Cross-Layer Energy Optimization in Cooperative Cellular Systems

Cooperative networking is currently under standardization for future wireless cellular systems. This paper considers energy efficient transmission schemes in cooperative cellular transceiver systems. In which, we analyze how to minimize energy consumption per information bit in single link. Further, Target bit error probability, Packet length, Retransmission and Transmission distance for both coded and un coded system are considered as the performance metrics for the optimization of energy. The simulation results illustrate the effect of energy efficient modulation schemes for variable distances and fixed bit error probability.
