D1.2- Year 1 Report on Requirements, Architecture and Performance Evaluation

This document includes a preliminary version of the operator's perspective for the TIMING technologies detailing the expected adoption of the TIMING solution and preliminary details of two use cases with a mapping between the use cases requirements and the functionalities of the TIMING architecture.

The deliverable also includes preliminary specifications of the components:

1. the Wi-Fi TSN nodes that evolve from the standard Wi-Fi and include functionalities to
   enable TSN,

2. the Ethernet TSN nodes that will include time-aware traffic shapers (802.1Qbv),

3. the TSN controller that will include specialized interfaces to the TSN nodes and the TSN
   connectivity manager,

4. the TSN Connectivity manager with interfaces to the OaaS repository and TSN and non-
   TSN controllers,

5. the scheduling algorithms for single and multiple APs,

6. the TSN models to be included in the OaaS repository. 

D1.3- Preliminary version of software components

This deliverable describes the preliminary version of the software modules that are being developed in the framework of the UNICO 5G TIMING project. It reports the status of each of the software components at the end of the first sub-project defined in the description of work. 

D1.4- Year 2 Report on Requirements, Architecture and Performance Evaluation

This document summarizes the activities carried out during the second year of the project related to WP1, devoted to providing updated specifications and preliminary performance evaluations of the TIMING components.

Section 2 contains an overview of typical deployment scenarios, including the expected number of devices and data rates, and a summary of the mix of traffic types that a TSN-based industrial communication network could face, along with the service requirements of the different traffic types.

The rest of the sections focus on the different TIMING components:

• The Wi-Fi TSN nodes that provide a wireless extension to the wired TSN data plane of the TIMING architecture.

• The Ethernet TSN nodes that provide the main operational settings to Safran's Ethernet- based segment of the TIMING TSN network and gather the telemetry and system status indicators.

• The TSN controller that includes specialized interfaces to the TSN nodes and the TSN connectivity manager, and is crucial to enable the connectivity manager's provisioning decisions.

• The TSN Connectivity manager (CM) that is a pivotal component in the TIMING architecture, as it is positioned at the apex and interfaces with both TSN and Metro SDN Controllers and the Digital Twin.

• The wireless scheduler that allocates Wi-Fi resources for multiple concurrent services (TSN and BE) in downlink and uplink.

• The Digital Twin (DT) that, in the event of provisioning requests, provides KPI estimations to guarantee that TS flows meet the required performance upon acceptance of these requests.
  This deliverable contains updated requirements and specifications for each component. Additionally, the deliverable describes performance tests and includes preliminary results corresponding to these tests.
