Can we reduce Wi-Fi energy consumption during VoIP calls?

In this paper we examine if any energy savings are possible by letting the Wireless LAN interface transition to sleep mode during a VoIP call considering the real time nature of voice. Using our proposed energy saving algorithm GreenCall, we show that it is possible, and quantify the possible savings through both empirical and trace based simulation experiments.
