Abstract(in English) Reduction of power consumption is one of an important issue in wireless communications because most mobile devices are battery-driven. For effective power saving, it is important to understand the behaviors of the transport layer protocols used by upper-layer applications, since packet transmission and reception timing are mainly determined by those behaviors. In this report, we propose a power consumption model based on a treatment of detailed TCP behaviors within a WLAN environment. Comparing the model with and without ideal sleeping, we analyze the power consumption of a single wireless client as it sends data to a wired host by TCP. From the numerical results of our analysis, we show the lower-bound for power consumption in upstream TCP data transfer with ideal sleeping. We also discuss the trade-off between power saving and network performance in TCP data transfer.
