The two major constraints on mobile devices are power and bandwidth. With
the wide spread proliferation of 3G and LTE technologies, mobile bandwidth
and speeds have become broadly comparable to broadband. However, they are
still relatively expensive compared to traditional wired networks, and
should therefore still be considered. This XEP mostly focuses on LTE as it
already has a very wide deployment and will only continue to further
replace 3G technologies.

Whenever possible, data that is not strictly needed should not be
transmitted (by the server or client). Supporting &xep0352; is highly
recommended. Most importantly, XMPP pings should be kept as far apart as
possible and only used when necessary. Server operators are encouraged to
set high ping timeouts, and client implementors are advised to only send
pings when absolutely necessary to prevent the server from closing the
socket.

<section2 topic='Transmit as much data as you can at once'>
<p>
If one is on 3G, transmitting a small amount of data will cause the radio
to enter FACH mode which is significantly cheaper than its high power
mode. On LTE radios, however, transmitting small amounts of data is
vastly more expensive per bit due to the significantly higher tail-times
(the time it takes for the radio to change state). On LTE radios, one
should transmit as much data as possible when the radio is already on
(eg. by placing messages in a send queue and executing the queue as a
batch). Similarly, when data is being received the radio is already in a
high power state and therefore any data that needs to be sent should be.

These rules also apply to server operators: If you receive data, the
phones radio is already on therefore you should send anything you have.
Otherwise, batching data to be sent and sending it all at once (and as
much as possible) will help reduce power consumption.
