Green technology is the application of the environmental science to conserve the natural environment and resources, and to limit the negative impacts of human contribution. Energy efficient networks are major study topic, and the networking community is increasingly concern in environment and offering its care on approaches to save energy in the todays networks. The networks will require built-in energy efficiency capabilities. One of the greenest approaches to obtain energy efficiency is based on the initiation of network resources on demand, thus avoiding to always power on all the resources that are necessary to serve users during peak traffic periods. In response to the problem, this thesis will going to prove the reduction of power consumption by adopting resource on demand strategies in mid-size WLANs environment through green node and process model development and save 20 - 30% of power consumption.
