Abstract

The energy consumption in transmitting an information bit, i.e., energy-per-bit, has been known to decrease monotonically as the transmission time increases [1]. However, when considering the power amplifier (PA) characteristics, we learn that the energy-per-bit starts to increase as the transmission time becomes long over a certain threshold. This is caused by the fact that, in a wireless device, it is not the transmission power, which determines the energy consumed during transmissions, but the input power to the PA whose output power is used as the transmission power. Based on our new trade-off model between the energy-per-bit and transmission time, we revisit known energy-efficient scheduling algorithms. Finally, we evaluate the impact of the new trade-off model and the performance of algorithms via simulations.
