6.2.32 TSN AF

Taught in 4. What each network function does (The 5G system architecture, in depth), 2. Who does what in the core (The 5G system architecture, overview).

The TSN AF supports control plane translator functionality for the integration of the 5GS with a TSN network, this involves e.g.:

  • 5GS Bridge management.
  • Port and bridge management information exchange with DS-TT or NW-TT.
  • Interactions with the CNC for 5GS Bridge configuration and reporting.
  • determining the TSC Assistance Container and TSN QoS information by mapping TSN Stream(s) based on IEEE standards. The traffic pattern parameter determination may be based on PSFP (IEEE Std 802.1Q [98]) as specified in Annex I, clause I.1.
