Abstract:

A strict time determinism of time-triggered (TT) messages in time-triggered ethernet (TTE) is established on the basis of precise system clock synchronization. When the system synchronization status deteriorates, the TT messages' time determinism will be greatly affected. For TTEthernet switch traffic classes transformation capability, a TT transformation strategy based on the time windows detection (TT-TWD) is proposed in this paper. The transformation strategy allows the TT data to avoid losing or having an unacceptable delay when the system synchronization accuracy is reduced. In order to guarantee the strategy performance, a scheduling algorithm (Priority scheduling algorithm based on Traffic Classed Transformation Strategy, PTCTS) is designed. Real-time performance of PTCTS algorithm is analyzed using network calculus theory. The performance of PTCTS algorithm and first-in-first-out (FIFO) scheduling algorithm is compared. The results confirm that PTCTS algorithm can effectively lower the upper delay bounds of the rate-constrained (RC) traffic which is transformed from TT without losing the determinism of the original RC data.
