<p>Methods and devices for responding to network messages based on a status of one or more parameters of a device are disclosed. In one embodiment, these methods allow efficient energy management of a network device by monitoring the power levels associated with the device. In particular, if the battery power level associated with the device drops below a predetermined threshold, the device may decide not to respond to certain types of messages received from the network. Furthermore, if the battery power is within a predetermined range, the device may respond to network messages according to a probability value. The disclosed methods may be implemented in mobile devices that operate on a network with distributed hash tables (DHTs).</p> |
