The article is devoted to the research of the peripheral server energy consumption managing process defined based on the threshold policy by manipulating the values of the characteristic parameters of the arithmetic-logical complex of the latter. The research object is formalized by a Markov queue model with a single-threshold control scheme for the intensity of accepted requests service. A characteristic feature of the life cycle of a peripheral server is the non-stationary mode of operation in terms of energy consumption, due to the need to periodically poll the controlled sensor network and process the received data in real-time. To take into account this circumstance, the intensities of transitions in the heterogeneous birth-and-death Markov process of the created model are interpreted as non-random periodic functions of time. The resulting mathematical apparatus is summarized in the metric that allows us to estimate the target peripheral server’s energy consumption both at a specific moment and for a censored time interval (this distinguishes the obtained result from existing analogs).
