In case of packet loss, TCP retransmits the packet and reduces
the transmission speed according to the congestion control algorithm
used. Such an event increases the transmission time of a
bundle and the energy consumption. In order to get an idea of the
39
magnitude of the increase in energy consumption, we simulated a
scenario with 1% packet loss in the Internet. The results suggest
that the UE’s energy consumption increases by 10% on average.
