Worst Case Response Time Analysis of Sporadic Traffic in MVB

Abstract:

The Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB) protocol is well applied to train network control system where a set of process variables must be transferred between network devices. To cope with the real-time requirements of such system, the MVB protocol is designed to support both periodic and sporadic traffic. The periodic traffic is handled according to a static scheduling table, thus the schedulability can be certain after system initialization. However, for the sporadic traffic, the situation is different due to their irregular occurrence in the system. Therefore, more complex analysis must be made in order to guarantee its timing requirements. In this paper, a schedulability analysis is made by executing worst case response time analysis for sporadic traffic in MVB network.
