Can you use a normal voltage level for VLSI devices in handling high-priority traffic and a lower voltage level for low-priority traffic? Explain clearly.

What will be an ideal response?


Yes, voltage scaling can be used for traffic of different priorities. In a wireless network, we have a limited battery power available. A higher supply voltage means more power. Therefore, if we are given a high priority traffic and a low priority traffic, then it would make sense to use a high (or normal) voltage for the higher priority traffic. Likewise, the lower priority traffic could be made to operate on a lower voltage and it would consume less power than it would otherwise consume. This results in some power saving.
