<p>Apparatus and method for communication between an external system (104) and a communications apparatus (112), preferably embedded in a vehicle and including a modular base system (124) comprising a number of network devices (132) and a network management module (130). The network devices (132) include network modules (134) and network resources (138). Each network module (134) includes a number of subsystems that provide communications-related functions (188) and one or more of them is part of different network layers. The network modules (134) are able to communicate with each other using a common interface (142) under the management of the network management module (130). The network resources (138) include first in first out buffers, circular buffers and no copy buffers. The base modular system (124) communicates with an applications module (116) and physical devices (120) located in the vehicle. After network module registration with the network management module (130), communications can be made utilizing the modular base system (124) between the applications module (116) and the physical devices (120).</p> |
