AI Technical Summary
In the NR system, the physical separation of gNB-CU and gNB-DU leads to potential delivery delays, making it challenging to deliver an accurate reference time to user equipment (UE) using RRC signaling.
The gNB 200 includes a gNB-DU that performs time synchronization based on NR and TSN times, with the gNB-CU transmitting RRC messages through the gNB-DU to UE, eliminating the need for synchronization between the gNB-CU and gNB-DU and ensuring accurate time delivery.
This configuration allows for precise reference time delivery to UE, enhancing time synchronization accuracy without requiring synchronization between the gNB-CU and gNB-DU, thus supporting Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN).
