Energy-Efficient Mobile Network I/O
By year 2020, the number of smartphone users globally will reach 3 Billion
and the mobile data traffic (cellular + WiFi) will exceed PC Internet traffic
the first time. As the number of smartphone users and the amount of data
transferred per smartphone grow exponentially, limited battery power is
becoming an increasingly critical problem for mobile devices which heavily
depend on network I/O. Despite the growing body of research in power management
techniques for the mobile devices at the hardware layer as well as the lower
layers of the networking stack, there has been little work focusing on saving
energy at the application layer for the mobile systems during network I/O. In
this paper, we show that significant energy savings can be achieved with
application-layer solutions at the mobile systems during data transfer with no
performance penalty. In many cases, performance increase and energy savings can
be achieved simultaneously.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1707.0682
Energy-Efficient Mobile Network I/O Optimization at the Application Layer
Mobile data traffic (cellular + WiFi) will exceed PC Internet traffic by
2020. As the number of smartphone users and the amount of data transferred per
smartphone grow exponentially, limited battery power is becoming an
increasingly critical problem for mobile devices which depend on the network
I/O. Despite the growing body of research in power management techniques for
the mobile devices at the hardware layer as well as the lower layers of the
networking stack, there has been little work focusing on saving energy at the
application layer for the mobile systems during network I/O. In this paper, to
the best of our knowledge, we are first to provide an in-depth analysis of the
effects of application-layer data transfer protocol parameters on the energy
consumption of mobile phones. We propose a novel model, called FastHLA, that
can achieve significant energy savings at the application layer during mobile
network I/O without sacrificing the performance. In many cases, our model
achieves performance increase and energy saving simultaneously.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1805.03970 and substantial
