部署5G网络切片，支持工业互联网，塑造下一代智能工厂
Orchestrating 5G Network Slices to Support Industrial Internet and to Shape Next-Generation Smart Factories
摘要：
工业4.0旨在通过采用具有更高连接性、传感和驱动能力的智能工业设备来动摇当前的制造业格局。通过探索实时生产信息和先进的远程控制功能，制造企业的服务化为工业运营商和客户提供了新的增值服务。另一方面，工业网络将面临转型过程，以支持下一代制造流程所期望的灵活性，并实现工厂间的合作。在这种情况下，5G系统可以通过扩展网络切片范式来支持工业4.0的关键作用，以专门支持异构域上的工业用例的要求。我们提出了一种新的基于5G的网络切片框架，旨在适应工业4.0的要求。为了将不同的工业站点互连到极端边缘，可以按需实例化不同的逻辑资源切片，以提供所需的端到端连接和处理功能。我们在三个现实的用例中验证了我们提出的框架，这些用例使我们能够突出工业利益相关者的预期利益。
英文摘要：
Industry 4.0 aims at shaking the current manufacturing landscape by leveraging the adoption of smart industrial equipment with increased connectivity, sensing, and actuation capabilities. By exploring access to real-time production information and advanced remote control features, servitization of manufacturing firms promises novel added value services for industrial operators and customers. On the other hand, industrial networks would face a transformation process in order to support the flexibility expected by the next-generation manufacturing processes and enable inter-factory cooperation. In this scenario, the 5G systems can play a key role in enabling Industry 4.0 by extending the network slicing paradigm to specifically support the requirements of industrial use cases over heterogeneous domains. We present a novel 5G-based network slicing framework which aims at accommodating the requirements of Industry 4.0. To interconnect different industrial sites up to the extreme edge, different slices of logical resources can be instantiated on-demand to provide the required end-to-end connectivity and processing features. We validate our proposed framework in three realistic use cases which enabled us highlight the envisioned benefits for industrial stakeholders.
