发明名称 System and method for communicating data in a vehicle system
摘要 A system includes a router transceiver unit that is configured to be disposed on-board a vehicle system. The vehicle system may have at least a source vehicle and a separate linked vehicle that are mechanically linked with each other to travel together along a route and that are communicatively linked with each other through a system network of the vehicle system. The router transceiver unit is configured to be communicatively coupled to a requesting operational component of the source vehicle and the system network. The router transceiver unit is also configured to receive a local data packet from the requesting operational component that is directed toward a target operational component of the linked vehicle. The router transceiver unit includes an encapsulation module that is configured to transform the local data packet into an in-tunnel data packet, where the local and in-tunnel data packets have different packet formats.

主权项 1. A system comprising: a router transceiver unit configured to be disposed on-board a vehicle system having at least a source vehicle and a separate linked vehicle that are mechanically linked with each other to travel together along a route and that are communicatively linked with each other through a system network of the vehicle system, the router transceiver unit configured to be communicatively coupled to a requesting operational component of the source vehicle and the system network, the router transceiver unit also configured to receive a local data packet from the requesting operational component that is directed toward a target operational component of the linked vehicle, wherein the local data packet is in a first packet format and the router transceiver unit includes an encapsulation module configured to transform the local data packet that is received by the router transceiver unit from the requesting operational component in the first packet format into an in-tunnel data packet by changing a format of the local data packet from the first packet format to a different, second packet format that is configured to be communicated by the router transceiver unit through the system network to the linked vehicle.
