Abstract

Energy efficient communication devices are essential to minimize the operational cost of future networks and to reduce the negative effects of global warming. In this paper we propose a novel energy reduction approach on network level that takes load-dependent energy consumption information of communication equipment into account. Case study calculation results show that energy savings of more than 35% and with it operational cost can be saved by applying energy profile aware routing.
