Giving tasks more urgent deadlines leads to shorter response times in EDF-based scheduling. This paper describes a technique that gives earlier deadlines by virtually advancing release times in the Total Bandwidth Server (TBS) context. This technique improves aperiodic tasks' responsiveness while it guarantees the schedulability of the system. Simulations show the technique outperforms TBS and its enhanced one.
