A Network Scheduling Method Based on Segmented Constraints for Convergence of Time-Sensitive Networking and Industrial Wireless Networks

Abstract

In industrial applications, it is necessary to select different types of networks according to different communication requirements. To meet this requirement, a converged network of wired and wireless networks is frequently employed. Notably, fulfilling the end-to-end transmission requirements of converged networks is challenging. As a solution, converged-network scheduling methods have proved valuable. In this paper, a network scheduling method for the convergence of industrial wireless networks and time-sensitive networks is proposed. Additionally, the proposed method is tested and verified. The results show that the end-to-end average transmission delay is reduced and the jitter is acceptable.
