Collaborative overlay power management based on the delay-power tradeoffs

Achieving an energy-efficient home network while providing high quality user service is and will continue to be a significant need for the future residential environment. In this home network environment, numerous home appliances are widely used and also integrally turned on to contribute to the home network service. But these appliances are used partially in different service requirements. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a collaborative overlay power management system in which appliances can be partially turned on depending on the request of the services. Moreover, by learning a users behavior, the collaborative overlay power management could trend to minimize power consumption or trend to minimize the waiting delay. Regarding research on the different power consumption and waiting delay tradeoffs, our proposition allows for satisfying different user requirements on power consumption and waiting delay.
