On Reducing Power Consumption of Transmitting Stations in 802.11 MIMO Networks
We propose an online algorithm for energy minimization of transmitting stations in IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs). Our algorithm configures radio frequency (RF) parameters such as the number of transmitting antennas based on the real-time traffic demand and channel measurements so that the power consumption of the device is reduced and the minimum data rate requirements of statio
