Abstract

Abstract: The burst data transfer will lead to 3G migration from the low-power state to high-power state, and frequent switching exacerbates the energy consumption. We analyze 3G network communication behavior and give a low-power strategy based on delayed awakening 3G network for smartphone. The strategy classifies packages according to the delay-sensitivity, and delays sending packet for different intervals so as to reduce the energy consumption. Simulation results show that the proposed mechanism effectively reduces the power consumption of the system and has the strong feasibility.

Key words: 3G network, low power, communication behavior
