Prioritized Transmission Enhancement based on Time Sensitive Networks and Industrial Digital Twins

A digital twin technology is one emerging technique to mirror physical devices into the cyber world and then keep the real and digital worlds in synchronization, especially for industry and manufacturing. Regarding the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) requirements of low latency and high reliability, IEEE Time Sensitive Networks (TSN) becomes one necessary and critical wired networking technology. This paper utilizes one famous digital-twin open-source project called Eclipse Ditto to monitor the TSN operations and provides the prioritized transmission capability. Based on our initial experimental results, adequate TSN policies can keep critical traffic flows as best effort as possible even in the competitive situation.
