Method Of Time Synchronization Of Free Running Nodes In An Avionics Network
Pavlo Bobrek - Bradenton FL, US Jeffrey VanDorp - Kentwood MI, US Harry Molling - Kentwood MI, US
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
H04J 3/06
US Classification:
370511, 370509
Abstract:
A method of synchronizing a local estimation of global network time of a receiving node on a network to a global network time reference is provided. The free running nodes receive precise time protocol synchronization messages and determine a ratio and an offset based on time data extracted from the messages.
Providing An Interface For An Avionics Data Transfer System
Systems and methods for providing an efficient and configurable port interface in an avionics data transfer system are provided. For instance, in one embodiment a set of virtual ports associated with an avionics data transfer system can be defined. At least as a subset of the virtual ports can be mapped to one or more addresses in a memory space associated with the data transfer system, such that each virtual port has a fixed definition in the memory space. One or more of the virtual ports can then be associated with one or more physical ports associated with an interface between a host computing device and an end system in the data transfer system by specifying for the one or more virtual ports a plurality of port parameters that define the respective one or more physical ports.
