Rate adaptation in WiFi networks has received significant attention recently. However, most existing work focuses on selecting the rate to maximize throughput. How to select a data rate to minimize energy consumption is an important yet under-explored topic. This problem is becoming increasingly important with the rapidly increasing popularity of MIMO deployment, because MIMO offers diverse rate choices (e.g., the number of antennas, the number of streams, modulation, and FEC coding) and selecting the appropriate rate has significant impact on power consumption.
