Energy Consumption of Mobile YouTube: Quantitative Measurement and Analysis Yu Xiao, Ramya Sri Kalyanaraman, Antti Ylä-Jääski Helsinki University of Technology, Finland yuxiao@cc.hut.fi
Outline • Introduction • Experiment Setup • Experimental Results & Analysis • Future Work
Introduction • Mobile Devices • Functions vs. Energy Consumption • Multimedia, Internet, Context-aware… • Online video sharing
Introduction • YouTube • Largest online video sharing website • Support access from mobile devices • Website: m.youtube.com
Concerned Techniques • Progressive download • HTTP/TCP • No resource reservation • Media server pushes data to the clients as fast as possible • Client starts playback once enough data has been downloaded Download Playback Playback Download
Research Questions • What are the factors that influence energy consumption? • Download Technology • Progressive download vs. Traditional TCP download-and-play • Network Access Technology • WCDMA vs. WLAN 802.11g • Playback settings • Storage media used (Phone memory vs. External flash drive vs. Cache)
Experiment Setup • Nokia N95 • Symbian 60 3rd FP1 • WCDMA, WLAN • BL-5F 950mAh 3.7V • Nokia Energy Profiler • Monitor voltage, current, temperature • Mobile YouTube Clients • emTube: download • YouTube for Mobile: upload
Network Settings • WCDMA(3G) • Internet subscription with both downlink and uplink bandwidth of 384kbps • WLAN • LINSYS WAP 200 Wireless-G Access Point connected to campus Internet
Progressive download vs. Traditional TCP download –and-play WCDMA WLAN
WCDMA vs. WLAN Progressive Download Upload
Default system • Concerned factors • Energy Profiling Software • System Processes • Backlight • Cell States of WCDMA • Idle state of WLAN
Calculation • Precondition • Total energy consumption consists of two parts, namely, mobile YouTube and default system • Energy consumption of playback from cache (replay) equals to that of playback during progressive download • Expected quantity • Energy consumption of download, playback and default system in each phase
Argument -1 • Progressive download via WLAN is more energy-efficient than using WCDMA • Energy consumption during progressive download can be separated into download , playback and default system
Argument-2 • Network Transmission • The data rate is not limited by local processing capability • Traffic regulated by YouTube server • Energy consumption of playback • Error caused by temperature in limited range can be ignored • Difference caused by loading video into cache among media used
Future work • Power modeling of progressive download • Power measurement in public WLAN • Power vs. data rate • Energy vs. traffic distribution • Energy efficient adaptation to network conditions • SNR-based dynamic adaptation
