Power management of a network by increasing a number of adjacent flows that share a computing device
First Claim
1. A method at least partially implemented by a computing device for power management of a network including a plurality of computing devices, the method comprising:
- identifying an order of flows between one or more computing devices within a prescribed time period;
reducing a number of wakeups for at least one computing device by increasing a number of adjacent flows that share a computing device; and
wherein the adjacent flows are associated with channel time allocation periods within a prescribed period.

Abstract
A power management technique for a network including a plurality of computing devices. The power management technique includes identifying an order in which one or more devices of the plurality of computing devices can transmit data within the prescribed time period. In one aspect, the number of wakeups are reduced for the computing devices within the network by increasing a number of adjacent channel time allocation periods within a prescribed time period that share a common computing device. In one aspect, the network can be based on Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA).

11. A computer readable storage media having computer readable instructions that when executed by a processor causes the processor to provide power management to a plurality of computing devices, by:
-
identifying an order of flows between one or more computing devices within a prescribed time period; reducing a number of wakeups for at least one computing device by increasing a number of adjacent flows that share a computing device and selecting a sequence of the flows that reduces the total number of computing device wakeups; obtaining a sequence of one or more computing devices, based on the sequence of the flows, that can transmit data within the prescribed time period; and wherein the power management is provided by reducing a number of wakeups for the computing devices within the network which is performed by increasing a number of associated channel time allocation periods within a prescribed time period that share a common computing device. - View Dependent Claims (12)
