Abstract(in English) In 5th Generation mobile communication, it is considered that Mobile Front Haul (MFH) network is integrated to Layer 2 network because of network efficiency. However, in such a network, MFH traffic may be influenced by other traffic in point of delay. As MFH traffic is delay-sensitive, IEEE802.1-Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) is paid attention because it may achieve low latency communication in packet network. In this paper, we focus on IEEE802.1Qbv (Time Aware Shaper : TAS) which is one of the queueing architecture of TSN. We have proposed the autonomous TAS method called intelligent TAS (iTAS) which could solve the operational problem previously. In this paper, we implement the iTAS function to commercial layer 2 switch and evaluate low-latency efficiency.
