Abstract: A method for preventing a task-signal deadlock arising due to contention for a mutex in a real-time operating system (RTOS) includes detecting, by a processing unit, a signal notification sent to a task for execution of a signal handler; identifying, by the processing unit, a mutex to be acquired by the signal handler, when the signal notification is detected; determining whether the identified mutex has been acquired by the task; and utilizing, by the processing unit, an alternative stack for execution of the signal handler, in response to determining that the mutex has been acquired by the task, for preventing a task-signal deadlock during the execution.

Abstract: Various example embodiments relate to methods, devices, and/or systems for executing a plurality of tasks in a computer operating environment. The method comprises monitoring a remaining execution time of a current task executing on the processing circuitry, and performing, by the processing circuitry, pre-emption of the current task based on the remaining execution time of the current task and a desired execution threshold time, the desired execution threshold time being one of a desired value based on one or more configuration parameter of the current task or a dynamic value determined based on information related to ongoing activities in the computer operating environment.

Abstract: A method for deploying and sharing aerial cells in a massive machine type communication (mMTC) network includes forecasting data traffic across a plurality of mMTC network operators for each of a plurality of geographical areas. The method includes generating a forecasted plan based on the forecasted data traffic, and a hovering time of each of a plurality of aerial cells. The method includes deploying and sharing at least one aerial cell from the plurality of aerial cells between the plurality of mMTC network operators to provide coverage to at least one mMTC node in at least one geographical area of the plurality of geographical areas, based on the forecasted plan.

Abstract: Methods and systems for sharing aerial assets amongst terrestrial network operators. Embodiments enable sharing of aerial assets amongst the terrestrial network operators and facilitate on-demand deployment of the aerial cells to improve coverage and capacity of the terrestrial network operators. Embodiments allow sharing of aerial assets such as aerial cell mount, backhaul, an aerial RAN, and aerial spectrum using sharing architectures. Embodiments provide a managing entity for forecasting data traffic pertaining to the terrestrial network operators and optimizing the deployment of the aerial cells, based on the forecasted data traffic, for enabling strategic deployment of the aerial cells. Embodiments ensure that the resources of the aerial cells are effectively utilized and the number of aerial cells required for enhancing the capacity of the terrestrial network operators is minimized.
