Delay-Constrained Video Transmission: A Power-Efficient Resource Allocation Approach for Guaranteed Perceptual Quality

In this paper we investigate power-efficient resource allocation for transmission of perceptual quality guaranteed video over LTE downlink under delay quality of service (QoS) constraints. We formulate the resource allocation problem as the minimization of sum power in the downlink under user perceived quality and statistical delay QoS provisioning. We solve the problem using dual decomposition and employ the ellipsoid method to update dual variables. Experimental results have shown significant performance enhancement of the proposed system in terms of power efficiency while satisfying the statistical delay-bounded QoS and perceptual quality requirements.
