A Network Scheduling Method for Convergence of Industrial Wireless Network and TSN

Abstract

In industrial application, it is necessary to select different kind of networks according to different kind of communication requirement. The converged network of wired and wireless networks is able to meet this need. It is a challenge to meet the end-to-end transmission requirements of converged networks. Therefore, the converged network scheduling mechanism is important. In this paper, a network scheduling method for convergence of industrial wireless network and TSN is proposed. Then, a test and verification for the method proposed is implemented. The results show that the end-to-end average transmission delay is reduced and the jitter is acceptable.
