proposed algorithm performs better than the current state-of-the-art algorithms.
