[summ]Energy saving-Switching 3G_Wi-Fi_GPS

J. Ryoo, H. Kim, and S. R. Das, “Geo-fencing: Geographical-fencing based energy-aware proactive framework for mobile devices,” in 2012 IEEE 20th International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS), 2012, pp. 1 –9.

This paper proposes an energy-aware framework for mobile devices by efficiently use different interfaces, i.e. GPS, 3G, Wi-Fi.

Principle/Inspiration: using prediction instead of demanding the highest accuracy can save significant energy. Give up using GPS when it is not necessary. [e.g. GPS gives high accuracy with high energy cost]

Steps:

1. when user's current location is obtained by GPS, then turn off GPS and switch on 3G or Wi-Fi 

2. predict human activity (walking, driving, stationary, etc) using Accelerometer. 

Additional works: shows an example of how to build an energy profile, which is better than using fluctuate real values
