This national project (TSI-063000-2021-28) is titled "AI-assisted beyond 5G-6G arCHitectuRe with
deterministic netwOrking for iNdustrial communicatiOnS (6G-CHRONOS)". It started in January 2022 and its
duration is 3 years.
Description
The fourth industrial revolution will apply digital transformation to industrial production via
enterprise-wide networks to capture data from and to exchange data between machines, devices and people.
By using the Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber physical systems, conventional production will be
transformed into a network of smart and interconnected devices.
Fifth-generation wireless communications (5G) and time sensitive networking (TSN) technologies can play
a key role in future industrial communications. TSN and 5G are wired and wireless technologies with
strong potential for the large real-time network needed for Industry 4.0 applications. However, to
achieve this vision two main challenges lie ahead. First, the 5G network should provide deterministic,
reliable, high-bandwidth, low-latency communication. Second, a smooth integration between TSN and 5G is
required.
For this purpose, the 6G-CHRONOS project will design a B5G/6G network service framework that will
incorporate the paradigm of Deterministic Networking as a design principle on the 5G network slicing
concept to enable the low and deterministic latency required for scenarios of connected robotics and
autonomous systems in Industry 4.0. Additionally, the 6G-CHRONOS project will design state-of-the art
solutions to carry out the interoperation of the B5G/6G network service framework and TSN. Moreover, the
6G-CHRONOS project will implement an experimental testbed as a proof-of-concept, which will deploy a 5G
network and a synchronous Time Sensitive Network in order to evaluate the performance of some relevant
solutions proposed in the project.
The results of the 6G-CHRONOS project are expected to contribute to the applicability of 5G and 6G
networks to the industrial domain by providing solutions that enable industry-grade QoS with very low
and deterministic end-to-end latencies (<1 ms), high data rates, and seamless integration of 5G with TSN
networks for industrial applications.
This project started on 2022 and its duration is 3 years (plus an extension of 6 months).
Participating companies and objectives
Architecture of integrated 5G/6G-TSN network
The proposed architecture for the integrated 5G/6G-TSN network is shown in the figure below. This
diagram shows the integrated 5G/6G-TSN network, which connects an industrial production line to an Edge
Cloud. Specifically, the 5G network is composed of a 5G-Core formed by the Open5GS software and the 5G
RAN formed by a commercial 5G base station (SDR + vBBU). The TSN network is formed in the Edge Cloud by
a TSN switch (Safran's Z16) that implements the TAS scheduler (IEEE 802.1Qbv). This switch is
synchronised to a time and frequency reference server (Secure Sync from Safran), and it is also
connected on the network-side to a TSN translator (NW-TT). The TSN network on the device side
(production line) is also formed by the device side TSN translator (DS-TT) and another TSN switch for
TAS scheduling. TSN translators, NW-TT and DS-TT, guarantee that the time reference signal from the TSN
Grand Master reach the TSN switch at the production. The TSN switches are connected to the industrial
controllers or the sensors/actuators depending on their location, i.e., whether they are in the Edge
Cloud or on the production lines, respectively.
6G-CHRONOS prototype
TSN Network
TSN switch. The TSN switches employed in the 6G-CHRONOS project are Safran's Z16. The hardware
of the Z16-TSN Switch comprises eight ports and two quad ports, with Ethernet capabilities reaching 1
Gigabit over 1000 Base-X (see figure below). The operating system within the switch is a customized
embedded
Linux. This operating system incorporates Time-Sensitive Networking features, allowing the switch
utilizes Time-Aware Shaper (TAS) defined in the IEEE 802.1Qbv standard, Virtual LANs (VLAN), and Frame
Replication and Elimination for Reliability (FRER) as defined in the IEEE 802.1CB standard. These
functionalities are critical for systems that require stringent timing and synchronization for data
transfer, such as in industrial automation or real -time analytics. The switch also emphasizes precision
timing. It employs Precision Time Protocol (PTP) by default and offers support for Grandmaster (GM)
modes in conjunction with PTP4L (Precision Time Protocol for Linux). Moreover, it extends support for
synchronization from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) using Pulse Per Second (PPS) signals at
10MHz.
5G/6G Network
- The 6G-CHRONOS project has deployed a private 5G/6G network, that has been managed by the company
Neutroon Technologies. The private 5G/6G network comprises the following equipment.
Dell 1445 Server (5G Core). The core of the 5G network used in the testbed is the open-source
software Open5GS [9]. Open5GS is an implementation of the 5G core network (5GC), and access network
(5G-AN) based on the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications. It provides a
complete implementation of the 5G core network architecture, including the key network functions
required to implement a 5G standalone (SA) or non-standalone (NSA) network. In our case, Open5GS is
used to implement the 3GPP-defined core network functions for 5G networks. This includes key functions
such as Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), Session Management Function (SMF), User Plane
Function (UPF), Policy Control Function (PCF), among others.
5G Base Station (Amarisoft). The 5G network is composed of a PC with two Amarisoft PCIe SDR
boards and an AMARI NW 600 license. This license includes the software for the base station (4G eNB or
5G gNB), the core network (both 4G EPC and 5GC), an IMS server and an eMBMS server. The software allows
the developer to deploy LTE, LTE-M, NB-IoT and 5G (both Non Stand-Alone (NSA) and Stand-Alone (SA)).
Next figure shows the base station used in the testbed.
Antennas and SDR. The base station uses the SDR50MHz board for processing the radio signals in
software. The employed SDR board is shown below.
Specifically, this board works at a frequency of 50 MHz, has 4 female SMA sockets (TX1, TX2, RX1, RX2 as
shown in the figure below) coupled to an AC source and 1 female SMA socket for the GPS antenna with a
3.3V DC
power supply. The board features a PCle gen2 connection with a 12V power supply, the main
characteristics of which are shown in the table below.
| Features | Values |
|---|---|
| RF power output | < 10 dBm |
| Max RF input power | ~ -10 dBm RMS (+2dBm peak) |
| ADC/DAC sample rate | max. 61.44 MS/s |
| ADC/DAC resolution | 12 bits |
| Frequency accuracy | 2 ppm |
-
The range for transmit gain is from 0 to 89.75 dB while the receive range depends on the power used
(from 70-4000 Hz gain from 3 to 71 dB and from 4001 to 6000 MHz a gain of 0 to 62 dB).
-
The antennas used by the station are 700-6000MHz 5G Rubber Duck Antenna SMA Male Connector specifically
model 5A2-0264-S01SP4-050 25. The antenna radiates in a frequency range of 700-6000 MHz with a gain of
5dBi, with a VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) ≤ 2.0, with a maximum input power of 20 W and an input
impedance of 50º. The antenna has a vertical polarisation, omnidirectional radiation, and a length of
163 mm. As can be seen in next figure (left) the connector type is SMA male.
. The Quectel RM500Q-AE modem (one of the few 5G modems officially
supported by Amarisoft) is used as UE in our testbed, in addition to the RM500Q-GL that was already
available. These boards support 4G, 5G NSA and 5G SA in a large variety of bands. This board has a
maximum downstream speed of 2.5 Gbps and a maximum upstream speed of 900 Mbps. Next figure shows the
evaluation board which contains the RM500Q-AE chip, which allows us to connect it through USB to a
computer.
The Quectel card is connected to the Intel NUC 10 NUC10i7FNKN.
Physical Deployment of Integrated 5G/6G-TSN Network Testbed
Next figure shows the overall physical deployment of the 6G-CHRONOS testbed with all the equipment
described above, see the description table below.
| Number | Devices |
|---|---|
| 1 | Server 1 (Industrial Controller) |
| 2 | Master TSN Switch (Safran's Z16 switch) |

