Distributed control systems(DCS) using fieldbus such as CAN have been applied to process systems but it is very difficult to design the DCS while guaranteeing the given end-to-end constraints such as precedence constraints, time constraints, and periods and priorities of tasks and messages. This paper presents a scheduling method to guarantee the given end-to-end constraints. The presented scheduling method is the integrated one considering both tasks executed in each node and messages transmitted via the network and is designed to be applied to a general DCS that has multiple loops with several types of constraints, where each loop consists of sensor nodes with multiple sensors, actuator nodes with multiple actuators and controller nodes with multiple tasks. An assignment method of the optimal period of each loop and a heuristic assignment rule of each message's priority are proposed and the integrated scheduling method is developed based on them.

This paper addresses the problem of period and priority assignment in networked control systems (NCSs) using a fixed priority scheduler. The problem of assigning periods and priorities to tasks and messages is formulated as an optimization problem to allow for a systematic approach. The temporal characteristics of an NCS should be considered by defining an appropriate performance index (PI) which represents the temporal behavior of the NCS. In this study, the sum of the end-to-end response times required to process all I/Os with precedence relationships is defined as a PI. Constraints are derived from the task and message deadline requirements to guarantee schedulability. Genetic algorithms are used to solve this constrained optimization problem because the optimization formulation is discrete and nonlinear. By considering the effects of communication, an optimum set of periods and priorities can be holistically derived.

In this paper, the task assignment strategy considering communication delay and the priority of distributed tasks is proposed for the real-time network system in order to maximize the utilization of the system. For the task assignment strategy, the relationship among priority of tasks in network nodes, the calculation time of each task, and the end-to-end response time including the network delay is formulated firstly. Then, the task assignment strategy using the genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize the utilization of the system considering the LCM(Least Common Multiple) period. The effectiveness of proposed strategy is proven by the simulation for estimating the performance such as the utilization and the response time of the system in case of changing the number of tasks and the number of network nodes.

우선 순위 기반 MAC프로토콜에서 경쟁이 심한 경쟁접근구간은 더 많은 수의 충돌 및 재전송을 초래할 수 있다. 경쟁접근구간 동안 우선순위가 높은 트래픽은 우선순위가 낮은 트래픽을 지배하여 우선 순위가 낮은 트래픽이 고갈되어 WBAN 처리량, 지연 및 에너지 소비에 악영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 우선 순위가 낮은 트래픽에 대한 공정한 기회를 제공하기 위해 경쟁접근구간에서 경쟁을 줄이는 응급데이터-퍼스트-우선 순위 MAC(: EFP-MAC) 슈퍼 프레임 구조를 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안 된 EFP-MAC이 IEEE 802.15.4 표준에 비해 낮은 에너지 소비, 높은 처리량 및 낮은 대기 시간을 달성함을 보인다.

Researches about scheduling of the distributed real-time systems have been proposed. However, they have some weak points, not scheduling both sporadic and periodic tasks and messages or being unable to guaranteeing the end-to-end constraints due to omitting precedence relations between sporadic tasks. So this paper proposes a new scheduling method for distributed real-time systems consisting of sporadic and periodic tasks with precedence relations and sporadic and periodic messages, guaranteeing end-to-end constraints. The proposed method is based on a binary search-based period assignment algorithm, an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm, and three kinds of schedulability analysis, node, network, and end-to-end schedulability analysis. In addition, this paper describes the application model of sporadic tasks with precedence constraints in a distributed real-time system, shows that existing scheduling methods such as Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling are not proper to be applied to the system having sporadic tasks with precedence constraints, and proposes an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm.

The scheduling methods of the distributed real-time systems have been proposed. However, they have some weak points. They did not schedule both sporadic and periodic tasks and messages at the same time or did not consider the end-to-end constraints such as precedence relations between sporadic tasks. This means that system scheduling must guarantee the constraints of practical systems and be applicable to them. This paper proposes a new scheduling method that can be applied to more practical model of distributed real-time systems. System model consists of sporadic and periodic tasks with precedence relations and sporadic and periodic messages and has end-to-end constraints. The proposed method is based on a binary search-based period assignment algorithm, an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm, and three kinds of schedulability analysis, node, network, and end-to-end schedulability analysis. In addition, this paper describes the application model of sporadic tasks with precedence constraints in a distributed real-time system, shows that existing scheduling methods such as Rate Monotonic scheduling are not proper to be applied to the system having sporadic tasks with precedence constraints, and proposes an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm.

The IEEE 802.15.4 standard not only provides a maximum of seven guaranteed time slots (GTSs) for allocation within a superframe to support time-critical traffic, but also achieves ultralow complexity, cost, and power in low-rate and short-distance wireless personal area networks (WPANs). Real-time wireless body area sensor networks (WBASNs), as a special purpose WPAN, can perfectly use the IEEE 802. 15. 4 standard for its wireless connection. In this paper, we propose an adaptive GTS allocation scheme for real-time WBASN data transmissions with different priorities in consideration of low latency, fairness, and bandwidth utilization. The proposed GTS allocation scheme combines a weight-based priority assignment algorithm with an innovative starvation avoidance scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the existing GTS implementation for the traditional IEEE 802.15.4 in terms of average delay, contention free period bandwidth utilization, and fairness.

본 논문에서는 통계적 패킷 음성/데이터 다중화기의 성능을 연구하였다. 성능해석은 음성과 데이터가 서로 분리된 한정된 queue를 사용하고, 전송에 있어서 음성이 데이터보다 우선권을 갖는 것을 가정하고, 다중화기의 출력 link를 시간 slot단위로 나누고 음성은 (M+1)-state의 Markov Process로, 데이터는 Poisson process로 modeling 하여 수행하였다. 전송시 음성신호가 데이터 신호보다 우선권을 가지므로 음성의 queueing behavior는 data에 거의 영향을 받지 않는다. 다라서 본 연구에서는 음성의 queueing behavior를 먼저 해석한 다음 data의 queueing behavior를 해석하였다. 패킷 음성 다중화기의 성능 해석은 입력상태와 buffer의 점유를 2차원의 Markov chain을 가지고 formulation하였고, 집적된 음성/data의 다중화기는 data를 추가한 3차원 Markov chain으로 하였다. 이러한 model을 사용하여 Gauss-Seidel방법으로 결과를 얻고 simulation으로 입증하였다. 이들 결과로 부터 음성 가입자의 수, 출력 link용량, 음성의 queue크기, 음성의 overflow확률에서는 서로 trade-off가 있고 data에서도 비슷한 tradeoff가 있음을 알았다. 또한 입력 traffic량과 link의 용량에 따라서 음성과 데이타간의 성능에서 서로 tradeoff가 있고, TASI의 이득이 2이상이고 음성가입자의 수가 적을 경우 데이타의 평균 지연시간은 buffer의 최대길이 보다 길음을 알아내었다.
