The emerging real-time and computation-intensive services driven by the Internet of Things, augmented reality, automatic driving, so on, have tight quality service experience requirements, which can hardly be supported conventional cloud computing. Fog computing, migrates features computing to network edge, guarantees low latency for location-aware services. However, due locality feature fog maintaining continuity when mobile users travel across different access networks has become a...
ROS (Robot Operating System) is currently the most popular robotic software development framework. Robotic in safe-critical domain are usually subject to hard real-time constraints, so designers must formally model and analyze their timing behaviors guarantee that constraints always honored at runtime. This paper studies scheduling analysis of processing chains ROS2, second-generation with a major consideration capability. First, we study response time on ROS2 executors. We show only...
Pedestrian detection is a crucial task in intelligent transportation systems, which can be applied autonomous vehicles and traffic scene video surveillance systems. The past few years have witnessed much progress on the research of pedestrian methods, especially through successful use deep learning based techniques. However, occlusion large scale variation remain challenging issues for detection. In this work, we propose Part-Aware Multi-Scale Fully Convolutional Network (PAMS-FCN) to tackle...
With the fast growth of civil drones, their security problems meet significant challenges. A commercial drone may be hijacked by a GPS-spoofing attack for illegal activities, such as terrorist attacks. The target this article is to develop technique that only uses onboard gyroscopes determine whether has been hijacked. Ideally, GPS data and angular velocities measured can used estimate acceleration drone, which further compared with measurement accelerometer detect However, detection results...
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) has become the most popular technique in modern safety-critical Automotive and Industrial Automation Networks by providing deterministic transmission policies. However, data of TSN messages may be affected transient faults. IEEE 802.1CB, a reliability standard TSN, protects against such faults disjoint redundant routes for each stream. unique assumption present new challenge, i.e., an inadequate number that negatively impact stream scheduling. This paper...
As communication systems transition from symbol transmission to conveying meaningful information, sixth-generation (6G) networks emphasize semantic communication. This approach prioritizes high-level improving robustness and reducing redundancy across modalities like text, speech, images. However, traditional faces limitations, including static coding strategies, poor generalization, reliance on task-specific knowledge bases that hinder adaptability. To overcome these challenges, we propose...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely deployed and it is crucial to properly control the energy consumption of nodes achieve maximum WSNs' operation time (i.e., lifetime) as they are normally battery powered. In this paper, for that utilized monitor oil pipelines, we study linear placement problem with goal maximizing their lifetime. For a simple equal-distance scheme, first illustrate result based on used ideal power model can be misleading adding more improve WSN's when compared...
While much work has addressed the energy-efficient scheduling problem for uniprocessor or multiprocessor systems, little been done multicore systems. We study architecture with a fixed number of cores partitioned into clusters (or islands), on each which all operate at common frequency. develop algorithms to determine schedule real-time tasks minimize energy consumption under timing and operating frequency constraints. As technical contributions, we first show that optimal frequencies...

A legitimate drone may be hijacked by GPS spoofing for illegal activities, such as terrorist attacks. target this paper is to develop techniques let detect whether they have been using onboard motion sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes). Ideally, the linear acceleration angular velocity measured can used estimate position a drone, which compared with reported has hijacked. However, estimation very inaccurate due error...
A smart factory generates vast amounts of data that require transmission via large-scale wireless networks. Thus, the reliability and real-time performance networks are essential for industrial production. distributed scheme is suitable networks, but incapable optimizing performance. By contrast, a centralized relies on knowledge global information hindered by scalability issues. To overcome these limitations, hybrid needed. We propose hierarchical framework integrates advantages schemes...
