Power-aware notification distribution

Abstract

Notification distribution is a great feature to have as: (1) it lets employees receive notifications directly on their mobile devices in near real-time; and (2) it reduces the effort required by IT administrators to manage a diverse fleet of mobile devices and platforms. However, it should take into account the fact that the battery lives of mobile devices have been decreasing a lot over the last past years because other features offered by mobile devices like WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS get drained their batteries very quickly. Therefore, notification distribution should seek to minimize its impact on battery power.
