The energy efficiency of mobile devices becomes very important, considering the development of mobile device technology starting to lead to smaller dimensions and with the higher processor speed of these mobile devices. Various studies have been conducted to grow energy-aware in hardware, middleware and application software. The step of optimizing energy consumption can be done at various layers of mobile communication network architecture. This study focuses on examining the energy consumption of mobile devices in the transport layer protocol, where the processor speed of the mobile devices used in this experiment is higher than the processor speed used in similar studies. The mobile device processor in this study has a speed of 1.5 GHz with 1 GHz RAM capacity. While in similar studies that have been carried out, mobile device processors have a speed of 369 MHz with a RAM capacity of less than 0.5 GHz. This study conducted an experiment in transmitting mobile data using TCP and UDP protocols. Because the video requires intensive delivery, so the video is the traffic that is being reviewed. Energy consumption is measured based on the amount of energy per transmission and the amount of energy per package. To complete the analysis, it can be seen the strengths and weaknesses of each protocol in the transport layer protocol, in this case the TCP and UDP protocols, also evaluated the network performance parameters such as delay and packet loss. The results showed that the UDP protocol consumes less energy and transmission delay compared to the TCP protocol. However, only about 22% of data packages can be transmitted. Therefore, the UDP protocol is only effective if the bit rate of data transmitted is close to the network speed. Conversely, despite consuming more energy and delay, the TCP protocol is able to transmit nearly 96% of data packets. On the other hand, when compared to mobile devices that have lower processor speeds, the mobile devices in this study consume more energy to transmit video data. However, transmission delay and packet loss can be suppressed. Thus, mobile devices that have higher processor speeds are able to optimize the energy consumed to improve transmission quality.Key words: energy consumption, processor, delay, packet loss, transport layer protocol

Currently, advanced technological hardware can offer mobile devices which fits in the hand with a capacity to consult documents at anytime and anywhere. Multiple user context constraints as well as mobile device capabilities may involve the adaptation of multimedia content. In this article, the authors propose a new graph-based method for adapting multimedia documents in complex situations. Each contextual situation could correspond to a physical handicap and therefore triggers an adaptation action using ontological reasoning. Consequently, when several contextual situations are identified, this leads to multiple disabilities and may give rise to inconsistency between triggered actions. Their method allows modeling relations between adaptation-actions to select the compatible triggerable ones. In order to evaluate the feasibility and the performance of their proposal, an experimental study has been made on some real scenarios. When tested and compared with some existing approaches, their proposal showed improvements according to various criteria.

There are two transport layer protocols that have been used in the internet protocol (IP) networks: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Both protocols have been utilized for video streaming applications. This paper examines energy consumed by a mobile device when TCP or UDP employed by the application within it for streaming a video file. A transport protocol load management is proposed to reduce the mobile device energy consumptions. The experiments were conducted in the 802.11 environment. The results show that the proposed method is able to minimize mobile device energy consumptions up to 10.7% and 3.34% for both TCP and UDP protocols.

Offloading heavy computations from a mobile device to cloud servers can reduce the power consumption of the mobile device and improve the response time of mobile applications. However, the gains of offloading can be significantly affected by failures of cloud servers and network links. In this thesis, we propose a fault-aware, multi-site computation offloading model capable of finding efficient allocations of tasks to resources. Our model reduces both response time and energy consumption by incorporating the effect of failures and recovery mechanisms for various offloading allocations. In addition, we create a fault-injection framework to evaluate an allocation under various failure rates and recovery mechanisms. The experiments carried out with our fault-injection framework demonstrate that our fault-aware model can determine an allocation—based on the type of failures, failure rates, and the employed recovery mechanisms—that improves both response time and lower energy consumption compared to model without failures.

With the development and diffusion of compact and portable mobile devices, users can use multimedia content such as music and movie on personal mobile devices, anytime and anywhere. However, even with the rapid development of mobile device technology, it is still not easy to search multimedia content or manage large volume of content in a mobile device with limited resources. To resolve these problems, an approach for recommending content on the server-side is one of the popular solutions. However, the recommendation in a server also leads to some problems like the scalability for a lot of users and the management of personal information. Therefore, this paper defines a personal content manager which acts between content providers (server) and mobile devices and proposes a method for recommending multimedia content in the personal content manager. For the recommendation based on user's personal characteristic and preference, this paper adopts and applies the DISC model which is verified in psychology field for classifying user's behavior pattern. The proposed recommendation method also includes an algorithm for reflecting dynamic environmental context. Through the implements and evaluation of a prototype system, this paper shows that the proposed method has acceptable performance for multimedia content recommendation.
