Adaptive Regulation of Sampling Rates for Power Efficient Embedded Control system Design (1802.04800v1)

Abstract: In recent times adaptive regulation of sampling rates has gained significant attention in research community and researchers has demonstrated it's effectiveness in embedded control applications from different perspectives. In low power embedded control systems, the sampling rate of the control tasks has a direct relationship with control performance and power consumption. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of improving the power efficiency of low power embedded control systems by regulating the sampling rate of the control tasks. On this regard, we present algorithmic approaches for on-line regulation of sampling rates of the control task under some power-performance trade-off. We present elaborative results which demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed approaches.
