With increasing adoption of multicarrier-based communications e.g. 3G and 4G, the users are significantly benefited with impressive data rate but at the cost of battery life of their mobile devices. We reviewed the existing techniques to find an open research gap in this regard. This paper presents a novel framework where an optimization is carried out with the objective function to maintain higher level of equilibrium between maximized data delivery and minimized transmit power. An analytical model considering multiple radio antennae in the mobile device is presented with constraint formulations of data quality and threshold power factor. The model outcome is evaluated with respect to amount of power being conserved as performance factor. The study was found to offer maximum energy conservation and the framework also suits well with existing communication system of mobile networks.

INTRODUCTIONWith the advancement of telecommunication standards, the users are now flooded with numerous services of wireless communication systems [1]. This has led to various forms of mobile applications that offer a good pervasive computing integrated with mobile networks [2]. A legacy 2G service uses a simple mechanism of transmitting the signal, which doesn't demand more power to be used by the mobile device. With evolution of 3G and 4G networks, there is a significant growth of multicarrier communication standards that potentially increases the data rates in mobile communication [3]. Usage of multicarrier-based communication standards offers higher data transmission that positively attracts users to use certain mobile applications that are highly inclined on performing parallel processing. Unfortunately, such forms of events go untracked by the users for which sufficient counter measures are difficult to be taken. Deployment of such forms of the network majorly uses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), which already suffers from PAPR (Peak-Average-to Power Ratio) [4] [5]. Therefore, usage of 3G or 4G network offers maximized rate of data transmission but at the cost of battery life of the mobile device. The existing mobile applications for power conservation are discretely programmed to identify certain specific threads that finally suppressed it [6]. Such a program doesn't help much in minimizing the battery consumption of a mobile device as it cannot identify the dynamic threads running over it. Hence, it is quite a challenging task to ensure the power conservation in the mobile devices. From the research viewpoint, it can be seen that there are very few computational models to identify the sources of power dissipation and to minimize it. Studies like [7] [8]
