Variable Length CAN Message Compression Using Bit Rearrangement

Kyung-Ju Cho · Journal of the Institute of Electronics Engineers of Korea · 2011

In this paper, we propose a CAN message compression method using bit rearrangement to reduce the CAN bus load and the error probability during the transmission of CAN messages. In conventional CAN message compression methods, message compression is accomplished by sending only the differences between the previous data and the current data. In the proposed method, the difference bits are rearranged to further increase the compression efficiency. By simulations in car applications, it is shown that the CAN transmission data is further reduced up to 26% by the proposed method, compared with the conventional method.
