Performance in Cellular Networks: A cross-layer approachAbstract
Smartphone applications are near-ubiquitous today. However their performance and energy bottlenecks are little understood due to a lack of visibility into the resource-constrained mobile execution environment and its potentially complex interaction with the application behavior. I will present ARO, the mobile Application Resource Optimizer, the first tool that efficiently
and accurately exposes the cross-layer interactions to enable the discovery of inefficient resource usage for smartphone applications. ARO is now widely used by popular app developers to improve the efficiency of their apps. I will use case studies to illustrate some extremely prevalent resource and energy inefficiencies today, and describe solutions and best practice approaches for
making apps more efficient and cellular-friendly. Finally, time permitting, I will overview our recent research into improving an extremely common activity in the mobile ecosystem - web browsing.
