An Architecture For Adaptive Real Time Communication With Embedded Devices, Amol S. Patwardhan Jan 2006

An Architecture For Adaptive Real Time Communication With Embedded Devices, Amol S. Patwardhan

LSU Master's Theses

The virtual testbed is designed to be a cost-effective rapid development environment as well as a teaching tool for embedded systems. Teaching and development of embedded systems otherwise requires dedicated real time operating systems and costly infrastructure for hardware simulation. Writing control software for embedded systems with such a setup takes prolonged development cycles. Moreover, actual hardware may get damaged while writing the control software. On the contrary, in a virtual testbed environment, a simulator running on the host machine is used instead of the actual hardware, which then interacts with an embedded processor through serial communication. This hardware-in-the-loop setup …


Introducing Students To Communications Concepts Using Optical And Low-Power Wireless Devices, James M. Conrad, Ivan Howitt Jan 2006

Introducing Students To Communications Concepts Using Optical And Low-Power Wireless Devices, James M. Conrad, Ivan Howitt

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Wireless communication has become an important feature for commercial products and a popular research topic within the last ten years. There are now more mobile phone subscriptions than wired-line subscriptions. Lately, one area of commercial interest has been low-cost, low-power, and short-distance wireless communication used for "personal wireless networks." Technology advancements are providing smaller and more cost effective devices for integrating computational processing, wireless communication, and a host of other functionalities. These embedded communications devices will be integrated into applications ranging from homeland security to industry automation and monitoring. They will also enable custom tailored engineering solutions, creating a revolutionary …
