Power minimization for delivering integrated multimedia services over digital subscriber line

We study the problem of designing an efficient resource allocation scheme in the application of providing integrated multimedia services over digital subscriber line. For a predefined quality of service (QoS) requirement and data throughput, me show that the transmitted power consumption can be reduced by applying the parallel transmission framework previously proposed. Data streams are recognized as a set of layers with different data rate and bit error rate requirements. The characteristics of the telephone channel can be utilized to provide unequal error protection naturally and thus efficiently, Simulation results provide comparison of the proposed parallel transmission framework to the existing schemes designed for general data, and demonstrate significant performance improvement, such as 0.5-2 dB power gain.
