A Network Level Power Management for Home Network Devices

This paper proposes a network level power management based on the energy-aware plug and play (EPnP) for home network devices. The power management can reduce the power consumption of devices by reconfiguring power control elements of each device depending on a service collaborating with many devices in the home network. It also can reduce the power consumption of devices without user intervention by EPnP technique. It can provide a power reduction at network level by a fine grain power control based on home network services.
