MSc by Research in Electronic and Electrical Engineering - Communication Networks and Systems

University of Leeds

Energy-efficient communication systems and networks – our research s supported by a £5.9m EPSRC programme grant. Our work has been taken up by a number of industrial partners, most notably the GreenTouch consortium. It covers the following areas: Improving energy efficiency in core IP over WDM networks considering core networks with data centres, elastic optical networks, video content caching networks, peer-to-peer and cloud networks, virtualised, software-defined and information-centric networks, next-generation routing protocols, and network carbon footprint reduction through optimum use of renewable energy. Energy-efficient IoT networks using cloud technology and resource virtualization. Energy-efficient Cloud networks providing intelligent cloud networks for different cloud services. Energy-efficient data centre networks: providing novel optical interconnectivity inside data centres using state of the art optical components.
