Abstract—With the development of wireless network
technology, the data transmission efficiency of wireless
communication has been greatly improved. The transmission
of wireless communication data on the gateway device will
inevitably consume device energy. Excessive energy
consumption of the device will affect the quality of the
communication signal. Only by reducing the energy
consumption during the data transmission process can the user
be provided with satisfactory communication services. This
paper proposes an energy consumption optimization
technology for wireless communication transmission in cloud
environment from the perspective of resource deployment and
task scheduling. The related algorithms include virtual
machine scheduling algorithm and minimum energy
scheduling algorithm. The two algorithms are used to simulate
different data transmission tasks. Comparing the completion
time and energy consumption of the two algorithms for
different data transmission tasks, the research results show
that as the data transmission volume increases, the data
transmission completion time and energy consumption of the
two algorithms increase, but compared with the virtual The
minimum energy scheduling algorithm has a shorter
completion time and less energy consumption, indicating that
the minimum energy scheduling algorithm can be used to
optimize the wireless data transmission system and improve
the data transmission efficiency.

I. INTRODUCTION
Cloud environments can provide computing power to
users from a virtualized resource pool and create
communication links for wireless communication. Although
the wireless communication data transmission in the cloud
environment is quite convenient, the energy consumption of
the transmission equipment is also very large, which
shortens the service life of the equipment. Therefore, it is of
great significance to study the energy consumption
optimization method to solve the problem of data
transmission energy consumption of transmission equipment
to improve the service life of the equipment.
At present, many scholars have carried out in-depth
analysis on the energy consumption optimization method of
wireless communication data transmission in the cloud
environment, and achieved good research results. For
example, a scholar studies the wireless communication data
transmission process in the cloud environment. Each

transmission process will have corresponding energy
consumption, including the energy consumption of the data
transmission center, the energy consumption of the
transmission equipment, and the CPU energy consumption.
The proportion of energy consumption in the process is
different, and the impact on the transmission quality is also
different. A large energy consumption ratio also indicates
that the energy efficiency of the equipment is high, but to
ensure that the equipment can be used for a long time, the
energy consumption must be reduced [1-2]. Some scholars
have introduced the data link layer protocol into the wireless
communication system to complete data transmission
between communication devices. The system data unit
conversion function and communication scheduling module
realize low power consumption and high quality
communication through protocol connection [3-4]. Although
there are many research literatures on wireless
communication data transmission in the cloud environment,
there are not many methods to reduce the energy
consumption of data transmission. Therefore, it is necessary
to further develop energy consumption optimization
methods or technologies in future research.
This paper first proposes the concept of cloud computing,
analyzes the energy consumption optimization technology
in the cloud environment, and then designs a wireless
communication data transmission system in the cloud
environment. The wireless transmission module of the
system can realize fast and high-quality transmission of
communication data. Finally, the time and energy
consumption of two energy optimization methods, such as
the minimum energy scheduling algorithm and the virtual
machine scheduling algorithm, to complete the data
transmission task are compared and analyzed.
II. CLOUD COMPUTING AND ENERGY OPTIMIZATION
METHODS
A. Overview of Cloud Computing
Cloud computing technology refers to a technology that
integrates the physical resources of servers into a whole by
building a system architecture, and then allocates resources
to users after the scale of the number of servers [5].
The existing cloud computing technology mainly
integrates two major technologies of massive data
processing and system architecture [6]. Due to the support
of scale, its data processing ability is very powerful. This
computing ability helps us analyze the laws and connections

between things and can be used to predict future trends [7].
Combined with other technologies, it can provide us with
more convenient services.
We know that the processing power of the server mainly
depends on the processor (CPU), and the energy consumed
by the calculation can also be calculated according to the
utilization rate of the CPU.
t + ∆t
W =∫ Pdt
t (1)
In the formula, W represents the energy consumption (J),
P represents the power (W), and t represents the execution
time (S). If we want the energy consumption E to be
reduced, we need to use the frequency to reduce the power.
If the frequency is halved, the energy consumption per unit
time will indeed be reduced. However, the time required to
execute the task will increase, and the time will nearly
double. In this way, for the task, the total energy
consumption of the task is still increased.
B. Technologies Related to Energy Consumption
Optimization in Cloud Environment
(1) Resource deployment and task scheduling
Under cloud computing conditions, in order to meet the
different application requirements of customers, various
resource types need to be provided, so when redeploying
and scheduling, users need to dynamically adjust resources
according to the characteristics of their own needs [8]. The
purposes of resource deployment and task scheduling are: to
ensure service quality, to provide user applications with
necessary resources that meet the requirements, and to
ensure service quality; to optimize efficiency, to provide
high-quality resources for services, to ensure the efficiency
of data transmission and processing, and task scheduling .
High efficiency and energy saving. The number of
computing nodes in the data center is huge, and its energy
consumption is also very high. When deploying resources
and scheduling tasks, tasks should be deployed to data
centers with low resource utilization as much as possible,
and resources are required during operation integration
[9-10].
(2) Resource virtualization
Virtualization means that the computing element is not
on the real physical machine but on the virtualized platform,
and the various components of the server are regarded as
basic resources, and these resources are abstracted to
optimize the solution [11]. If you want to have more
efficient management of resources, you must consider
virtualization technology. The advantages of virtualization
technology are: resource integration, the data center is
composed of a large number of servers, and multiple single
physical machines can be combined through virtualization
technology to improve performance. Resource migration,
virtualization technology can decouple the hardware

