Modeling the Energy Consumption of Upload Patterns on Smartphones and IoT Devices

In this letter, we provide the probabilistic analysis of the energy consumed by installed mobile apps when uploading data to the cloud based on the occurrence of random events during a given time interval. A polynomial algorithm to calculate the probability distribution of the energy they consume is obtained here. The validity of our approach is corroborated with a bound and simulation analysis, resorting to the use of real-world data.
