Zhang Hua, Na Lu, Weiliang Xie, Peng Li · 2021
As a new generation of mobile communication system, 5G has opened the era of full connections and services. The advantages of low jitter, low delay, and deterministic transmission of Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) has gradually attracted widespread attention from the industry. It provides strong supports for application scenarios require higher reliability and lower latency and becomes one of the most important evolution directions of the next-generation industrial network. This paper firstly introduces TSN and related application scenarios, then analyzes its corresponding traffic characteristics and performances, and finally discussed the two key technologies of TSN, which provide reliable transmission and increase the air interface transmission rate respectively, which refer to Packet Data Convergence protocol (PDCP) duplication and Ethernet Header Compression (EHC).
