Abstract
The growing complexity of mobile applications coupled with slow progress in the development of batteries has led to the requirement of energy-awareness in mobile devices. Nevertheless, no general solution exists for supporting energy-awareness across various mobile platforms and application domains. To address the above mentioned problems, we propose a middleware framework which utilizes the concept of application classification, and power estimation to accomplish application-specific power management, as well as providing basic support for active power management and fundamental services for energy-aware applications. To this end, we have implemented a basic prototype reflecting the functionalities of our framework, and evaluated it using mobile YouTube.
