Abstract

Communication networks are in constant evolution to adapt to the ever-changing demands of modern services and applications. On the one hand, technologies within the framework of the fifth generation of communication networks (5G), currently in a steady course towards 6G, are being designed with unprecedented performance and flexibility capabilities to empower the digital transformation of heterogeneous vertical industries. On the other hand, Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is being developed to enable converged network infrastructures able to satisfy the most stringent communication requirements in regards to bounded low latency and reliability. In verticals such as manufacturing, a joint usage of 5G and TSN is very promising to enable revolutionary use cases that coexist with the constraints imposed by industrial communications and systems. In this paper, we exhaustively survey the technology landscape concerning the integration between 5G and TSN technologies, including the perspectives of both industry and academia. In the first part of this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of relevant standards and outcomes from industry initiatives. We first examine the capabilities provided by TSN and their application to industrial communications. Likewise, we contextualize the 5G architecture and its key enabling technologies, and later provide a comprehensive review of the architecture and mechanisms to enable the integration between TSN and 5G. In the second part of this paper, we extensively survey the state of the art from academic literature concerning proposals that contribute to enabling, improving, and/or demonstrating different aspects of the integration or interworking between 5G and TSN technologies.

面向工业通信的 5G 与 TSN 技术和架构之间的整合与融合：调查

通信网络不断发展，以适应现代业务和应用不断变化的需求。一方面，第五代通信网络（5G）框架内的技术正在稳步向6G发展，其设计具有前所未有的性能和灵活性，为异构垂直行业的数字化转型赋能。另一方面，时间敏感网络（TSN）正在开发中，以使融合网络基础设施能够满足有关有限低延迟和可靠性的最严格的通信要求。在制造业等垂直行业，5G和TSN的联合使用非常有希望实现与工业通信和系统施加的限制共存的革命性用例。在本文中，我们详尽地调查了有关5G与TSN技术融合的技术前景，包括工业界和学术界的观点。在本文的第一部分中，我们对相关标准和行业举措的成果进行了全面回顾。我们首先研究TSN提供的功能及其在工业通信中的应用。同样，我们将5G架构及其关键使能技术置于背景中，然后对实现TSN与5G之间集成的架构和机制进行全面回顾。在本文的第二部分中，我们从学术文献中广泛调查了有关有助于实现、改进和/或展示5G和TSN技术之间集成或交互的不同方面的建议的最新状况。

期刊介绍： IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is an online journal published by the IEEE Communications Society for tutorials and surveys covering all aspects of the communications field. Telecommunications technology is progressing at a rapid pace, and the IEEE Communications Society is committed to providing researchers and other professionals the information and tools to stay abreast. IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials focuses on integrating and adding understanding to the existing literature on communications, putting results in context. Whether searching for in-depth information about a familiar area or an introduction into a new area, IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials aims to be the premier source of peer-reviewed, comprehensive tutorials and surveys, and pointers to further sources. IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials publishes only articles exclusively written for IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials and go through a rigorous review process before their publication in the quarterly issues. A tutorial article in the IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should be designed to help the reader to become familiar with and learn something specific about a chosen topic. In contrast, the term survey, as applied here, is defined to mean a survey of the literature. A survey article in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should provide a comprehensive review of developments in a selected area, covering its development from its inception to its current state and beyond, and illustrating its development through liberal citations from the literature. Both tutorials and surveys should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.
