Depending on traffic density and environmental influences, the radio channel in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) can be a limited resource. The Shannon-Hartley theorem gives a theoretical maximum amount of data which can be transmitted per time unit under given channel conditions. This limitation can be exceeded by using multi-antenna approaches commonly known as multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. While these systems are already common in both infrastructural Wireless LAN (i.e. IEEE 802.11n or IEEE 802.11ac) and in modern cellular mobile networks (i.e. Long Term Evolution), the IEEE 802.11p standard for vehicleto- vehicle communication still comes without any multi-antenna approaches. In this paper we show in a simulation study that compared to plain IEEE 802.11p a MIMO-extended PHY layer based on IEEE 802.11p offers a considerably higher robustness against short-term fading caused by the vehicles' mobility and other channel-caused adverseness. Therefore we implemented a MIMO-extended PHY model using Orthogonal Space-time Block Codes (OSTBC) and linked the PHY model to a realistic MIMO radio channel model that is based on a large measurement campaign.

In this paper we consider the case of a network of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) connected through a Flex Ray bus in the automotive domain. Multiple distributed applications can run on this underlying architecture, each partitioned into tasks that are mapped on different ECUs. These applications can often be executed in different functional modes with different requirements on the communication resources in terms of data size and sampling period. Moreover, new applications can be deployed on to the ECUs at run-time. To efficiently utilize the communication resources and accommodate new applications, a certain flexibility in reallocation of the resource is necessary. However, the Flex Ray bus requires static configuration of schedules and data mapping in order to guarantee a more deterministic system behavior, allowing little room for flexibility. In order to address this problem, we propose a reconfigurable communication middleware that lies between the application layer and the communication controller layer, which maps messages onto Flex Ray schedules, and can be reconfigured at runtime. The configuration is synthesized and deployed online, allowing a certain reallocation of communication resources to applications. In this paper, we describe the design of such a reconfigurable communication middleware and demonstrate its function with an implementation using industry-strength Flex Ray design tools.

We consider a real-time system of multiple tasks, each task having a plant to control. The overall quadratic control cost is to be optimized. We exploit the periodicity of the task response time, which corresponds to a periodic delay pattern in the feedback control loop. Perturbed periods are used as a tool to find a finite hyper period. We present an analytical procedure to design a periodic linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) controller for tasks with fixed execution times as well as a numerical solution to the periodic -- stochastic LQG problem for tasks with variable execution times. The controllers are evaluated using simulations in real-time scheduling and control co-design examples.
Guaranteed admission control decisions in embedded multicore platforms often cause a trade-off between predictability for utilisation. The state-of-the art shows that both these objectives cannot be optimised if the w...

The coded communications using non-coherent orthogonal modulation and capacity-approaching binary channel codes namely low-density parity check code (LDPC) and turbo code are investigated in this paper with the focus on the main three characteristic effects of an underwater channel, namely, multi-path propagation, Doppler spread and ambient noise. Additionally, a new method was implemented and tested successfully to identify and eliminate the highamplitude noise from the received dataset.
In this paper, we study non-preemptive uniprocessor realtime scheduling using the non-preemptive RM (npRM) and EDF (npEDF) scheduling algorithms. We discuss the limitations of existing studies, identifying pessimism i...

Current mobile devices extensively run video players that are power hungry. Further, higher power densities as a result of technology scaling results in higher on-chip temperatures. Unlike general purpose computersystems, mobile devices that run on batteries cannot afford to have expensive cooling mechanisms. Therefore, in order to satisfy thermal constraints while running power hungry applications, dynamic thermal management (DTM) techniques have been employed. For multimedia applications, the techniques primarily relied on dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) and dynamic power management (DPM) while taking care that maximum video quality is achieved. However, no prior work has exploited frame drops to lower the inserted idle times under predetermined quality constraints. In this work, we propose a DPM framework that utilizes frame drops to dynamically insert low idle times in order to satisfy a peak temperature constraint under a given quality constraint. This also reduces the end-to-end latency. The latencies are further reduced by maintaining lightweight workload histories. For the videos used in our experiments, it was observed that a small reduction in quality of 2 dB (reduction from 32 dB to 30 dB) due to frame drops in motion videos results in a maximum latency reduction of 1.7 sec.
