Worst-Case Access Delay of HomePlug Green PHY (HPGP) for Delay-Critical In-Vehicle Applications

Abstract

Abstract-The increasing complexity of automotive electronics has put considerable pressure on automotive communication networking to accommodate in-vehicle information flows. The use of power lines has been a promising alternative to in-vehicle communications because of elimination of extra data cables. In this paper, we focus on the latest HomePlug Green PHY (HPGP) which has been promoted by major automotive manufacturers for green communications with electric vehicles, and study its worst-case access delay performance in supporting delaycritical in-vehicle applications using both theoretical analysis and the simulation. Specifically, we apply Network Calculus as a deterministic modeling approach to evaluate the worst delay and further verify its performance using the OMNeT++ simulation. Evaluation results are also supplemented to compare with legacy methods and provide useful guidelines for developing HPGP based vehicular power line communication systems.

Rede Lan Residencial Power Line Communications Por Meio Da Tecnologia Homeplug Av

“…O uso da tecnologia PLC sustentada pela especificação Homeplug Green PHY, também vem sendo estudada para uso em comunicações intraveiculares. O estudo realizado por Sheng et al (2017), mostrou que a tecnologia é promissora para a troca de informações entre os diversos sensores de um automóvel moderno. Utilizando a malha elétrica disponível no veículo, não é necessário acrescentar peso extra com instalação de novos cabos e o desempenho mostrou-se aceitável mesmo para aplicações críticas quanto ao atraso de transmissão.…”
