An anomaly detection device included in a communication network adopting a time-triggered protocol based on a time slot includes: a frame transceiver that receives frames; and an anomaly detector that detects an occurrence of an anomalous frame in accordance with a time slot among a plurality of time slots included in a cycle and the number of repeated cycles of the cycle for each frame. The anomaly detector detects an occurrence of an anomalous frame by verifying a statistic on the frames received while the cycle is repeated a predetermined number of times, which is at least once, against a rule indicating a reference range of the statistic.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to vehicle communication systems, in particular, toward contention resolution on a shared medium in vehicle communication systems. The present disclosure can provide a modified version of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard to handle physical layer (PHY), and data link layer's (DLL) media access control (MAC) of the wired communication links in the vehicle communication subsystem utilizing a shared medium and half-duplex mode. As a result, the modified MAC and PHY may provide fair access and deterministic latency for shared access to the medium of vehicle communication systems independent of the offered network load.

[Problem to be Solved] To provide a serial data transmission device that makes it possible to dynamically switch a band or a data transmission path and enhance the stability to failure while multiplexing and transmitting data by a TDM method when serial data is transmitted between a plurality of daisy-chained data transmission devices.

[Solution] There is provided a serial data transmission device including: a receiver that receives data serially transmitted by a time-division multiplex method from another device daisy-chained to the serial data transmission device; a transmitter that serially transmits data by the time-division multiplex method to another device daisy-chained to the serial data transmission device; and a controller that controls serial transmission by the receiver and the transmitter, in which the controller performs control to make the serial transmission by the transmitter adjustable.

Techniques are described for wireless communications. One method includes determining a contention window size for a first broadcast transmission or a first multicast transmission on at least one channel of a shared radio frequency spectrum band, where the first broadcast transmission or the first multicast transmission is targeted for a first plurality of UEs, and contending for access to the at least one channel of the shared radio frequency spectrum band for the first broadcast transmission or the first multicast transmission based at least in part on the determined contention window size. In some cases, the first broadcast transmission or the first multicast transmission may be an example of a multipoint transmission, which may include a coordinated multipoint transmission.

Systems and methods are provided for controlling and monitoring a peripheral in an aircraft that includes a master module connected to each slave module. Each slave module is disposed around a controlled peripheral and is connected to a port of the master module by a bidirectional link. The master module sends data frames comprising the value of a counter. Each slave module reads the value of the counter included in the data frame received, updates a counter with the value read, checks whether the value of the updated counter corresponds to a time-period index associated with the slave module and if so transfers a data frame to the master module. The master module selects, from a table comprising time period indices and identifiers, the port connecting the master module to the slave module the identifier of which is associated with the time-period index that corresponds to the counter's value.
