Power Consumption Optimization: A Cognitive Radio Approach

He, An 10 March 2011 (has links)
Power consumption is one of the most important aspects in mobile and wireless communications. Existing research has shown significant power reduction through limited radio reconfiguration based on the channel conditions, especially for short range sensor network applications. A cognitive radio (CR) is an intelligent wireless communication system which is able to determine the most favorable operating parameters (cognition) based on the radio environment and its own capabilities and characteristics (awareness) and reconfigure the radio accordingly (reconfigurability). This work leverages the advances in cognitive radio technology to dynamically implement favorable trade-offs in radio parameters to achieve more efficient use of radio resource (e.g., minimizing power consumption) on the required Quality of Service (QoS) of an application and channel. A CR-based approach enables us not only to adjust modulation, coding, and radiated power as in a conventional radio, but also to learn and to control component characteristics (e.g., the power amplifier (PA) efficiency characteristic) to minimize power consumption. Significant power savings using this approach are shown in this work for single input single output (SISO) systems and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. This work has a broad potential impact on the research of improving power efficiency of communication systems. It establishes a cognitive radio based methodology for system power consumption optimization. It emphasizes the difference between radiated power (power radiated from the transmit antenna) and the consumed power (power drawn from the power source, such as a battery). It provides a way to connect communication (which usually cares about radiated power, received signal to noise ratio, etc.) to hardware (which focuses on speed, efficiency, power consumption, etc.) and software (which emphasizes complexity, speed, etc.). This design methodology enhances the capability to jointly optimize communication, hardware, and software. In addition, this CR-based framework can be adapted for general radio resource management with various radio operation optimization targets, such as spectrum utilization. / Ph. D.

Modeling of Power Consumption and Fault Tolerance for Electronic Textiles

Sheikh, Tanwir Abdulwahid 22 October 2003 (has links)
The developments in textile technology now enable the weaving of conductive wires into the fabrics. This allows the introduction of electronic components such as sensors, actuators and computational devices on the fabrics, creating electronic textiles (e-textiles). E-textiles can be either wearable or non-wearable. However, regardless of their form, e-textiles are placed in a tightly constrained design space requiring high computational performance, limited power consumption, and fault tolerance. The purpose of this research is to create simulation models for power consumption and fault behavior of e-textile applications. For the power consumption model, the power profile of the computational elements must be tracked dynamically based upon the power states of the e-textile components. For the fault behavior model, the physical nature of the e-textile and the faults developed can adversely affect the accuracy of results from the e-textile. Open and short circuit faults can disconnect or drain the battery respectively, affecting both battery life and the performance of the e-textile. This thesis describes the development of both of these models and their interfaces. It then presents simulation results of the performance of an acoustic beamforming e-textile in the presence and absence of faults, using those results to explore the battery life and fault tolerance of several battery configurations. / Master of Science

Confidence Interval Estimation for Distribution Systems Power Consumption by Using the Bootstrap Method

Cugnet, Pierre 17 July 1997 (has links)
The objective of this thesis is to estimate, for a distribution network, confidence intervals containing the values of nodal hourly power consumption and nodal maximum power consumption per customer where they are not measured. The values of nodal hourly power consumption are needed in operational as well as in planning stages to carry out load flow studies. As for the values of nodal maximum power consumption per customer, they are used to solve planning problems such as transformer sizing. Confidence interval estimation was preferred to point estimation because it takes into consideration the large variability of the consumption values. A computationally intensive statistical technique, namely the bootstrap method, is utilized to estimate these intervals. It allows us to replace idealized model assumptions for the load distributions by model free analyses. Two studies have been executed. The first one is based on the original nonparametric bootstrap method to calculate a 95% confidence interval for nodal hourly power consumption. This estimation is carried out for a given node and a given hour of the year. The second one makes use of the parametric bootstrap method in order to infer a 95% confidence interval for nodal maximum power consumption per customer. This estimation is realized for a given node and a given month. Simulation results carried out on a real data set are presented and discussed. / Master of Science

Forecasting the monthly electricity consumption of municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal.

Walton, Alison Norma. January 1997 (has links)
Eskom is the major electricity supplier in South Africa and medium term forecasting within the company is a critical activity to ensure that enough electricity is generated to support the country's growth, that the networks can supply the electricity and that the revenue derived from electricity consumption is managed efficiently. This study investigates the most suitable forecasting technique for predicting monthly electricity consumption, one year ahead for four major municipalities within Kwa-Zulu Natal. / Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 1997.
