Abstract

An invesitigation on power consumption of a mobile multimedia system using OFDM and MDVS technique is reported here. Analysis and simulation are performed to find the significances of proposed Microscopic Dynamic Voltage Scaling(MDVS) tehnique[4] on digital processor in terms of power saving. A study is also made to show power reduction in mobile multimedia system by incorporating OFDM modulation scheme in RF front-end. Finally, overall power consumption by functionally distinguished blocks ie. RF front-end, digital processor and human interface unit is shown here. Total power consumption is 8.2W for 2Mbps SD-quality WCDMA multimedia video service - the power consumption of digital processor is 3.9W(48%), the power consumption of RF front-end is 3.2W (36%), and the power consumption of interface is 1.8W(16%). Power saving of applying purposed MDVS technique is 35% in digital processor, and power saving of OFDM technique is 10-12dB in RF front-end.