Combining 5G New Radio, Wi-Fi, and LiFi for Industry 4.0: Performance Evaluation

Fifth-generation mobile networks (5G) are designed to support enhanced Mobile Broadband, Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications, and massive Machine-Type Communications. To meet these diverse needs, 5G uses technologies like network softwarization, network slicing, and artificial intelligence. Multi-connectivity is crucial for boosting mobile device performance by using different Wireless Access Technologies (WATs) simultaneously, enhancing throughput, reducing latency, and improving reliability. This paper presents a multi-connectivity testbed from the 5G-CLARITY project for performance evaluation. MultiPath TCP (MPTCP) was employed to enable mobile devices to send data through various WATs simultaneously. A new MPTCP scheduler was developed, allowing operators to better control traffic distribution across different technologies and maximize aggregated throughput. Our proposal mitigates the impact of limitations on one path affecting others, avoiding the Head-of-Line blocking problem. Performance was tested with real equipment using 5GNR, Wi-Fi, and LiFi —complementary WATs in the 5G-CLARITY project—in both static and dynamic scenarios. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheduler can manage the traffic distribution across different WATs and achieve the combined capacities of these technologies, approximately 1.4 Gbps in our tests, outperforming the other MPTCP schedulers. Recovery times after interruptions, such as coverage loss in one technology, were also measured, with values ranging from 400 to 500 ms.

This article proposes a system based on a long-distance communications system with low economic and energy costs that allows connectivity to be carried out independently from the existing cellular coverage in the area. In addition, it describes the design, development, implementation and analysis of an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture based on Long-Range Wide-Area Network (LoRaWAN). Moreover, the system has been deployed as a prototype, and the behavior and scope of the system have been analyzed in various real environments: urban, rural and natural. The results obtained from the analysis show that the system is suitable for working in areas without coverage such as mountains.

