Patent ID: 11564230

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for supporting TSN in a wireless communication network are disclosed. The method for supporting fully-distributed time-sensitive networking (TSN) by a user plane function in a mobile communication system includes receiving a first status frame through a user equipment (UE) connected to a first TSN node, the first status frame including at least one of information about the first TSN node, information about a second TSN node for transmitting a data frame, stream information for transmitting data, and accumulated latency information; transmitting an update request for service quality (QoS) setup to a TSN application function (TSN AF) through a PDU session update procedure for the UE based on the received first status frame; and updating the first status frame upon receiving QoS setup information from the TSN AF, wherein the QoS setup information may include at least one of accumulated latency designated by the TSN AF, the status of the first TSN node, and the status of the second TSN node.
