Abstract

The communication is an essential part of a fault tolerant and dependable system. Safety-critical systems are often implemented as time-triggered environments, where the network nodes are synchronized by clocks and follow a static schedule to ensure determinism and easy certification. The reliability of a communication bus can be further improved when the message retransmission is permitted to deal with lost messages. However, constructing static schedules for non-preemptive messages that account for retransmissions while preserving the efficient use of resources poses a challenging problem. In this paper, we show that the problem can be modeled using so-called F-shaped tasks. We propose efficient exact algorithms solving the non-preemptive message scheduling problem with retransmissions. Furthermore, we show a new complexity result, and we present computational experiments for instances with up to 200 messages.
