Communication apparatus for real-time embedded control
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a node having a processor and a computer-readable medium, the node being associated with an electrical component of a real-time embedded control system configured to control one or more electronic components; and
a program stored on the computer readable medium that, when executed by the processor, is operable to;
identify data to be communicated; and
divide the data into one or more frames, each frame including;
a frame header; and
a frame data payload portion;
the frame data payload portion including one or more segments, forming a sequence of segments, each segment including;
a segment header including segment data indicating a location of the segment in the sequence; and
a segment data payload portion.

Abstract
A communication apparatus is provided, which may include a node having a processor and a computer-readable medium, the node being associated with an electrical component of a real-time embedded control system configured to control one or more electronic components. The communication apparatus may further include a program stored on the computer readable medium that, when executed by the processor, is operable to identify data to be communicated, and divide the data into one or more frames. Each frame may include a frame header and a frame data payload portion. The frame data payload portion may include one or more segments, forming a sequence of segments, each segment including a segment header including segment data indicating a location of the segment in the sequence. The segment may also include a segment data payload portion.
