Abstract
Previous efforts to improve energy efficiency focused on
different network architecture components, aiming in
particular at increasing the operational time of
battery-powered devices. This paper argues that patching
elements of the current Internet architectural paradigm
are not sufficient for achieving major savings in the
overall network energy consumption. After reviewing the
main characteristics of current Internet use, including
the proliferation of broadband wireless and mobile
networks and the overwhelming role of dissemination
traffic, this paper examines their impact on energy
consumption and studies alternative WMAN scenarios.
Simulation results indicate that adopting a multiaccess
information-centric approach, can halve the overall
access network energy consumption and deliver the same
level of functionality to a larger number of Internet
devices. (24 refs.)
