    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method and a TSN bridge for optimizing performance of an indoor industrial network, an indoor industrial network therefor, and a method for predicting network problems in an indoor industrial network. The method optimizes the performance of an indoor industrial network by utilizing an AI module in a TSN bridge. The AI module receives SINR and Delay information from a sync agent in a mobile router, environmental parameters from sensors, and obstacle data from cameras. The AI module identifies potential time accuracy deterioration in device clocks based on the received data. This information is then communicated to a CNC and a CUC for adjustment of data packet size. Finally, a User Plane Function sync agent is instructed to send updated time information to the devices for clock adjustments.

  • Publication number: 20200329442
    Abstract: A system for communication in an industrial environment. The system includes a server arrangement coupled, via a data communication network to network core, and devices. The system generates timing information for each of the devices using the server arrangement, the timing information is converted into timing packets to be received by each of the devices. The system broadcasts second encapsulated timing packets to each of the devices, via the network core. Communication channel of the data communication network performs first encapsulation of the timing packets and the network core performs second encapsulation of the first encapsulated timing packets. The system receives uplink data for communication from each of the plurality of devices based on the timing information and provide downlink data to the plurality of devices, corresponding thereto.
