摘 要:The asynchronous time-sensitive networking(TSN) based on IEEE 802.1Qcr is expected to be a promising solution for the asynchronous transmissions of safety-critical flows without the support of clock *** the asynchronous traffic shaping(ATS) mechanism is adopted to meet the deadline requirements for transmissions of safety-critical flow, it is necessary to formally verify the real-time properties and corresponding network ***, it is still unclear how to build an efficient formal model to evaluate different frame selection methods during the ATS scheduling process, which originate from the dominations of priority or eligibility time. In this paper, we present a formal modeling framework to compare the impacts of different frame selection on transmission sequence under the ATS mechanism. According to the priority level(p ATS) or eligibility time(e ATS) for flows, two transmission selection methods in ATS are modeled and compared. Then, we verify the real-time properties of ATS. The result shows that the shaping-for-free property can be satisfied with the p ATS method but can not be fulfilled with the e ATS method. Besides, the timing analysis results illustrate that the e ATS method can provide more fairness than the p ATS method for the transmission of low-priority flows in TSN networks.
