RDM+: a new Mac layer real-time communication protocol

Many real-time communication protocols have been studied to guarantee the communication requirements of distributed real-time systems. But, current techniques lack all or most of these requirements specially bounded message delivery time. In this paper we have proposed a Mac layer protocol called RDM+ with concepts similar to Round Data Mailer multi layer protocol. Our simulation results show that this new protocol has the potential to be used in todaypsilas automotive systems.