environment, save user data in a virtual machine, and
migrate the entire virtual machine to different platforms.
Virtual machine migration can trigger load balancing,
improve service quality, and reduce costs [12].
(3) Optimization of Minimum Energy Scheduling
Algorithm
The idea of the algorithm is to first find a small amount
of tasks according to the time weight, and map it to a server
with strong processing power. The minimum energy
scheduling algorithm finds the scheduling strategy that
minimizes the energy consumption of tasks. The
establishment of a data center is to have a huge resource
pool to provide services for users with different needs on the
Internet. For users, the most important concern is the
processing power provided and the required cost [13].
The server energy consumption equation can be
expressed as:
P used
= Pidle + ( Pbusy − Pidle) × u
(2)
Among them, P used
represents the actual energy
consumption, P idle
represents the energy consumption at
no load, P busy
represents the energy consumption at full
load, and u represents the utilization rate.
III. WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DATA TRANSMISSION
SYSTEM IN CLOUD ENVIRONMENT
A. Overall System Architecture Design
The structure diagram of the wireless communication
data transmission system is shown in Figure 1. The system
is mainly composed of six modules. The computer is
connected to the wireless system through the USB interface;
the USB controller realizes the control of the USB data and
the encapsulation of the USB protocol, and transmits the
processed data to the MCU; the MCU plays a core role in
the wireless transmission system, controlling the radio
frequency unit and realizing the The operation of USB data;
the antenna plays an important role in wireless
communication and is responsible for the transmission and
reception of wireless data. There are three solutions to
realize wireless communication data transmission, which
are three-chip, two-chip and single-chip implementation:
①USB controller, M CU, and radio frequency unit three
chips to realize wireless data transmission; ②Using USB
controller, MCU chip to integrate chip and radio frequency
unit , or the dual-chip of MCU, radio frequency unit
integrated chip and USB control chip to realize wireless
data transmission; ③Single chip to realize wireless data
transmission. From the perspective of cost and volume, the
single-chip solution is the best solution, that is, the three
functions of the USB controller, MCU, and radio frequency
unit are realized in a single-chip form.

scheduling algorithm and the virtual machine scheduling
algorithm when transmitting the same amount of data tasks
is compared, so as to reflect the energy saving effect of the
algorithm. The results are shown in Figure 2. It can be seen
from the figure that the energy consumption of both
algorithms increases with the increase of the data
transmission task amount. Compared with the virtual
machine scheduling algorithm, the minimum energy
scheduling algorithm consumes less energy and the energy
consumption increases relatively slowly. When the number
of data transmission tasks reaches 800, the energy
consumption of the minimum energy scheduling algorithm
is 37.1*10^5J, which is about 56.81% less than that of the
virtual machine scheduling algorithm. This is because the
minimum energy scheduling algorithm is scheduled
according to each transmission task. The virtual machine
scheduling algorithm focuses on the time required to
complete the task, and assigns tasks to the fastest data
resources first, so that the fast-processing data resources are
overloaded, and some data resources are idle during the
transmission process, resulting in energy consumption.
From the above simulation results, it can be seen that the
completion time of the minimum energy scheduling
algorithm is earlier than that of the virtual machine
scheduling algorithm, so the execution efficiency of the
minimum energy scheduling algorithm is better, and it is far
superior to the virtual machine scheduling algorithm in
terms of energy consumption.
V. CONCLUSION
In this paper, a wireless communication data
transmission system is designed. In the cloud environment,
the system uses the powerful data processing capability of
cloud computing to complete the transmission of wireless
communication data. In order to reduce the energy
consumption of system data transmission, this paper studies
the energy consumption optimization method, and applies
the optimization method to the data transmission system to
optimize the transmission process to reduce energy
consumption. Therefore, this paper conducts data
transmission simulation experiments on the minimum
energy scheduling algorithm and virtual machine scheduling
algorithm, and finds that the minimum energy scheduling
algorithm can significantly reduce the data transmission
