[dundee] 5th April - Performance and Energy Efficiency in WLAN

[Chairman The Software Society]

Hi folks,

Just the usual shout out for our next meeting.

The talk will be held in the Burgh Coffee house at 6.30pm, it will be  
on Performance and Energy Efficiency in WLANs.

It will be presented by our very own Markus Tauber, please find  
neccessary details below.

The talk will be on work recently published --  see:

Abstract

I will present results of an experimental evaluation of energy
usage/efficiency and performance in a wireless LAN cell. We have
taken an application-level approach, by varying the packet size
and transmission rate at the application level and evaluating energy
usage across a range of application transmission rates using both
large and small packet sizes. We have observed that both the
application?s transmission rate and the packet size have an impact
on energy efficiency for transmission in our testbed. We also
included in our experiments evaluation of the energy efficiency
of emulations of YouTube and Skype flows, and a comparison
with Ethernet transmissions. I will also talk about how this findings
can be used to make future applications more energy efficient.
