  • RTEMS is a real-time operating system using a GPLv2-based license, and is used in the aerospace industry, such as satellites. It is difficult to build a development environment for these special-purpose systems because of problems related to the hardware platform. This can be resolved by applying virtualization technology. However, increased execution time and performance degradation due to virtualization overhead can change timing behavior of real-time application, and needs to be minimized. In this paper, we aim to implement the network device driver of RTEMS for the standardized virtual network device called virtio in order to effectively utilize RTEMS in a virtualized environment. In addition, we describe the process of submitting implemented driver to the RTEMS community for contributing open source software and reflecting the various requirements of the community.

  • In recent, the cloud computing makes it possible to provide the on-demand provision of software, hardware, and data as a service in various IT fields. This paper uses the cloud computing techniques for the real time broadcasting service of virtual 3D contents. However, the existing related solutions have many problems that the load of the server is rapidly increased or the cost of the server is very high when the number of service users is increased. Therefore, we propose a new application virtualization method to solve these problems. It promises their stable operations in multi-user services because the proposed method does not execute the rendering commands of the application at the host server but delivers and executes them to clients via the Internet. Our performance experiments show that our proposed method outperforms the existing methods.

  • Recently virtualization has been one of the most popular research topics in system software area. While there already exist many commercial virtualization products for general-purpose computer system, little efforts are made to virtualize embedded system. In this paper, we design and implement a virtual machine monitor which divides each physical hardware resource of a embedded system into logical ones and reorganizes them into many virtual machines, which result in running several real-time operating systems concurrently on a single embedded system. We measure various performance metrics of the virtual machine monitor developed on a real embedded system. The results of the study show that our virtual machine monitor has enough potentiality of its application to real-world embedded systems.

  • Recently Service Function Chaining (SFC) is promising to innovate the network service mode in modern networks. However, a feasible implementation of SFC is still difficult due to the need to achieve functional equivalence with traditional modes without sacrificing performance or increasing network complexity. In this paper, we present a configurable network service chaining (CNSC) mechanism to provide services for network traffics in a flexible and optimal way. Firstly, we formulate the problem of network service chaining and design an effective service chain construction framework based on integrating software-defined networking (SDN) with network functions virtualization (NFV). Then, we model the service path computation problem as an integer liner optimization problem and propose an algorithm named SPCM to cooperatively combine service function instances with a network utility maximum policy. In the procedure of SPCM, we achieve the service node mapping by defining a service capacity matrix for substrate nodes, and work out the optimal link mapping policies with segment routing. Finally, the simulation results indicate that the average request acceptance ratio and resources utilization ratio can reach above 85% and 75% by our SPCM algorithm, respectively. Upon the prototype system, it is demonstrated that CNSC outperforms other approaches and can provide flexible and scalable network services.

  • The rapid growth of smart devices demands an enhanced throughput for network connection sustainability during mobility. However, traditional wireless network architecture suffers from mobility management issues. In order to resolve the traditional mobility management issues, we propose a novel architecture for future wireless access network based on software-defined network (SDN) by using the advantage of network function virtualization (NFV). In this paper, network selection approach (NSA) has been introduced for mobility management that comprises of acquiring the information of the underlying networking devices through the OpenFlow controller, percepts the current network behavior and later the selection of an appropriate action or network. Furthermore, mobility-related scenarios and use cases to analyze the implementation aspects of the proposed architecture are provided. The simulation results confirm that the proposed scenarios have obtained a seamless mobility with enhanced throughput at minimum packet loss as compared to the existing IEEE 802.11 wireless network.

  • In the fifth generation (5G) era, the radio internet protocol capacity is expected to reach 20 Gb/s per sector, and ultralarge content traffic will travel across a faster wireless/wireline access network and packet core network. Moreover, the massive and mission-critical Internet of Things is the main differentiator of 5G services. These types of real-time and large-bandwidth-consuming services require a radio latency of less than 1 ms and an end-to-end latency of less than a few milliseconds. By distributing 5G core nodes closer to cell sites, the backhaul traffic volume and latency can be significantly reduced by having mobile devices download content immediately from a closer content server. In this paper, we propose a novel solution based on software-defined network and network function virtualization technologies in order to achieve agile management of 5G core network functionalities with a proof-of-concept implementation targeted for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics and describe the results of interoperability testing experiences between two core networks.

  • The mobile computing has been a main mean of computing, because of recent development of smartphone and mobile communication network. The new service technologies, such as cloud computing, big data, SDN (Software Defined Network), and NFV (Network Function Virtualization), are appearing due to activating of the data center. These changes have brought various requirements for transport layer protocol. In addition, the transport protocol should have a extensible function to adapt additional technologies. This paper proposed that transport layer divide into three layer structure for extensible function, and designed the ETP(Extensible Transport Protocol) which is located in the bottom layer.

  • As the need for a flexible Internet grows, research for software and virtual routers has increased. Although software routers and virtual routers provide Internet flexibility, they have low performance compared with existing hardware routers. In addition, the low performance problem is intensified in virtual routers because they have virtualization overheads. GPU routing is one method of improving the performance of software routers. However, previous GPU routing is based on native software routers, which are not virtualized, and presents experimental simulation results only. In this paper, we examine the effect of GPU routing on a virtual router using PathSavanna. Our GPU routing is implemented on the virtual router and forwards real packets to another machine, which is connected by a network.

  • Modeling and Simulation(M&S) technology has been widely used to solve constraints such as time, space, safety, and cost when we implement the same development and test environments as real warfare environments to develop, test, and evaluate weapon systems for the last several decades. The integration and test environments employed for development and test & evaluation are required to provide Live Virtual Construction(LVC) simulation environments for carrying out requirement analysis, design, integration, test and verification. Additionally, they are needed to provide computing environments which are possible to reconfigure computing resources and software components easily according to test configuration changes, and to run legacy software components independently on specific hardware and software environments. In this paper, an Integration Test and Simulation for Engagement Control(ITSEC) bed using a bare-metal virtualization mechanism is proposed to meet the above test and simulation requirements, and it is applied and implemented for an air missile defense system. The engagement simulation experiment results conducted on air and missile defense environments demonstrate that the proposed bed is a sufficiently cost-effective and feasible solution to reconfigure and expand application software and computing resources in accordance with various integration and test environments.
