US 2026/0100913 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATED WIRED-WIRELESS TIME-SENSITIVE NETWORKING

Abstract

The present disclosure describes a Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) network integrating wired and wireless TSN agents to ensure deterministic communication for mission-critical Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The TSN network includes the TSN agents, each configured to manage packet transmission and adjust priority classes based on flow schedules and Quality of Service (QoS) feedback report. TSN agents dynamically adapt to network conditions using feedback mechanisms, such as Buffer Status Report Polling, and Bandwidth Query Reporting. The TSN controller employs a reinforcement learning model, which is continually retrained/fine-tuned using the QoS feedback report, to generate optimized flow schedules, enhancing latency, reliability, and efficient use of resources.

Dependent claims

A Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) agent, comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory comprising one or more processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
receive one or more packets from a preceding agent;
and
transmit the one or more packets to a succeeding agent based on a flow schedule received from a TSN controller, wherein a priority class of the one or more packets is adjusted based on at least one of:
deadline misses or packets lost.
