Capacity can be increased by employing small cells in future mobile networks. When small cells are considered, a large number of base stations have to be deployed. This approach enlarges network infrastructures and increases the amount of energy consumption. Traffic demand in a mobile network is not fixed in time or space, and it cannot be accurately predicted in advance. Network functions such as base station scheduling, cell zooming or user-to-base-station association can be dynamically controlled to conserve energy. Base station scheduling is defined as deciding whether or not to keep a base station active depending on traffic demand. The coverage area of a base station can be adapted to demand that is referred to as cell zooming. User-to-base-station association can be dynamically configured to adjust the load of base stations for reducing energy consumption. Most of the related work in the literature consider these problems separately. In this thesis, we present a joint base station scheduling, zooming and user association technique. The major contribution of this thesis is reducing power consumption by turning off redundant base stations and adapting transmit power of active base stations to network conditions for maintaining quality of service and satisfying users. We formulated the joint optimization problem with the objective of reducing energy consumption and enhancing user satisfaction. We validated the proposed technique by using MATLAB optimization toolbox. In this work, we reduced energy consumption by 47% in comparison to the state-of-the-art solution.

Joint Virtual Machine Embedding and Wireless Data Center Topology Management
Butun, Beyza; Onur, Ertan (2021-01-01)
© 2021 IFIP.Data Center Networks (DCNs) have become critical infrastructures with the enormous increase in the amount of data generated. This increase introduces some problems in DCNs such as high cabling complexity, high-level power consumption, low space utilization, and oversubscription. Wireless DCNs (WDCNs) address these problems by decreasing cabling complexity and power consumption and increasing space utilization thanks to their incorporation of wireless communication technologies. Moreover, with it...
A density-aware, energy- and spectrum efficient scheduling model for dynamic networks
Mollahasani, Shahra; Onur, Ertan; Department of Computer Engineering (2019)
Future mobile networks have to be densified by employing small cells to handle the upsurge in traffic load. Although the amount of energy each small cell consumes is low, the total energy consumption of a large-scale network may be enormous. To enhance the energy efficiency, we have to adapt the number of active base stations to the offered traffic load. Deactivating base stations may cause coverage holes, degrade the quality of service and throughput while redundant base stations waste energy. That is why ...
Cooperative Density Estimation in Random Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
Onur, Ertan; Niemegeers, Ignas (2012-03-01)
Density estimation is crucial for wireless ad hoc networks for adequate capacity planning. Protocols have to adapt their operation to the density since the throughput in an ad hoc network approaches asymptotically to zero as the density increases. A wireless node can estimate the global density by using local information such as the received power from neighbors. In this paper, we propose a cross layer protocol to compute the density estimate. The accuracy of the estimate can be enhanced and its variance ca...
Evaluation of Terahertz Channel in Data Centers
MOLLAHASANİ, Shahram; Onur, Ertan (2016-04-29)
Designing data center network topologies with the objective of minimizing cost, increasing bisection bandwidth and decreasing latency is a difficult problem. The solutions in the literature mainly concentrate on wired networks and minimizing wiring costs thereof. Only a few proposals address the benefit of employing wireless communications in data centers due to spectrum and bandwidth limitations of current wireless communication technologies. By using terahertz communication in a data center as a complemen...
Methods for location prediction of mobile phone users
Keleş, İlkcan; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
Due to the increasing use of mobile phones and their increasing capabilities, huge amount of usage and location data can be collected. Location prediction is an important task for mobile phone operators and smart city administrations to provide better services and recommendations. In this work, we have investigated several approaches for location prediction problem including clustering, classification and sequential pattern mining. We propose a sequence mining based approach for location prediction of mobil...
