5G Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) enables Reliable Wireless Communications

Traditional manufacturing faces labor shortages and outdated methods. Industry 4.0 technologies like 5G, AI, robotics, and additive manufacturing boost efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability. Consumers demand personalized, high-quality products faster, requiring agile, mass-customized production. TSN-enabled 5G will drive these advancements, helping manufacturers improve productivity and profits.

• Precision Time Synchronization Harmonization: Seamlessly bridging the synchronization mechanisms of wired TSN and 5G's internal timing. The 5G system (specifically the User Plane Function UPF and potentially the gNB) acts as a Transparent Clock or Boundary Clock within the TSN network.
• Deterministic Scheduling & Traffic Shaping over the Air Interface: Adapting 5G's radio resource scheduling and Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms to enforce TSN's strict timing and reliability requirements over the inherently variable wireless link, involving QoS Flow Mapping, Time-Aware Scheduling, Enhanced Reliability.
• Unified End-to-End Configuration & Resource Orchestration: Developing architectures and protocols that allow a centralized TSN Configuration Manager or a unified orchestrator to configure both the wired TSN network and the underlying 5G network resources as a single, cohesive deterministic system.

• Replacing cables for critical control with reliable wireless.
• Unifying networks （IT information technology and OT operational technology) onto one infrastructure.
• Dramatically simplifying installation and changes.
• Providing the bedrock for future advanced automation and Industry 4.0 use cases.

• Gold Medal at the 49th Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions, “IndustriNet 5G: Reliable and Deterministic Wireless Communications for New Industrialization”
• Silver Award in the 3rd Asia Exhibition of Innovations and Inventions Hong Kong, “Time-Sensitive 5G Communication for New Industrialization”
• Award of Excellence in TSN Technology Competition organized by the CC-Link Partnership Association (CLPA)

• Smart & Flexible Manufacturing (Industry 4.0) Application: Mobile robots (AGVs/AMRs), collaborative robots, and wirelessly connected CNC machines operating in sync on dynamic production lines.
• Power Grid Automation & Energy Microgrids: Real-time monitoring, protection, and control of distributed energy resources, substations, and smart grids.
• Autonomous Logistics & Smart Ports/Airports: Autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs), cranes, and drones coordinating cargo handling in ports/airports.
• Remote Robotic Surgery & Telemedicine: Telesurgery with haptic feedback, remote diagnostics using AR/VR, and mobile medical robots.
