As efforts to standardize ISAC intensify, this article embarks on an exploration of the integration of multiple access schemes with ISAC, with a special focus on non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). Various dimensions of ISAC-NOMA are covered, comprehensively spanning deployment scenarios, integration challenges, and synergistic opportunities, alongside other wireless communication technologies. In particular, the article delves into intricate aspects such as interference management, user-target clustering, power allocation (PA), beamforming, and cooperative communication schemes. To provide further clarity to our discussions, we introduce two case studies supported by simulation findings: joint PA and user-target clustering, and simultaneous beam codebook design for sensing and communication.

Conventional cellular technologies such as 4G or 5G, with significant network congestion and long-distance data travel, introduce considerable delays. As industries operate heavy machinery across various domains, the situation becomes even more critical when dealing with smart industrial systems such as assembly lines, collaborative robots, and industrial transportation networks, which constantly generate enormous amounts of data to make optimal decisions. Therefore, adopting beyond 5G or 6G technology becomes a significant factor in Industry 5.0 applications. With this motivation, we provide a concise overview of the significance of 6G wireless communications and their impact on the Industry 5.0 revolution, and discuss its implications. Additionally, we discuss a framework for 6G-based edge computing for processing Industry 5.0 applications at the edge of the network.

To achieve this, the use of relaying as an energy-efficient mechanism to assist mobile networks in serving the ubiquity and scale of IoT is being studied. While various relaying architectures and technologies have emerged in research and standardization, it is not yet clear which is best suited for IoT applications. In this article, we examine fundamental relay architectures and evaluate the suitability of user equipment (UE)-based relaying solutions and network-based relaying solutions for IoT applications. We analyze the relaying solutions in terms of radio aspects, such as connection establishment, protocol architecture, and resource allocation. Our findings suggest that even though the standardized layer-2-network-based relaying solution (e.g., integrated access and backhaul networks) may be better suited to handle large numbers of low-complexity, low energy-consuming devices with better interference management, any optimizations aimed at supporting IoT traffic will directly affect existing networks, such as the introduction of new control plane signaling over the Uu interface. Conversely, the standardized layer-3-UE-based relaying solution can be optimized for handling massive IoT relaying with minimal impact on existing networks, since the optimizations can be made on the PC-5 interface with a subdued effect on the Uu interface.","PeriodicalId":505795,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Standards Magazine","volume":"36 2","pages":"28-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141234881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the advantages of network slicing come at the price of higher complexity in operating and managing telecom networks. To cope with such complexity, the ETSI zero-touch network and service management (ZSM) framework is designed as a next-generation management system that aims to ideally have all operational processes and tasks executed automatically. ETSI has defined a procedure to deploy the network-slice-as-a-service (NSaaS) scenario using the ZSM reference architecture. Two important use-cases for a more ambitious NSaaS model are MANO-as-a-service (MANOaaS) and heterogeneous MANO-as-a-service (H-MANOaaS), where multiple instances of the same (MANOaaS) or different (H-MANOaaS) MANO frameworks are deployed over the same physical substrate. We propose a conceptual model for supporting the never-addressed H-MANOaaS use-case. We also offer a blueprint to integrate the MANOaaS and H-MANOaaS use-cases into the ZSM procedures and mechanisms. We then validate the H-MANOaaS deployment use-case with a proof-of-concept where our proposed solution is instantiated using a real-world slice-as-a-service platform and some relevant implementations of different MANO frameworks.","PeriodicalId":505795,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Standards Magazine","volume":"6 6","pages":"4-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141230417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To fulfill these services, 6G demands a robust communication framework with minimal latency. While the current fifth-generation (5G) ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) as defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), provides the requisite reliability (99.99 percent) and latency (< 1ms) to support existing applications, many foundational aspects of URLLC remain uncertain. Therefore, upcoming networks necessitate the integration of the next-generation URLLC, known as xURLLC, to attain the pinnacle of reliability and latency. In this article, we present an overview of both current 5G URLLC technologies and those anticipated for 6G. We succinctly delineate the essential URLLC requirements, and scrutinize the prevailing limitations in URLLC design. Subsequently, we spotlight xURLLC and the groundbreaking physical-layer techniques poised to define 6G URLLC. Additionally, we assess the opportunities and challenges presented by each key xURLLC driver, engaging in a comprehensive discussion of the efficacy of each proposed solution. Finally, we put forth future research directions for the next generation of URLLC.","PeriodicalId":505795,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Standards Magazine","volume":"21 3","pages":"20-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141235403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
