In the evolving landscape of business networks, the imperative to optimize power consumption has become paramount, particularly within the context of mixed wireless environments. This study introduces a novel approach to enhancing energy efficiency through cooperative communication strategies, tailored for heterogeneous networks that comprise a mix of cellular, Wi-Fi, and other wireless technologies. The core proposition of this research lies in leveraging the inherent diversity and redundancy in mixed wireless environments to facilitate energy-efficient communication. By employing advanced cooperative communication techniques, such as relay-assisted transmission and network coding, the proposed method significantly reduces the power required for data transmission and reception across various network segments. The methodology encompasses a comprehensive framework that models the network as a unified system, enabling the identification and exploitation of opportunities for power savings without compromising communication reliability or throughput. A set of sophisticated algorithms underpins the proposed framework, ensuring optimal decision-making regarding routing, resource allocation, and mode selection in real-time. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through rigorous simulation studies, which demonstrate substantial improvements in power efficiency compared to conventional communication strategies. The results highlight the potential of cooperative communication in achieving sustainable and energy-efficient business networks, paving the way for greener and more cost-effective operations in mixed wireless environments.
