Abstract: Industrial automation and control systems increasingly demand deterministic and reliable communication for real-time operations. Traditional Ethernet networks, though widespread, lack the capability to guarantee bounded latency and time synchronization required in industrial embedded systems. Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) emerges as a solution, providing deterministic networking over standard Ethernet while supporting high-bandwidth and low-latency communication. TSN incorporates mechanisms such as time-aware shaping, frame preemption, and precise time synchronization to meet real-time constraints. This paper presents a comprehensive review of TSN principles, its integration in industrial embedded systems, key protocols, implementation challenges, and potential applications. Additionally, performance evaluations of TSN-based networks are discussed, along with future research directions.
Keywords: Time Sensitive Networking, Real-Time Systems, Industrial Ethernet, Embedded Systems, Deterministic Communication, Network Synchronization, Frame Preemption, QoS.
