WHAT IS THE NEED FOR SWICOM?

CURRENT IN-VEHICLE COMMUNICATION NETWORK

ARCHITECTURE

Built-in

devices Add-in devices In-vehicle gateways Application hosts

CURRENT IN-VEHICLE SERVICE ORIENTED NETWORKS

LIMITATIONS OF THE CURRENT SYSTEM

Requirement

of a dedicated hardware Difficulties in deployment High maintenance cost Modification possible only through physical intervention Difficult to reconfigure and update Space constraints

SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO

(SDR)
"Radio in which some or all of the physical layer functions are software defined"

INTRODUCTION OF SDR INTO THE PRESENT CONTEXT

Software

Defined Radio-evolution Signal processing by software components Generic hardware with programmable processors

SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO (SDR) TERMINAL

Delegates much of its signal processing to software components Inexpensive and efficient CORBA used as a message-passing technique
