Equivalent Test Model of Wireless Optical Communication System for Automotive Environment

Abstract

Driver’s demands are increasing to connect with in-vehicle network using their smart devices for the media playing service needed to use high bandwidth and display quality in vehicular environment. Especially, either on environment of wire or wireless communication, customer wants to be in seamless network status. Recently, on wired communication, MOST (Media Oriented System Transport) network system satisfies as an in-vehicle network has been adopted in all kinds of cars. MOST networks uses optical fiber as the means of communication. As the optical network system is applied, it is contented with high data rates, low weight and high reliability without interference of electro-magnetic fields. Under the condition of being linked with MOST networks, proposed system which exchanges the data by wireless optical communication will take role of connectivity with MOST networks equipped in car. In this paper, it has been validated the interconnection of hetero network system and defined equivalent test model for automotive environment.
