A Longest-Path Problem for Evaluating the Worst-Case Packet Delay of Switched Ethernet
(2010) Schmidt, K.; Schmidt, E.G.; 17337
In the recent years, the use of real-time Ethernet protocols becomes more and more relevant for time-critical networked industrial applications. In this context, this paper presents a method to compute the worst-case packet delays on switched Ethernet. Based on an evaluation of the packet delays at each switch port and the network topology, we construct a weighted directed graph that allows to find the worst-case end-toend packet delay by solving a conventional longest-path problem. © 2010 IEEE.

An Experimental Study of the Flexray Dynamic Segment
(IFAC Secretariat, 2010) Schmidt, K.; Schmidt, E.G.; Demirci, A.; Yürüklü, E.; Karakaya, U.
It is expected that the time-triggered FlexRay bus will replace the event-triggered Controller Area Network (CAN) for the high-speed in-vehicle communication in future automobiles. To this end, FlexRay provides a static segment for the transmission of periodic messages and a dynamic segment that is suitable for exchanging event-based (sporadic) messages. In this paper, we experimentally evaluate the operation of the FlexRay dynamic segment. In particular, we study how the maximum and average message delays are affected if the length of the dynamic segment, the message payload, the utilization of the dynamic segment and the priority assignment changes. Our experiments are carried out on a FlexRay network with 6 nodes. © 2010 IFAC.

A Configurable Can Fd Controller: Architecture and Implementation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Afsin, M.E.; Schmidt, K.W.; Schmidt, E.G.
CAN FD is a new standard which provides fast data rate while preserving the compatibility with CAN (controller area network). In this paper, a Configurable IP core architecture (A-CAN) which is compatible with the CAN FD standard, is proposed. Different than existing CAN/CAN FD controllers, the numbers and sizes of transmit and receive buffers of A-CAN can be configured in run time. To this end, A-CAN enables the best use of single controller hardware for different applications and enables improving the real time communication performance. A-CAN communicates with the host device over SPI without any specific interface requirements. A-CAN is implemented on an FPGA Evaluation Board and its functionally is verified at a rate of 2 Mbps. © 2017 IEEE.

A Fast and Optimal Static Segment Scheduling Method for Flexray V3.0
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Cakmak, C.; Schmidt, E.G.; Schmidt, K.W.
We propose a novel and fast frame scheduling method for the Static Segment (SS) of the new in-vehicle network standard FlexRay v3.0 in this paper. The proposed methods assigns frames to the SS using the minimum number of time slots based on an Integer Linear Programming formulation. Different from the existing method in the literature, the proposed method computes optimal frame schedules within miliseconds. © 2017 IEEE.

Performance evaluation of FlexRay/CAN networks interconnected by a gateway
(2010) Schmidt, E.G.; Alkan, M.; Schmidt, K.; Yürüklü, E.; Karakaya, U.
The coexistence of both CAN and FlexRay networks in contemporary and future automobiles necessitates the use of FlexRay/CAN gateways that support the timely data exchange among the different networks. In this paper, we report on the implementation of such FlexRay/CAN gateway. Moreover, for the first time, we investigate appropriate network and gateway configurations that are beneficial for the overall network performance in the sense of small delays of gateway messages. © 2010 IEEE.

The implementation of dynamic distributed real time industrial communication protocol (D 2RIP)
(2012) Gözcü, A.K.; Turan, U.; Schmidt, E.G.; Schmidt, K.W.
Ethernet is a popular technology for industrial networking thanks to its low cost and high bandwidth. The current proposals to achieve real-time communication over Ethernet do not consider the determinism of the control applications resulting in inefficient use of bandwidth resources. We proposed a protocol stack architecture that works with standard Ethernet to address this problem. This paper describes the implementation of this architecture over Real-time Linux operating system and the first experiments to verify the operation. The implementation and performance of IEEE 1588 protocol which provides the required synchronization is also presented. © 2012 IEEE.

The verification of a novel framework for real-time shared medium communication network protocols
(2012) Kartal, Y.B.; Schmidt, E.G.; Schmidt, K.W.
The subject of this work is the real-time communication of the distributed industrial control applications over shared-medium Ethernet. We developed a framework for the real-time communication protocols over shared-medium Ethernet in our previous work. The framework is designed using the Timed Input/Output Automata formalism to serve the changing real-time communication needs of the embedded control applications. In this paper we present the modeling, simulation and formal verification process of the proposed framework using UPPAAL toolbox. © 2012 IEEE.
