Power‐efficient real‐time scheduling based on multi‐granularity resource reservation for multimedia services

Abstract

Recent advances in mobile technologies have led to improved quality of multimedia services (QoMS) in a variety of mobile devices. Because multimedia has become a major form of content consumption for mobile users, satisfying user expectation on QoMS in energy-restricted mobile devices is critical. This need has motivated us to develop an aggressive and conservative low-power work demand analysis with multi-granularity (lpWDA-MG-AGG/CON) algorithm, designed to minimise power consumption in mobile devices by utilising a dynamic voltage scaling technique while simultaneously ensuring QoMS based on a resource reservation scheme. In addition, the authors analytically showed the schedulability of the proposed scheme under the rate monotonic scheduling policy. For performance evaluation, the authors implemented the two lpWDA-MG algorithms and several existing algorithms in a Linux operating system. Specifically, the authors measured power consumption with a power metre and determined that the proposed algorithms consume about 40% less dynamic power than the other existing algorithms. Moreover, the authors found that the proposed algorithms ensure acceptable QoMS.
