System and method for separating and communicating information-type data and signal-type data
First Claim
1. A communication system for communicating data among a plurality of electronic modules, comprising:
- a data type classifier configured to separate data into information-type data and signal-type data, the data type classifier receiving data from at least one sensor and being configured to separate the data from the at least one sensor as signal-type data;
a first communication stack configured to communicate the information-type data among the plurality of electronic modules; and
a second communication stack configured to communicate the signal-type data among the plurality of electronic modules,wherein the first communication stack and the second communication stack share a physical data link.
