For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in TR 21.905 and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905.
Sub-parameter:
port parameter or user plane node parameter included into another port parameter or user plane node parameter consisting of a collection of sub-parameters. For instance, the PTP profile port parameter is a sub-parameter of the PTP instance list port parameter.
Parameter-entry:
entry of a port parameter or user plane node parameter data structure supporting instantiation. For example:
Static filtering with port-map support entry is a parameter-entry of Static filtering with port-map support entries as specified in clause 9.6B referred by a combination of MacAddress value and VID value;
Stream filter instance is a parameter-entry of Stream filter instance table as specified in clause 9.8 referred by DS-TT port number value;
Stream gate instance is a parameter-entry of Stream gate instance table as specified in clause 9.9 referred by StreamGateInstance value;
DS-TT port neighbor discovery configuration for DS-TT ports instance is a parameter-entry of DS-TT port neighbor discovery configuration for DS-TT ports as specified in clause 9.10 referred by DS-TT port number value; or
PTP instance is a parameter-entry of PTP instance list as specified in clause 9.15 referred by PTP instance ID value.

Time Sensitive Communication and Time Synchronization Function
For time sensitive communication (TSC), a 5G system (5GS) can act as a user plane node of an external network or a 5GS can be independently used to enable TSC.
The device-side TSN translator (DS-TT) is deployed at the UE-side edge and the network-side TSN translator (NW-TT) is deployed at the network-side edge (see TS 23.501).
When integrated with IEEE TSN network, the TSN application function (TSN AF) is deployed to exchange user plane node information (i.e. TSN bridge information) with the centralized network configuration (CNC) as defined in IEEE Std 802.1Qcc-2018 [9]. The user plane node information includes port management information and user plane node management information. Port management information is related to ports located in the DS-TT and NW-TT. User plane node management information is related to the NW-TT.
In order to support user plane node information exchange between TSN AF and CNC, the DS-TT, NW-TT, and TSN AF support procedures for port management and user plane node management. Clause 5 describes details of the elementary procedures between TSN AF and DS-TT for port management. Clause 6 describes details of the elementary procedures between TSN AF and NW-TT for port management (clause 6.2) and user plane node management (clause 6.3). The operations supported by the TSN AF for port management and user plane node management are listed in TS 23.501Table K.1-1 and Table K.1-2.
A 5GS supports AF-requested time synchronization services. For this purpose, an NEF in the 5GS exposes 5GS capabilities to support the services as described in TS 23.501 and the Time Sensitive Communication and Time Synchronization Function (TSCTSF) manages the user plane node and ports (either Ethernet ports or PTP ports) in the DS-TT and NW-TT for time synchronization. Therefore, the DS-TT, NW-TT, and TSCTSF support procedures for port management and user plane node management. Clause 5 describes details of the elementary procedures between the TSCTSF and DS-TT for port management for time synchronization. Clause 6 describes details of the elementary procedures between the TSCTSF and NW-TT for port management (clause 6.2) and user plane node management (clause 6.3) for time synchronization. The operations supported by the TSCTSF for port management and user plane node management are listed in TS 23.501Table K.1-1 and Table K.1-2.
When integrated with a deterministic networking (DetNet) as defined in RFC 8655, A 5GS acts as a router in a DetNet as specified in TS 23.501. The NW-TT reports the exposure information to the TSCTSF. Clause 6 describes details of the elementary procedures between the TSCTSF and the NW-TT for port management (clause 6.2). The operations supported by the TSCTSF for port management for DetNet are listed in TS 23.501Table K.1-1.
