Abstract

A method of scheduling and transmitting frames of a first data stream in a composite network is provided. The method includes: determining, for the composite network, an allocation window based on a cycle time of the first data stream; determining a number of cycles for the first data stream based on the allocation window and the cycle time of the first data stream in the composite network; determining a number of frame transmissions for each cycle of the first data stream based on a payload of the first data stream and a maximum transmission unit of the composite network; scheduling the frame transmissions for each cycle of the first data stream sequentially on each link along the route and within the allocation window; and for each link, allocating a time-sensitive network slot or a wireless 5G window for each frame transmission based on a type of the link.
