Abstract

Mobile devices today rely on cellular (3G or LTE) connectivity because it has ubiquitous coverage. Unfortunately cellular links are energy hungry at low bit-rates and have high round-trip times after idle periods. These characteristics punish common mobile applications such as web browsing and streaming, decreasing battery life and user satisfaction.

We present the design and implementation of the Mobile kibbutz, a system that improves the performance of cellular links by having nearby users share their links with each other via shorter range wireless links - WiFi or Bluetooth. Without requiring application specific knowledge, instrumentation, or recompilation, the kibbutz allows multiple users' traffic to be consolidated on a subset of links, leading to reduced energy consumption and smaller round-trip times, while ensuring fairness across different users.

We have implemented the kibbutz on Samsung Galaxy Nexus devices and shown that for typical usage applications, collaborating phones consume 25% less energy when listening to radio, experience more responsive web browsing (1.2s faster on average), and 33% faster downloads.
