| Comprehensive MOST Standard Work MOST Standard After an introductory description of the MOST Cooperation and its structure the reader is given an overview of all network architectures in vehicles to facilitate a better understanding of the use cases for MOST. The subsequent introduction to the MOST Technology is an overview of the system architecture, the application framework and the protocols. The next chapter on physical layers starts with an introduction and the basics of the layer structure followed by a system description and concludes with further developments and alternative transmission media. Various MOST interface controllers and network services are listed and explained. The authors then go on to describe the MOST system design. Two important subjects include the testing of MOST based infotainment systems and the compliance processes. Finalizing the first part of the compilation, the reader is given an overview of the almost 4000 pages of MOST specifications. MOST Applications The second part of the book is dedicated to the practical use cases of MOST: Beginning with an introduction of the various development tools of various providers, the structure of a simple MOST system with three communication participants is described. The examples used are a CD changer, an amplifier and a control interface. The connection of external devices via gateways illustrating the versatility of the architecture follow. Production and processing of MOST components as well as MOST in series production conclude the work . The appendix provides an overview of different communications systems and explains the abbreviations and special terminology used. About MOST Technology MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) is a multimedia networking technology optimized for but not restricted to use in cars. It enables transport of high quality of service audio and video together with packet data and real-time control over a single transmission medium. MOST offers transmission over Plastic Optical Fiber and Unshielded Twisted Pair copper physical layers under automotive conditions. MOST to date is used in over 55 car models and represents the communication backbone for their information and entertainment equipment. About MOST Cooperation The MOST Cooperation is the organization through which MOST Technology is standardized and refined so that it continues to stay abreast of the latest industry requirements. Today it consists of 16 international carmakers and more than 75 key component suppliers. They have joined together to work with the MOST Technology and to contribute to its innovation. The MOST Cooperation is prepared to embrace efforts to further develop and standardize the technology for other industries and to establish the corresponding work structures. The MOST Cooperation was founded in 1998 to standardize MOST Technology as a global standard for multimedia networking. Audi, BMW, Daimler, Harman/Becker and SMSC as core partners form its Steering Committee. For more information see www.mostcooperation.com.
