436 CHAPTER 8 Networks
Q8-9 What is the longest time that a processing element may have to wait
between two successive data transmissions on a round-robin arbitrated
bus? Assume that each data transmission requires one time unit.
Q8-10 How can an automotive network ensure that safety-critical components are
not starved of bus access—that they are guaranteed to be able to transmit
within a certain amount of time?
Q8-11 Give examples of the component networks in a federated network for an
automobile.
Q8-12 Give an example of a simple protocol that would allow sensor nodes
in a sensor network to determine the other nodes with which they can
communicate.
