摘要翻译：
超可靠低时延通信(URLLC)是5G及以后无线系统中的一个新兴特性，旨在支持关键任务工业应用对时延和可靠性的严格要求。在许多潜在的应用中，多个传感器/执行器协作并要求具有严格和有界抖动的等时工作，例如\si{1}{\微秒}。为此，网络时间同步对于控制器和传感器/执行器之间的实时同步通信至关重要。本文通过分析工厂自动化和智能电网中的不同应用，揭示了设备级时间同步的需求，以及将高粒度时间信息扩展到设备中所面临的挑战。此外，我们还指出了5G无线接口中潜在的空中同步机制，并讨论了为满足时间敏感的URLLC应用的抖动约束所需的增强。

英文摘要：
  Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) is an emerging feature in 5G and beyond wireless systems, which is introduced to support stringent latency and reliability requirements of mission-critical industrial applications. In many potential applications, multiple sensors/actuators collaborate and require isochronous operation with strict and bounded jitter, e.g., \SI{1}{\micro\second}. To this end, network time synchronization becomes crucial for real-time and isochronous communication between a controller and the sensors/actuators. In this paper, we look at different applications in factory automation and smart grids to reveal the requirements of device-level time synchronization and the challenges in extending the high-granularity timing information to the devices. Also, we identify the potential over-the-air synchronization mechanisms in 5G radio interface, and discuss the needed enhancements to meet the jitter constraints of time-sensitive URLLC applications.
