Message scheduling optimization for FlexRay protocol.

FlexRay is a new communication protocol supported by a large group of car manufactures and automotive electronics suppliers. It's also accepted as the de-facto standard in the future. In this paper, we analyzed several message scheduling problems of FlexRay dynamic segment at first. Then we gave out a solution to improve the situations and also a detailed timing analysis. Finally, we simulated the system model stated in the paper and verified the solution with some experiments, and it's shown that our solution works efficiently. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
