==FIRST NODE, SECOND NODE, THIRD NODE, AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK TO HANDLE A PATH FOR A PACKET - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137834 titled 'FIRST NODE, SECOND NODE, THIRD NODE, AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK TO HANDLE A PATH FOR A PACKET

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method where a node in a communications network obtains efficiency measures of power use from other nodes along different paths in the network to select the best path for a packet.

* The method involves a first node in a communications network obtaining efficiency measures of power use from other nodes.
* The first node then selects the best path for a packet based on the obtained efficiency measures.
* The efficiency measures are used to optimize power consumption in the network.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in:
* Energy-efficient routing in communication networks.
* Improving overall network performance by selecting optimal paths based on power efficiency measures.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology addresses the following issues:
* Power consumption optimization in communication networks.
* Efficient routing of packets to reduce energy usage.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:
* Reduced energy consumption in communication networks.
* Improved network performance and reliability.
* Cost savings through optimized power usage.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimized Power Efficiency Routing in Communication Networks

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of traditional routing algorithms that do not take power efficiency into account.

=== What are the potential impacts of this technology on energy consumption in communication networks? ===

This technology has the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption in communication networks by optimizing the routing of packets based on power efficiency measures.

=== How does this method compare to existing routing algorithms in terms of performance and energy efficiency? ===

This method is expected to outperform traditional routing algorithms by considering power efficiency measures in addition to performance metrics, leading to improved energy efficiency in communication networks.
