Abstract

The Information and Communication Technology sector is considered to be a major consumer of energy and has become an active participant in Green House Gas emissions. Lots of efforts have been devoted to make network infrastructure and network protocols power-aware and green. Among these efforts, Adaptive Link Rate (ALR) is one of the most widely discussed approaches. This survey highlights the most recent ALR approaches with a brief taxonomy and the state of the art.
