"
Energy in Wireless Networks"
An important issue in the design of wireless networks (e.g.,
"traditional" wireless networks, mobile ad hoc networks, wireless sensor
networks, etc) is to devise mechanisms to make efficient use of its
energy. Solutions for those networks must be energy-aware and
energy-efficient in order to make better use of the limited energy
supply. In this tutorial, we investigate the role of energy in the
modeling, design, and simulation of wireless network solutions. We
discuss models used to represent the energy consumption and how they
affect the design, analysis and simulation of wireless networks.
Then, we propose a taxonomy of energy saving techniques used by
protocols for wireless networks. Finally, we present some case studies
that illustrate how those techniques can be integrated into the
development of real wireless networks applications.
The tutorial will be presented at an introductory to intermediate level
aiming a broad audience consisting of graduate students, engineers and
researchers who are interested in the role of energy in
the design of solutions to wireless networks.
