Network Energy Efficiency

Network energy efficiency focuses on minimizing the energy consumption of communication networks, particularly in resource-constrained environments like the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G networks. Current research emphasizes developing energy-efficient routing algorithms (e.g., leveraging directed Steiner trees), intelligent duty cycling management for IoT devices using machine learning techniques (like K-nearest neighbors), and innovative federated learning approaches (such as one-shot federated learning) to reduce communication overhead. These advancements are crucial for extending device lifespans, improving sustainability, and enabling the deployment of large-scale, energy-conscious networks in various applications.
