Lazy scheduling, i.e. setting transmit power and rate in response to data
traffic as low as possible so as to satisfy delay constraints, is a known
method for energy efficient transmission.This paper addresses an online lazy
scheduling problem over finite time-slotted transmission window and introduces
low-complexity heuristics which attain near-optimal performance.Particularly,
this paper generalizes lazy scheduling problem for energy harvesting systems to
deal with packet arrival, energy harvesting and time-varying channel processes
simultaneously. The time-slotted formulation of the problem and depiction of
its offline optimal solution provide explicit expressions allowing to derive
good online policies and algorithms
