최근 임베디드 시스템이 이용되는 이동체나 자동화 공장에서 각 디바이스들간의 분배된 작업이 정확한 시간에 맞추어 작동 할 것을 요구하고 있어 시간 동기화는 중요하게 인식되고 있다. 각각의 시스템은 자기의 시계를 가지고 처리되기 때문에 이들간의 시간 정보의 오차를 적게 하여야 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 SNTP 프로토콜을 이용해 타임서버로부터 시간의 단위를 정하여 단위 간격마다 시간을 여러 번 확인하여 오차를 조정하고, 실험을 통해 평균오차와 최대오차를 구하여 시간 동기화 시점을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 시간 동기화 시점을 미리 조정하여 다음 장치들 간의 통신 시점에서 동기화를 할 경우 오차를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 Rabbit Board 6700 으로 구현하고 검증하여 이를 시간적 정밀함이 요구되는 응용분야에 적용할 수 있게 한다.

RTLS is a system for automatically locating and tracking people and objects. The TDOA-based RTLS determines the location of the tag by calculating the time differences of a signal received from the tag. In TDOA-based RTLS, time synchronization is essential to calculate the time difference between readers. This paper presents a precision time synchronization method for TDOA-based RTLS over IEEE 802.15.4. In order to achieve precision time synchronization in IEEE 802.15.4 radio, we analyzed the error factors of delay and jitter. We also deal with the implementation of hardware assisted time stamping and the Kalman filtering method to minimize the error factors. In addition, this paper described the experiments and performance evaluation of the proposed precision time synchronization method in IEEE 802.15.4 radio. The results show that the nodes in a network can maintain their clocks to within 10 nanoseconds offset from the reference clock.

In may automated systems such as manufacturing systems and process plants, an industrial network or fieldbus is a very important component for the exchange of various and sometimes crucial information. Some of the information has a tendency to rapidly lose its value as time elapses after its creation. Such information or data is called real-time data that includes sensor values and control commands. In order to deliver these data in time, the fieldbus network should be tailored to have short delay with respect to the individual time limit of various data. Fine-tuning the network for a given traffic requires the knowledge on the relationship between the protocol parameters such as timer values and the performance measure such as network delay. This paper presents a mathematical performance model to calculate communication delays of the Profibus FMS network when the timer value TTR and the traffic characteristics are given. The results of this model is compared to those from experiments to assess the model's validity.

This paper presents the development of intelligent performance management of computer communication networks for larger-scale integrated systems and the demonstration of its efficacy using computer simula- tion. The innermost core of the performance management is based on fuzzy set theory. This fuzzy perfor- mance manager has learning ability by using principles of neuro-fuzzy model, neuralnetwork, genetic algo- rithm(GA). Two types of performance managers are described in this paper. One is the Neuro-Fuzzy Per- formance Manager(NFPM) of which learning ability is based on the conventional gradient method, and the other is GA-based Neuro-Fuzzy Performance Manager(GNFPM)with its learning ability based on a genetic algorithm. These performance managers have been evaluated via discrete event simulation of a computer network.

This paper focuses on development and evaluation of a performance management algorithm for IEEE 802.4 token bus networks to serve large-scale integrated manufacturing systems. Such factory automation networks have to satisfy delay constraints imposed on time-critical messages while maintaining as much network capacity as possible for non-time-critical messages. This paper presents a network performance manager that adjusts queue capacity as well as timers by using a set of fuzzy rules and fuzzy inference mechanism. The efficacy of the performance management has been demonstrated by a series of simulation experiments.

In a distributed processing environment composed of many independent systems connected by networks, it is very important and difficult to make time synchronization between the systems. Especially in the USN environment the time synchronization is still more difficult than in general distributed processing environment because energy is limited and communication function is feeble. Even though of these difficulties, the USN environment requires higher precision of time synchronization. We of the typical applications requesting very strict time synchronization in USN is TDMA MAC. This paper proposes and evaluates a new time synchronization protocol HTSP(Hierarchical Time Synchronization Protocol) which is an advanced version of the FTSP(Flooding Time Synchronization Protocol) published recently. The time synchronization precision of the HTSP is equal to that of the FTSP, but the energy consumption of the HTSP is lower than that of the FTSP owing to the reduced number of broadcast messages. The simulation results show that the energy consumption of the HTSP is only 74% of that of the FTSP.

This study aims to develop the Vehicle Local Dynamic Map (V-LDM) and demonstrate its performance for providing dynamic map data efficiently to the vehicle control module. Firstly, the concept of the in-vehicle LDM has been established and then the system has been carefully designed according to the international standards. The high-precision digital map embedded in LDM has been designed to incorporate the lane-level information of road network, and the Dynamic Map protocol (DM protocol) which is a message protocol including the road data with dynamic traffic event data has been defined. The performance test of the proposed system has been conducted in the uninterrupted road section of Kyungbu expressway, showing that both of the data size and the elapsed time to finish the process are almost linearly proportional to the length of target road. Finally, it is recommended that the length of target road for DM protocol be less than 250m.

인터넷을 통한 정보 전달 방법은 Ethernet과 ATM, CAN과 같은 다양한 통신 전달 프로토콜 및 방법을 통해 이루어지고 있다. 현재 연구된 네트웍상의 시간 지연 현상에 대한 연구는 일부네트웍 모델을 바탕으로 연구되고 있으나 다양한 통신 환경 하에서 발생하는 시간 지연 현상에 대해 최적의 모델링 방법을 제시해 주고 있지 못하고 있다. 따라서 다양한 네트웍 환경에 적합하도록 인터넷기반 비동기 샘플치 시스템 모델에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 아울러 인터넷을 통해 구성된 폐루프 시스템은 기존 제어 시스템과 다른 동작 특성과 외란 특성을 가지므로 인터넷 환경에 적합하게 설계된 견실 제어 방법이 필요하다. 따라서 안정성이 극히 요구되는 각종 산업기기 등에 대한 웹기반 정밀 원격 제어를 원활히 수행하기 위해서는 웹 환경에 최적화된 강인 제어 이론 개발이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 원격지 플랜트에 대한 실시간 원격 제어를 안정적 및 효율적으로 수행하도록 인터넷상의 데이터 전송시 시간 지연 현상 분석 및 인터넷 기반 제어시스템의 전달 특성 분석하였다.

The Android OS has quickly established itself with the smartphone market and is being applied in a variety of ways such as navigation and refrigerator panels. Existing terminals can implement services that require high precision while using RTOS that requires accurate execution time, but Android OS has a disadvantage in that it cannot provide high-precision real-time performance. In this paper, we propose a real-time communication method that operates in the Android OS. Real-time communication reduces the load using the UDP protocol, and configures the real-time operating system time tick through a high-precision timer in the kernel area. An Android application level library was created to implement real-time communication and compared with the existing Android library for real-time performance verification.
