Assignee: NOKIA SOLUTIONS AND NETWORKS OY
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code for an application function of a 3GPP bridge for a time sensitive network, wherein the computer program code when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
receive, from a centralized network controller for the time sensitive network, at least one management object, the at least one management object comprising routing information for routing traffic of a time sensitive network flow between an ingress port of the 3GPP bridge and an egress port of the 3GPP bridge;
determine, based on the routing information and a bridge delay indicating a delay between the ingress port and the egress port through the 3GPP bridge, at least one quality of service constraint for the time sensitive network flow to provide a delay guarantee for forwarding traffic of the time sensitive network flow towards a destination media access control address; and
forwarding, to a policy control function of the 3GPP bridge, the at least one quality of service constraint to cause a change to a quality of service constraint of a protocol data unit session carrying the time sensitive network flow.
