Summary of my first attempt to define a new research direction that was called 'Adaptive Radio Links'. At the time, only adaptive modulation and cognitive spectrum access have just emerged.
This work is about the design and configuration of service-oriented communication on top of Ethernet TSN. The first objective is to present takeaways from the design and implementation of the Renault E/E Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) called FACE. In particular, we discuss technological, design and configuration choices made for the SOA, such as how to segment messages (UDP with multiple events, TCP, SOME/IP TP), and the technical possibilities to shape the transmission of the packets on the Ethernet network.
The second objective is to study how to ensure the Quality of Service (QoS) required by services. Indeed, services introduce specific challenges, be it only the sheer amount of traffic they generate and if there is a growing body of experiences in the use of TSN QoS mechanisms most of what has been learned so far is mostly about meeting the requirements of individual streams. Less is known for services that involve the transmission of several, possibly segmented, messages with more complex transmission patterns. We show on the FACE architecture how SOME/IP messages were mapped to TSN QoS mechanisms in a manual then automated manner so as to meet the individual requirements of the services in terms of timing, and the system’s requirements in terms of memory usage.

Do We Really Need TSN in Next-Generation Helicopters? Insights From a Case-StudyRealTime-at-Work (RTaW)
As Ethernet rapidly replaces legacy networks as the core high-speed network in helicopter’s avionics and mission systems, we ask in this paper the question of the technical benefits of migrating to Ethernet Time-Sensitive-Networking (TSN). Indeed, TSN has become a rich toolbox of mechanisms and protocols to address Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements pertaining to timing and reliability. TSN is quickly becoming the prominent technology for wired high-speed communications in a variety of application domains like automotive, industry 4.0 and telecom. In this context, this work explores the use of TSN timing QoS mechanisms for helicopter’s avionics and mission systems on a case-study representative of the communication requirements of next-generation systems. This study aims to provide quantified insights into what can be expected from TSN in terms of timing, memory usage and extensibility. Paper available at http://hdl.handle.net/10993/48093
Insights on the Performance and Configuration of AVB and TSN in Automotive Ap...RealTime-at-Work (RTaW)
Switched Ethernet is profoundly reshaping in-car communications. To meet the diverse real-time requirements in automotive communications, Quality-of-Service protocols that go beyond the mere use of priorities are required. In this work, the basic questions that we investigate on a case-study with diverse and demanding communication requirements is what can we expect from the various protocols aimed at providing a better timing Quality of Service on top of Ethernet? And how to use them? Especially how to use them in a combined manner. We will focus on the Credit-Based Shaper of AVB, the Time-Aware Shaper of TSN and the use of priorities as defined in IEEE802.1Q. The performance metrics considered are the distributions of the communication latencies, obtained by simulation, as well as upper bounds on these quantities obtained by worst-case schedulability analysis. If there have been over the last 5 years numerous studies on the performance of AVB CBS, the literature on comparing AVB to TSN and other candidate protocols is still sparse. To the best of our knowledge, this empirical study is the first to consider most protocols currently considered in the automotive domain, with the aim to gain insights into the different technological, design and configurations alternatives. In particular, an objective of this study is to identify key problems that need to be solved in order to further automate network design and configuration.
Towards Computer-Aided, Iterative TSN-and Ethernet-based E/E Architecture DesignRealTime-at-Work (RTaW)
Typical design goals of next generation architectures are future extensibility and cost optimization of the lowest-end. We propose to introduce guidance to an otherwise standard Monte-Carlo simulation by providing certain fixed points (e.g., mandated connections of ECUs to certain bridges, complete re-use of ECUs) and “hot spots” in the topology (e.g., ECUs with the highest variability pressure) that are known in advance from BMW’s experience with their vehicles in the field. Several important practical considerations must be integrated in the generation of candidate architectures:
- Topological constraints: ECU proximity to sensors, daisy chain connections between ECUs to minimize cable length, number of switch ports in a certain ECU, etc.
- Security and reliability requirements: segregation between mixed-criticality streams, proxy ECUs, and redundant paths.
Our position statement explores the ability of algorithmic tools to synthesize Ethernet-based architectures based on a minimal fixed core TSN topology, design goals, design constraints, assumptions about next generation applications and data from past projects (capturing part of the OEM domain knowledge).
