Abstract
A method of scheduling and transmitting a wireless transmission over an air-interface in a composite network is provided. The composite network comprises a time-sensitive network comprising at least one time-sensitive network entity and a wireless network comprising at least one base station and the air-interface, wherein the air-interface comprises a plurality of slots, wherein each slot has a primary control channel defined at the beginning of the slot, and a number of secondary control channels defined in each slot after the primary control channel, and a plurality of data channels, each primary control channel defining a slot, each secondary channel defining a mini-slot. The method includes if a first air-interface window associated with a first entity in the time-sensitive network arrives at the air-interface before a primary control channel in a first slot of the plurality of slots, scheduling, by the base station via the primary control channel, a frame from the first entity for data transmission over data channels of the air-interface.
