Periodic and Aperiodic Communication Techniques for Responsive Link

Responsive Link, an ISO/IEC communication standard, provides many functional capabilities for distributed realtime systems. This paper is focused on periodic and aperiodic communication techniques for Responsive Link. In periodic communication, the priority is assigned to each packet so that the network utilization is improved. A schedulability test for connection establishments is also derived to ensure timing guarantees. In aperiodic communication, meanwhile, the bandwidth is reserved to improve response time as much as possible without periodic timing violations. The effectiveness of the presented techniques is demonstrated through a series of simulations.
