I have heard this a couple of times, but there was never a pointer to an article quantifying these claims. I understand that something different than TCP (e.g. an incoming SMS) could have a very different impact on power consumption simply because it utilizes a different part of the radio, but this proposal is about replacing one TCP connection with another one. So, why do you expect that this change will reduce power consumption, and do you have any measurements or other data?
