Connected Automotive Solutions for Software Defined Vehicles

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) represents a critical evolution in Ethernet technology, designed to meet the demands of real-time, deterministic communication. TSN is built upon IEEE 802.1 standards, which address Ethernet's traditional limitations in latency and jitter, making it suitable for applications requiring precise timing and synchronization.   This overview provides an in-depth look at TSN's key features and operational principles and a comparison with Time-Triggered Ethernet (TTE). At ExcelFore, we pioneered the integration of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology, ensuring your systems achieve unparalleled reliability, precision, and efficiency. Core Components of TSN TSN integrates several advanced technologies to enhance Ethernet performance. The Precision Time Protocol (PTP), specified in IEEE 1588, is central to TSN, which provides high-precision clock synchronization across network devices. PTP ensures that all devices on the network operate with...

Developing Software-Defined Vehicles poses numerous challenges to bring them into reality. One of the areas is managing the prioritized communication to the controllers and edge sensors in vehicle networks for applications such as software updates or data collection.   While embracing the use of new software frameworks such as docker containers, SDVs are also driving increased use of Ethernet for connectivity of all network nodes within a vehicle network. Some of the nodes carry time sensitive data that has to reach their intended destinations promptly e.g. ADAS, object detection alerts. For time criticality to succeed, latency management becomes essential.  For such applications, TSN (Time-Sensitive Network) protocols have advanced the management of time critical data within an automotive network. Automotive architectures have begun to actively deploy TSN within their network. In the last few years, they have been predominantly used to manage infotainment.  But no...
