Abstract

Offering seamless connectivity for Next-Generation Internet (NGI) services has become a widespread concern to achieve global sustainability goals. In this position paper, we focus on the design of a smart connectivity platform that can extend its capabilities beyond the boundaries of what today’s 5G architecture can support. The proposed platform encompasses and integrates a wide range of technologies, spanning from Non-Terrestrial Networks, NTNs (GEO/LEO satellites, and airborne) to terrestrial cellular 5G and long-range low-power Internet of Things (IoT) networks. We enhance 5G technology with novel network architectures and network intelligence to meet coverage and capacity requirements; and by strengthening infrastructure management and control components with autonomous capabilities to decouple operational costs from growth in network traffic, cloud computing, and IoT. Finally, we discuss the technical, commercial and market challenges that need to be overcome before the commercial deployment of the designed platform becomes reality.

面向泛在自动化创新服务的5G智能连接平台

为下一代互联网(NGI)服务提供无缝连接已成为实现全球可持续发展目标的广泛关注。在这份意见书中，我们专注于智能连接平台的设计，该平台可以将其功能扩展到当今5G架构所能支持的范围之外。拟议的平台包含并集成了广泛的技术，从非地面网络、ntn (GEO/LEO卫星和机载)到地面蜂窝5G和远程低功耗物联网(IoT)网络。我们以新颖的网络架构和网络智能增强5G技术，以满足覆盖和容量需求;通过加强具有自主能力的基础设施管理和控制组件，将运营成本与网络流量、云计算和物联网的增长脱钩。最后，我们讨论了在设计平台的商业部署成为现实之前需要克服的技术、商业和市场挑战。
