Title
Green Footprint by Cognitive Management of Opportunistic Networks
Abstract
The existing characteristics of the wireless networks nowadays, urgently impose the exploitation of flexible networking solutions that will offer increased efficiency in resource utilization and application Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning and at the same time will reduce the energy consumption and achieve green targets. In this respect, Operator-governed Opportunistic Networks (ONs), which are dynamically created, temporary, coordinated extensions of the infrastructure, are the basic constituents in the proposed approach. In addition, Cognitive Management Systems (CMSs), which comprise self-management and learning capabilities, can be exploited for ensuring fast and reliable establishment of ONs, achieving efficiently the desired goals. This paper presents the concept of ONs and their representative scenarios, as well as an evaluation of indicative test cases as a proof of concept of the aforementioned approach. Indicative simulation results are presented, which yield the conditions in which the adoption of such a solution can lead to lower costs and management decisions with a "greener" footprint.
