Abstract

More and more people are increasingly using multimedia on their mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablet PCs and smart watches as a result of technological improvements. The most significant elements of a mobile device are the battery life, memory, bandwidth, and CPU performance. When such computationally extensive tasks are performed on a mobile device, the battery quickly drains. However, offloading such tasks to a proxy and executing those results in significant power savings in mobile devices. We compare the ways of offloading to a proxy from a mobile device in this study based on power usage, energy, and execution time. A thorough examination of the offloading process is also presented. The findings show a significant reduction in the amount of energy consumed by mobile devices.
