Abstract
It comprises a plurality of ECU configured to transmit and receive static and dynamic messages over a communication bus. Each of the plurality of ECU sets an upper limit of the number of dynamic messages to be transmitted to the communication bus per unit time to the number of dynamic messages that can be transmitted in a distribution amount to itself of the second bandwidth. Each of the plurality of ECU adjusts the transmission of the dynamic message to the communication bus such that the number of dynamic messages to be transmitted to the communication bus per unit time does not exceed the above upper limit.
Claims3
A communication network system comprising a plurality of electronic control devices configured to be able to transmit and receive static messages and dynamic messages via a communication bus, wherein:
- a total sum of data lengths of the static messages transmitted to the communication bus per unit time does not exceed a first bandwidth, of a bandwidth of the communication bus;
- a second bandwidth that is the bandwidth of the communication bus excluding the first bandwidth is allocated to the electronic control devices as a bandwidth for communication of the dynamic messages;
- and
- each of the electronic control devices is configured to
- set an upper limit of the number of the dynamic messages to be transmitted to the communication bus per unit time to the number of the dynamic messages allowed to be transmitted using an amount of the second bandwidth allocated to the electronic control device itself, and
- coordinate transmission of the dynamic messages to the communication bus such that the number of the dynamic messages transmitted to the communication bus per unit time does not exceed the upper limit.
