Summary

Green computing has recently been proposed to reduce energy cost in computer systems. However, the application of green computing to Wireless Multimedia Networking (WMN) has seldom been reported in literature. In this paper we propose a new traffic scheduling approach in WMN to support green computing and energy efficient communications, and thus to improve network availability and reliability. The main contribution of the proposed approach is the network lifetime maximization for battery powered WMN by considering energy consumption and multimedia quality tradeoff. In the proposed approach, the multimedia packet and path diversity are jointly explored, and the residue energy discrepancy is minimized among nodes’ batteries subject to a lower bound of multimedia distortion requirement. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach can significantly improve the energy utilization balance among WMN nodes compared with traditional media-quality optimized approach, and thus significantly extending the battery powered WMN network lifetime.