There is today more than 20 years of experience in automotive CAN applications, and CAN has certainly proven very successful as a robust, cost effective and all-around network technology. But the use of CAN in vehicles is evolving, in particular because of more complex and heterogeneous architectures with FlexRay or Ethernet networks, and because of recent needs like hybrid, electric propulsion or driver assistance that involves more stringent real-time constraints. Besides, there are other new requirements on CAN: more fine-grained ECU mode management for energy savings, multi-ECU splitted functions and huge software downloads. In parallel, safety issues request more and more mechanisms to protect against potential failures and provide end-to-end integrity. The development process is also evolving with the advent of multi-domain cooperation, Autosar, ISO2626-2 and the always shorter time-to-market requirements. In this landscape, CAN has now to be used at much higher bus load level than in the past, and there is less margin for error. What does it imply in terms of verification and validation? What are the characteristics of the communication stacks that should be paid attention to? This article is intended to shed some light and share our views on these issues.
As the demand for computing power is quickly
increasing in the automotive domain, car manufactur-ers and tier-one suppliers are gradually introducing mul-ticore ECUs in their electronic architectures. Additionally, these multicore ECUs offer new features such as higher levels of parallelism which eases the respect of
the safety requirements introduced by the ISO 26262 and can be taken advantage of in various other automotive use-cases. These new features involve also more complexity in the design, development and verification of the software applications. Hence, OEMs and suppliers will require new tools and methodologies for deployment and
validation. In this paper, we present the main use cases
for multicore ECUs and then focus on one of them. Pre-
cisely, we address the problem of scheduling numerous
elementary software components (called runnables) on
a limited set of identical cores. In the context of an au-
tomotive design, we assume the use of the static task
partitioning scheme which provides simplicity and bet-
ter predictability for the ECU designers by comparison
with a global scheduling approach. We show how the
global scheduling problem can be addressed as two sub-
problems: partitioning the set of runnables and building
the schedule on each core. At that point, we prove that
each of the sub-problems cannot be solved optimally due
to their algorithmic complexity. We then present low com-
plexity heuristics to partition and build a schedule of the
runnable set on each core before discussing schedula-
bility verification methods. Finally, we assess the perfor-
mance of our approach on realistic case-studies.
Insights into the performance and configuration of TCP in Automotive Ethernet...RealTime-at-Work (RTaW)
The idea of using TCP in cars has been around for some time, as the first specification of Autosar TCP/IP stack dates back from early 2013. However, TCP has not been popular yet in cars and there has not been much published works on using TCP for in-vehicle communications so far.
TCP – the Transmission Control Protocol – provides connection-oriented reliable transmission between network applications. TCP is the cornerstone of the Internet – a hugely successful protocol over the last 40 years – if it is certainly a fine piece of engineering but it is definitely a complex one.
The question we explore in this study is what can we expect from TCP for on-board in-vehicle communication in terms of latencies & throughput and how to best configure TCP in a context for which
it has not been conceived. In particular, we will show that TCP configuration on the ECU sides should consider the amount of memory available in the switches and that traffic shaping policy, as available in TSN, can provide a nice performance boost for TCP communication.

Timing verification of automotive communication architecture using quantile ...RealTime-at-Work (RTaW)
Slides of a paper at ERTSS'2014 co-authored by Nicolas NAVET (University of Luxembourg), Shehnaz LOUVART (Renault), Jose VILLANUEVA (Renault), Sergio CAMPOY-MARTINEZ (Renault) and Jörn MIGGE (RealTime-at-Work). Early stage timing verification on CAN traditionally relies on simulation and schedulability analysis, also known as worst-case response time (WCRT) analysis. Despite recent progresses, the latter technique remains pessimistic especially in complex networking architectures with gateways and heterogeneous communication stacks. Indeed, there are practical cases where no exact WCRT analysis is available, and merely upper bounds on the response times can be derived, on the basis of which unnecessary conservative design choices may be made. Simulation, on the other hand, does not provide anyguarantees per se and, in the context of critical networks, should only be used along with an adequate methodology. In this paper, we argue for the use of quantiles of the response time distribution as performance
metrics providing an adjustable trade-off between safety and resource usage optimization. We discuss how the exact value of the quantile to consider should be chosen with regard to the criticality of the frames, and illustrate the approach on two typical automotive use-cases.

