MOBILE-NETWORK ENTITIES FOR TIME SENSITIVE COMMUNICATION ACROSS TSN DOMAINS OVER A MOBILE NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18486834 titled 'MOBILE-NETWORK ENTITIES FOR TIME SENSITIVE COMMUNICATION ACROSS TSN DOMAINS OVER A MOBILE NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed invention is related to a Time Sensitive Network (TSN) and provides a solution for time-sensitive communication across one or more TSN domains over a mobile network, such as a 5G network. It introduces a mobile-network entity that interacts with the TSN domains and acts as a TSN-aware mobile network entity.

  • The mobile-network entity receives a management request from a TSN management entity, which includes TSN management operations and parameters.
  • It then sends an instruction to one or more TSN-aware mobile-network entities, which includes mobile-network operations, mobile-network parameters, and optionally TSN parameters.
  • The TSN-aware mobile-network entities receive the instructions and perform the mobile-network operation based on the mobile-network parameter, and optionally the TSN parameter.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enabling time-sensitive communication across TSN domains over a mobile network, such as in industrial automation, automotive systems, or real-time multimedia streaming.
  • Facilitating seamless integration of TSN with mobile networks, allowing for efficient and reliable communication in time-critical applications.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Overcoming the challenges of integrating TSN with mobile networks, which have different protocols and requirements.
  • Enabling time-sensitive communication over mobile networks, which traditionally have higher latency and lower reliability compared to wired networks.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enables real-time communication and synchronization across TSN domains over a mobile network, ensuring timely and accurate data transmission.
  • Provides flexibility and scalability by allowing TSN-aware mobile-network entities to perform mobile-network operations based on the received instructions.
  • Enhances the efficiency and reliability of time-sensitive applications by leveraging the capabilities of both TSN and mobile networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure relates to a Time Sensitive Network (TSN). The disclosure provides an implementation for time sensitive communication across one or more TSN domains of the TSN over a mobile network, for example, over a 5G network. To this end, the disclosure provides a mobile-network entity for interacting with the TSN domains, and provide a TSN-aware mobile network entity. The mobile-network entity receives a management request, which indicates one or more TSN management operations and one or more TSN parameters, from a TSN management entity. It then sends an instruction, which indicates one or more mobile-network operations, one or more mobile-network parameters, and optionally at least one TSN parameter, to one or more TSN-aware mobile-network entities. The TSN-aware mobile-network entities receive accordingly the instructions and perform the mobile-network operation according to the mobile-network parameter, and optionally the TSN parameter.
