HOPE: HOme Power Efficiency System for a Green Network
In: INFOCOM'2013 Demo/Poster Session (INFOCOM'2013 - Demo/Poster Session), Turin, Italy.
A home network represents an increasingly large portion of
a household's electrical consumption due to the increasing
number of digital home devices and the increasing
complexity of the underlying communication infrastructure.
Limiting a home network's power consumption is a priority
for institutions and consumers. In this demonstration, we
proposed a solution that aims at reducing power consumption
at both the device and network level. At the device level,
our system can turn the devices off or on according to
their usage. At the network level, the solution is based on
a inter-MAC layer to choose a greener path.
