Electrical/electronic system architecture
First Claim
1. An electrical/electronic system architecture for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a plurality of regions partitioning the vehicle, wherein each of said regions includes a regional electrical/electronic controller (REEC);
at least one local network partitioning each of said regions, wherein each of said at least one local network includes an electrical/electronic device and a bus having a communication line communicating directly between the respective REEC and the electrical/electronic device of the at least one local network;
a global power distribution network distributing power from a power source to said REEC within each of said regions;
a regional power distribution system that distributes power from said REEC to said at least one local network, within said region;
a global communication network that provides serial data communication between said REECs in each of said regions; and
a regional communication network communicating with said global communication network, wherein said regional communication network provides data communication between said REEC and said local network within said region.

Abstract
An electrical/electronic system architecture for a vehicle includes a plurality of regions partitioning the vehicle, with each region having a regional electrical/electronic controller (REEC) and at least one local network partitioning each region, with each local network having an electrical/electronic device. The electrical/electronic system architecture includes a global power distribution network that distributes power from a power source to the REEC within each region and a regional power distribution system that distributes the power from the REEC to the local network. The electrical/electronic system architecture also includes a global communication network that provides serial data communication between the REECs in the regions and a regional communication network communicating with the global communication network, such that the regional communication network provides data communication between the REEC and the local network within the region.
