DESS: Development Tools & Validation test cases (ITEA project)

It is to make easier the design and implementation of portable DSP applications by accelerating the development time, especially the debugging and verification phases. The focus of the extension is on the scheduling model based on soft real-time constraint.
It is to provide a formal approach from design to implementation of practical DSP software applications with an example of GSM base stations. The formal verification is applied to this work by means of the Esterel methodology.

@IRS++: The Development of AAA in Mobile Environment over IPv6 (RNRT project)

It is required to provide authentication, authorization and accounting mechanisms for users who want to have access to resources as Internet itself moves along with them. Theses mechanisms should be independent of heterogeneous networks including UMTS, GSM, WiFi. They are also expected to have a good performance of AAA in Inter-domain. This project focuses on developing Diameter of AAA protocols which is being standardized in IETF.

Implementations

Functions: Signal processing (speech coding, channel coding, interleaving, ciphering, GMSK modulation and vice versa.), UDP transport.
Demonstration: We tested it with two mobile computers connected with an inverse ethernet cable each other. The one is a sender who sends processed signals with the operations from speech to modulation. The other is a receiver who decodes signals sent with the operations from demodulation to PCM signals.
Verification: We verified several properties with the XEVE verifier.

Functions: Authentication and Authorization of NASREQ and UMTS over IPv6 (IPv4 available). In addition to those functions, we expect the future version of implementation to include EAP support.
Demonstration: It was demonstrated on 6bone, consisting of a mobile terminal, a UMTS BS/Diameter Client and a Diameter Server. Here, more details.