A LoRaWAN Network Architecture with MQTT2MULTICAST
Electronics, 11 (6), 2022, DOI: 10.3390/electronics11060872. (IF=2.9, Q2)
"A LoRaWAN Network Architecture with MQTT2MULTICAST", Jorge Navarro-Ortiz, Natalia Chinchilla-Romero, Felix Delgado-Ferro, Juan Jose Ramos-Munoz, Electronics, 11 (6), 2022. DOI: 10.3390/electronics11060872

In this work, an architecture for IoT networks oriented towards environmental sustainability is presented. Due to the suitability of its characteristics in terms of coverage, power and support of a large number of devices, an enhanced LoRaWAN network has been chosen as the basis for this proposal. The architecture is completed with the virtualization of the different LoRaWAN network entities and the usage of a software-defined network for their interconnection. The publication and subscription to environmental data is carried out by using the MQTT protocol. MQTT has been optimized thanks to the use of the SDN network and the use of edge computing resources, which allows multicasting of published data. Thanks to our developed MQTT2MULTICAST protocol, latency is improved by approx. 90% and the traffic load within the SDN network is reduced by 55%. An scalability analysis shows that this solution is able to support tens of thousands of LoRaWAN gateways. The proposed architecture has been implemented using commercial equipment as a proof of concept.

ABSTRACT = {In this work, an architecture for IoT networks oriented towards environmental sustainability is presented. Due to the suitability of its characteristics in terms of coverage, power and support of a large number of devices, an enhanced LoRaWAN network has been chosen as the basis for this proposal. The architecture is completed with the virtualization of the different LoRaWAN network entities and the usage of a software-defined network for their interconnection. The publication and subscription to environmental data is carried out by using the MQTT protocol. MQTT has been optimized thanks to the use of the SDN network and the use of edge computing resources, which allows multicasting of published data. Thanks to our developed MQTT2MULTICAST protocol, latency is improved by approx. 90% and the traffic load within the SDN network is reduced by 55%. An scalability analysis shows that this solution is able to support tens of thousands of LoRaWAN gateways. The proposed architecture has been implemented using commercial equipment as a proof of concept.},

Combining 5G New Radio, Wi-Fi, and LiFi for Industry 4.0: Performance EvaluationSensors, 24 (18), 2024, DOI: 10.3390/s24186022. (IF=3.4, Q2)
"Combining 5G New Radio, Wi-Fi, and LiFi for Industry 4.0: Performance Evaluation", Jorge Navarro-Ortiz, Juan J. Ramos-Munoz, Felix Delgado-Ferro, Ferran Canellas, Daniel Camps-Mur, Amin Emami, Hamid Falaki, Sensors, 24 (18), 2024. DOI: 10.3390/s24186022close
Fifth-generation mobile networks (5G) are designed to support enhanced Mobile Broadband, Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications, and massive Machine-Type Communications. To meet these diverse needs, 5G uses technologies like network softwarization, network slicing, and artificial intelligence. Multi-connectivity is crucial for boosting mobile device performance by using different Wireless Access Technologies (WATs) simultaneously, enhancing throughput, reducing latency, and improving reliability. This paper presents a multi-connectivity testbed from the 5G-CLARITY project for performance evaluation. MultiPath TCP (MPTCP) was employed to enable mobile devices to send data through various WATs simultaneously. A new MPTCP scheduler was developed, allowing operators to better control traffic distribution across different technologies and maximize aggregated throughput. Our proposal mitigates the impact of limitations on one path affecting others, avoiding the Head-of-Line blocking problem. Performance was tested with real equipment using 5GNR, Wi-Fi, and LiFi —complementary WATs in the 5G-CLARITY project—in both static and dynamic scenarios. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheduler can manage the traffic distribution across different WATs and achieve the combined capacities of these technologies, approximately 1.4 Gbps in our tests, outperforming the other MPTCP schedulers. Recovery times after interruptions, such as coverage loss in one technology, were also measured, with values ranging from 400 to 500 ms.close

This article proposes a system based on a long-distance communications system with low economic and energy costs that allows connectivity to be carried out independently from the existing cellular coverage in the area. In addition, it describes the design, development, implementation and analysis of an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture based on Long-Range Wide-Area Network (LoRaWAN). Moreover, the system has been deployed as a prototype, and the behavior and scope of the system have been analyzed in various real environments: urban, rural and natural. The results obtained from the analysis show that the system is suitable for working in areas without coverage such as mountains.close

A LoRaWAN Network Architecture with MQTT2MULTICASTElectronics, 11 (6), 2022, DOI: 10.3390/electronics11060872. (IF=2.9, Q2)

In this work, an architecture for IoT networks oriented towards environmental sustainability is presented. Due to the suitability of its characteristics in terms of coverage, power and support of a large number of devices, an enhanced LoRaWAN network has been chosen as the basis for this proposal. The architecture is completed with the virtualization of the different LoRaWAN network entities and the usage of a software-defined network for their interconnection. The publication and subscription to environmental data is carried out by using the MQTT protocol. MQTT has been optimized thanks to the use of the SDN network and the use of edge computing resources, which allows multicasting of published data. Thanks to our developed MQTT2MULTICAST protocol, latency is improved by approx. 90% and the traffic load within the SDN network is reduced by 55%. An scalability analysis shows that this solution is able to support tens of thousands of LoRaWAN gateways. The proposed architecture has been implemented using commercial equipment as a proof of concept.close
