System-of-Systems development based on deterministic Ethernet

确定性以太网最初被设计为专注于车载通信的航空电子通信平台，提供了允许多辆车紧密耦合的固有功能。因此，单个基于确定性以太网的系统可以相互连接，形成基于确定性以太网的系统的系统（so）。虽然固有的确定性以太网特性需要在各个系统之间建立有线连接，但有必要探索构建基于确定性以太网的so的可能性，这些so利用彼此之间和/或与通用导航参考（如全球导航卫星系统（GNSS））的无线连接。因此，本博士的重点将放在基于单个确定性以太网系统的确定性以太网系统的系统的构建上，这些系统通过GNSS参考和无线实现的可能性来协调它们的行动。这一发展的好处应该针对相关用例进行识别和量化，例如指挥无人机群或无人机与地面站协调。博士论文将通过分析方法（可能基于模拟）以及对确定性以太网开发系统的实际评估来探索研究假设。

Deterministic Ethernet, which has been originally designed as avionics communication platform with focus on in-vehicle communications provides inherent features that allow to tightly couple multiple vehicles. Thus, individual Deterministic Ethernet -based systems can connect to each other to form a Deterministic Ethernet -based System-of-Systems (SoS). While the inherent Deterministic Ethernet features require a wired connection between the individual systems, there is a need to explore the possibilities to construct Deterministic Ethernet -based SoS that leverage wireless connections to each other and/or to a common navigation reference such as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Therefore, the focus of this PhD will be on construction of System-of-Systems using Deterministic Ethernet based on individual Deterministic Ethernet systems that coordinate their actions by means of a GNSS reference with a possibility of a wireless implementation. The benefits of this development should identified and quantified for the relevant use cases, e.g. commanding the swarms of UAVs or UAV to ground station coordination.The PhD thesis will explore the research hypothesis, both by analytical means (potentially based on simulations) as well as by means of practical evaluation on a Deterministic Ethernet Development System.
