Abstract

In this paper we propose couple power allocation strategies for layered video services delivery over evolved Multimedia Multicast/Broadcast Service (eMBMS) networks. The proposed allocations aim at reducing the power consumption of the eNodeB (eNB) and improving the user quality of experience characterizing the delivered eMBMS flows. We consider multiple challenging scenarios which differ by: (i) the number of eNBs transmitting the same service set, and (ii) how services are delivered. In particular, we consider scenarios where services can be delivered by resorting to the Random Network Coding principle or not. We compare the proposed resource allocation models to a strategy which equally shares the transmission power budget among layers of the delivered service. Analytical results show that the proposed resource allocation strategies are characterized by a transmission power which is on average 13% smaller than the considered alternative. In addition, the optimized resource allocation can deliver each layered video service over a geographical area which is up to 25% greater than that associated to the considered alternative.
