Learning goals

Students will learn to work with a networking standard as well as scientific literature about it. I.e., understand the contents and their context, critically reflect on it (with the help of a scientific literature research), and will learn to present their findings in a concise fashion.

Topic: Components of the Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standard

  • see the IEEE 802.1 Working Group’s webpage
  • Understand (parts of) a component of the standard from a given research paper and a literature research, be able to present it. Literature may
    • address its modeling, evaluation, performance benchmarking, etc.
    • be technical papers about practical implementation are appreciated, too, yet not as stand alone subject of the research and neither as the only related work in the seminar
    • (patents or overview articles are not of interest either)
  • Seminar Papers (starting point, content to be presented to the group):
    • Worst-Case Latency Analysis for IEEE 802.1Qbv Time Sensitive Networks Using Network Calculus link
    • Modelling in network calculus a TSN architecture mixing Time-Triggered, Credit Based Shaper and Best-Effort queues link
    • Self-Configuration of IEEE 802.1 TSN Networks link
    • Ensuring Reliable and Predictable Behavior of IEEE 802.1CB Frame Replication and Elimination link
    • IEEE 802.1AS Time Synchronization in a switched Ethernet based In-Car Network link
    • Toward an Optimized Multi-Cyclic Queuing and Forwarding in Time-Sensitive Networking With Time Injection link
    • On the Effect of TSN Forwarding Mechanisms on Best-Effort Traffic link

Organization

Workflow

  • get one of the place via the faculty’s central allocation system, you will then be enrolled in this seminar’s Moodle course
  • get a seminar topic to work on (understand, find and judge related work)
  • kick-off meeting
  • first common meetings where each participant gives a very brief overview over the assigned topic (without any aids)
    • two weeks after kickoff: M.Sc. students
    • three weeks after kickoff: B.Sc. students
  • individual meetings with supervisor during the semester (at least one of which will be mandatory)
  • deliverables at the end of the lecture period: survey (text document) and presentation (slides and / or poster)
  • conference day (i.e., seminar presentation day, second common meeting) in the lecture-free period
