Consumed energy reduction techniques for cellular mobile & smartphones

Abstract

Modern day mobile technologies have taken wireless connectivity to a whole new level and now a mobile phone number is a universal identity. By de nition, 3G represents the convergence of various 2G wireless telecommunication systems into a single uniform global system which includes terrestrial and satellite components in its functioning. The 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards (used in 3G) provide some mechanisms for the cellular network operator and the mobile device to optimize some metrics, but to date, deployed methods to minimize energy consumption have left a lot to be desired. Many deployments have been done recently to minimize the energy consumed by mobile phones by not a ecting the quality of network as well. Many algorithms have been proposed for example TOP, TailEnder, MakeActive, MakeIdle etc. In this thesis we provide a study on these algorithms, mechanisms and their e ciencies to help overcoming further problems and research.
