Energy-efficient transmission schemes for reed-solomon coded quadrature amplitude modulation

With the development of wireless communications, such as the wireless sensor networks, the low power technology is becoming more and more important. In this paper, the energy model for M-array modulations with channel coding, especially for Reed-Solomon Coded Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), is proposed. According to this model, we develop an energy-efficient transmission scheme for Reed-Solomon coded QAM systems. To adjust the modulation level and code rate of Reed-Solomon codes based on the proposed scheme can efficiently reduce the energy consumption.
