연구 분야: Networking

Manufacturing factory is an important scenario of vertical industries served by 5G network and is generally categorized as outside and inside the factory building. In this paper, we first analyzed the network requirements of two scenarios, and introduced key 5G network technologies that can fit in. Then we proposed an Out-Factory 5G edge network architecture based on Edge Computing and 5G LAN technologies, an In-Factory 5G edge network architecture with high reliability, low latency and determinacy based on Edge Computing, URLLC and TSN technologies and an integrated solution for factory manufacturing to meet the requirements of both scenarios. Finally, we introduced the practical case of remote control of gantry crane based on 5G Edge Computing in reality. We found that the end-to-end control delay of the gantry crane was effectively reduced, the production efficiency was improved, and the safety of the manufacturing was also improved with less labor cost.
