5G-DetNet/TSN for Industrial Automation

The 4th industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, promises to create completely flexible production lines with automated-guided mobile robots. To enable this transformation, 1/0 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. Despite all efforts on 5G-TSN integration for industrial automation, still a unified end-to-end integration has not been realized. This research project will look at different aspects of this end-to-end integration
