5G for Automation in Industry (White Paper)
March 29, 2019
This white paper examines how the 3GPP-defined 5G architecture will impact industry, in particular process and discrete manufacturing. It describes the most relevant use cases, and the corresponding 5G functions and service requirements. The functionality described in this white paper is proposed for implementation in 3GPP Rel-16 specifications, currently scheduled for completion in 2020.
5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation: Designing 5G for Industrial Use
November 22, 2018
Within this flyer the 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5G-ACIA) describes briefly its mission to serve as the central, global forum for addressing, discussing, and evaluating technical, regulatory and business aspects of 5G relevant to industry.
5G for Connected Industries and Automation (White Paper -Second Edition)
February 28, 2019
In this second edition of our 5G-ACIA White Paper, we provide an overview of 5G’s basic potential for connected industries, in particular the manufacturing and process industries, and outline relevant use cases and requirements.
Selected Testing and Validation Considerations for Industrial Communication with 5G Technologies (White Paper)
March 29, 2019
The deployment of 5G technologies for industrial automation will bring new challenges for all parties. This document aims to clarify the role and the focus of 5G-ACIA with regard to testing and validation of 5G industrial applications. The following points will be addressed:
5G Non-Public Networks for Industrial Scenarios (White Paper)
This paper describes four industrial (IIoT) deployment scenarios for 3GPP-defined 5G non-public networks. The paper also considers key aspects, in particular service attributes that can help to highlight the differences between these scenarios. In contrast to a network that offers mobile network services to the general public, a 5G non-public network (NPN, also sometimes called a private network) provides 5G network services to a clearly defined user organisation or group of organisations.
