Maximizing Amount of Transferred Traffic for Battery Powered Mobiles

There is a fast growing demand for mobile telephones. These rely on batteries to provide the power needed for transmission and for reception (up and downlink communications). Considering uplink, we analyse how the characteristics of the battery affect the amount of information that one can draw out from the terminal. We focus in particular on the impact of the charge in the battery on the internal resistance which grows as the battery depletes.
