  • Patent number: 11695491
    Abstract: Systems and methods to enable 5G system support for conveying time synchronization are provided. In some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for conveying external time domain information is provided. The method includes receiving a message in a first time domain used by the wireless device, the message comprising external time domain information; determining information about a second time domain based on the external time domain information; and conveying information about the second time domain to another node. In some embodiments, timing information is included into a GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) payload, and the wireless device can get timing information directly from the data payload. This minimizes the RAN and/or gNB impact and adds the potential for multiple time domain support.

    Abstract: Embodiments include methods for a network node in a RAN to support timestamping of time-sensitive network (TSN) messages received by a UE. Such methods include sending one of the following information to the UE for use in timestamping of TSN messages: a second indication of one of multiple available downlink propogation delay (DL PD) compensation methods that is selected by the network node the UE; or a DL PD compensation value, determined by the network node based on one of the available DL PD compensation methods selected by the UE on a different one of the available DL PD compensation methods selected by the network node for the UE. Such methods also include sending, to the UE proximately after sending the information, an indication of a system clock time, associated with the RAN, to be compensated by the UE based on the information.

  • Publication number: 20230150051
    Abstract: In a method of applying a weld to a target surface, a guide rail arrangement is attached to the target, the guide rail arrangement including at least one guide rail. A weld head carriage having a carriage housing, a rail follower assembly, and a sonotrode is movably mounted to the guide rail arrangement so that the follower assembly engages each guide rail for movement there-along. The weld head carriage is positioned adjacent the target surface, feedstock material is deposited onto the target surface, and the sonotrode is extended to engage the deposited feedstock material and apply a welding force to the feedstock material and the target. Relative movement between the carriage and the guide rail arrangement is initiated and ultrasonic vibrations are conducted into the feedstock material and the target, thereby welding the feedstock material to the target surface.
