Hybrid wireless-wired architecture based on power lines for communication between vehicles

摘要

Electrical architecture, EA, comprising: - power lines (38); - a plurality of electronic control units, ECUs, (14, 16, 18; 36, 42), at least some of the ECUs being equipped with wireless technology, WECUs, (16 , 18; 42); and - a plurality of both wired and wireless peripheral devices (22, 24; 46, 50) using wireless or wired communication or both, the ECUs (14, 16, 18; 36, 42) and the peripheral devices (22, 24; 46, 50) are connected to the power lines, PLC, (38, 48, 54) and communicate via them, and the communication between the ECUs (14, 16, 18; 36, 42) and the peripheral devices (22 , 24; 46, 50) is bidirectional, with error-correcting code used as part of the communication to increase reliability, the error-correcting code being a rate-free code with guarantees of minimal latency, including differential latency guarantees for newer packets higher and lower for older packages.
