Research project
The fourth Industrial Revolution, Industry 4.0, promises to create completely flexible production lines with automated guided mobile robots.
To enable this transformation, I/O devices (e.g., sensors and actuators) require not only a 5G Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) but also a deterministic and bounded low latency with a guaranteed data delivery and extremely low data loss.
In this regard, IEEE 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) and IETF Deterministic Networking (DetNet) become the de facto wireline technologies to complement 5G communication for industrial automation systems. 3GPP provides a fully centralized bridge model for a seamless 5G-TSN integration, where the TSN translators provide TSN ingress and egress ports for the 5G System.
The project will focus on Cloudification of the DetNet/TSN reliability functions, 5G-DetNet Integration and Dynamic DetNet/TSN configuration establishment.
