Study on enhancements for cyber-physical control applications in vertical domains
The present document identifies further Stage 1 potential 5G service requirements for cyber-physical control applications in vertical domains.
The present document provides specific use cases to provide clarity and to motivate the additional service requirements. Relative to the Rel-16 baseline, there are more specific requirements or additional requirements for closely-related additional functionality in order to improve the applicability of 5G systems to vertical domains.
The aspects addressed are:
- Industrial Ethernet integration, which includes time synchronization, different time domains, integration scenarios, and support for time-sensitive networking (TSN);
- Non-public networks, non-public networks as private slices, and further implications on security for non-public networks;
- Network operation and Maintenance in 5G non-public networks for cyber-physical control applications in vertical domains; Enhanced QoS monitoring, communication service and networks diagnostics; Communication service interface between application and 5G systems, e.g. information to the network for setting up communication services for cyber-physical control applications and corresponding monitoring;
- Network performance requirements for cyber-physical control applications in vertical domains;
- Positioning with focus on the vertical dimension for Industrial IoT;
- Device-to-device/ProSe communication for cyber-physical applications in vertical domains.
