Abstract

Batteries are a primary resource in wireless networks for many mobile devices. Minimizing energy consumption without affecting communication activities is crucial to prolong the lifetime and improve the robustness of the wireless connection. One effective way to reduce energy consumption is to set the entire, or part of the system in a low power mode whenever possible. This paper explores a power saving approach for VoIP and presents a new power saving scheme that does not require extra protocol overhead or modifications to operate. Adopting this scheme potentially allows considerable power savings without any adverse effect on VoIP quality. Evidence of this is in simulation results, showing that a device can enter sleep mode for over 75% of the time, with no decrease in throughput.
