Energy Efficiency of Mobile Devices Using Fuzzy Logic Control by Exponential Weight with Priority-Based Rate Control in Multi-Radio Opportunistic Networks

Abstract

The rapid development of mobile devices and wireless network technologies have made them indispensable. This has created a demand for faster networks and longer battery life. The assurance of a stable network service and the enhancement of network experiences for mobile devices is equally crucial to meeting these demands. To address these challenges, mobile devices employ various techniques to decrease power consumption when they connect to wireless networks. Moreover, enhancing the endurance of mobile devices to maintain stable network services is critical when using wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a dual-radio opportunistic network for energy efficiency (DRONEE)–exponential weight with priority-based on rate control (WPRC) method which can extend and enhance the DRONEE hybrid network. By leveraging fuzzy logic control (FLC) and quality of service (QoS), our proposed method effectively solves the weighting problem in the DRONEE–weight (DRONEE–W) method. Through efficient allocation of network resources within each cluster, we minimize resource wastage and maximize resource utilization. Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of our DRONEE–WPRC method in terms of throughput, buffer size, delay time, and power consumption compared to other methods. Therefore, our proposed method achieves optimal network resource allocation and energy efficiency.
