Abstract:
The performance gap between mobile phones and computers shrinks with advancing mobile phone technology. Powerful mobile devices with fast networking are capable of participating in overlay networks. However, a challenge is the limited power capacity of mobile devices, as networking is one of the most battery-draining functionality of mobile phones, yet essential for the participation in an overlay network. Thus, this paper proposes an energy-efficient relay mechanism. A buffered relaying mechanism with push notifications allows mobile phones to remain longer in the sleep mode. The evaluation confirms a reduction of the energy consumption. While only 6% of energy can be saved in WiFi, up to 28% less battery is consumed in a 3G cellular network. These insights are used for the prototypical implementation of a distributed file synchronization client on Android.
