Abstract
The proliferation of multimedia-capable mobile devices and ubiquitous high-speed network technologies to deliver multimedia objects has fueled the demand of mobile streaming multimedia. A necessary criterion for the mass acceptance of mobile devices is acceptable battery life of these devices. This paper explores linear prediction-based client-side strategies to reduce the wireless network interface card (WNIC) energy consumption by transitioning the WNIC to a lower power consuming sleep state. The basic idea of this strategy is to selectively choose proper periods of time to suspend communication by switching the WNIC to sleep state. A linear prediction-based time series forecasting technique is used to predict future no-data intervals. Simulation results show that linear prediction-based strategy gives better results than those based on simple averaging [Surendar Chandra et al., (2002)].
