Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to using redundant frames for time-sensitive networking (TSN). A device may identify an Ethernet frame including a redundancy tag and an Internet Protocol (IP) packet; generate, based on the Ethernet frame, a first Wi-Fi frame including the redundancy tag and a sub-network access protocol (SNAP) header after an 802.11 medium access control (MAC) header and prior to the redundancy tag, the first Wi-Fi frame further including a first encapsulation of the IP packet; generate, based on the Ethernet frame, a second Wi-Fi frame including the redundancy tag and the SNAP header after the 802.11 MAC header and prior to the redundancy tag, the second Wi-Fi frame further including a second encapsulation of the IP packet; transmit the first Wi-Fi frame using a first Wi-Fi communication link; and transmit the second Wi-Fi frame using a second Wi-Fi communication link.
