Abstract

A wireless device sends to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a message comprising a time sensitive networking (TSN) bridge capability support parameter that indicates that the wireless device supports a TSN bridge functionality. The wireless device receives, from the AMF and based on the TSN bridge capability support parameter, a configuration update message comprising at least one route configuration rule. The wireless device sends, to the AMF, a request to establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session, the request comprising one or more configuration parameters determined based on the at least one route configuration rule.

Claims (75)

1. A method comprising:

sending, by a wireless device to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a message comprising a time sensitive networking (TSN) bridge capability support parameter that indicates that the wireless device supports a TSN bridge functionality;

receiving, by the wireless device, from the AMF, and based on the TSN bridge capability support parameter, a configuration update message comprising at least one route configuration rule; and

sending, by the wireless device to the AMF, a request to establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session, the request comprising one or more configuration parameters determined based on the at least one route configuration rule.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TSN bridge capability support parameter comprises:

a number of ports on the wireless device;

a parameter indicating that the wireless device supports spanning tree protocol; and

a parameter indicating that the wireless device supports TSN bridge functions.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the wireless device from a first station, a TSN request message that requires establishing a packet data unit (PDU) session, wherein the determining the one or more configuration parameters is further based on the TSN request message.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the TSN request is a stream reservation protocol message.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the TSN request is received from a TSN bridge.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one route configuration rule is a user equipment route selection policy (URSP), wherein the URSP comprises:

a traffic descriptor of a TSN system comprising:

an identifier of the TSN bridge;

an identifier of a traffic descriptor of the TSN system; and

a priority value of the traffic descriptor of the TSN system; and

a TSN connection capability.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration update message comprises a protocol configuration option (PCO) information element.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration update message is a registration accept message.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprises at least one of:

a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) associated with a TSN system;

a data network name (DNN) associated with the TSN system;

a PDU session type associated with the TSN system;

an access type associated with the TSN system; or

a radio access technology (RAT) type associated with the TSN system.

10. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors;

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

send, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a message comprising a time sensitive networking (TSN) bridge capability support parameter that indicates that the wireless device supports a TSN bridge functionality;

receive, from the AMF and based on the TSN bridge capability support parameter, a configuration update message comprising at least one route configuration rule; and

send, to the AMF, a request to establish a packet data unit (PDU) session, the request comprising one or more configuration parameters determined based on the at least one route configuration rule.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the TSN bridge capability support parameter comprises:

a number of ports on the wireless device;

a parameter indicating that the wireless device supports spanning tree protocol; and

a parameter indicating that the wireless device supports TSN bridge functions.

12. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive, from a first station, a TSN request message that requires establishing a packet data unit (PDU) session, wherein the determining the one or more configuration parameters is further based on the TSN request message.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the TSN request is a stream reservation protocol message.

14. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the TSN request is received from a TSN bridge.

15. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one route configuration rule is a user equipment route selection policy (URSP), wherein the URSP comprises:

a traffic descriptor of a TSN system comprising:

an identifier of a TSN bridge;

an identifier of a traffic descriptor of the TSN system; and

a priority value of the traffic descriptor of the TSN system; and

a TSN connection capability.

16. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the configuration update message comprises a protocol configuration option (PCO) information element.

17. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the configuration update message is a registration accept message.

18. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprises at least one of:

a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) associated with a TSN system;

a data network name (DNN) associated with the TSN system;

a PDU session type associated with the TSN system;

an access type associated with the TSN system; or

a radio access technology (RAT) type associated with the TSN system.

19. A system comprising:

a wireless device comprising:

one or more first processors;

first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the wireless device to:

send a message comprising a time sensitive networking (TSN) bridge capability support parameter that indicates that the wireless device supports a TSN bridge functionality;

receive, from the AMF and based on the TSN bridge capability support parameter, a configuration update message comprising at least one route configuration rule; and

send, to the AMF, a request to establish the PDU session, the request comprising one or more configuration parameters determined based on the at least one route configuration rule; and

an access and mobility management function (AMF) comprising:

one or more second processors;

second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the AMF to:

receive, from the wireless device, the message;

determine that the wireless device supports the TSN bridge functionality;

send, to a policy control function (PCF), a policy association request message comprising the TSN bridge capability support parameter;

receive, from the PCF, a route selection policy comprising one or more configuration parameters of the wireless device that correspond to a traffic descriptor for a TSN system;
