摘要: The tremendously rapid evolution of wireless networks into the next generation heterogeneous broadband and mobile has necessitated emergence multiradio, infrastructure. These infrastructural technologies have been designed in such a manner so as to enable them be self-organized, self-configured, reliable robust, with capacity that sustains high traffic volumes long “online” time. However, desired networking complex features resulted unnecessary network energy consumption, impacting negatively on economy, environment ICT markets. In order reduce potential consumption these networks, this paper proposes novel management scheme based behavioral ecology. Inspired by applied foraging theory, whereby solitary forager random ecosystem makes optimal decisions maximizes its (nutrients) survival probability lifetime; Foraging-Inspired Radio-Communication Energy Management (FIREMAN) method developed. FIREMAN achieves both lifetime multi-radio Wi-Fi networks. efficacy new extensively validated through computer simulations throughput performance.
