  • Patent number: 10440157
    Abstract: The invention refers to a method and a communication system for transmitting in either direction data between any two devices in a client layer and/or a transport layer of a communication system. The data transmission is performed according to the transport control protocol, referred to hereinafter as TCP. In order to achieve a high data transmission rate it is suggested that central storage means (12) for buffering the data to be transmitted and a TCP protocol operation block (10) are provided within the communication system, wherein the TCP protocol operation block (10) handles references on the transported data stored in the storage means (12) instead of the data itself. The invention also refers to an embedded acquisition device (1) located between the two devices of the communication system, between which the data is to be transmitted. The acquisition device (1) comprises means adapted for performing the method according to the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20140163810
    Abstract: A method for accelerated data transmission among electronic control units (ECUs) and/or measuring devices in the context of motor vehicles is provided. In order to enable an accelerated data transmission, in particular fast (low) event cycle times, a low jitter and a high data throughput, the architecture of the data transmission is split up into (i) a control plane implemented in software operating on configuration, calibration and/or diagnostics data (“CD” data), and (ii) a data plane implemented in hardware transporting measurement data (“M” data) and/or prototyping data (“RP” data).

  • Patent number: 8289959
    Abstract: In a system and a method for real time transmission between modules that are serially connected to one another, each module embeds its useful data in a data packet received by a preconnected module, which has a data packet number, if a comparison value formed as a function of the data packet number agrees with an identification number (frameID) that is provided in the module.

  • Publication number: 20100242051
    Abstract: Administration module, producer and consumer processor, arrangement thereof and method for inter-processor communication via a shared memory, wherein the module includes: a device for storing and administering the states of triple-buffers, each buffer having a read-, a write- and an idle-sub-buffer; a device for communicating with at least one producer and at least one consumer processor, and wherein the administration device is formed to determine a targeted read- or write-sub-buffer from the triple-buffers in response to a producer or consumer processor access.
