Modelling and improving the battery performance of a mobile phone application: A methodology

We evaluated the power consumption of an industry-grade IMS/RCS application that periodically updates and retrieves the availability status as well as inbox query task to/from the server over Wi-Fi interface. Our aim was to find out the amount of additional energy consumed for each unique tasks. We modelled the battery usage of always-on features and identified each feature´s contribution to the whole consumption. While presenting the work we also paid attention to the process we went through and provided a methodology for similar future work.
