The CAN (Controller Area Network) system is the most dominant protocol for in-vehicle networking system because it provides bounded transmission delay among ECUs (Electronic Control Units) at data rates between 125Kbps and 1Mbps. And, many automotive companies have chosen the CAN protocol for their in-vehicle networking system such as chassis network system because of its excellent communication characteristics. However, the increasing number of ECUs and the need for more intelligent functions such as ADASs (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) or IVISs (In-Vehicle Information Systems) require a network with more network capacity and the real-time QoS (Quality-of-Service). As one approach to enhancing the network capacity of a CAN system, this paper introduces a CAN system with dual communication channel. And, this paper presents a distributed message allocation method that allocates messages to the more appropriate channel using forecast traffic of each channel. Finally, an experimental testbed using commercial off-the-shelf microcontrollers with two CAN protocol controllers was used to demonstrate the feasibility of the CAN system with dual communication channel using the distributed message allocation method.

Requirements for Distributed Monitoring and Control Networks (DMCN) differ greatly from those of typical data networks. Specifically, any DMCN technology which employs a fieldbus protocol is different from If network protocol TCP/IP. In general, one needs to integrate fieldbus protocol and TCP/IP to realize DMCN over IP network or internet Interoperability between devices and equipments is essential to enhance the quality and the performance of predictive maintenance (PM). This paper suggests a basic framework for LonWorks-based DMCN over IP network and a method to guarantee interoperability between devices and equipments.

USB has arguably become the most successful PC peripheral interconnect ever defined. As appearing UWB, wireless USB (WUSB) emerges very popular technology. However, the distributed Medium Access Control (MAC) does not harmonize with the topology of WUSB. In this paper, we address a novel MAC protocol for conformity with WUSB. The protocol is to handle negotiation on Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP) including the channel time slot of WUSB.

This paper introduces prototype design of 765kV Substation control system based on fiber optics LAN and distributed network protocol. Two major important facts, immunity of any surge which frequently occurs in Ultra High Voltage Substation and the most suitable communication protocol for substation control system, are considered on the system design conception. To meet the first fact, use of fiber optics cable and isolation transformer are considered, and to satisfy the second fact, DNP3.0(Distributed Network Protocol) which is IEC870-5 compatible is adopted.

Recent trends in internet access to the device network require that information be provided from anywhere in the enterprise. One then needs to integrate both device network protocol and data network protocol to realize Virtual Device Network (VDN). Interoperability between devices and equipments is essential to enhance the quality and the performance of VDN. LonWorks technology is incorporated as device network protocol for interoperability. VDN integrating both device network and data network has varying time delay. Inherent varying time delay of VDN can significantly degrade the reliability of Distributed Control System. This study investigates the transmission characteristics of VDN and s...

A graph traversal technique is a certain pattern of visiting nodes of a graph. Many special traversal techniques have been applied to solve graph related problems. For example, the depth first search technique has been used for finding strongly onnected components of a directed graph or biconnected components of a general graph. The distributed protocol to implement his depth first search technique on the distributed network can be divided into a fixed topology problem where there is no topological change and a dynamic topology problem which has some topological changes. Therefore, in this paper, we present a more efficient distributed depth first search protocol with fixed topology and a resilient distributed depth first search protocol where there are topological changes for the distributed network. Also, we analysed the message and time complexity of the presented protocols and showed the improved results than the complexities of the other distributed depth first search protocols.

This dissertation suggests and implements a middle level network which is called PICNET-NP (Plant Implementation and Control Network for Nuclear Power Plant). PICNET-NP is based partly on IEEE 802.4 token-passing bus access method and partly on IEEE 802.3 physical layer. For this purpose a new interface a physical layer service translator, is introduced. A control network using this method is implemented and applied to a distributed real-time system. To verify the performance of proposed protocol experimental were carried out, and the following results are obtained. 1) proper initialization of the protocol. 2) normal receiving and transmission of data. 3) proper switching of transmission media in case of a fault condition on the one of transmission media. The proposed protocol exhibits the excellent performance in the experimental system. From the test results in the experimental system, the proposed protocol, PICNET-NP, can be used for the upgrading of a nuclear power plant and the distributed control system in the next generation of nuclear power plant.

In order to satisfy the requirements of time reduction and cost saving for development of electronic control systems(ECU) in automotive industry, the applications of a standardized real-time operating system(RTOS) and a communication protocol to ECUs are increased. In this study, a body control module(BCM) that employs OSEK/VDX(open system and corresponding interfaces for automotive electronics/vehicle distributed executive) OS tour the RTOS and a controller area network(CAN) fur the communication protocol is designed, and the performances of the system are evaluated. The BCM controls doors, mirrors, and windows of the vehicle through the in-vehicle network. To identify all the transmitted and received control messages, a PC connected with the CAN communication protocol behaves as a CAN bus emulator. The control system based upon in-vehicle network improves the system stability and reduces the number of wiring harness. Furthermore it is easy to maintain and simple to add new features because the system is designed based on the standards of RTOS and communication protocol.

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient proactive data dissemination protocol with relatively low delay to cope well with highly mobile sink environments in sensor networks. In order for a dissemination tree to continuously pursue a dynamic sink, we exploit two novel algorithms: forward sink advertisement and distributed fast recovery. In our protocol, the tree is shared with the other slave sinks so that we call it Dynamic Shared Tree (DST) protocol. DST can conserve considerable amount of energy despite maintaining robust connection from all sources to sinks, since tree maintenance of DST is accomplished by just distributed local exchanges. In addition, since the DST is a kindof sink-oriented tree, each source on the DST disseminates data with lower delay along the tree and it also facilitates in-network processing. Through simulations, it is shown that the presented DST is considerably energy-efficient, robust protocol with low delay compared to Directed Diffusion, TTDD, and SEAD, in highly mobile sink environment.

Since the number of user-requests increases dramatically on the Internet, the servers and networks can be swamped unexpectedly without any prior notice. Therefore, the end-users are waiting or refused for the responses of the contents from the originating servers. To solve this problem, it has been considered that a distributed web caching system efficiently utilizes structural elements of the network. Because a distributed web caching system uses the caches that are close to end-users on the network, it transmits the contents to users faster than the original network system. This paper proposes a simple client-based distributed web caching system(2HRCS) that client can directly perform object allocation and load balancing without an additional DNS for load balancing in CARP (Cache Array Routing Protocol) and GHS (Global Hosting System) that are the recent distributed web caching system protocol. The proposed system reduces the cost of setup and operation by removing DNS that needs to balance the load in the existing system. The system has clients with consistent hashing method, so it extends its environment to other distributed web caching system that has caches of different capacity. A distributed web caching system is composed and tested to evaluate the performance. As a result, it shows superior performance to consistent hashing system. Because this system can keep performance of the existing system and reduce costs, it has the advantage of constructing medium or small scale CDN (Contents Delivery Network).
