In the near future more and more users will access Internet services by means of portable devices through wireless links. However, mobile computing is still strongly limited by the scarcity of energetic resources of portable devices. This paper proposes and evaluates an application-independent energy management policy for a Wi-Fi hotspot scenario. Unlike the IEEE 802.11 Power Saving Mode, the proposed solution is able to adapt to the application traffic profile, thus saving a considerable amount of energy.
