MULTI-LEVEL VIDEO PROCESSING WITHIN A VEHICULAR COMMUNICATION NETWORK
A system for controlling power distribution within a vehicular communication network, including a power source equipment comprising a first port in communication with a network node module of a device, and a Power over Ethernet (POE) management module. The POE management module is configured to enable POE to the device via the first port, monitor a current draw of the device, determine whether the current draw of the device exceeds a threshold, and disable POE to the device, responsive to determining that the current draw exceeds the threshold.
1 . A method, comprising:
receiving a packet in a vehicle communications network;
determining a mode for the packet;
providing the packet by concurrent transmission via a cable and a wireless link if the mode is a link aggregation mode or a hot standby mode and a cable failure is not detected; and
providing the packet by wireless transmission via the wireless link only if the mode is the link aggregation mode or the hot standby mode and the cable failure is detected.
