Abstract
A method for scheduling a transmission of packets within a network using a common periodic time window, having a congestion protected section, partitioned into time slots, including time slots dedicated to packets being sensitive to a delay variation.
Claims21
A method for scheduling a transmission of packets within a network the method comprising:
- using a common periodic time window, having a congestion protected section, partitioned into time slots, including time slots dedicated to packets being sensitive to a delay variation, wherein a latency introduced by the used common periodic time window, is deterministic and is automatically compensated to minimize a delay variation within the network.
A network comprising nodes that are each configured to perform a scheduling method for scheduling a transmission of packets within the network using a common periodic time window, having a congestion protected section, partitioned into time slots, including time slots dedicated to packets being sensitive to a delay variation, wherein the network comprises:
- an access network;
- a fronthaul network;
- a midhaul network;
- a backhaul network;
- and/or
- a 5G mobile communication network, wherein the nodes are further configured to automatically compensate a latency introduced by the used common periodic time window, which is deterministic, to minimize a delay variation within the network.
A node of a network, the node comprising ports that are each configured to perform a scheduling method, for scheduling a transmission of packets within the network using a common periodic time window, having a congestion protected section, partitioned into time slots, including time slots dedicated to packets being sensitive to a delay variation, wherein the network comprises an access network, wherein the node is further configured to automatically compensate a latency introduced by the used common periodic time window, which is deterministic, to minimize a delay variation within the network.
