Purpose and goal
The CONVINcE project aimed at reducing power consumption during video streaming to a consumer. Sensitive´s role in the project has been to reduce the power consumption in the use case when a consumer in his apartment watches video in a terminal connected to the apartment´s WiFi accesspoint. Sensative has been able to show that it´s possible to connect, monitor and configure WiFi routers using smart algorithms integrated with our Yggio smart building platform so that each user has sufficient bandwidth and quality while also reducing power consumption.
Expected results and effects
Sensative and Lund University have shown that WiFi routers can be continuously re-configured in real time based on Quality of Service data. By doing so, we can not only reduce actual transmitter power from both routers and terminals, but we also create the conditions for moving traffic from mobile networks to WiFi, which, according to studies, can significantly reduce power consumption. Together with Lund University we have been able to demonstrate the function, improved QoS and reduced energy consumption. We have also been able to identify how the algorithms can evolve further.
Planned approach and implementation
Sensative has, as planned, developed a CNOM (Cognitive Network Operation and Management) service to monitor and control a WiFi network based on QoS parameters. Using algorithms from Lund University, we have then been able to validate the CNOM function in the test bed set up by the project at Orange premises.
