This paper describes an overview of the optimal energy coordination/management
approaches for microgrids. The article presents the smart grid environment in conjunction …

The widespread proliferation of Internet and wireless applications has produced a significant
increase of ICT energy footprint. As a response, in the last years, significant efforts have …

Due to the accelerated evolution of application services, optical network virtualization
simplifies optical-layer resource management and provides flexibility in spectrum resource …

As a basis for meaningful simulation and optimization efforts with regard to traffic
engineering or energy consumption in telecommunication networks, suitable models are …

Access links that connect client networks to public networks have to carry multiple-type and
time-varying traffic. Those hybrid traffic flows compete for limited bandwidth, yet at the same …

This paper proposes a software-defined EPON architecture which replaces the hardware-
implemented DBA module with reprogrammable DBA module. The DBA module allows …

A novel method for estimating energy consumption of networks at the national scale is
presented. Accurate estimations of network energy consumption are increasingly important …

An energy-efficient scheme termed as load adaptive sequence arrangement (LASA) is
introduced. Based on changing the polling sequence of optical network units (ONUs) …

Energy efficiency is important for optical networks in terms of scalability, low-cost operation,
and sustainability. At the same time, optical networks play an important role in enabling …

Virtual topology reconfiguration addresses the issue of overprovisioning in IP-over-WDM
optical backbone networks. Contrary to maintaining a static virtual topology, adapting the …
