Smartphone Battery Optimization by Reducing Energy Consumption in Network Communications

Abstract- In this paper, a technique for battery optimization of smartphone is being proposed. The technique is based on reduction in energy consumed by communication over network. This will be achieved by utilizing cooperative device-to-device communication. The proposed system will allow users with higher battery level to carry traffic of users with lower battery level, thereby reducing the chances of user running out of battery early. This system can be realized in the form of a proximity service (ProSe) which will utilize device-to-device (D2D) communication architecture underlaying Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology in hexagonal cell environment. It is shown through simulations that the proposed system will reduce the probability of outage i.e. the probability of cellular users running out of battery before their target usage time
