A Testbed for Energy Profile Characterization of IP Services in Smartphones over Live Networks
Mobile phones are becoming pervasively used to access Internet and multimedia contents due to their increasing processing power and its wide range of featured wireless communication technologies (Infrared, Bluetooth, NFC, GSM, UMTS, HSPA, WiMax, LTE). In this paper we also introduce mobile devices as a pervasive testbed platform to characterize the energy consumption profile of Internet services. The most innovative advantage provided by our solution is the testbeds flexibility and simplicity, making it possible to carry out extensive testing campaigns using actual mobile devices in live networks with real services.
