An OP-TEE Energy-Efficient Task Scheduling Approach Based on Mobile Application Characteristics

Trusted Execution Environment(TEE)is an important part of the security architecture of modern mobile devices,but its secure interaction process brings extra computing burden to mobile devices.This paper takes open portable trusted execution environment(OP-TEE)as the research object and deploys it to Raspberry Pi 3B,designs and implements a benchmark for OP-TEE,and analyzes its program characteristics.Furthermore,the application execution time,energy consumption and energy-delay product(EDP)are taken as the optimization objectives,and the central processing unit(CPU)frequency scheduling strategy of mobile devices is dynamically adjusted according to the characteristics of different applications through the combined model.The experimental result shows that compared with the default strategy,the scheduling method proposed in this paper saves 21.18%on average with the Line Regression-Decision Tree scheduling model with the shortest delay as the optimization objective.The Decision Tree-Support Vector Regression(SVR)scheduling model,which takes the lowest energy consumption as the optimization goal,saves 22%energy on average.The Decision Tree-K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN)scheduling model with the lowest EDP as the optimization objective optimizes about 33.9%on average.

Optimal Size for Maximal Energy Efficiency in Information Processing of Biological Systems Due to Bistability

Energy efficiency is closely related to the evolution of biological systems and is important to their information processing. In this work, we calculate the excitation probability of a simple model of a bistable biological unit in response to pulsatile inputs, and its spontaneous excitation rate due to noise perturbation. Then we analytically calculate the mutual information, energy cost, and energy efficiency of an array of these bistable units. We find that the optimal number of units could maximize this array＇s energy efficiency in encoding pulse inputs, which depends on the fixed energy cost. We conclude that demand for energy efficiency in biological systems may strongly influence the size of these systems under the pressure of natural selection.

An efficient resource optimization scheme for D2D communication

With the rapid development of wireless technologies,wireless access networks have entered their Fifth-Generation(5G)system phase.The heterogeneous and complex nature of a 5G system,with its numerous technological scenarios,poses significant challenges to wireless resource management,making radio resource optimization an important aspect of Device-to-Device(D2D)communication in such systems.Cellular D2D communication can improve spectrum efficiency,increase system capacity,and reduce base station communication burdens by sharing authorized cell resources;however,can also cause serious interference.Therefore,research focusing on reducing this interference by optimizing the configuration of shared cellular resources has also grown in importance.This paper proposes a novel algorithm to address the problems of co-channel interference and energy efficiency optimization in a long-term evolution network.The proposed algorithm uses the fuzzy clustering method,which employs minimum outage probability to divide D2D users into several groups in order to improve system throughput and reduce interference between users.An efficient power control algorithm based on game theory is also proposed to optimize user transmission power within each group and thereby improve user energy efficiency.Simulation results show that these proposed algorithms can effectively improve system throughput,reduce co-channel interference,and enhance energy efficiency.

Mobile-agent-based energy-efficient scheduling with dynamic channel acquisition in mobile cloud computing

Mobile cloud computing（MCC） combines mobile Internet and cloud computing to improve the performance of mobile applications. However, MCC faces the problem of energy efficiency because of randomly varying channels. A scheduling algorithm is proposed by introducing the Lyapunov optimization, which can dynamically choose users to transmit data based on queue backlog and channel statistics. The Lyapunov analysis shows that the proposed scheduling algorithm can make a tradeoff between queue backlog and energy consumption in the channel-aware mobile cloud computing system. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

An Adaptive Bandwidth Allocation for Energy Efficient Wireless Communication Systems

In this paper, an energy efficient bandwidth allocation scheme is proposed for wireless communication systems. An optimal bandwidth expansion（OBE） scheme is proposed to assign the available system bandwidth for users. When the system bandwidth does not reach the full load, the remaining bandwidth can be energy-efficiently assigned to the other users. Simulation results show that the energy efficiency of the proposed OBE scheme outperforms the traditional same bandwidth expansion（SBE） scheme. Thus, the proposed OBE can effectively assign the system bandwidth and improve energy efficiency.

ETS-TEE: An Energy-Efficient Task Scheduling Strategy in a Mobile Trusted Computing Environment

A trusted execution environment(TEE)is a system-on-chip and CPU system with a wide security solution available on today’s Arm application(APP)processors,which dominate the smartphone market.Generally,mobile APPs create a trusted application(TA)in the TEE to process sensitive information,such as payment or message encryption,which is transparent to the APPs running in the rich execution environments(REEs).In detail,the REE and TEE interact and eventually send back the results to the APP in the REE through the interface provided by the TA.Such an operation definitely increases the overhead of mobile APPs.In this paper,we first present a comprehensive analysis of the performance of open-source TEE encrypted text.We then propose a high energy-efficient task scheduling strategy(ETS-TEE).By leveraging the deep learning algorithm,our policy considers the complexity of TA tasks,which are dynamically scheduled between modeling on the local device and offloading to an edge server.We evaluate our approach on Raspberry Pi 3B as the local mobile device and Jetson TX2 as the edge server.The results show that compared with the default scheduling strategy on the local device,our approach achieves an average of 38.0%energy reduction and 1.6×speedup.This greatly reduces the performance loss caused by mobile devices in order to protect the safe execution of applications,so that the trusted execution environment has both security and high performance.
