Energy-Efficient Communication Networks is essential for anyone looking to understand and implement cutting-edge energy optimization strategies for communication systems, ensuring they meet growing energy demands while seamlessly integrating renewable energy sources and enhancing battery life in embedded applications.

Renewable energy, including solar, wind, and geothermal energy, for communication networks is a key area of exploration for meeting the demands of their increasing energy requirements. Scheduling and power cycle optimization are instrumental in deciding the effectiveness of these networks. Apart from communication, embedded systems running on batteries designed for data processing applications also face restrictions in terms of battery life—targeting low-energy consumption-based systems is particularly important here. The increased usage of sensor networks for personal and commercial applications has resulted in a surge of development to create energy-aware protocols and algorithms.

This book introduces energy optimization concepts for current and future communication networks and explains how to optimize electricity for wireless sensor networks and incorporate renewable energy sources into conventional communication networks. It gives readers a better understanding of the difficulties, limitations, and possible bottlenecks that may occur while developing a communication system under power constraints, as well as insights into the traditional and recently developed communication systems from an energy optimization point of view.

This book presents a comprehensive study of all important aspects of tribology. It covers issues and their remedies adopted by researchers working on automobile systems. The book is broadly divided in to three sections, viz. (i) new materials for automotive applications, (ii) new lubricants for automotive applications, and (iii) impact of surface morphologies for automotive applications. The rationale for this division is to provide a comprehensive and categorical review of the developments in automotive tribology. The book covers tribological aspects of engines, and also discusses influence of new materials, such as natural fibers, metal foam materials, natural fiber reinforced polymer composites, carbon fiber/silicon nitride polymer composites and aluminium matrix composites. The book also looks at grease lubrication, effectiveness and sustainability of solid/liquid additives in lubrication, and usage of biolubricants. In the last section the book focuses on brake pad materials, shot peening method, surface texturing, magnetic rheological fluid for smart automobile brake and clutch systems, and application of tribology in automobile systems. This book will be of interest to students, researchers, and professionals from the automotive industry.
