Abstract
The main goal of research and industrial work in wireless telecommunications has been to maximize performance or reduce energy consumption to lengthen the battery life of mobile devices. The challenge in the next future is to make green telecommunications networks, and specifically wireless devices that present the highest energy consumption coefficient per bit transmitted among all the networking devices. However, making a network device green can cause performance deterioration. The target of this paper is to propose a cross-layer approach for the transmission of multiplexed rate-controlled multimedia streams over wireless channels. The proposed approach is adaptive in both the video sources and the wireless transmitter. To this purpose this paper proposes an Energy-efficient ARQ protocol with five possible transmission laws, in order to exploit the correlation of the wireless channel behavior. In addition, in order to compensate transmission bandwidth reduction due to the energy saving policies, a source Rate Controller is introduced. Finally, using an analytical model of the system, the transmission laws are compared, and some guidelines are provided to choose one of them and design its parameters.
The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n. 257740 (Network of Excellence ”TREND”).
