Embedded Communications

My Pages:

• Current embedded network research overview (.pdf)

• CRC polynomial selection for embedded networks
• Toward Middleware Fault Injection for Automotive Networks
• Survey of Communication Protocols for Embedded Systems & Embedded Communication Protocol Options
  (Both are overviews of protocol options and tradeoffs)
• Tracking down Lost Messages and System Failures
  (something to keep in mind if you're using LonTalk or Ethernet)
• Time Division Multiple Access Without a Bus Master (JTDMA)
  (a robust, master-less communication protocol)

• M.S. Thesis: Geoff Hendrey, Standard Ethernet as an Embedded Communication Network, 1999
• M.S. Thesis: Eushiuan Tran, Multi-Bit Error Vulnerabilities in the Controller Area Network Protocol, 1999

• US Patent #5,535,212 Implicit Token Media Access Protocol Without Collision Detection
• US Patent #5,436,901 Synchronous Time Division Multiplexing Using Jam-Based Frame Synchronization
• US Patent #5,450,404 Explicit and Implicit Token Media Access Protocol with Multi-Level Bus Arbitration
