DOC-03-2A Evaluating Energy Saving Techniques in Networks
This technical report investigates strategies for reducing energy consumption in wired networks using OSPF routing simulations. By testing three different scenarios—ranging from a baseline of all routers active to "smart sleeping" techniques that divert traffic—the study identifies that while power usage can be reduced by 0.32% by idling inactive nodes, poorly selected node sleeping can actually increase consumption by 28% due to inefficient routing.

DOC-03-FYP SDN-Based Handoff Management for Hybrid Terrestrial-LEO Satellite Networks in Rural and Disaster Relief Areas
FINAL YEAR PROJECT (Dissertation)

This project investigates the viability of a hybrid network architecture, combining standard terrestrial broadband with a Low Earth Orbit satellite backhaul to provide resilient, continuous connectivity. To manage the routing across this hybrid topology, a Software-Defined Networking approach was utilised via a virtualised testbed and custom Ryu controller.
