Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an operating method of a user plane function (UPF) in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor are provided. The operating method includes receiving a first parameter for clock synchronization from a base station, and performing the clock synchronization with a neighboring network system using the received first parameter and a second parameter. The first parameter may include information relating to a link delay time between the neighboring network system and a network system comprising the UPF, and a residence time of a terminal, a base station and the UPF of the network system comprising the UPF, and the second parameter may include information relating to a backhaul delay time between the base station and the UPF.

Claims (74)

1. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a session management function (SMF), a message including at least one quality of service (QoS) parameter associated with time sensitive networking (TSN); and

scheduling a packet based on the message,

wherein the at least one QoS parameter includes a parameter of a loss tolerance, and

wherein the parameter of the loss tolerance is associated with a maximum number of consecutive failures.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling of the packet based on the message comprises:

calculating a residence time of the packet based on a pre-stored delay time value; and

scheduling based on a priority of the packet.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling of the packet comprises, based on identifying that the scheduling cannot be performed within a pre-stored delay time value, dropping the packet.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling of the packet comprises:

based on identifying that loss of consecutive downlink packets exceeding the loss tolerance,

increasing a priority; and

rescheduling the packet.

5. The method of claim 1 ,
