Private:cloud computing reading list

receivers to turn off their wireless interfaces for longer periods of time in order to save energy. We construct the burst transmission schedules that reduce the energy consumption without sacrificing the video quality or introducing any buffer overflow or underflow instances. We rigorously evaluate the proposed algorithms using simulation and mathematical analysis.
