“…Their study discusses the contribution of the components on the access point to the overall energy consumption. Park et al [21] and Virolainen and Saaranen [22] have looked for solutions to lower the power use of home networks. Park et al introduced a system that can effectively save energy by applying a small embedded system through remote control use on a smart phone, while Virolainen and Saaranen examined using UPnP low power which allows devices in power saving modes to be discovered and woken up.…”

Home networking is becoming increasingly sophisticated as users connect ever more networked devices. In the past, home networks typically consisted of a simple router and maybe a few computers. Now, high speed wireless networks are commonplace in homes with a large number of devices: TVs, game consoles, home theater systems, and even home automation systems. This is in addition to standard computing devices such as desktops, laptops, tablets, smart phones and network-attached storage. Smart homes with many wireless sensors to improve quality of life are also emerging. However, home network devices such as routers and broadband modems have been designed for maximum performance with limited consideration of energy optimization when the devices are idle or serving low bandwidth traffic. The goal of this paper is to analyze network activity of wireless home routers, investigate opportunities for energy saving, and present mechanisms for improving the energy efficiency of wireless home routers. We analyzed five week-long traces of home network traffic and identified a number of energy saving opportunities. Through detailed trace-based simulation and implementation measurements we are able to reduce the wireless energy consumption of the home router by 12-59% while incurring only minor delay of the initial packet delivery after leaving the low energy state. Modification of an actual router's behavior shows that the proposed energy optimizations are feasible with existing clients.

“…They aim more at monitoring, controlling, and automating the attached device. Authors in [16] developed a wireless networked node for measuring the power consumption at the outlet, while authors in [12] developed an embedded sensor network node for monitoring the electricity consumption. Similarly, these designs require the installation of additional hardware.…”

Consumer domain energy management systems or home energy management system (HEMS) is largely neglected in existing practical smart grid EMS studies. This paper presents a practical HEMS that supports various existing and emerging actors. Some of the proposed features include the support of automatic and manual scheduling and control of the devices, continuous monitoring and efficient notification. The goal of the design is to achieve optimized performance under dynamic situations. For better understanding and implementation of the concepts behind our proposed design, detailed Use Case diagrams of the various actors and their functionalities are presented. A substantial amount of peak shaving/shifting is observed using the proposed application.

Home networking is becoming increasingly sophisticated as users connect ever more networked devices. In the past, home networks typically consisted of a simple router and maybe a couple of computers. Now, Gigabit and high speed wireless networks are commonplace in homes with many devices: TVs, Blu-ray players, game consoles, home theater receivers, and even home automation systems. This is in addition to standard computing devices such as desktops, laptops, e-book readers, smart phones and network attached storage. Smart homes with many wireless sensors to improve quality of life are also emerging. However, home network devices such as routers, switches, and broadband modems have been designed for maximum performance with limited consideration of energy optimizations when the devices are idle or serving low bandwidth traffic. The goal of this paper is to analyze the network activity of wireless home routers, investigate energy optimization opportunities, and present mechanisms for improving the energy efficiency of wireless home routers.
