K1 Energía -- Consumo
AB Currently, mobile devices are the most popularpervasive computing device, and they are becoming the primer way for Web access. Energy is a critical resource in such pervasivecomputing devices, being network communication one of the primary energy consuming operations in mobile apps. Indeed, web-based communication is the most used, but also energy demanding. So, mobile web developers should be aware of how much energy consumes the different web-based communication alternatives. The goal of this paper is to measure and compare theenergy consumption of three asynchronous Web-based methods in mobile devices. Our experiments consider three different Web applications models that allow a web server to push data to a browser: Polling, Long Polling and WebSockets. The obtainedresults are analyzed to get more accurate understanding of the impact in energy consumption of a mobile browser for eachof these three methods. The utility of these experiments is to show developers what are the factors that influence the energy consumption when different web-based asynchronous communicationis used. With this information mobile web developerscould reduce the power consumption of web applications onmobile devices, by selecting the most appropriate method forasynchronous server communication.
