Ethernet Based IEC61375 for Train Communication Networks Industrial Ethernet Solutions Ethernet based IEC61375 for Train Communication Networks Ethernet technology has been widely deployed for train communication networks (TCN) and also onboard EDs (End Devices). The international IEC standard has structured the Ethernet based TCN into a hierarchical way with ETB (Ethernet Train Backbone, referred to IEC61375-2-5) and ECN (Ethernet Consist Network, referred to IEC61375-3-4). The ETB solution takes care of the interconnection and interoperability between train consists, while the ECN solution looks after the communications of end devices within each consist. Since the train borne network is different from the typical communication network with fixed locations, especially in the train set coupling and decoupling scenarios, ETB has to be adaptive to the topology change and also react for layer 3 routing. TTDP, R-NAT, and also other features are defined in IEC61375 to build an Ethernet based TCN for TCMS (Train Control and Management System) TTDP, Train Topology Discovery Protocol All ETBNs (ETB Nodes) has to support TTDP for train network inauguration and topology resilience. In the following diagram, when Consist #2 is coupled with Consist #1, TTDP helps ETBNs renew the topology along with new IP assignment, so that there will not be any IP conflicts or mismatching. 10.128.0.1/18 10.128.0.2/18 10.128.0.1/18 10.128.0.2/18 A B C D Consist #1 Consist #2 10.128.0.1/18 10.128.0.2/18 10.128.0.3/18 10.128.0.4/18 ETB A B C D Consist #1 Consist #2 R-NAT, Railway-Network Address Translation In order to keep identical configuration as well as network scheme of each ECN but still allows the communications between EDs across different consists, R-NAT is introduced for IP address mapping and translation between different subnets. As shown in the diagram, the EDs are assigned with the same IP in different consists. When EDs have to communicate with each other, the upper level ETBN will help translate and forward the packets towards the destination.

Bypass Since the communications of TCMS is crucial for train operation, high Availability of train network is critical. In case one single consist failure, the network should remain uninterrupted regardless of one ETBN malfunction.

Modern society demands cheap, more efficient, and safer public transport. These enhancements, especially an increase in efficiency and safety, are accompanied by huge amounts of data traffic that need to be handled by wireless communication systems. Hence, wireless communications inside and outside trains are key technologies to achieve these efficiency and safety goals for railway operators in a cost-efficient manner. This paper briefly describes nowadays used wireless technologies in the railway domainand points out possible directions for future wireless systems.
