The growth of network-based systems in flight test will present performance problems within the community. Legacy instrumentation systems are not capable of meeting the high-bandwidth, low latency data processing requirements of these next generation data acquisition systems. Ongoing research at Southwest Research Institute is exploring the use of a variety of commodity components, such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and multicore Central Processing Units (CPUs), in ways that can be applied to both the small embedded components as well as the larger ground systems. This paper will explore an open, scalable Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) approach to bridge the gap and minimize changes to the legacy systems. Current results from this approach will be presented at the conference.

The integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) radios provide a two-way telemetry link that interconnects the airborne instrumentation system with ground-based systems. This capability brings the flight test telemetry domain into the realm of the more classic mesh networks in a mobile ad-hoc environment. The underlying radio frequency (RF) communication protocols defined in the iNET standards support a variety of classic networking protocols. The scheduling algorithms between Link Managers and radios can operate as a collision network, like classic Ethernet. This paper describes the communication protocols and scheduling algorithms of the iNET radios, and it provides results of their use in a self-scheduling algorithm such as a classical token ring network.

This thesis deals with the transmission of information over the Ethernet network. In this work a suitable microcontroller and a communication module were selected. The Module provides data transfer from Ethernet to SPI bus. Furthermore an optimal digital temperature sensor DS1820 was chosen. Theoretically it describes the model TCP / IP and the Ethernet type network . In this thesis a block circuit diagram is created, further an electrical wiring diagram and a printed circuit board were constructed. In the programming environment BascomAVR a program is compiled, which is used to transfer information from the microcontroller via Ethernet to a website.

Campus Area Networks (CANs) are a subset of enterprise networks, comprised of a network core connecting multiple Local Area Networks (LANs) across a college campus. Traditionally, hosts connect to the CAN via a single point of attachment; however, the past decade has seen the employment of mobile computing rise dramatically. Mobile devices must obtain new Internet Protocol (IP) addresses at each LAN as they migrate, wasting address space and disrupting host services. To prevent these issues, modern CANs should support IP mobility: allowing devices to keep a single IP address as they migrate between LANs with low-latency handoffs. Traditional approaches to mobility may be difficult to deploy and often lead to inefficient routing, but Software-Defined Networking (SDN) provides an intriguing alternative. This thesis identifies necessary requirements for a software-defined IP mobility system and then proposes one such system, the Software-Defined Mobile Campus Area Network (SD-MCAN) architecture. SD-MCAN employs an OpenFlow-based hybrid, label-switched routing scheme to efficiently route traffic flows between mobile hosts on the CAN. The proposed architecture is then implemented as an application on the existing POX controller and evaluated on virtual and hardware testbeds. Experimental results show that SD-MCAN can process handoffs with less than 90 ms latency, suggesting that the system can support data-intensive services on mobile host devices. Finally, the POX prototype is open-sourced to aid in future research.

This dissertation deals with the generating of data units at different levels of TCP/IP network model in OPNET Modeler environment. A part of the dissertation is a brief introduction to the simulation environment OPNET Modeler where important components of this comprehensive simulation software are elucidated. The structure of my dissertation reflects individual layers of the model TCP/IP, whereas the function of the process model OPNET Modeler and the data unit used at corresponding levels of TCP/IP is always described. Particular parts of communication models that were created in the simulation environment OPNET Modeler at selected layers of the network model TCP/IP are closely documented in each chapter. Relevant scenarios are described in such a way that they can be later re-arranged by eventual customers.

This thesis describes architecture of IMS and shows possibilities of IMS platform testing. Theoretical part describes layer model of the IMS as a whole and then describes it’s individual layers. Next chapters analyse key entities of the IMS, interconnection between reference points and features of protocols used in the IMS. Practical part deals with the introduction of Open IMS Core, which was chosen for the IMS technology testing. Settings necessary to carry out testing and interconnection between PBX Asterisk are shown in next chapters. After introduction of IMS desktop clients is carried out an instant messaging communication within the IMS network. The communication is captured and analysed by Wireshark application. Afterwards there is described how SIP protocol sends messages within the IMS. After a brief introduction to the PBX Asterisk, there are discussed assumptions for the interconnection between Asterisk and IMS. There are also described necessary settings needed for implementation and communication testing itself. The first test is an audio session carried out between the desktop IMS client and IP phone registered to the PBX Asterisk. Communication is captured for the analysis of preparation, conduction and termination of the session. After the successful realization of the audio call, video session has been made. The session was analysed in detail, including statistics of control signals and transmitted packets. There are two laboratory excercises in attachement of this thesis, which will help students to understand the IMS technology and communication options within the IMS network

It focuses on design of appropriate data types in correspondence with used IEC 60870-5-104 protocol, and estimates the minimum data requirements for transmission, through proposed hierarchical network, with collecting data concentrators. For verification of given design, simulations are carried out based on proposed data loads with subsequent analysis of network load and transmission delays. Consequently, the results are analyzed and selected parts of network optimized for improvement od selected results, of which causes of formation are discussed in debate.
