In Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs), there is a tradeoff between QoS and energy consumption because in order to achieve maximum quality of services, maximum energy has to be consumed. In this paper we compare the impact of network size to provide a QoS in energy consumption for proactive and reactive routing protocols.

Mobile edge computing (MEC) sinks the functions and services of cloud to network provide users with storage resources. For workflow tasks, interdependency sequence constraint being among tasks make offloading strategy more complicated. To obtain optimal scheduling scheme for minimize total energy consumption system, a task based on an improved genetic algorithm is proposed in MEC multiple virtu...

energy and mass transfer investigations in thermal processing of fruits serve as a breakthrough in the design and scale up of drying systems. diffusivity characteristics and specific energy consumption for drying of fig fruit in a laboratory scale microwave dryer were assessed. several intervals for microwave power intensity including 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 w g-1, and 6 levels of power on-off ...

jujube (zizyphus jujube mill), a valuable medicinal plant, is consumed either as fresh fruit or dried product in iran. drying jujube guarantees a longer shelf time while preserving its quality to be used in medical and pharmaceutical industries. in this research paper, the influence of several drying conditions on the effective moisture diffusivity, activation energy, energy consumption and req...

the rice conversion process is an agricultural transformative industry that consumes a great deal of fossil fuel and electricity. in this study, the effect of different factors on energy consumption, energy consumption index and whitening index were investigated. the experimental design was a split plot design with four whitening periods (15, 30, 45, 60s) (main plot), three rice varieties (khaz...

objective: drying is one of the most important post-harvesting processes in agriculture. drying method and also drying time have an important effect on the amount of energy required. in this study analysis of energy consumption for drying corn in dryer reservoir with flow of warm air and the effect of the temperature and height of product layer on the amount of energy consumption per unit mass ...

As computing-intensive mobile applications become increasingly diversified, devices’ computing power is hard to keep up with demand. Mobile devices migrate tasks the Edge Computing (MEC) platform and improve performance of task processing through reasonable allocation caching resources on platform. Small cellular networks (SCN) have excellent short-distance communication capabilities, combinati...

As the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile devices have rapidly proliferated, their computationally intensive applications developed into complex, concurrent IoT-based workflows involving multiple interdependent tasks. By exploiting its low latency high bandwidth, edge computing (MEC) has emerged to achieve high-performance computation offloading these satisfy quality-of-service requirements de...

Abstract As a new form of computing based on the core technology cloud and built edge infrastructure, can handle computing-intensive delay-sensitive tasks. In mobile (MEC) assisted by 5G technology, offloading tasks devices to servers in network effectively reduce delay. Designing reasonable task strategy resource-constrained multi-user multi-MEC system meet users’ needs is challenge issue. ind...
