Wireless-aware TSN Engineering: Implications for 5G and Upcoming 6G Networks
Compared to wired networks, the integration of 5G and TSN introduces significant packet delays and packet delay variations making it challenging to compute 802.1Qbv schedules providing end-to-end latency and reliability guarantees. We provide an overview of strategies employing statistical knowledge of 5G channel conditions to allocate suitable 5G packet delay budgets (PDBs).
