Abstract

The Green Symbiotic Cloud Communications (GSCC) paradigm created on the concept of cloud communications facilitates the use of multiple communication mediums concomitantly. In this paper, we address the issue of formulating a cognitive decision function based on utility theory, which allows users with GSCC enabled devices to intelligently distribute its bandwidth requirement amongst the available communication mediums. The green and symbiotic approach entails the simultaneous use of multiple communication interfaces, enabling efficient resource utilization. The judiciously designed architecture allows multiple users to access multiple mediums concomitantly, for both uplink and downlink, via virtualized communication ports and Internet Protocol schematic. Design postulates for technological systems of future are proposed and GSCC is evolved using these concepts.
