Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of energy efficiency for error control mechanisms over WPAN systems. An analytical formulation has been developed to study the trade-off between link layer performance and energy consumption for two types of error control schemes: pure ARQ and type II hybrid ARQ protocol. An MC-CDMA-based system is considered. First of all, the analysis has been used to compare different error recovery schemes from the energy efficiency point of view. Moreover, it has been found that, for any channel conditions, there exists an optimal value of the transmit power that maximizes the energy efficiency. The paper also shows how this result can be used to design the power control of an energy efficient CDMA-based communication system.

Mauro De Sanctis received the “Laurea'' degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Roma “Tor Vergata'' in 2002. He is currently a Ph.D. Student and Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronics Engineering of the same University. He is involved in the DAVID (DAta and Video Interactive Distribution) satellite mission of the ASI (Italian Space Agency); his research is funded by the ASI. He is also involved in the MAGNET (My personal Adaptive Global NET) European FP6 integrated project and in the SatNEx European network of excellence. He worked on Italian national research projects on satellite-terrestrial systems integration such as SHINES (Satellite and HAP Integrated NEtworks and Services) and CABIS (CDMA for Broadband mobile terrestrial-satellite Integrated Systems). On autumn 2004 he joined the CTIF (Center for TeleInFrastructure), a research center focusing on modern telecommunications technologies located at the University of Aalborg (Denmark).
