Modem vehicles, that have to be considered as safety-critical cyber-physical systems, require highly accurate clock synchronization (CS) among their distributed computing devices. Since Controller Area Network (CAN) is the predominant in-vehicle communication bus, it is highly relevant to support CS for CAN. This article proposes an original CS method for distributed in-vehicle networks based on CAN with both offset and drift correction. While offset correction is performed based on timestamps in periodic reference messages (RMs), our new method benefits from the re-synchronization mechanism of the CAN bit timing to apply highly accurate drift correction. Our algorithm does not make any modifications to the CAN protocol but requires the measurement of the phase error from the CAN controller. We derive analytical bounds for the expected clock differences and further validate the practicability of the proposed method by comprehensive experiments. As the main result, our method achieves a clock accuracy below 2 mu s independent of important parameters such as the bit rate, RM period, bus utilization and time-varying clock drifts.

Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics of electromigration in aluminum and its alloys Şen, Fatih Gürçağ; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2006) With constant miniaturization of integrated circuits, the current densities experienced in interconnects in electronic circuits has been multiplied. Aluminum, which is widely used as an interconnect material, has fast diffusion kinetics under low temperatures. Unfortunately, the combination of high current density and fast diffusion at low temperatures causes the circuit to fail by electromigration (EM), which is the mass transport of atoms due to the momentum transfer between conducting electrons and diffu...
Tool support for worst case end to end delay analysis of AFDX networks Efe, Orhun; Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) is among the major technological components used in avionics systems. Since its publication, AFDX has spread out rapidly and has been deployed in major aircrafts such as Airbus A400M, Boeing 787, Bombardier C Series, etc. In AFDX networks, data is exchanged between end systems by utilizing tunnels. For certification purposes, finding a safe upper bound is required in transmission process. UPPAAL is already shown to be useful for performing such a delay analysis ...
Optimized Asymmetric Cooperation for Downlink Cloud Radio Access Network under per-Base Station Data Transfer Constraint Kadan, Fehmi Emre; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2017-01-01) Using multicell cooperation between several base stations (BSs) connected to a central processor (CP) via finite capacity digital backhaul links, the inter-cell interference, which is known to limit the standard cellular systems, can be mitigated. When all user data is sent to each BS through the CP, which is referred as the full cooperation, the interference can be perfectly eliminated, however, this may cause the capacity of backhaul links to be exceeded. In this study, it is aimed to find the optimal asy...
SWARM-based data delivery framework in the Ad Hoc Internet of Things Hasan, Mohammed Zaki; Al-Turjman, Fadi (2017-12-08) Internet of Things (IoTs) refers to the rapidly growing network of connected objects that are able to collect and exchange data using embedded sensors. To guarantee the connectivity among these objects and devices, fault tolerant routing has been received a significant attention in recent years. In this paper, we propose a bio-inspired particle multi-swarm optimization (PMSO) routing algorithm to construct, recover and select k-disjoint paths that tolerates the failure while satisfying quality of service (Q...
Optimizing Multipath Routing With Guaranteed Fault Tolerance in Internet of Things Hasan, Mohammed Zaki; Al-Turjman, Fadi (2017-10-01) Internet of Things (IoTs) refers to the rapidly growing network of connected objects and people that are able to collect and exchange data using embedded sensors. To guarantee the connectivity among these objects and people, fault tolerance routing has to be significantly considered. In this paper, we propose a bio-inspired particle multi-swarm optimization (PMSO) routing algorithm to construct, recover, and select k-disjoint paths that tolerates the failure while satisfying the quality of service parameter...
