Abstract
This paper presents an integrated solution for 5G and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), incorporating a protocol conversion mechanism, a Hybrid Stochastic Timed Fuzzy Petri Net (HSTF-PN) model, and a customized TSN node time synchronization scheme. First, a reverse protocol mapping-based conversion mechanism is introduced to address interconnection challenges between 5G and TSN protocols. Second, the HSTF-PN model, which integrates stochastic delays and fuzzy logic, is proposed to dynamically optimize network resource allocation. Third, a customized TSN node time synchronization scheme, implemented with FPGA hardware acceleration, enables high-speed data processing for precise clock alignment. Finally, the proposed 5G–TSN integration solution is validated on an FPGA platform, demonstrating its effectiveness in ensuring clock consistency, minimizing delays, and enhancing data flow efficiency.
期刊介绍:
The proposed journal, called the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering (TNSE), is committed to timely publishing of peer-reviewed technical articles that deal with the theory and applications of network science and the interconnections among the elements in a system that form a network. In particular, the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering publishes articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks at the fundamental level. The types of networks covered include physical or engineered networks, information networks, biological networks, semantic networks, economic networks, social networks, and ecological networks. Aimed at discovering common principles that govern network structures, network functionalities and behaviors of networks, the journal seeks articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks. Another trans-disciplinary focus of the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering is the interactions between and co-evolution of different genres of networks.
