Upcoming telecommunication networks are expected to lower energy requirements of current infrastructures, especially at the network edge. That necessarily entails cutting off energy wasted when devices are active, yet idle, just to maintain their presence on the network. To this purpose, the concept of delegating network activity has been introduced to allow devices to enter low power states without breaking their connectivity. This paper addresses the client-side architecture for delegating routine network tasks to the proper service. It depicts the logical framework for this purpose and identifies its main logical elements and their function; further, it discusses their integration with power management capability today available in most computing devices.

Abstract

Upcoming telecommunication networks are expected to lower energy requirements of current infrastructures, especially at the network edge. That necessarily entails cutting off energy wasted when devices are active, yet idle, just to maintain their presence on the network. To this purpose, the concept of delegating network activity has been introduced to allow devices to enter low power states without breaking their connectivity. This paper addresses the client-side architecture for delegating routine network tasks to the proper service. It depicts the logical framework for this purpose and identifies its main logical elements and their function; further, it discusses their integration with power management capability today available in most computing devices.
