Política adaptativa de gerenciamento dinâmico de energia baseada em timeout para interfaces de rede sem fio.

Abstract

Network interfaces are present in a variety of battery powered computer systems, such as notebooks, ultrabooks, tablets and mobile phones. Considering that the battery life is still a constraint, there are opportunities for power management by reducing the power consumption of idle network interfaces. In this work, a dynamic timeout power policy for network interfaces is presented, incorporating workload estimation and a problem optimization at runtime,thus providing power savings and suitable performance.
