Abstract
Broadcast energy and spectrum consumption optimization is provided. A computing device determines a corresponding plurality of respective minimum Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCSs) needed to reach each of a respective plurality of client devices associated with the computing device from the computing device at a predetermined power level. Next, an optimal MCS from the plurality of respective minimum MCSs is used to reach a first group of the plurality of client devices via broadcast. Then unicast is used to reach a second group of the plurality of client devices. The optimal MCS is selected to minimize the total amount of airtime used for the broadcast and the unicast.
