In this paper we develop and analyze energy-efficient cooperative techniques for multimedia applications over wireless networks. The composite cellular-short-range network architecture is explored by using multiple description coding and scalable video coding schemes. In order to provide an overall and fair assessment of the schemes, different approaches are evaluated and discussed. The techniques are compared not only in terms of their energy gain with respect to noncooperative (autonomous) operation but also considering the quality of the delivered video signal.
