  • Patent number: 11343359
    Abstract: An operation method of a first communication node in an Ethernet-based vehicle network is provided. A frame n is generated including a data unit n, and a first indicator indicating that a size of a data unit n+1 to be transmitted via a frame n+1 after determining that the frame n is different from a size of the data unit n. The frame n is transmitted to a second communication node and the frame n+1 is generated including the data unit n+1. The frame n+1 is then transmitted to the second communication node.
