Job Background
To accommodate Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), the concept of Deterministic Networking (DetNet) is gaining lots of momentum among the communities of researchers and industrials working on both wired and wireless networks. The main objective of DetNet is to provide a network with the following features: i) deterministic Quality-of-Service (QoS) (e.g., bounded latency and delay variation -jitter-, and zero congestion loss) for critical services such as tele-surgery, industry automation and autonomous vehicles; ii) coexistence of critical and best-effort services; iii) ultra-reliable packet delivery considering equipment failure; iv) high scalability to support large-size networks; and v) flexibility and dynamicity to configure the network and reserve/release resources on a per flow basis. To achieve such goal, DetNet relies on the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm and Time-Sensitive Network (TSN) standards. On the one hand, SDN enables the programmability of the network. On the other hand, TSN defines layer-2 forwarding planes. Future cellular networks are expected to largely benefit from DetNet. The research on the adoption of DetNet in mobile transport networks is in its infancy and a myriad of challenging open issues lie ahead.
