Gateway for Data Communication in a Vehicle

A gateway (100) for data communication in a vehicle, comprising:

• a first communication interface, configured to use a first communication protocol;
• and
• a second communication interface configured to use a second communication protocol,
• wherein the gateway (100) is configured to transmit data from the first (111) to the second (112) communication interface and to transmit data from the second communication interface (112) to the first communication interface (111), and
• wherein the gateway (100) further comprises a media converter (107) configured to convert quality of service information from the first to the second communication protocol and from the second to the first communication protocol.

A method (1200) for data communication in a vehicle, comprising the steps of:

• receiving (1201) data at a first communication interface (111), which uses a first communication protocol;
• converting (1202) quality of service information from the first to a second communication protocol;
• and
• transmitting (1203) the data to a second communication interface (112), which uses the second communication protocol.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that, when executed on a processor (103) of a gateway (100), instructs the gateway (100) to perform the following steps:

• receiving (1201) data at a first communication interface (111), which uses a first communication protocol;
• converting (1202) quality of service information from the first to a second communication protocol;
• and
• transmitting (1203) the data to a second communication interface (112), which uses the second communication protocol.
