D5.2. Initial design for FRMCS and railways infotainment test cases
Deliverable D5.2 is the second report for WP5. It identifies and describes every hardware and software component needed to implement UC3 (FRMCS performance and business applications service continuity) and UC4 (Follow-Me Entertainment) in the railway scenario. This document also describes the interfaces between the hardware components and the train (mechanical...
eHDL: Turning eBPF/XDP Programs into Hardware Designs for the NIC
Scaling network packet processing performance to meet the in-creasing speed of network ports requires software programs to carefully leverage the network devices’ hardware features. This is a complex task for network programmers, who need to learn and deal with the heterogeneity of device architectures, and re-think their software to leverage...
Adaptive Messaging based on the Age of Information in VANETs
A significant challenge in 802.11p based vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is that the cooperative awareness messages (CAMs) tend to experience collisions. In this paper, we propose an adaptive CAM messaging algorithm based on the emerging methodology of the age of information (AoI). Our objective is to minimize an age-penalty...
Standardization Initiatives and Market Approaches in Edge Federation
The introduction of the sixth generation (6G) mobile communications along with the establishment of Edge Computing and network virtualization motivate the concept of Telco Edge Platform (TEP), which is an effort towards exposing the mobile network capabilities to interested external third parties. Recently, the Operator Platform Group (OPG) has been...
Impact of Network Densification on Joint Slicing and Functional Splitting in 5G
The virtualization of the 5th Generation (5G) Radio Access Network (RAN), which distributes the Next Generation Node B (gNB) functions between a Central Unit (CU) and a Distributed Unit (DU), along with the emergence of slicing as a cornerstone of mobile communications networks, pose new challenges. One of these challenges...
Faster Software Packet Processing on FPGA NICs with eBPF Program Warping
FPGA NICs can improve packet processing performance, however, programming them is difficult, and existing solutions to enable software packet processing on FPGA either provide limited packet processing speed, or require changes to programs and to their development/deployment life cycle. We address the issue with program warping, a new technique that improves...
Evaluation of AI-based Smart-Sensor Deployment at the Extreme Edge of a Software-Defined Network
The introduction of AI-based smart-sensors on the network might suppose stringent requirements for the network edge, including the necessity to process real-time video feeds. Moreover, the introduction of vehicular communications allows the multiple location placement of necessary computational processes. To this end, we have proposed an AI-based smart- sensor solution...
Demo: Interoperability between Cellular and V2X Networks (802.11p / LTE-PC5) under a Cloud Native Edge Scenario
By leveraging the use of wireless communication technologies and edge computing capabilities, Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) aims to improve safety and traffic management in mobility use cases. However, the deployment of C-ITS poses some critical challenges. Specifically, in heterogeneous systems, it is necessary to guarantee interoperability among the various...
