Communication architecture for sensorfusion systems

In- and inter-vehicle networking is one of the most exciting topics in todays´ vehicle concepts. State of the art networks in cars which are configured in a very specific and fixed manner have reached their conceptional limit. Todays´ approach is integration into an overall network, which guarantees an effective and lasting communication over years. Thus its main application is to maximise safety and individual mobility. Therefore an open network concept on all layers has to be built. The paper discusses such a concept based on gateways, considering the application´s network parameters, like bandwidth, real-time parameters and mobility in ad-hoc networking.
