  • Since the RTP is suitable for real-time data transmission in multimedia services like VoD, AoD, and VoIP, it has been adopted as a real-time transport protocol by RTSP, H.323, and SIP. Even though the RTP protocol stack for embedded systems has been in great need for efficient support of multimedia services, such a stack has not been developed yet. In this paper, we explain embeddedRTP which supports the RTP protocol stack at the kernel level so that it is suitable for embedded systems. Since embeddedRTP is designed to reside in the UBP module, existing applications which rely ell TCP/IP services can proceed the same as before, while applications which rely on the RTP protocol stack can request HTP services through embeddedRTp API. EmbeddedRTP stores transmitted RTP packets into per session packet buffer, using the packet's port number and multimedia session information. Communications between applications and embeddedRTP is performed through system calls and signal mechanisms. Additionally, embeddedRTP API makes it possible to develop applications more conveniently. Our performance test shows that packet-processing speed of embeddedRTP is about 7.5 times faster than that oi VCL RTP for multimedia streaming services on PDA in spite that its object code size is reduced about by 58% with respect to UCL RTP's.

  • On-Board Diagnostic(OBD) systems are in most cars and light trucks on the load today. During the 1970's and early 1980's manufacturers started using electronic means to control engine functions and diagnose engine problems. The CARB's diagnostic requirements to meet EPA emission standards have been designated as OBD with a goal of monitoring all of the emissions-related components, as well as the chassis, body, accessory devices and the diagnostic control network of the vehicle for proper operation. In this paper, we present a remote measurement system for the wireless monitoring of diagnosis signal and sensors output signals of ECU adopted KWP2000, united the OBD communication protocol, on OBD-compliant vehicle using the wirless communication technique of Bluetooth. In order to measure the ECU signals, the interface circuit is designed to communicate ECU and designed terminal wirelessly according to the ISO, SAE regulation of communication protocol standard. A microprocessor S3C3410X is used for communicating ECU signals. The embedded system's software is programmed to measure the ECU signals using the ARM compiler and ANCI C based on MicroC/OS kernel to communicate between bluetooth modules using bluetooth stack. The diagnostic system is developed using Visual C++ MFC and protocol stack of bluetooth for Windows environment. The self-diagnosis and sensor output signals of ECU is able to monitor using PC with bluetooth board connected in serial port of PC. The algorithms for measuring the ECU sensor output and self-diagnostic signals are verified to monitor ECU state. At the same time, the information to fix the vehicle's problem can be shown on the developed monitoring software. The possibility for remote measurement of self-diagnosis and sensor signals of ECU adopted KWP2000 in embedded system verified through the developed systems and algorithms.

  • Nowadays, one of the important functionalities required from robot task planners is to generate plans to compose existing component services into a new service. In this paper, we introduce the design and implementation of a heuristic search planner, JPLAN, as a kernel module for component service composition. JPLAN uses a local search algorithm and planning graph heuristics. The local search algorithm, EHC+, is an extended version of the Enforced Hill-Climbing(EHC) which have shown high efficiency applied in state-space planners including FF. It requires some amount of additional local search, but it is expected to reduce overall amount of search to arrive at a goal state and get shorter plans. We also present some effective heuristic extraction methods which are necessarily needed for search on a large state-space. The heuristic extraction methods utilize planning graphs that have been first used for plan generation in Graphplan. We introduce some planning graph heuristics and then analyze their effects on plan generation through experiments.

  • As NAND flash storage is being widely used, its simulation methodologies have been studied in various aspects such as performance, reliability, and endurance. As a result, there have been advances in NAND flash storage simulation for both functional modeling and timing modeling. However, in addition to these advances, there is a need to drastically reduce the long simulation time that is required to evaluate the aging effect on flash storage. This paper proposes a so-called multi-core scalable real-time flash storage simulation method, which can control the simulation speed according to the user's preference. According to this method, it is possible to speed up the simulation in proportion to the number of CPU cores arbitrarily given while guaranteeing the correctness of the simulation result. Using our simulator implemented in the form of the Linux kernel module, we demonstrate the multi-core scalability and correctness of the proposed method.

