Method and System for Controlling Redundancy Functionality in a Communication Network Using Time Sensitive Networking - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056398 titled 'Method and System for Controlling Redundancy Functionality in a Communication Network Using Time Sensitive Networking
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for controlling redundancy functionality in a communication network by configuring distant located redundant modules.
- Redundant pair created over the communication network with a TSN.
- Primary and secondary modules defined based on transmission of a signal to first and second module.
- Primary and secondary modules create a TSN stream configuration for communicating redundancy information.
- Primary module communicates redundancy information periodically over TSN stream configuration to secondary module.
- Secondary module triggered to perform function of primary module in response to at least one event.

Original Abstract Submitted
a system and method for controlling redundancy functionality by configuring distant located redundant modules in a communication network includes creating a redundant pair over the communication network having a tsn; defining a primary and a secondary module based on a transmission of a signal to a first and second module; causing the primary module and the secondary module to create a tsn stream configuration for communicating redundancy information between the primary and secondary module; enabling the primary module to communicate the redundancy information periodically over the tsn stream configuration to the secondary module; and triggering the secondary module to perform the function of the primary module in response to determining at least one event.
