Wireless Time-Triggered Communication using a Firefly Clock Synchronization Approach

Posted on March 21, 2013 by Wilfried Elmenreich

In South-East Asia, huge swarms of fireflies synchronously emit light flashes to attract mating partners. The underlying principle can be used to implement a robust and scalable distributed synchronization approach in wireless sensor networks. In this work we implement the … Continue reading →

A Time-Triggered Fieldbus Protocol: TTP/A

Posted on September 10, 2010 by Wilfried Elmenreich

In a time-triggered protocol, the schedules for all messages are predefined and peridocal. So each node in an ensemble knows a priori when to send or when to expect to receive some message. For an overall communication cluster. Time-triggered systems … Continue reading →
