Analysis and improvements in energy consumption models for RTS

摘要

In this paper we perform an analysis of the main software methods for consumption reduction in real time systems (RTS). The study covers both scheduling methods and energy consumption models for RTS, where we focus on sensor nodes. Further on, we propose a new consumption model for a large number of node configurations, which suites most of the main scheduling algorithms. We also introduce a software environment which integrates the new model and provides a set of reports and graphical results to compare the power consumption efficiency of the scheduling algorithms.
