A communication terminal is provided for supporting a periodical data flow by forwarding messages received from a communication network to an external node not synchronised with the communication network. The communication terminal is configured to obtain one or more timing adjustment indications from an access node of the communication network and adjust the transmission and/or reception timing of the periodical data flow in dependence on the timing adjustment indication(s). The one or more timing adjustment indications are based on clock mismatch information between the communication terminal and the external node and a holding time.

The present disclosure relates to time-aware Quality-of-Service (QoS), in particular techniques for providing time-aware QoS in communication systems such as 5G NR (New Radio). In particular the disclosure relates to a device for translating between a first communication network, in particular a deterministic communication network, and a second communication network, in particular a mobile communication network, in particular a 5G communication network, wherein the device comprises: an application function that is configured to translate between Quality-of-Service (QoS) parameters of the first communication network and QoS parameters of the second communication network; a QoS profile comprising the QoS parameters of the first communication network translated by the application function and, optionally, additional QoS parameters originating from the second communication network; and a signaling procedure configured to exchange the translated QoS parameters within the second communication network.

Time-aware quality-of-service in communication systems

A device translates between a first communication network, in particular a deterministic communication network, and a second communication network, in particular a mobile communication network, in particular a 5G communication network. The device is configured to execute an application function that is configured to translate between Quality-of-Service, QoS, parameters of the first communication network and QoS parameters of the second communication network. A QoS profile includes the QoS parameters of the first communication network translated by the application function and, optionally, additional QoS parameters originating from the second communication network. The device is further configured to execute a signaling procedure configured to exchange the translated QoS parameters within the second communication network.

A network operator apparatus, a teleoperation application (TOApplication) apparatus, and an apparatus for a teleoperable vehicle are provided. The network operator apparatus creates a network slice for teleoperating the teleoperable vehicle along at least one route, receives a slice configuration request comprising QoS for the at least one route from the TOApplication apparatus, and configures the network slice to support the QoS. The TOApplication apparatus communicates towards the network operator apparatus, a request for creating the network slice, receives a teleoperation service request comprising a set of teleoperation configurations from the teleoperable vehicle, maps each teleoperation configuration to a respective QoS and sends the slice configuration request comprising the QoS to the network operator apparatus. The apparatus for the teleoperable vehicle sends the teleoperation service request to the TOApplication apparatus and controls the route to be followed by the teleoperable vehicle based on information from the TOApplication apparatus.
