FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT FOR IMPROVING THE WIRELESS NETWORK LIFETIME IN MOBILE POWER SHARING NETWORKS

Power is a limited resource in wireless communications and mobile networking in day to day life. The aim of this research is to propose a novel concept of mobile energy sharing networks to enhance the energy usage of wireless networks. In such networks, mobile users can share energy with one another when they move and meet, thus minimizing the chances of ending up with insufficient energy for their consumption. This concept is similar to the notion of opportunistic mobile social networks in which the users can share information when they travel and encounter each other. To optimize the operation of the proposed network, a performance analysis and optimization framework modified toward mobile energy sharing networks is developed. The policy obtained from the first component is applied such that the matched users achieve the minimum energy outage probability. An extensive performance evaluation of the proposed mobile sharing networks and framework is conducted in order to highlight their potential benefits. Simulation results have shown the various advantages of the proposed framework like the stable matchings among users can reduce the energy outage probability.
