Real Time Ethernet for Automotive What is Audio Video Bridging (AVB)? 802.1 AS Time Synchronisation 802.1 Qav Forwarding and Queuing Enhancements 802.1 Qat Stream Reservation
Common time basis Synchronization of networked ECUs Coordinating multiple ECUs Meets jitter and wander requirements Guarantees timely execution Administration free protocol Real Time Ethernet for AutomotiveWhy does AVB suite In-Vehicle Requirements? Speaker 802.1 AS TFT HU Switch Speaker DVD RSE Speaker Switch Master Clock Synchronized Clock
Segregate, rate frames in Switches Separation of Real time traffic (e.g. Brake) from Non-real time traffic (e.g. Audio) Allows physical consolidation of subnetworks Protects the vehicle from external traffic Queing and traffic shaping Assures maximum delays Reduces latency Gives class based gurantees Real Time Ethernet for Automotive Why does AVB suite In-Vehicle Requirements? Switch Switch ABS DVD 802.1 Qav HU ACC

Real Time Ethernet for Automotive Impact of AVB on Architecture Powertrain Chassis Multimedia Body Powertrain Powertrain Multimedia Multimedia
Ethernet AVB provides Quality of Service necessary in the vehicle Ethernet AVB provides similar costs to standard Ethernet Current activities: Integration of AVB in Automotive ECUs The authors recommend to use standards Research on QoS model for different data transmission Evaluation of enhancements and modifications of AVB Real Time Ethernet for Automotive Summary and next steps
Network and Configuration Management Not all ECUs needed at a time, depending on vehicle state Energy can be preserved by disabling unneeded devices Need for controlled activation and deactivation of devices or subsystems At present: done by energy detection on common bus systems (CAN, MOST, FlexRay) 10 10 Bus topology
Network and Configuration Management Energy detection in fully switched Ethernet networks Physical point-to-point connections Activity only detected by one single host Control host state by controlling link state Advantage:Ability to control devices individually 11 11 Switched Ethernet
Sent when PHY is enabled Used for Link Test (10BaseTX) Autonegotiation (100, 1000BaseT) Sent every 16 ms New additional use:Link energy control Network and Configuration Management Link Pulses 12 12 Single pulse: approx. 2 V amplitude, 100 ns duration
Network and Configuration Management Fundamental elements of the concept management protocol,e.g. SNMP 13 13 Network Manager Control & Surveillance Notifications Link Energy Detection Switch Manager Link Activity
Network and Configuration Management Current activities and next steps 14 Integration of SNMP into an Automotive Environment Examination of different approaches to network configuration Research on algorithms which allow dynamic reconfiguration of the system Analysis of energy saving capabilities Realization of an experimental model network for concept evaluation 14