  • In this paper, we propose a socket interface layer for large-scale multimedia servers that adopt TCP/IP Offload Engines (TOE). In order to provide legacy network applications with binary level compatibility, the socket interface layer intercepts all socket-related system calls to forward to either TOE or legacy TCP/IP Protocol stack. The layer is designed and implemented as a kernel module in Linux. The layer is located between BSD socket layer and INET socket layer, and passes the application's socket requests to INET socket layer or TOE. The layer provides multimedia servers and web servers with the following features: (1) All standard socket APIs and file I/O APIs that are supported (2) Support for binary level compatibility of existing socket programs (3) Support for TOE and legacy Ethernet NICs at the same time.

  • In this paper, intelligent methods using digital protective relay in power supervisory control system is developed in order to protect power systems by means of timely fault detection and diagnosis during operation for induction motor which has various load environments and capacities in power systems. The spectrum pattern of input currents was used to monitor to state of induction motors, and by clustering the spectrum pattern of input currents, the newly occurrence of spectrums pattern caused by faults were detected. For diagnosis of the fault detected, the fuzzy fault tree was derived, and the fuzzy relation equation representing the relation between an induction motor fault and each fault type, was solved. The solution of the fuzzy relation equation shows the possibility of each fault's occurring. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1) The test result on the basis of KEMC1120 and IEC60255, show that the operation time error of the digital motor protective relay is improved within ${\pm}5%$. 2) Using clustering algorithm by unsupervisory learning, an on-line fault detection method, not affected by the characteristics of loads and rates, was implemented, and the degree of dependency by experts during fault detection was reduced. 3) With the fuzzy fault tree, fault diagnosis process became systematic and expandable to the whole system, and the diagnosis for sub-systems can be made as an object-oriented module.

  • This paper is about the research of the User Agent implementation under wireless embedded environment, using SIP which is one of protocol components construct the VoIP system. The User Agent is made of the User Agent configuration block, the device thread block to control devices and the SIP stack block to process SIP messages. The device thread consists of the RTP thread and the sound lard device processing block. Futhermore, the SIP stack consist of the worker thread to process proxy events, the SIP transceiver and SIP thread to transfer and receive SIP messages. The H/W platform is a board included the Intel's XScale PXA255 processor, flash memory, SDRAM, Audio CODEC module and wireless LAN threough PCMCIA socket, furthermore a microphone and headphone is used by the audio 1/0. The system has embedded linux kernel 2.4.19. For embedded environment, the function of User Agent and SIP method is diminished. Finally, the resource of system could be reduced about $12.9\%$, compared to overall system resource, by minimizing peripherals control and excepting TCP.

  • IPS(Intrusion Prevention Systems), which is installed in inline mode in a network, protects network from outside attacks by inspecting the incoming/outgoing packets and sessions, and dropping the packet or closing the sessions if an attack is detected in the packet. In the signature based filtering, the payload of a packet passing through IPS is matched with some attack patterns called signatures and dropped if matched. As the number of signatures increases, the time required for the pattern matching for a packet increases accordingly so that it becomes difficult to develop a high performance US working without packet delay. In this paper, we propose a high performance IPS based on signature hashing to make the pattern matching time independent of the number of signatures. We implemented the proposed scheme in a Linux kernel module in a PC and tested it using worm generator, packet generator and network performance measure instrument called smart bit. Experimental results show that the performance of existing method is degraded as the number of signatures increases whereas the performance of the proposed scheme is not degraded.

  • Traditional technologies that are used to improve the performance of hard disk drives show many negative cases if they are applied to solid state drives (SSD). Access time and block sequence in hard disk drives that consist of mechanical components are very important performance factors. Meanwhile, SSD provides superior random read performance that is not affected by block address sequence due to the characteristics of flash memory. Practically, it is recommended to disable prefetching if a SSD is installed in a personal computer. However, this paper presents a combinational method of a prefetching scheme and a memory management that consider the internal structure of SSD and the characteristics of NAND flash memory. It is important that SSD must concurrently operate multiple flash memory chips. The I/O unit size of NAND flash memory tends to increase and it exceeded the block size of operating systems. Hence, the proposed prefetching scheme performs in an operating unit of SSD. To complement a weak point of the prefetching scheme, the proposed memory management scheme adaptively evicts uselessly prefetched data to maximize the sum of cache hit rate and prefetch hit rate. We implemented the proposed schemes as a Linux kernel module and evaluated them using a commercial SSD. The schemes improved the I/O performance up to 26% in a given experiment.
