Review of Energy Consumption and Measurement Management Techniques in Smartphones

Abstract

Smartphones energy consumption and management have become a major issue all over the smartphones research and developing (R&D) centers. On smartphones, the researches must achieve the wide requirements of the power drawn by the smartphone components and its new huge applications as well as the revolutions with the new communication technologies. Based on the above, it is necessary to take the approach for energy consumption optimization and management of energy conservation into consideration. This will help to achieve the desired green environment technologies for optimizing energy use in smartphones. In this review paper, we reviewed many energy consumption concepts; the smartphone services and applications, the testbeds and platforms survey, recent methods for power measurements, the key metrics used, and the energy consumption optimization schemes.
