Periodic messages transfer data from sensors to actuators in cars, planes, and complex production machines. When considering a given routing, the unicast message starts at its source and goes over several dedicated resources to reach its…
The Internet of Things (IoT) will encompass a massive number of machine type devices that must wirelessly transmit, in near real-time, a diverse set of messages sensed from their environment. Designing resource allocation schemes to support…
The Internet of Things (IoT) interconnects multiple physical devices in large-scale networks. When the 'things' coordinate decisions and act collectively on shared information, feedback is introduced between them. Multiple feedback loops…
The reliability of the increasing number of modern applications and systems strongly depends on interconnecting technology. Complex systems which usually need to exchange, among other things, multimedia data together with safety-related…
Cloud-RAN is a recent architecture for mobile networks where the processing units are located in distant data centers while, until now, they were attached to antennas. The main challenge, to fulfill protocol constraints, is to guarantee low…
The portfolio of models offered by car manufacturing groups often includes many variants (i.e., different car models and their versions). With such diversity in car models, variant management becomes a formidable task. Thus, there is an…
Message bundling is an effective way to reduce the energy consumption for message transmissions in wireless sensor networks. However, bundling more messages could increase both end-to-end delay and message transmission interval; the former…

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is an enhancement of Ethernet which provides various mechanisms for real-time communication. Time-triggered (TT) traffic represents periodic data streams with strict real-time requirements. Amongst others,…
Deterministic real-time communication with bounded delay is an essential requirement for many safety-critical cyber-physical systems, and has received much attention from major standardization bodies such as IEEE and IETF. In particular,…
Multicast allows sending a message to multiple recipients without having to create and send a separate message for each recipient. This preserves network bandwidth, which is particularly important in time-sensitive networks. These networks…
In networked systems, monitoring devices such as sensors are typically deployed to monitor various target locations. Targets are the points in the physical space at which events of some interest, such as random faults or attacks, can occur.…
When multiple model predictive controllers are implemented on a shared control area network (CAN), their performance may degrade due to the inhomogeneous timing and delays among messages. The priority based real-time scheduling of messages…
Broadcasts and timelines are the primary mechanism of information exchange in online social platforms today. Services like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have enabled ordinary people to reach large audiences spanning cultures and…
We consider a single-hop ad hoc network in which each node aims to broadcast packets to its neighboring nodes by using multiple slotted, TDD collision channels. There is no cooperation among the nodes. To ensure successful broadcast, we…
