  • Patent number: 12041481
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)-cellular communication system Quality of Service (QoS) mapping are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method performed for operating a cellular communications system as a virtual TSN node in a TSN system comprises, at a TSN application function, receiving one or more TSN QoS parameters for the virtual TSN node from a controller associated with the TSN system and providing the one or more TSN QoS parameters to a core network function in a core network of the cellular communications system. The method further comprises, at the core network function, receiving the one or more TSN QoS parameters, mapping them to one or more QoS policies and/or one or more rules in the cellular communications system, and applying the one or more QoS policies and/or the one or more rules in the cellular communications system.

  • Patent number: 11950127
    Abstract: Systems and method are disclosed herein that relate to support for virtual Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) bridge management, Quality of Service (QoS) mapping, and TSN related scheduling in a cellular communications system. In some embodiments, a method performed by one or more network nodes of a cellular communications system operating as a virtual TSN bridge of a TSN network comprises providing, to a controller associated with the TSN network, parameters that relate to capabilities of the virtual TSN bridge. The parameters that relate to the capabilities of the virtual TSN bridge comprise a first parameter that defines a clock accuracy of an entity in the cellular communications system that operates gating control for the virtual TSN bridge and a second parameter that informs the controller associated with the TSN network that the virtual TSN bridge or a particular egress port of the virtual TSN bridge is restricted to exclusive gating.

  • Patent number: 9646040
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to the implementation of configurable rules that automatically monitor large volumes of data stored in a database. Certain embodiments may leverage the high processing power available to the database engine of an in memory database, in order to perform analysis of large data volumes for compliance and other purposes. Particular embodiments may utilize ABAP Database Connectivity (ADBC) to a HANA in memory database available from SAP AG, in order to implement and execute configurable rules in connection with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) of large volumes of data stored therein. In various embodiments, an analysis engine in the application layer may rely upon the in memory database engine to execute at least some logic of the configurable rules.
