On/off sleep scheduling in energy efficient vehicular roadside infrastructure

Abstract

Smart downlink scheduling can be used to reduce infrastructure-to-vehicle energy costs in delay tolerant roadside networks. In this thesis this type of scheduling is incorporated into ON/OFF roadside unit sleep activity, to further reduce infrastructure power consumption. To achieve significant power savings however, the OFF-to-ON sleep transitions may be very lengthy, and this overhead must be taken into account when performing the scheduling. The OFF/ON sleep transitions are incorporated into a lower bound on energy use for the constant bit rate air interface case. An online scheduling algorithm referred to as the Flow Graph Sleep Scheduler (FGS) is then introduced which makes locally optimum ON/OFF cycle decisions. This is done by computing energy estimates needed both with and without a new OFF/ON cycle. The energy calculation can be efficiently done using a novel minimum flow graph formulation. We also consider the fixed transmit power, variable bit rate, air interface case. As before, a lower bound on RSU energy use is computed by formulat-

Deep Learning‐Based Service Scheduling Mechanism for GreenRSUs in the IoVs

“…Their idea is based on the artificial neural network and is composed of three algorithms to achieve the purpose of the green scheduler. In [11], the authors incorporate a sleep mechanism on grid-powered roadside units to further reduce power consumption. However, it is not fit for the renewable energy-powered RSUs.…”

“…Here, we propose a conception of service priority, defined as formula (11) (where we assume that the destination of each vehicle is known).…”

Energy-efficient data dissemination strategy for roadside infrastructure in VCPS

“…In [19], to obtain a energy-efficient data dissemination strategy, authors classify the energy efficiency problem into three categories and formulate them as a three-step optimization problem. In [20] and [21], two different on/off sleep data dissemination strategies are proposed. In these strategies, if there is no request received from vehicles, the roadside infrastructure works alternately between ON and OFF in a periodical manner to reduce the energy consumption.…”

Sleep-enabled roadside units for motorway vehicular networks

“…However, further operational energy savings in an RSU/BS may be possible by utilising sleep mechanisms, where the transmitting circuitry is switched off to set the transceiver into low energy state [4], [5], [6], [7]. Such sleep strategies could be impractical for 'base station only' scenarios due to the large coverage, long resource activation time and high overheads that may arise from the ping-pong effect of consistently turning a BS ON and OFF [8].…”
