What is ISO 21806-10 about?
ISO 21806-10 is part 10 of the multi-series standard that specifies the 150-Mbit/s coaxial physical layer for MOST (MOST150 cPHY), a synchronous time-division-multiplexing network.
ISO 21806-10 specifies the applicable constraints and defines interfaces and parameters, suitable for the development of products based on MOST150 cPHY. Such products include coaxial links, coaxial receivers, coaxial transmitters, electrical to coaxial converters, and coaxial to electrical converters.
ISO 21806-10 also establishes basic measurement techniques and actual parameter values for MOST150 cPHY.
Who is ISO 21806-10 for?
ISO 21806-10 on 150-Mbit/s coaxial physical layer for MOST is applicable to:
- Vehicle manufacturers
- Car infotainment manufacturers and developers
- Vehicle data services providers
- Developers of multimedia and infotainment systems
Why should you use ISO 21806-10?
MOST enables the transport of high-quality service (QoS) audio and video together with packet data and real-time control to support modern automotive multimedia and similar applications. MOST is a function-oriented communication technology to network a variety of multimedia devices comprising of one or more MOST nodes.
MOST is a synchronous time-division-multiplexing (TDM) network that transports different data types on separate channels at low latency. MOST supports different bit rates and physical layers. The network clock is provided with a continuous data signal.
MOST specifies mechanisms for sending anisochronous, packet-based data in addition to control data and streaming data. The transmission of packet-based data is separated from the transmission of control data and streaming data. None of them interfere with each other. MOST is a network that has mechanisms to transport the various signals and data streams that occur in multimedia and infotainment systems.
ISO 21806 series helps you implement the MOST communication technology into multimedia devices. It provides conformance test plans for implementing related test tools and test procedures.
ISO 21806-10 specifies requirements and recommendations for implementing the MOST communication technology into multimedia devices and provides conformance test plans for implementing related test tools and test procedures. This will help you in improving the quality of the multimedia experience in the car.
ISO 21806-10 defines requirements covering the stability of the MOST network. A few of the examples are requirements regarding jitter transfer through MOST devices, jitter accumulation through the MOST network, and power state transitions. The specified parameters in ISO 21806-10 are minimum values to ensure the functionality of the MOST network in a wide range of environmental conditions.
