You are right. In fact, I realized this mistake before reading your
message (while I was studying the standard to answer Thomas).
ISO 11898-1:2015 section 10.5 "Frame coding" says:
the frame segment as SOF, arbitration field, control field,
data field, and CRC sequence shall be coded by the method of
bit stuffing.
and:
The remaining bit fields of the DF or RF (CRC delimiter, ACK
field and EOF) shall be of fixed form and not stuffed.
So, indeed, the bit stuffing does not apply to the last 10 bits (1 + 1 + 1 + 7).
Furthermore, for FD frames, the CRC field already contains the fixed
stuff bits. So the overhead shall not be applied again or else, stuff
bits would be counted twice. In conclusion, for FD frames, the
otherhead for dynamic bit stuffing overhead should apply to the SOF,
arbitration field, control field and data field segments.
After reading the standard, I thought again about the overhead ratio
and it is more complicated than we all thought.
Let's use below nomenclature in the following examples (borrowed from ISO):
- "0": dominant bit
- "o": dominant stuff bit
- "1": recessive bit
- "i": recessive stuff bit
We probably all though below example to be the worst case:
Destuffed: 11111 11111 11111 11111
Stuffed: 11111o 11111o 11111o 11111o
Here, indeed, one stuff bit is added every five bits giving us an
overhead of 6/5 = 1.2.
However, ISO 11898-1:2015 section 10.5 "Frame coding" also says:
Whenever a transmitter detects five consecutive bits (*including
stuff bits*) of identical value in the bit stream to be
transmitted, it shall automatically insert a complementary
bit (called stuff bit) ...
Pay attention to the *including stuff bits* part. The worst case is
actually a sequence in which dominant and recessive alternate every
four bits:
Destuffed: 1 1111 0000 1111 0000 1111
Stuffed: 1 1111o 0000i 1111o 0000i 1111o
Ignoring the first bit, one stuff bit is added every four bits giving
us an overhead of 5/4 = 1.25.
The exact formula taking in account the first bit we previously ignored then:
Number of dynamic stuff bit = 1 + round_down((len(stream) - 5) / 4)
= round_down((len(stream) - 1) / 4)
Yours sincerely,
