Minimization of power consumption in IP networks

This paper proposes an energy-aware packet delivery operation through network node clustering for green communications. Energy consumption has become a key factor for the evaluation of performance index in telecommunication industry. In order to prevent a waste of energy in wired network, the proposed algorithm configures energy-aware cluster consisting of one header node and multiple member nodes. Then only the header node performs packet routing and its member nodes forward packet using tag. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm introduces more energy efficient performance than previous works.
