Master-Seminar Connected and Mobile Systems

After the concept of Industry 4.0 has been around for several years and has been implemented in factories, Industry 5.0 introduces the next-generation concept for future developments.

Your task is to describe the concepts of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 briefly. Both concepts have been widely discussed and you should focus on describing requirements and challenges in the context of Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks. The differences and development should be highlighted with a focus on Industry 5.0. You should show and evaluate at least one recent work, providing a solution to one of the described challenges.

• Industry 4.0
• Industry 5.0
• Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks

Over the past few years, the Linux kernel community has developed a lightweight in-kernel virtual machine called eBPF. eBPF allows small programs to be executed dynamically and safely inside the kernel.

So far, eBPF is predominantly being used in cloud computing and server systems. There are few publications where eBPF is used for embedded systems or wireless networking systems.

Your task will be to describe what eBPF is and how it works. Next, you will search the literature for applications of eBPF other than cloud computing and server systems and summarize your findings.

• Extended Berkeley Packet Filter: An Application Perspective
• FLIP: A Framework for Leveraging eBPF to Augment WiFi Access Points and Investigate Network Performance

V2X is the concept of road users sharing information with each other directly to enhance the information base for decision-making, sometimes also call Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS). For direct communication between sending stations, different communication technologies are available. While one decentralized approach is based on IEEE 802.11, also other technologies, based on different cellular communication evolutions, are considered.

Your task will be to identify the relevant cellular communication technologies, describe their concepts and features, as well as identify drawbacks and possible solutions from literature.
