N2 - Mobile web traffic and application data demands are growing at a rapid rate and are at odds with resource-constrained, data-capped, wireless mobile devices. Data compression can be used to reduce web traffic, save energy, and make network transfers faster. Compression can, however, hurt performance if not used judiciously. We propose Locomotive, a library that improves the performance of network transfers in wireless mobile networks by employing selective compression based on data type and network conditions. We demonstrate that Locomotive improves performance of web transfers by roughly 12-24% while reducing data usage by 39%.
