Abstract
Deterministic Networking (DetNet) is emerging to support the deterministic transmission in the Large-scale Deterministic Networks (LDNs). Recent proposals focus on the cooperation of different shaping mechanisms in Time Sensitive Networks (TSN) and DetNet to achieve the deterministic cross-domain in LDNs. However, the queue overflow caused by multi-domain access and the uncontrolled micro bursts during cross-domain remain challenges. To address this dilemma, a deterministic cross-domain scheme for LDNs is essential. In this paper, we design the Deterministic Cross-Domain Transmission and Scheduling (DCDTS), where the deterministic cross-domain cycle mapping scheme is proposed to fulfill the one-to-one cycle mapping between different domains and the cooperation of mechanisms in TSN and DetNet. In addition, we propose the Cyclic Queuing Clusters Forwarding (CQCF) mechanism to solve the effect of micro bursts during transmission in cross-domain and DetNet domains. Furthermore, we design the Hybrid Greedy-DDQN-based Traffic Scheduling (HGDTS) algorithm, which integrates the greedy and double deep Q-network into a two-step scheduling. The prototype and simulation experiments show that CQCF outperforms DIP in the number of successfully scheduled flows by approximately 22.4%. Moreover, HGDTS improves the schedulability, resource utilization, and convergence speed compared to the six baseline algorithms.
