Study on application layer support for Factories of the Future in 5G network
The present document is a technical report which identifies the application architecture aspects to support Factories of the Future in 5G network, and corresponding architectural solutions. The study includes identifying architecture requirements that are necessary to ensure efficient use and deployment of application layer support for Factories of the Future in 5G network.
The study takes into consideration the existing work including stage 1 requirements in 3GPP TS 22.261 [2] and 3GPP TS 22.104 [3], and provides recommendation for normative work.
