Abstract
The mobile network technology is rapid progress, but the computing resource has still been extremely limited. Therefore, the paper proposes the Computing Resource and Multimedia QoS Adaptation Control System for Mobile Appliances (CRMQ). It could control and adapt dynamically the resource usage ratio between the system processes and the application processes. To improve the battery life time of the mobile appliance, the proposed power adaptation control scheme is to dynamically adapt the power consumption of each medium stream based on its perception importance. The master stream (i.e., the audio stream) is allocated more electronic supply than the other streams (i.e., the background video). CRMQ system adapts the presentation quality of the multimedia service according to the available CPU, memory, and power resources. Simulation results reveal the performance efficiency of the CRMQ.
