The existing response-time analysis for Controller Area Network (CAN) does not support mixed messages that are scheduled with offsets. Mixed messages are implemented by several high-level protocols for CAN that are used in the automotive industry. We extend the existing offset-based analysis which is applicable to any high-level protocol for CAN that uses periodic, sporadic and mixed transmission of messages. Moreover, we implement the extended analysis as a standalone simulator that will be integrated as a plug-in with the existing industrial tool suite (Rubus-ICE). The experiments, that we performed, indicate that it is possible to achieve up to 4.48% improvement in schedulability when mixed messages are scheduled with offsets.
Later on, Mubeen et al. REF extended the existing analysis for CAN to support mixed messages that are scheduled with offsets.
