Abstract-Due to the tremendous enhancements in the capabilities of mobile devices in recent years and accessibility to higher bandwidth mobile internet, the use of online multimedia learning resources on mobile devices is increasingly becoming popular. Improvements in battery capacity have not matched the same advancements compared to other features of mobile devices. Limited Battery power is introducing a significant challenge in making better use of online educational multimedia resources. Online Multimedia Resources drains more battery power as a result of higher amount of wireless data transfer and therefore limiting learning opportunities on the move. Many power saving multimedia adaptation techniques have been suggested. Majority of these techniques achieve battery efficiency while reducing multimedia quality. So far, however, to the best of our knowledge no previous effort has considered the factor of learning efficacy in multimedia adaptation process. Existing adaptation techniques are susceptible to information loss as a result of quality of reduction. Such loss affects the learning content efficacy and jeopardizes the learning process. In this paper, we recommend a novel power save educational multimedia adaptation approach that considers the learning aspect of multimedia in the adaptation process. Our technique enables learning for extended duration by battery power saving without putting the learning process at risk. Efficacy of entire learning resources is managed by not allowing any part of the learning multimedia to be delivered in a quality that will negatively affect the learning outcome. We also present a framework that guides the implementation of our approach followed by description of our prototype application that uses educational multimedia metadata implemented in semantic web technologies.

Multimedia multicast/broadcast transmissions provide simultaneous access to a common service to the heterogeneous user equipments (UEs) with different device and channel characteristics. One of the major challenges to the service providers is the exponential growth of energy-constrained UEs. In this context, the optimization of multimedia multicast/broadcast transmissions that consider the constraints imposed by the UEs is a major concern of the service providers to ensure high Quality of Experience levels to the customers with diverse constraints. This paper presents an overview of the multimedia multicast/broadcast challenges and open issues, identifies the main factors and the associated constraints that impact the multimedia transmission, and provides a comprehensive classification, comparison, and analysis of the state-of-the-art user-centric, energyefficient multimedia multicast/broadcast approaches.

“…However, the optimization of application-level energy-efficiency has still great potential in further improving the overall energy-efficiency of mobile computing. Approaches such as optimizing traffic patterns (Hoque et al 2014, Qian et al 2012, Ehsan & Hamdaoui 2012, offloading computation to more capable nodes (Kumar et al 2013, Kosta et al 2012, Saarinen et al 2012, Kumar & Lu 2010, content compression (Ma et al 2013, Kimura & Latifi 2005 and reducing overhead of communication protocols and applications (Bormann et al 2012, Ciraci et al 2009) can significantly improve the battery life of a mobile device.…”

Energy efficiency is a powerful measure for promoting sustainability in technological evolution and ensuring feasible battery life of end-user devices in mobile computing. Peer-to-peer technology provides decentralized and self-organizing architecture for distributing content between devices in networks that scale up almost infinitely. However, peer-to-peer networking may require lots of resources from peer nodes, which in turn may lead to increased energy consumption on mobile devices. For this reason, peer-to-peer networking has so far been considered unfeasible for mobile environment.This thesis makes several contributions towards enabling energy-aware peer-to-peer networking in mobile environments. First, an empirical study is conducted to understand the energy consumption characteristics of radio interfaces and typical composition of traffic in structured peer-to-peer networks. This is done in order to identify the most essential obstacles for utilizing peer-to-peer technology in mobile environments. Second, the e-Aware model for estimating the energy consumption of a mobile device is developed and empirically verified to achieve 3-21% error in comparison to real-life measurements. Third, the e-Mon model for the energy-aware load monitoring of peer nodes is developed and demonstrated to improve the battery life of mobile peer nodes up to 470%. Fourth, the ADHT concept of mobile agent based virtual peers is proposed for sharing the peer responsibilities between peer nodes in a subnet so that they can participate in a peer-to-peer overlay without compromising their battery life.The results give valuable insight into implementing energy-efficient peer-to-peer systems in mobile environments. The e-Aware energy consumption model accelerates the development of energy-efficient networking solutions by reducing the need for time-consuming iterations between system development and evaluations with real-life networks and devices. The e-Mon load monitoring model facilitates the participation of battery-powered devices in peer-to-peer and other distributed networks by enabling energy-aware load balancing where energy-critical mobile nodes carry less load than other nodes. The ADHT facilitates the participation of constrained-capacity wireless devices, such as machine-to-machine nodes, in a peer-to-peer network by allowing them to sleep for most of their time.Keywords: battery life, constrained-capacity devices, energy-efficiency, green computing, internet of things, machine-to-machine networks, mobile networks, peer-topeer networks Harjula, Erkki, Energiatehokkaat vertaisverkkoratkaisut rajoitetun kapasiteetin mobiiliympäristöissä.Oulun yliopiston tutkijakoulu; Oulun yliopisto, Tieto-ja sähkötekniikan tiedekunta; Centre for Wireless Communications; Infotech Oulu Acta Univ.
