Support
of mobility is catalyst factor for use of wireless mesh networks (WMNs). They
are intended to replace wired backbone for making communication truly wireless.
With growing interest in WMNs, it can play significant contribution in
achieving objective of energy efficient communication. With need of meeting
acceptable qualities, networks are planned to support peak traffic demands. But
during low traffic periods many of resources are not utilized up to their full
capacity. A genetic algorithm based traffic consolidation approach has been
designed for WMN. Given traffic demands redundant nodes are identified and
allowed to sleep to minimize energy consumption. Tradeoff in saving by
switching off underutilized nodes and transmission or reception energy has been
considered. Results prove that significant energy can be saved by traffic
consolidation.