Early-stage topological and technological choices for TSN-based communication...RealTime-at-Work (RTaW)
A main issue in the design of automotive communication architectures is that the most important design choices pertaining to the topology of the networks and the technologies to use (protocols, data rate, hardware) have to be made at a time when the communication requirements are not entirely known. Indeed, many functions only becomes available along the development cycle, and vehicle platforms have to support incremental evolutions of the embedded system that may not be fully foreseeable at the time design choices are made. The problem is becoming even more difficult and crucial with the introduction of dynamically evolving communication requirements requiring network re-configuration at run-time.
We present how the use of synthetic data, that is data generated programmatically based on past vehicle projects and what can be foreseen for the current project, enables the designers to make such early stage choices based on quantified metrics. The proposals are applied to Groupe Renault's FACE service-oriented E/E architecture with the use of the “Topology Stress Test” feature implemented in RTaW-Pegase.
A summary of my thinking on this topic, unfortunately, also the last ones. Defined the inevitable trade-off between the reliability and throughput, suggested adaptation across the protocol stack etc.

This paper presents the design of time division multiplexing-wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical network (TDM-WDM PON). In this design, the current TDM PON is incorporated with the proposed WDM-PON in order to design a high-capacity network with lower loss requirements. The design has been simulated using OptiSystem software. The upstream wavelength for WDM is between 1,530.334 to 1,542.142 nm while for TDM is 1,310 nm. The downstream wavelength for WDM is from 1,569.865 to 1,581.973 nm, while for TDM is 1,490 nm. Based on the result, it is found that the proposed network is capable to support up to 64 customers with a bit rate of 2.5 Gbps.

Title: Achievable Rates with Implementation Limitations for G.fast-based Hybrid Copper/Fiber Networks
Abstract - Hybrid copper/fiber networks bridge the gap between the fiber link and the customer by using copper wires over the last meters. This solution combines energy efficiency and low cost of the copper access network with high data rates of a fiber connection. However, the fiber to the distribution point (FTTdp) network must prove its ability to convey data at fiber speed over copper wire bundles under the spectral constraints of the copper access network. This work investigates achievable data rates of the FTTdp network. It provides an analysis of the sources of performance loss in a system implementation due to complexity limitations. The results indicate that optimized linear methods perform well on shorter lines, while nonlinear methods have advantages for long lines.
Since the photonic layer is the cheapest on a per-bit, per-function basis, and since
the key imperative before operator's today is to bridge the yawning gap between
exponentially increasing data traffic on the one-hand, and flat-to-declining revenues
on the other, a tighter coupling between the packet and optical layers to derive
operational, management, and deployment efficiencies, has...
In this work, high-speed transmission over the long-haul optical channel using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) was investigated. Furthermore, we recommend mixing polarization division multiplexing (PDM) with coherent OFDM (CO-OFDM) and quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) to improve spectral efficiency (SE) while transmitting over a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system.
An 800 Gb/s WDM PDM-CO-OFDM-16QAM transmission system with various channel spacing of 100 GHz, 50 GHz, and 25 GHz is examined utilizing the OptiSystem (2021) version 18.0 software package over ten spans of 60 km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF). Different channel spacing WDM systems have been compared in terms of performance and SE. The results reveal that the WDM system with 100 GHz channel spacing has a longer transmission range and needs minimal optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) at the reception. The 25 GHz channel spacing WDM system exceeds the others in terms of SE. Further, the effect of ultra-low loss and large effective area fiber in lowering span loss and nonlinear effects for
25 GHz channel spacing WDM system is investigated. The findings show that the system performance with the new fiber outperforms the SSMF.
The acceptable bit error rate (BER) for this study is 0.033 (20% concatenated forward error correction (FEC) threshold).
Quest for machine intelligence: Statistical learning methodsPavel Loskot

Research is now where manufacturing has been 100 years ago. We are about to setup automated production lines of research results which will profoundly affect the whole research sector.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
