This study introduces a new traffic class for Ethernet Audio Video Bridging (AVB) networks to handle increasing Electronic Control Units (ECUs). It determines the worst-case delay, improving timing constraint fulfillment for in-vehicle networking.
Area of Science:
- Computer Engineering
- Network Engineering
- Automotive Systems
Background:
- Increasing Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in vehicles necessitate advanced networking solutions.
- Existing two Stream Reservation (SR) traffic classes in Ethernet Audio Video Bridging (AVB) may be insufficient for future vehicle functions.
- Ensuring timing constraints for diverse traffic types in automotive Ethernet is challenging.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the worst-case delay for an additional SR traffic class within the Credit-Based Shaper (CBS) algorithm.
- To analyze the impact of CBS on different priority flows, focusing on credit depletion scenarios.
- To propose models and methods for calculating worst-case queuing and end-to-end delays in Ethernet-AVB.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of Credit-Based Shaper (CBS) impact on priority flows and credit evolution trends.
- Development of two worst-case delay models for an additional SR traffic class.
- Application of network calculus and simulation for worst-case end-to-end delay determination.
- Proposal of an approach for worst-case queuing delay calculation.
Main Results:
- Established worst-case delay models for an additional SR traffic class under CBS.
- Proposed CBS configuration suggestions for optimized delay performance.
- Calculated worst-case queuing and end-to-end delays using network calculus and simulation.
- Demonstrated tighter delay bounds compared to existing models.
Conclusions:
- The proposed models provide more accurate worst-case delay estimations for Ethernet-AVB.
- The findings support the enhancement of Ethernet-AVB for robust in-vehicle networking.
- The study contributes to meeting the stringent timing requirements of future automotive systems.

Introduction to Membrane Traffic
The transport of soluble and membrane proteins is mediated by transport vesicles that collect cargo from one cellular compartment and deliver it to another by fusing with the target organelle membrane. The Rab...
Conjugate Addition (1,4-Addition) vs Direct Addition (1,2-Addition)
Conjugate addition results in a thermodynamically stable product. The reaction retains the stronger C=O bond at the expense of the weaker C=C π bond. The process is slow as the β carbon is less electrophilic than the carbonyl carbon.
Direct addition products are...
