Abstract

In this paper we investigate the energy consumption and achievable data rates of commercially available mobiles phones using WLAN IEEE802.11bg for mobile peer to peer networking. In contrast to numerous data rate measurements for WLAN, not much attention was paid for the energy consumption using WLAN on mobile phones. The knowledge of the actual energy consumption is useful for any future protocol design. Therefore we present a solid measurement campaign looking into the energy spent in sending, receiving, and idle mode for unicast and broadcast traffic. We introduce our measurement testbed as well as the tools that have been used or implemented throughout this work.
