Analysis of Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) based Control Traffic Merger Methods for Automotive Network

Abstract

Current vehicles are changing, and control traffic and multimedia data are being used in a mixed method in a single network. In response to this, IEEE has announced a protocol called TSN, and there is active research underway to apply this standard to vehicles. However, previous studies have focused on the upper levels (between end systems (ES) and switches). To the best of our knowledge, there has been no research on scheduling methods between ES and the lower levels(Electronic Control Units (ECUs), actuators, and sensors). In this paper, the performance of the implemented ES on an embedded system and four methods for processing data received from lower layers were evaluated by analyzing the jitter of received frames.
