Abstract
Techniques for influencing power consumption of a client while streaming multimedia content from a server over a network are described. For example, a server push strategy is used to push a number of media segments of the multimedia content from the server to the client in response to a single request identifying one of the media segments. Thus, instead of using multiple requests, the media segments are provided to the client by using a single request. Reducing the number of requests influences (e.g., reduces) the power consumption of the client. To optimize the power consumption given current client, server, and/or network conditions, the number of the media segments to be pushed is computed based on parameters associated with these conditions.
