Abstract
Embodiments include methods for a controller of a plurality of user equipment (UEs) that are served by a radio access network (RAN) node. Such methods include receiving information about the following from each of the UEs: first measurements, UEof respective timing events of the radio link between the UE and the RAN node; and second measurements, UEof respective time differences between the UE receiving a downlink reference signal, RS, and transmitting a corresponding uplink RS. Such methods also include, based on the received information, selecting one of the plurality of UEs to provide a time-sensitive network (TSN) end station with a TSN message timestamped by a system clock time that is associated with the RAN and that is based on at least one first measurement and at least one second measurement. Other embodiments include complementary methods for a UE, and controllers and UEs configured to perform such methods.
