Cellphones & mobile devices
The best selected sensing case removes 25 of 48 readings: 52.08% fewer acquisition events at the old quality limit. Or keep the original reading budgets for 26.30% lower mean modeled variance across 12 selected cases. These are alternative sensing-model choices for a handset integration.

CUMULATIVE APPLICATION BUDGET / 17 OCTOBER 2026
0.65–4.61% less whole-phone energy in an illustration
Sensing uses 20% of phone energy, other 80% stays fixed and no further costs are added. Same-battery life rises 0.65–4.83%. Exact conventional allocation planners match the reading counts.

Related model results: D027: 51.49% longer completion; 0.4356% more energy at its worst tested condition; D037: 28.70% shorter completion; 1.1896% more energy at its worst tested condition. No winner saved energy across the required robustness cases.
Related model jobs: D027, D037. Integration into a product remains open.
The best selected sensing model takes 48 → 23 readings at a fixed quality target. The other choice keeps the original reading budgets and reduces mean modeled variance—a measure of spread—by 26.30% across 12 selected cases. These choices use different reading counts.
What the design aims to improve
Avoid 25 of 48 readings, or keep the readings for better precision. A net energy saving could extend battery life or allow a smaller battery at the original runtime.
THE APPLICATION
Cellphones & mobile devices
Phone manufacturers and mobile software teams
Reduce avoidable sensing or computing work to target longer battery life, or a smaller battery for the same mobile work and runtime.
Measurement planning · Energy and heat accounting
The sensing model covers repeated readings with unequal channel noise and a fixed quality target. It offers fewer readings or a steadier answer, with the required response behavior kept the same. Note 1 calculates the whole-phone effect.
