Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network is featured by almost unlimited bandwidth potential, great flexibility, strong expandability and transparent to protocol and bit rate, which makes it a good choice for avionics systems. However, the end-to-end delay of message transmitted on WDM avionics is uncertain on the real-time performance. WDM network cannot ensure determinacy for the time-critical message transmitted on future avionics network. This paper introduces time-triggered mechanism to WDM network and proposes the architecture of time-triggered avionics WDM (TTAWDM) network, including protocol layer, data format, scheduling procedure, etc. The time-triggered mechanism can process a statically configured communication schedule for time-critical message, which can ensure determinacy for the transmission process and end-to-end delay of message, and can meet real-time requirements. Then the real-time property of messages is analyzed based on the architecture design of TTAWDM, and based on network calculus, the calculation method of upper bound delay of rate-constrained messages is given. Finally, a simulation experiment of TTAWDM is conducted, and the results show that TTAWDM can be a totally deterministic network for time-critical messages and the calculation method of upper bound delay is effective.
