The compression of messages can improve schedulability by decreasing network latencies and contention at the cost of computational overhead for compression and decompression. Existing scheduling models do not consider compression as required for the deployment in distributed real-time systems. This paper presents an MILP model with decision variables, constraints and an objective function for selectively compressing messages as required for minimizing the system’s makespan, thereby optimizing the trade-off between communication time and computational overhead. We consider multi-hop communication in systems with multiple routers and computational nodes. The algorithm is evaluated using example scenarios and the results are compared to previous work without compression support.
