A Network Connectivity Power-Saving Mechanism for Mobile Devices in DLNA Home Networks
Overview Mobile devices are increasingly assuming an important role in "Smart home" network environments. Although their computing, storage and networking capabilities have evolved significantly, these devices remain power-constrained and, therefore, need to actively take measures to minimize their power consumption. This paper proposes a Network Connectivity Power Saving (NC-PS) mechanism for mobile devices in Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) home networks, which allows them to conserve power without compromising their higher-layer functionality. The proposed mechanism introduces a level of indirection that abstracts the low-level low-power support of different wireless bearers and exposes a uniform interface to higher-layer entities, such as applications and Universal - Plugand-Play (UPnP) agents.
