Abstract
The mobile applications, which depend on network activities, have significant effect on comparative battery lifetime. This thesis performs a study on power consumption for mobile Internet radio application with WLAN and 3G networks. Then we propose two proxy-based solutions to increase power savings: application layer and transparent proxy, where transparent proxy is applicable only for WLAN network condition. Though the proxy approach was not effective in 3G networks, but our experiment results reveal that our implemented proxies can save power maximum 65% and 57% respectively in WLAN condition, depending on the audio streaming rate.Description
