Abstract
Nowadays, wireless data connections (2G, 3G and WiFi) have been the main- stream technologies for accessing Internet on modern mobile devices. However, users aware that heavy use of data transmission for web access via wireless interfaces leads battery life drain badly. In order to extend battery life time and improve user experience, we present the solution for offering "energy-efficiency web access on mobile devices". A new compression strategy named selective-compression is introduced as an improvement of traditional HTTP compression in this thesis. The selective-compression strategy can properly handle binaries of web contents. And its mechanism relies on client/remote proxy pair structure. From analysis of the experiment results, we make conclusion that the selective-compression strategy can bring nice benefits for energy saving and delay deduction on mobile devices while accessing web pages that include massive binaries. Furthermore, we give the suggestion to web developers and web service providers about how to create energy-efficient web pages.Description
