Lunching Real-time IoT Applications on Energy-aware Embedded Platforms

Abstract

The rapid growth of information and communication technologies and increasednumber of internet connectionsduring the last few years has led to the extensive use of various IoT applications. Nowadays,IoT applications arebuilt using various embedded platforms with constrained processing and energy resources. Achieving real-time performance in such IoT systems, with more efficient usage or with limited energy resources, can bea serious challenge. In this papera set of parameters, that control theoperation of IoT end-devices, and in this way affecting overall IoT system consumption and its real-time behavior are introduced. To investigate and illustrate overall influence on the power consumption, we have designed an adequate simulation environment. The simulation of the simplified data producer-consumer configuration in IoT edge tier, under push-based communication model, have confirmed that careful tuning of the identified set of parameters can lead to more efficient IoT end-device operation under the given real-timeconstrain.
