Novel transmission mechanisms are imperatively needed to cope with the exponential growth of mobile traffic and its associated power consumption. To address such challenges, we present lookahead video delivery schemes that jointly improve the streaming experience and reduce BS power consumption. This is accomplished by exploiting knowledge of future wireless rates users are anticipated to face. Such an approach is useful for delivering stored videos that can be strategically buffered in advance at the users' devices. For instance, a user leaving the cell center may have content prebuffered efficiently before poor channel conditions prevail. This will save energy as transmission will not be needed during poor conditions. In this paper, we first formulate Lookahead Resource Allocation (LRA) as a multi-cell optimization problem that leverages predictions of user mobility rates. Then, we present centralized and distributed algorithms that closely follow the benchmark results of the optimal solution. Numerical results demonstrate that significant improvements in video streaming and BS power consumption are achievable by the LRA strategies.
