Energy Consumption Awareness for Resource-Constrained Devices
Ref: CISTER-TR-160405 Publication Date: 27 to 30, Jun, 2016Abstract:
The devices running embedded applications tend to
be battery-powered, and the energy efficiency of their operations
is an important enabler for the wide adoption of the Internetof-Things.
Optimization of energy usage depends on modelling
power consumption. A model-based simulation must consider
parameters that depend on the device used, the operating system,
and the distributed application under study. A realistic simulation
thus depends on knowledge regarding how and when devices
consume energy. Direct measurement in wireless sensors is a
common approach to evaluate the power consumed by the
embedded devices in their different execution states. This paper
presents an approach to direct measurement of consumed energy.
We present the architecture and the measurement process that
were implemented. Details are given regarding the setup of
the experimental tests, and a discussion of the results hints
at which architecture is the best for each application under
study. The presented methodology can be easily extended to
new architectures and applications, to streamline the process of
building realistic models of power consumption.
