Abstract
A method of configuring an in-vehicle network includes: receiving a first wake-up signal from a first controller among a plurality of controllers in a sleep mode by an Ethernet switch; activating the Ethernet switch according to the wake-up signal; determining a routing port according to a destination address of the Ethernet data received from the first controller; and transmitting a second wake-up signal of a second controller among the plurality of controllers through a physical-layer processing device included in the Ethernet switch corresponding to the determined routing port.
Claims16
A method of configuring an in-vehicle network, the method comprising steps of:
- receiving a first wake-up signal from a first controller among a plurality of controllers in a sleep mode by an Ethernet switch;
- activating, by a processor, the Ethernet switch according to the first wake-up signal;
- determining, by the processor, a routing port according to a destination address of Ethernet data received from the first controller;
- and
- transmitting a second wake-up signal of a second controller among the plurality of controllers through a physical-layer processing device included in the Ethernet switch corresponding to the determined routing port.
An Ethernet switch comprising:
- a first physical-layer processing device configured to receive a first wake-up signal from a first controller among a plurality of controllers in a sleep mode;
- a processor configured to activate the Ethernet switch according to the first wake-up signal and to determine a routing port according to a destination address of the Ethernet data received from the first controller;
- and
- a second physical-layer processing device configured to transmit a second wake-up signal of a second controller among the plurality of controllers through a physical-layer processing device corresponding to the determined routing port.
