Green Symbiotic Cloud Communications—Theory and Experimentation

The cloud communications concept supported by the Green Symbiotic Cloud Communications (GSCC) paradigm is theoretically and mathematically modelled in this chapter. The aim is to maximize the throughput of communications infrastructure through all connected communication links with characterization of corresponding operational power dynamics. The GSCC paradigm is subsequently verified by both simulation and experimental results. The simulation is performed by a GSCC simulator, to accommodate the joint operation of all existing communication standards (viz. LTE eNodes, Wi-Fi Access Points etc.). The concept of cloud communications is physically realized and experimentally tested by developing a working prototype of GSCC paradigm. The paradigm is tested with incorporation in all the existing communication standards. The results demonstrate the basic advantage offered by the GSCC paradigm—unified and integrated usage of all available resources in a virtualized and abstract environment.
