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, a method for operating a base station in a wireless communication system includes receiving, from a terminal, information on a residence time of the terminal and a transmission time of an uplink frame, determining a radio access network residence time based on the transmission time of the uplink frame, and transmitting the radio access network residence time and the residence time of the terminal to a user plane function (UPF).

Claims (44)

1. A method performed by a device for a user plane function (UPF) in a 5 th generation system (5GS), the method comprising:

receiving, from a node of a time sensitive network (TSN), a message for synchronization;

generating an updated message for synchronization by including:

information for determining a residence time spent within the 5GS, and

information of a link delay from the node of TSN, wherein the link delay is added to a correction field of the message; and

transmitting, to a terminal in the 5GS, the updated message for synchronization.

2. A method performed by a terminal in a 5 th generation system (5GS), the method comprising:

receiving, from a device for a user plane function (UPF) in the 5GS, a message for synchronization including:

information for determining a residence time spent within the 5GS, and

information of a link delay from a node of a time sensitive network (TSN) in a correction field of the message;

identifying a residence time; and

transmitting, to a slave associated with the TSN, an updated message including the residence time added to the correction field of the updated message.

3. A terminal in a 5 th generation system (5GS), the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a device for a user plane function (UPF) in the 5Gs, a message for synchronization including:

information for determining a residence time spent within the 5GS, and

information of a link delay from a node of a time sensitive network (TSN) in a correction field of the message;

identify a residence time; and

transmit, to a slave associated with the TSN, an updated message including the residence time added to the correction field of the updated message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises a sync frame or a follow up frame.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the residence time is added to a correction field of the updated message.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the residence time is a difference between a time at which the message is received and a time at which the terminal receives the updated message.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the updated message comprises adding the link delay to the correction field of the message.

8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the message comprises a sync frame or a follow up frame.

9. The method of claim 2 , wherein the link delay is added to the correction field of the message for synchronization.

10. The method of claim 2 , wherein the residence time is a difference between a time at which the device for the UPF receives a message from a node of the TSN and a time at which the terminal receives the message.

11. The method of claim 2 , wherein the identifying the residence time comprises adding the residence time to the correction field of the updated message.

12. The terminal of claim 3 , wherein the message comprises a sync frame or a follow up frame.

13. The terminal of claim 3 , wherein the link delay is added to the correction field of the message for synchronization.

14. The terminal of claim 3 , wherein the residence time is a difference between a time at which the device for the UPF receives a message from a node of the TSN and a time at which the terminal receives the message.

15. The terminal of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to add the residence time to the correction field of the updated message.

16. A device for a user plane function (UPF) in a 5th generation system (5GS), the device comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a node of a time sensitive network (TSN), a message for synchronization;

generate an updated message for synchronization by including:

information for determining a residence time spent within the 5GS, and

information of a link delay from the node of TSN, wherein the link delay is added to a correction field of the message; and

transmit, to a terminal in the 5GS, the updated message for synchronization.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the message comprises a sync frame or a follow up frame.

18. The device of claim 16 , wherein the residence time is added to a correction field of the updated message.

19. The device of claim 16 , wherein the residence time is a difference between a time at which the message is received and a time at which the terminal receives the updated message.

20. The device of claim 16 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to add the link delay to the correction field of the message.
