In-vehicle networking is a method for transferring data among distributed electronic modules via a serial data bus. The classification of In-vehicle networks was introduced in this article and communication protocols such as LIN, CAN, VAN, J1850, and J1939 etc. were compared. There was a case study on character and performances of CAN protocol which is widely used in automotive industry and automation. The simulation results showed the error handling mechanism and bus load feature of CAN network. Layered-architecture of vehicle networks and protocols was explained considering communication requirement. The future trend of vehicle network communication protocols was also discussed.

A protocol modeling method is proposed to establish the protocol's OPNET simulation model based on its ESTELLE formal description. We use processes tree in OPNET to implement the embedded module mechanism in ESTELLE, and convert ESTELLE module FSM (Finite State Machine) to OPNET process FSM. This conversion technique is illustrated by applying it to model a specific subset of the MIL-STD 188-220C protocol. Since ESTELLE is a kind of international standards about network protocol formal description language (FDL) proclaimed by ISO, our modeling method not only guarantees the concordance for each phase in protocol project, but also increases efficiency of protocol modeling.

移动自组织网(MANET: Mobile Ad hoc Network)的研究者通常利用计算机仿真和实验床（testbed）来进行研究。这里提出了一种采用半实物仿真(HILS: Hardware in the Loop Simulation)的方法来研究 MANET 特性以及它与其他系统综合组网的仿真系统结构。通过半实物仿真可以提高仿真的精度，加速从设计到实现的进程。HILS 系统包括实物节点、仿真节点、提供仿真综合控制和调度的多任务分布式仿真平台EuroSim，以及针对高实时性要求配置的信道模拟器。作为例子，说明了在研究 MANET 组播路由技术中基于 HILS 构建的仿真框架。最后讨论了今后的扩展。
