5g Transition Options And Iot Support Towards Evolving Business Models And Intermediaries

Abstract

5G provides capabilities that modern industrial applications need. Robotics has a special importance due to its URLLC requirements. 3GPP has specified new 5G radio access technology, 5G enhancements of 4G (fourth generation) networks, and new 5G core networks. Specifically, it has defined a new 5G Core network (5GC) and a new radio access technology called 5G “New Radio” (NR). The new 5GC architecture has several new capabilities built inherently into it as native capabilities: multi-Gbps support, ultra-low latency, Network Slicing, Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS), and virtualization. This paper provides 5G transition options and iot support towards evolving business models and intermediaries.
