Fuel utilization efficiency and cost reduction are two major goals in designing in-vehicle networks. Aiming to address these two issues, we investigate in-vehicle networking protocols from both wired and wireless perspectives by first presenting representative solutions in each area, then identifying the challenges to current solutions, and finally advocating the use of the automotive Ethernet. Also, we propose a priority-based scheduler for the automotive Ethernet. Our preliminary experiments show that the proposed scheduler is effective and flexible, and thus is applicable to next-generation in-vehicle networks. We hope that further studies in this area can be inspired by our work and will be forthcoming in years to come.

车载网络：协议、挑战和解决方案


燃料利用效率和降低成本是设计车载网络的两个主要目标。为了解决这两个问题，我们从有线和无线两个角度研究车载网络协议，首先提出每个领域的代表性解决方案，然后确定当前解决方案面临的挑战，最后倡导使用汽车以太网。此外，我们还为汽车以太网提出了一种基于优先级的调度程序。我们的初步实验表明，所提出的调度器有效且灵活，因此适用于下一代车载网络。我们希望这一领域的进一步研究能够受到我们的工作的启发，并将在未来几年内展开。
