Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
Time-sensitive Networking is a recent technology for transmission of real-time information. It is basically a time-slotted version of Ethernet.

It can be applied to many fields: telecommunication operators (5G/6G, cloud-RAN), industrial communications (industry 4.0), communication buses in space vehicles, airplanes, automobiles and trains, and audiovisual communication networks (radio and TV production). More details can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-Sensitive_Networking

5G/6G networks are also starting to be used in industrial communications. Therefore, some kind of gateway between TSN and 5G/6G is needed, and that is the role of the recently defined 5G User Plane Function (UPF) and TSN Translator (TT) function. For more details, see https://www.ericsson.com/en/blog/2021/2/how-5g-integrates-tsn-systems

This thesis will include:

- Restart and testing of a 5G-TSN testbed developed in previous projects
- Adding more functionalities in various aspects: optimization module, emulation of the 5G radio channel.
- Testing the prototype, obtain results, and describe them in a technical report/paper.

We will build on the results from previous theses:
