An SDN Architecture for Automotive Ethernets

Road vehicles are equipped with a rising number of driver assistance systems resulting in increasing bandwidth demand and need for reconfiguration that are difficult to satisfy with traditional in-vehicle networks. As a result, automotive Ethernet networks become more common. With rising complexity of in-vehicle networks, new requirements emerge and call for more flexible automotive network architectures. In this work, we give examples of how Ethernet-based automotive network architectures can profit from software-defined networking (SDN) and present an SDN-based architecture that allows to reconfigure the network dynamically

Integration of IEEE C37.118 and publish/subscribe communication

IEEE C37.118 is the current standard for synchrophasor measurements in power systems. It defines the measurement method and communication protocols for the entities in a synchrophasor network. The standard offers two different modes for client-server communication, but cannot be used unchanged over publish/subscribe communication architectures, whose major advantage is simplified and incremental integration of new applications. This work reviews the communication part of IEEE C37.118, and provides an adapter-based solution to easily connect and integrate entities in a synchrophasor network over a publish/subscribe communication architecture. The proposed adapters offer standard-compliant communication between the synchrophasor measurement network entities to facilitate the exchange of measurement data
