Network Establishing Method, Ethernet System, and Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18488216 titled 'Network Establishing Method, Ethernet System, and Vehicle
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for establishing a network using Ethernet technology, specifically in a vehicle context. The network consists of multiple backbone nodes that form a ring network. Each backbone node has a first and second backbone port. The first backbone port of the first backbone node is in a forwarding state, while the second backbone port is in a blocked state. However, both ports of the other backbone nodes are in a forwarding state.
- The patent application proposes a method for creating a network in a vehicle using Ethernet technology.
- The network is formed by connecting multiple backbone nodes in a ring configuration.
- Each backbone node has a first and second backbone port.
- The first backbone port of the first backbone node is in a forwarding state, allowing data transmission.
- The second backbone port of the first backbone node is in a blocked state, preventing data transmission.
- The first and second backbone ports of the other backbone nodes are both in a forwarding state, enabling data transmission.
Potential Applications:
- Vehicle networking systems: This technology can be applied in vehicles to establish a reliable and efficient network for various purposes, such as communication between different vehicle components or connected devices.
- Intelligent transportation systems: The network established using this method can facilitate communication and data exchange between vehicles, infrastructure, and traffic management systems, enabling advanced features like cooperative driving and traffic optimization.
Problems Solved:
- Network establishment in vehicles: The method provides a solution for creating a network within a vehicle, ensuring seamless communication between different components and devices.
- Efficient data transmission: The ring network configuration allows for efficient data transmission between the backbone nodes, reducing latency and improving overall network performance.
Benefits:
- Reliable network connectivity: The ring network configuration ensures redundancy and fault tolerance, minimizing the risk of network failures.
- Scalability: The method can be applied to networks with any number of backbone nodes, making it suitable for various vehicle sizes and configurations.
- Simplified network management: The forwarding and blocked states of the backbone ports simplify network management and ensure proper data flow within the network.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application provides a network establishing method, an Ethernet system, and a vehicle. A network includes M backbone nodes. Each of the M backbone nodes includes a first backbone port and a second backbone port. The M backbone nodes form a ring network by using the first backbone ports and the second backbone ports. M is an integer greater than 2. The M backbone nodes include a first backbone node. The first backbone port of the first backbone node is in a forwarding state, and the second backbone port of the first backbone node is in a blocked state. Both the first backbone port and the second backbone port of another backbone node are in a forwarding state.
