Mobile data traffic (cellular + WiFi) will exceed PC Internet traffic by\n2020. As the number of smartphone users and the amount of data transferred per\nsmartphone grow exponentially, limited battery power is becoming an\nincreasingly critical problem for mobile devices which depend on the network\nI/O. Despite the growing body of research in power management techniques for\nthe mobile devices at the hardware layer as well as the lower layers of the\nnetworking stack, there has been little work focusing on saving energy at the\napplication layer for the mobile systems during network I/O. In this paper, to\nthe best of our knowledge, we are first to provide an in-depth analysis of the\neffects of application-layer data transfer protocol parameters on the energy\nconsumption of mobile phones. We propose a novel model, called FastHLA, that\ncan achieve significant energy savings at the application layer during mobile\nnetwork I/O without sacrificing the performance. In many cases, our model\nachieves performance increase and energy saving simultaneously.\n
