While this problem can be addressed at various levels (e.g. device, operating system, middleware, application), we think that it is possible to get a higher energy savings when considering the needs of the applications (application-aware). Our approach is centred on analyzing the behaviour of the applications more than the resources. In this paper, we present an application-aware framework which utilizes the needs of the applications and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) techniques focused on the wireless network card to control and reduce power consumption at runtime. We include a novel technique that increases the energy savings. The experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves up to 75.1\\% average reduction in the energy consumed by the wireless network interface}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the {Fourth} {International} {ICST} {Conference} on {COMmunication} {System} {softWAre} and {middlewaRE}}, author = {Lago, Ana B. and Larizgoitia, Iker}, year = {2009}, keywords = {power management}, pages = {11} }']
