Title
Gate-Shrunk Time Aware Shaper: Low-Latency Converged Network for 5G Fronthaul and M2M Services.
Abstract
A time sensitive converged network that can aggregate fronthaul and machine-to-machine (M2M) streams is required for the fifth generation mobile communication system (5G) era. Recently, a time sensitive network (TSN) for fronthaul in IEEE 802.1CM has been attracting attention. A time aware shaper (TAS), which is a component technology of a TSN, is an effective way to realize a converged network. However, lower priority streams suffer from a lack of usable bandwidth and a huge latency when employing a TAS because the broad bandwidth is reserved for high priority streams in TAS schemes. In this paper, we propose a gate shrunk (GS-)TAS, where a GS-frame is added at the end of high priority streams. We evaluate bandwidth use efficiency by using a numerical simulation. We also simulate the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the latency performance in a bridged node. We report that the latency reduction rate for the M2M stream is 55.2% for a CDF of 99.7%. In addition, the GS-TAS use does not affect the fronthaul streams.
