This paper presents a scheme to enhance fixed priority scheduling algorithms on multiprocessors. This scheme gives the highest priority to jobs with zero laxity and schedules them Prior to other jobs. A fixed priority algorithm employing this scheme strictly dominates the original one; it can schedule all task sets schedulable by the fixed priority algorithm and some task sets not schedulable by the fixed priority algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves fixed priority algorithms in terms of the number of schedulable task sets and schedulable utilization bound.

Satellite application services can be divided into realtime services like voice communications and non-real time services like traditional data communications. To support both types of services on the same On-Board Switching(OBS), a scheduler which depends on their service classes is required. A fixed priority scheduling policy has a starvation problem. In this paper we propose a scheduling scheme based on premium and age. Premium is a fixed value which is given to a certain class of services. Age is another parameter of the scheduling policy and it will be increased by one for every scheduling cycle. The scheme we propose chooses a packet which has the largest sum of its age and premium. Simulation results indicate that the proposed approach shows better performance in both average cell delay and std-dev of cell delay for the lower class of service. There is no staying in infinite starvation state.

This paper compares and studies scheduling methods to reduce jitter in real-time control systems. While previous research has focused on dynamic-priority scheduling schemes, this paper focuses on fixed-priority scheduling which is more widely used. It is pointed out that previously defined jitter measures might not be useful in enhancing the control performance of a real-time task because the measures are relative values. We present a new jitter measure and a new scheduling scheme for fixed-priority tasks. The experimental results through simulation show that the new scheduling scheme reduces jitter and enhances control performance.

Dynamic voltage scaling(DVS), which adjusts the clock speed and supply voltage dynamically, is an effective technique in reducing the energy consumption of embedded real-time systems. The energy efficiency of a DVS algorithm largely depends on the performance of the slack estimation method used in it. In this paper, we propose novel DVS algorithms for periodic hard real-time tasks based on an improved slack estimation algorithm. Unlike the existing techniques, the proposed method can be applied to most priority-driven scheduling policies. Especially, we apply the proposed slack estimation method to EDF and RM scheduling policies. The experimental results show that the DVS algorithms using the proposed slack estimation method reduce the energy consumption by 20∼40 % over the existing DVS algorithms.

We address the problem of energy-optimal voltage scheduling for fixed-priority hard real-time systems. First, we prove that the problem is NP-hard. Then, we present a fully polynomial time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for the problem. for any $\varepsilon$>0, the proposed approximation scheme computes a voltage schedule whose energy consumption is at most (1+$\varepsilon$) times that of the optimal voltage schedule. Furthermore, the running time of the proposed approximation scheme is bounded by a polynomial function of the number of input jobs and 1/$\varepsilon$. Experimental results show that the approximation scheme finds more efficient voltage schedules faster than the best existing heuristic.

무선 모바일 환경에서 통신 장비의 에너지와 전송 대역폭의 제한을 해결하기 위하여 방송기법을 사용한다. 기존의 방송 스케줄링 방법들은 고정된 데이터 요청 빈도를 바탕으로 방송 스트림을 구성하기 때문에 사용자의 요구가 동적으로 변화하는 모바일 환경에서 활용하는 것은 비효율적이다. 또한 사용자의 우선순위를 고려하지 않음으로써 요청빈도가 낮은 데이터를 원하는 중요한 사용자가 오랜 시간 대기하는 상황이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 DNPS와 FPDNPS 방법은 실제 방송 청취를 시작한 사용자들의 프로파일 정보를 바탕으로 방송 스트림을 구성함으로써 동적인 변화를 반영할 분만 아니라, 사용자의 우선순위를 함께 고려함으로써 중요한 사용자의 대기시간을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 동시에 여러 개의 데이터를 요청하는 사용자들의 대기시간을 단축시키는 FPDNPS 알고리즘을 다중 채널환경으로 확장한 M-FPDNPS를 제안하고 실험을 통해 성능을 평가한다.

In mobile computing environments, data broadcasting is widely used to resolve the problem of limited power and bandwidth of mobile equipments. However, the previous broadcast scheduling methods can be inefficient in the environment where the user requests change dynamically since they are based on static data requests. Moreover, a high-priority user can wait long for infrequently requested data because they never consider the priority of listeners. In this paper, we propose a new broadcast scheduling method that reflects dynamic changes of user requests using user profiles. It also reflects user priorities to reduce the access time of high-priority users. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method through simulation.

The purpose of this paper is to minimize the a slack computation time of the scheduling of a soft aperiodic real-time tasks in a fixed priority real-time system. The proposed algorithm reduces the computation overhead at on-line time and supports the maximum slack time assigned for aperiodic real-time tasks. The proposed algorithm has 10~20% more response time for aperiodic real-time tasks than that of Slack Stealing Algorithm that offers optimal response time in fixed priority real-time system. However, the performance of the proposed algorithm is seven times better in a scheduling overhead.

The automotive electronic system should provide a method that can be safely performed by loading a number of application programs having time constraints in several electronic control devices. In this paper, we propose a timing protection mechanism for AUTOSAR, which is a real - time operating system specification for automotive field, in order to observe the deadline of each task when scheduling real - time tasks. We propose a dynamic non-preemption algorithm to guarantee a flexible deadline for fixed priority or dynamic priority tasks, and a location where execution time can be monitored for errors, and suggest ways to implement the AUTOSAR time protection mechanism.
