Research Method to Optimize Logger for a Telecom Application Running on Embedded System

–Most of the embedded telecom applications running on customized processor boards are needed to record their activities in the form of log messages. These messages help telecom application developers to troubleshoot virtually all kinds of system and application problems. The logger also provides valuable early warning signs and also provides with crucial forensic data .Hence Logger’s performance is to be investigated and optimization is required for logger. In this project we are proposing a method to optimize logger for IPBTS application running on embedded system. This paper describes the procedure to asses and analyse logger with the syslog for telecom application and also elaborates the method to measure the logging time with a test application which contains two threads running on customized processor board. These papers presents the procedure to measure logging time and compare it with optimized syslog package logging time on linux operating file system. With this research experiment for logger, we minimized Layer 1 processing time in IPBTS product development project from 1700 micro seconds to 160 micro seconds. Layer 1 processing time includes channel activatation i.e. non combined CCCH channel, 3 TCHF, 1 SDCCH8 and mode of activation is by BTS controller stub. This paper also presents the experimental results to optimize syslog package for IPBTS application development on linux environment running on MPC 8548E processor board.
