Abstract :
Nowadays, energy saving solutions have become an interesting topic in all fields of technology, including Android mobile devices. Data polling and data pushing techniques are the two methods used by Android mobile devices to gather and retrieve information from the Internet. Due to the limited amount of battery, there is a need for a way that can help reduce the battery consumption. In order to achieve the objective, this paper proposes that data compression known as GZip is applied to the data before it is sent to the Android mobile device. The results show that the amount of battery used to send data is reduced by approximately 65% and 30% for the data polling and pushing techniques, respectively.
