The concept of energy-efficient networking has begun to spread in the past few years, gaining increasing popularity. A common opinion among networking researchers is that the sole introduction of low consumption silicon technologies may not be enough to effectively curb energy requirements. Thus, for disruptively boosting the network energy efficiency, these hardware enhancements must be integrated with ad-hoc mechanisms that explicitly manage energy saving, by exploiting network-specific features. The IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard is one of such efforts. EEE introduces a low power mode for the most common Ethernet physical layer standards and is expected to provide large energy savings. However, it has been shown that EEE may not achieve good energy efficiency because mode transition overheads can be significant, leading to almost full energy consumption even at low utilization levels. Coalescing techniques such as packet coalescing and interrupt coalescing were proposed to improve energy efficiency of EEE, but their implementations typically adopt a simple policy that employs a few fixed values for coalescing parameters, thus it is difficult to achieve optimal energy efficiency. The paper proposes adaptive interrupt coalescing (AIC) that adopts an optimal policy that could not only improve energy efficiency but support performance. AIC has been implemented at the sender side with the Intel 82579 network interface card (NIC) and e1000e Linux device driver. The experiments were performed at 100 M bps transfer rate and show that energy efficiency of AIC is improved in most cases despite performance consideration and in the best case can be improved up to 37% compared to that of conventional interrupt coalescing techniques.

This paper compared a Modified C-dump converter and energy efficient converter topologies, derived from the conventional C-dump converter, for switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives. The proposed topologies overcome the limitations of the conventional C-dump converter, and could reduce the whole cost of the SRM drive. Also, the above converters have simple control requirements; and allow the motor phase current to freewheel during chopping mode. Specially, the voltage ratings of the dump capacitor and some of the switching devices in the proposed an Energy efficient C-dump converter is reduced to the supply voltage ($V_{dc}$) level compared to twice the supply voltage ($2V_{dc}$) in the conventional C-dump converter. Simulation and experimental results of the proposed converters are presented and verified.

New insights about macro-step formation has been investigated. The phenomena of surface instability caused by the interaction between step flow and fluid flow was describe in mechanical way. The rotation of the seed crystal in a clockwise direction was applied with a speed varied from 30 to 200 rpm during the TSSG process on the Si- and C-faces 4H-SiC. The macro-steps were formed along the two specific directions at different locations on the crystal for each, i.e., [10-10] or [01-10] directions or both. From the results, it is suggested that the macro-steps were generated from the micro-steps by interaction between step flow and fluid flow during the rotation of seed crystal. Furthermore, The fluid flow could be effective to control the micro- and/or macro-step behavior during solution growth.

본 논문에서는 WSN(Wireless Sensor Networks)을 구성함에 있어 에너지 소비효율이 우수한 MAC 프로토콜을 제안하고자 한다. WSN은 매우 작은 크기의 단말에 무선통신모듈, MPU, 센싱모듈 등을 탑재하고 환경데이터를 측정하며 이를 자가망 구성을 통해 수신단으로 전송하는 기술을 말한다. 이러한 WSN에서 사용되는 단말은 에너지자원이 한정적인 단점이 있으며, 이를 극복하기 위한 효율적인 네트워크 운영이 최근 주요 이슈로 등장하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 S-MAC을 개선하여 네트워크를 구성하는 단말들이 보다 효율적으로 에너지를 소모하도록 유도함으로써 네트워크 상태에 맞는 스케줄링과 데이터 전송이 이루어지게 하는 방법을 제안한다.

To address challenges of an unprecedented growth in mobile data traffic, the ultra-dense network deployment is a cost efficient solution to off-load the traffic over other small cells. However, the real traffic is often much lower than the peak-hour traffic and certain small cells are superfluous, which will not only introduce extra energy consumption, but also impose extra interference onto the radio environment. In this paper, an elastic energy efficient cell management scheme is proposed based on flow scheduling among multi-layer ultra-dense cells by a SDN controller. A significant power saving was achieved by a cell-level energy manager. The scheme is elastic for energy saving, adaptive to the dynamic traffic distribution in the office or campus environment. In the end, the performance is evaluated and demonstrated. The results show substantial improvements over the conventional method in terms of the number of active BSs, the handover times, and the switches of BSs.

Mobile Cloud Computing has become a promising computing platform. It moves users' data to the centralized large data centers for users' mobile devices to conveniently access. Since the data storage service may not be fully trusted, many public verification algorithms are proposed to check the data integrity. However, these algorithms hardly consider the huge computational burden for the verifiers with resource-constrained mobile devices to execute the verification tasks. We propose an energy-efficient algorithm for assigning verification tasks (EEAVT) to optimize the energy consumption and assign the verification tasks by elastic and customizable ways. The algorithm prioritizes verification tasks according to the expected finish time of the verification, and assigns the number of checked blocks referring to devices' residual energy and available operation time. Theoretical analysis and experiment evaluation show that our algorithm not only shortens the verification finish time, but also decreases energy consumption, thus improving the efficiency and reliability of the verification.

무선 센서 네트워크에서는 기본적으로 교환이나 충전이 어려운 베터리로 동작하는 센서 노드들로 구성된다. 따라서 센서 노드들의 에너지 소모를 줄이는 것이 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 중요한 과제이다. 이러한 에너지 효율적인 MAC 프로토콜을 구현하기 위해 기존의 IEEE 802.11 Protocol을 기반으로 휴면 기간의 에너지를 효율적으로 관리하는 Sensor MAC(이하 S-MAC) Protocol이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 효율적 스케줄링 기반의 기존 S-MAC을 기반으로 네트워크 트래픽에 동적으로 동작하기 위한 동적 S-MAC을 제안하였다. 동적 S-MAC 프로토콜은 네트워크 트래픽 상황에 따라 프레임 주기를 변경함으로써 S-MAC의 에너지 효율을 개선하였다. NS2 시뮬레이션을 통해 동적 S-MAC과 기존 S-MAC의 성능을 평가하였다.

CdS nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized in an aqueous phase in order to investigate their spectral behaviors as efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) donors for various organic dye acceptors. Our prepared CdS NPs exhibiting strong and broad emission spectra between 480-520 nm were able to transfer energy in a wide wavelength region from green to red fluorescence dyes. Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G), rhodamine B (RhB), and sulforhodamine 101 acid (Texas red) were tested as acceptors of the energy transfer from the CdS NPs. The three dyes and synthesized CdS NPs exhibited good FRET behaviors as acceptors and donors, respectively. Energy transfers from the CdS NPs and organic Cy3 dye were compared to the same acceptor Texas red dye at different concentrations. Our prepared CdS NPs appeared to exhibit better FRET behaviors comparable to those of the Cy3 dye. These CdS NPs in an aqueous solution may be efficient FRET donors for various organic dyes in a wide wavelength range between green and red colors.
