Among the COTS applications in the X2000 architecture for deep-space missions, the use of commercial bus standards is the highest-payoff COTS application since a bus interface has a global impact and enabling effect on system cost and capability, respectively. While COTS bus standards enable significant cost reductions, it is a great challenge for us to deliver a highly-reliable long-term survi...

While the IEEE P1500 standards working group is on the verge of recommending a standard test interface for "non-mergeable" cores, a need was felt to adopt a standard methodology to achieve easy test interoperability for "non-merged" core (RTL, gate level) integration. A task force was formed under the P1500 working group investigating this issue and came up with a recommendation. DFT Disclosure...

We specify the tree identify protocol of the IEEE 1394 high performance serial multimedia bus at three diierent levels of detail using CRL. We use the cones and foci veriication technique of Groote and Springintveld to show that the descriptions are equivalent under branching bisimulation, thereby demonstrating that the protocol behaves as expected.

We describe the design and implementation of a reconfigurable highspeed interface for IEEE 1394 Firewire and measurements obtained with this system. For the physical and link layers we use a commercial chip-set. FieldProgrammable Gate Arrays on the PCI Pamette and a secondary FireLink board are used to implement a simple transaction layer interfacing the link layers to the host CPU.

In this paper, the Open Source project RTnet is presented. RTnet provides a customisable and extensible framework for hard real-time communication over Ethernet and other transport media. The paper describes architecture, core components, and protocols of RTnet. FireWire is introduced as a powerful alternative to Ethernet, and its integration into RTnet is presented. Moreover, an overview of av...

In the IEEE 802.15.3-based HR-WPAN(High Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks), the selection of PNC is based on the capability of each DEV in the piconet. The selected DEV playing the role of a PNC will consume the most amount of energy among the DEVs in the piconet. Since the energy consumption of the PNC is closely related to its frame transmission range in the piconet, it is important to con...

IEEE 802.16 is yet a very recent technology and released hardware does frequently only support standards partially. The same applies to public available simulation tools, in particular for NS-2. As the latter is the de-facto standard in science and as we use it for our research in the context of the WEIRD project, we evaluate the of IEEE 802.16 support for NS-2. We present several general but a...
