چکیده
During the last decade mobile communications increasingly became part of people’s daily routine. Such usage raises new challenges regarding devices’ battery lifetime management when using most popular wireless access technologies, such as IEEE 802.11. This paper investigates the energy/delay trade-off of using an end-user driven power saving approach, when compared with the standard IEEE 802.11 power saving algorithms. The assessment was conducted in a real testbed using an Android mobile phone and high-precision energy measurement hardware. The results show clear energy benefits of employing user-driven power saving techniques, when compared with other standard approaches.

Towards Energy Efficient Multimedia Streaming to Mobile Devices
In the last few years the mobile devices have been increasingly used as part of the people daily routines. The Android smartphones and tablets are responsible for a large part of this increase and are used around the clock, causing the energy consumption in these devices to be a concern. Since these devices are most of the time connected to the Internet, the energy consumed by the IEEE 802.11 i...
متن کاملNWU - EECS - 10 - 09 August 20 , 2010 The End User in Computer Architecture and Systems Research
The ultimate goal of a computer design is to satisfy the end user. However, the design and optimization of computer architectures have largely left the user out of the loop. In this dissertation, I make the case that with modern computer architectures it is becoming increasingly important to take the end user into account. I then propose three specific aspects of the end user that should be exp...
