Designing energy-efficient delay-aware communication networks has become an inevitable trend in 5G wireless networks. In this letter, we present an energy-efficient and delayaware cross-layer resource allocation in SISO wireless systems. To achieve this goal, we apply the notion of effective energy efficiency (EEE), defined as the ratio of the system effective capacity (EC) over the total power consumption. Unlike previous works, we introduce a new average power consumption model which accounts for the data link layer, allowing for the probability of emptying the buffer during the transmission timeframe. This leads to a new definition of EEE, which results in better performance in terms of both EEE and EC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
