Wi-Green: Optimization of the Power Consumption of Wi-Fi Networks Sensitive to Traffic Patterns

Abstract

Enterprise Wi-Fi networks have been increasingly considering energy efficiency. In this paper, we present the Wi-Green project wherein we are investigating new techniques and innovative solutions that will allow the minimization of the energy consumption in Wi-Fi networks. In Wi-Green we will consider an enterprise network, in which there is equipment from different vendors, with different ages and different consumption profiles.
