Optimal strategies for the transmission of compressed biometric time series over wireless channels

This thesis relies on the basic idea that the most recurrent data patterns can be identified within a biomedical signal and exploited to generate, at runtime, a codebook based on the most representative among them. Our model formulation focuses on the transmission of both the new code-vectors and the codebook indexes over a wireless multipath Rayleigh fading channel, thus designing the optimal and suboptimal strategies for the scheduling of a Single-Server Multiple-Buffer queueing system
