Introduction
The Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) communication technology was initially developed at
the end of the 1990s in order to support complex audio applications in cars. The MOST Cooperation was
founded in 1998 with the goal to develop and enable the technology for the automotive industry. Today,
1)
MOST enables the transport of high quality of service (QoS) audio and video together with packet data
and real-time control to support modern automotive multimedia and similar applications. MOST is a
function-oriented communication technology to network a variety of multimedia devices comprising
one or more MOST nodes.
Figure 1 shows a MOST network example.
Figure 1 — MOST network example
The MOST communication technology provides:
— synchronous and isochronous streaming,
— small overhead for administrative communication control,
— a functional and hierarchical system model,
— API standardization through a function block (FBlock) framework,
— free partitioning of functionality to real devices,
— service discovery and notification, and
[4]
— flexibly scalable automotive-ready Ethernet communication according to ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 .
MOST is a synchronous time-division-multiplexing (TDM) network that transports different data types
on separate channels at low latency. MOST supports different bit rates and physical layers. The network
clock is provided with a continuous data signal.

of users of this document and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO.

ISO 21806-8:2020(E)

Within the synchronous base data signal, the content of multiple streaming connections and control
data is transported. For streaming data connections, bandwidth is reserved to avoid interruptions,
collisions, or delays in the transport of the data stream.
MOST specifies mechanisms for sending anisochronous, packet-based data in addition to control data
and streaming data. The transmission of packet-based data is separated from the transmission of
control data and streaming data. None of them interfere with each other.
A MOST network consists of devices that are connected to one common control channel and packet
channel.
In summary, MOST is a network that has mechanisms to transport the various signals and data streams
that occur in multimedia and infotainment systems.
The ISO standards maintenance portal (https:// standards .iso .org/ iso/ ) provides references to MOST
specifications implemented in today's road vehicles because easy access via hyperlinks to these
specifications is necessary. It references documents that are normative or informative for the MOST
versions 4V0, 3V1, 3V0, and 2V5.
The ISO 21806 series has been established in order to specify requirements and recommendations
for implementing the MOST communication technology into multimedia devices and to provide
conformance test plans for implementing related test tools and test procedures.
To achieve this, the ISO 21806 series is based on the open systems interconnection (OSI) basic reference
[2] [3]
model in accordance with ISO/IEC 7498-1 and ISO/IEC 10731 , which structures communication
systems into seven layers as shown in Figure 2. Stream transmission applications use a direct stream
data interface (transparent) to the data link layer.

ISO/DIS 21806-8:2019(E)
Introduction
The Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) communication technology was initially developed at
the end of the 1990s in order to support complex audio applications in cars. The MOST Cooperation was
founded in 1998 with the goal to develop and enable the technology for the automotive industry. Today,
MOST enables the transport of high Quality of Service (QoS) audio and video together with packet data
and real-time control to support modern automotive multimedia and similar applications. MOST is a
function-oriented communication technology to network a variety of multimedia devices comprising
one or more MOST nodes.
Figure 1 shows a MOST network example.

The MOST communication technology provides
⎯ synchronous and isochronous streaming,
⎯ small overhead for administrative communication control,
⎯ a functional and hierarchical system model,
⎯ API standardization through a function block (FBlock) framework,
⎯ free partitioning of functionality to real devices,
⎯ service discovery and notification, and

⎯ flexibly scalable automotive-ready Ethernet communication according to ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3.
MOST is a synchronous time-division-multiplexing (TDM) network that transports different data types
on separate channels at low latency. MOST supports different bit rates and physical layers. The network
clock is provided with a continuous data signal.
Within the synchronous base data signal, the content of multiple streaming connections and control
data is transported. For streaming data connections, bandwidth is reserved to avoid interruptions,
collisions, or delays in the transport of the data stream.
MOST specifies mechanisms for sending anisochronous, packet-based data in addition to control data
and streaming data. The transmission of packet-based data is separated from the transmission of
control data and streaming data. None of them interfere with each other.
A MOST network consists of devices that are connected to one common control channel and packet
channel.
In summary, MOST is a network that has mechanisms to transport the various signals and data streams
that occur in multimedia and infotainment systems.
The ISO Standards Maintenance Portal (http://standards.iso.org/iso/) provides references to MOST
specifications implemented in today's road vehicles because easy access via hyperlinks to these
specifications is necessary. It references documents that are normative or informative for the MOST
versions 4V0, 3V1, 3V0, and 2V5.
MOST® is the Registered Trademark of Microchip Technology Inc. This information is given for the
convenience of users of this document and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO.
The ISO 21806 series has been established in order to specify requirements and recommendations for
implementing the MOST communication technology into multimedia devices and to provide
conformance test plans for implementing related test tools and test procedures.
To achieve this, the ISO 21806 series is based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic
Reference Model in accordance with ISO/IEC 7498-1[1] and ISO/IEC 10731 [2], which structures
communication systems into seven layers as shown in Figure 2.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 21806-8:2019(E)
Road vehicles — Media oriented systems transport (MOST)
framework —
Part 8:
150 Mbit/s optical physical layer
1 Scope
This document specifies the transportation media MOST150 optical physical layer (oPHY). All MOST150
oPHY networks operate as synchronous rings regardless of physical layer media or bit rate. Therefore,
all MOST networks require the same basic types of timing measurements. These actual timing
requirements are specific for the combination of physical layer and bit rate; the measurement methods
are generalized into a strategy used to specify any MOST150 oPHY network and guarantee operation.
This document outlines the basic measurement techniques, parameters and the 150-Mbit/s oPHY bit
rate dependant values of the measurements, methods and actual parameter values. It also contains the
constraints that govern and define interfaces and parameters, which are the base for development of
real products.
A physical connection of two MOST devices is called a link. This document describes measurements
taken at specific locations along a link. These locations are called specification points. The location of
the specification points is shown in Figure 3.
Key
Tx MOST network controller transmit terminal
Rx MOST network controller receive terminal
SP1 Specification point 1
SP2 Specification point 2
SP3 Specification point 3
SP4 Specification point 4
Figure 3 — Location of specification points along a link
SP1 and SP4 define the electrical signal requirements between a MOST network controller (MNC) with
its input Rx and output Tx and a converter. SP1 and SP2 define the transmit converter while SP3 and
SP4 define the receive converter. SP2 and SP3 define the properties of the interface between a MOST
device and a wiring harness (e.g., signal timing, signal amplitude, connector interface drawings).

ISO/DIS 21806-8:2019(E)
Beside the link, there are also requirements covering the stability of the MOST network. Examples are
requirements regarding jitter transfer through MOST devices and jitter accumulation around the MOST
network.
This document summarizes all parameters and definitions required for individual specification points,
as well as MOST network requirements.
The specified parameters in this document are minimum values to ensure functionality of the MOST
network in a wide range of environment conditions. Real hardware may have better performance than
requested by the standard to provide operating margin for the MOST network.
