“The continued advancements of fifth generation of wireless cellular standards and networks will address new enterprise and industrial use cases. These complex use cases often require data delivery within a specified time duration with a high degree of guaranteed reliability.” Chris Pearson, 5G Americas
“Ultra reliable low latency and time-sensitive networking can bring ubiquitous and smooth connectivity while meeting the real-time requirements. They have the potential to unleash new use cases and applications for automation and will lay the foundation for Industry 4.0.” He further added, “Time sensitive networking can provide guaranteed data delivery in a guaranteed time window, making it a key enabler technology for an enhanced automated 5G ecosystem.” Fatih Ulupinar , Principal Engineer, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc
TCS use cases in various industrial sectors
Typical timing generation, delivery and synchronization mechanisms Source Typical Precision Description Atomic Clock 1 part per10 15 An extremely expensive method of generating very high precision time. The root time reference for all other systems is typically an atomic clock NTP <20ms Network Time Protocol: Dominant protocol for distributing time over Internet. Not suitable for precision time delivery. PTP <1us Precision Time Protocol: Requires end-to-end support at all switches. Used in controlled deployments (e.g., factory, radio access network) GPS <50 ns Global Positioning System: Over the air, free and very accurate. Requires outdoor unobstructed antenna. GLONASS <200 ns Same as GPS 5GS <1us 5G system may provide timing based on several references; Universal Time Coordinated ( UTC), GNSS or Local Time.
