  Abstract

Wireless LAN (WLAN) interface is one of the major sources drastically depleting the battery power of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Most commercial mobile devices employ a power saving technique putting their WLAN interface into a sleep state when there is no network traffic, and thereby, save the battery power. However, since an access point (AP) just transmits the packet(s) received from a server to the corresponding mobile device immediately, it may cause a problem that the mobile device constantly remains in an awake state so that its battery power is rapidly drained. In this paper, we point out this problem and propose a new scheme that can save the mobile device"s battery power with an adaptive packet scheduling at the AP side. From the experimental results based on a testbed, we found that the proposed scheme outperforms existing schemes over 50% in terms of power saving.
