Methods and apparatus are disclosed for reducing mobile terminal energy consumption during data transmissions by allocating resources and adapting link parameters in an energy-aware manner, based on throughput requirements and prevailing signal propagation conditions. A combination of transmit parameters designed to minimize the total energy consumed during data transmission is selected based on a throughput requirement and a path loss associated with a data transmission by a mobile terminal. The combination of transmit parameters includes a bandwidth allocation and may also include a modulation format, coding scheme, and transmit power setting, as well as parameters relating to multiple-antenna transmit schemes. The bandwidth allocation may correspond to a number of sub-carriers of an OFDM signal, or may correspond to a number of resource blocks in an SC-FDMA signal.
