Methods, systems and apparatuses for optimizing time-triggered ethernet (TTE) network scheduling by bin allocation, demand prediction and machine learning

Abstract:

Methods, systems and apparatuses for scheduling a plurality of Virtual Links (VLs) in a Time-Triggered Ethernet (TTE) network by determining a weight for each of the plurality of VLs, the determined weight being proportional to a demand each of the plurality of VLs will place on the time-triggered ethernet network; generating a plurality of bins whose length in time is harmonic to all the scheduled rates of the plurality of VLs; determining a demand value proportional to how often the bin is expected to be used based upon a green zone of each of the plurality of VLs and the determined weight for each of the plurality of VLs; updating the demand value for each bin within the green zone; sorting the plurality of bins from least demanded to most demanded based upon the updated demand value; and scheduling the sorted plurality of VLs within the sorted plurality of bins.
