Snoozing Technique Could Help Keep Smartphone Batteries Fresh

Researchers in University of Michigan had found a way to preserve battery of Smartphones, Tablets and others that have WiFi. Kang Shin and Xinyu Zhang of University of Michigan had discovered E-Mili. E-Mili is a mechanism for reducing the energy cost of idle listening (IL) that dominates the energy consumption in WiFi networks. E-MiLi controls the radio clock-rate on a fine-grained, per packet basis, in order to reduce the energy consumption of Idle Listening. By changing the voltage along with clock-rate, additional energy savings can be achieved. This would save a lot of time to people who works a lot.
