Description

Industrial application service processing method and system

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and system for processing industrial application services.

Background technique

Mobile communication has been developed rapidly in more than two decades, and it has brought a huge impact on people's life style, work style, social politics, economy and other aspects. Human society has entered an era of efficient information technology, and business application requirements in all aspects have shown explosive growth. The breakthrough of 5G (fifth generation mobile communication network) technology can provide 10 times the peak rate and user experience rate of 4G, millions of connections, and ultra-low air interface delay. It is an important guarantee for the Internet of Everything; 5G is not only It will be user-centric, build a comprehensive information ecosystem, and effectively support the integrated development of vertical industries from online to offline, from consumption to production, and from platform to ecology.

On the other hand, the Industrial Internet, as a product of the deep integration of a new generation of information technology and manufacturing, is increasingly becoming a key support for the new industrial revolution. The Industrial Internet combines artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data analysis. Through the digital mapping of the physical world, the data collected by the state of industrial equipment is analyzed to optimize the production process and perform active predictive maintenance, thereby improving unit production efficiency and promoting The entire industrial system is transformed and upgraded. Industrial Internet is a technical system and industrial ecology formed by the comprehensive and deep integration of a new generation of network information technology and industrial systems, and is an information infrastructure necessary for the development of industrial intelligence.

5G network interconnection is the foundation of the industrial Internet's comprehensive depth perception, real-time transmission and exchange, rapid calculation and processing, and advanced modeling and analysis. It leads the transformation of intelligent control, operation optimization and production organization in the industrial manufacturing field. Compared with general communication services, the requirements of factory services are specific, which are specifically manifested in positioning accuracy, reliability, network stability, and time delay. At present, the 3GPP (3 ^rd Generation Partnership Project) standards organization is studying the related technologies of 5G network application in vertical industries. The research scope includes but not limited to: Non-Public Network (NPN), Time Sensitive Network (Time Sensitive Network, TSN) and 5G-Local Area Network (5G-Local Area Network, 5G-LAN).

NPN makes it possible for vertical industries to participate and customize the networking mode of mobile communication networks. The 3GPP R16 standard clarifies the independent and non-independent networking modes, and defines the corresponding identification mechanism. Independent networking will be a completely independently deployed 5G network, including base stations, core networks, and service platforms. The service-oriented network architecture and cloud-based networking will greatly reduce the threshold for 5G network deployment and improve the feasibility of self-built networks on demand. Non-independent networking will be deployed as part of the operator’s network. For example, vertical industries can connect their business platforms and access sites to the operator’s Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) (usually through network slicing technology). Implementation), the related mobility, session resource and data flow management will use the service provided by the operator.

TSN is a high-quality network real-time transmission technology with deterministic transmission delay, low transmission jitter and low packet loss rate. For TSN's global clock control and transmission scheduling functions, the 5G network is equivalent to a TSN bridge, supporting the specific Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for delay-sensitive transmission scheduling.

5G-LAN supports the construction of a Layer 2 forwarding network between a group of access terminals, and realizes the data in the terminal group through the interaction of the 5G Session Management Function (SMF) and the User Plane Function (UPF) Exchange and user plane path selection.

Network capabilities such as NPN, TSN, and 5G-LAN can be opened for use by business platforms through the Network Exposure Function (NEF).

In short, the industrial Internet has become an inevitable trend of industrial upgrading and development. Industrial enterprises, operators, equipment vendors and other industrial enterprises have carried out network application scenarios and related technology research in the industrial field. 5G networks rely on multiple access, wide coverage, and high Performance and advantageous functions such as rich network control and networking solutions are gradually becoming the preferred deployment options of industrial enterprises.

At present, the 5G network interconnection technology for the industrial Internet researched by 3GPP focuses on the wireless side and the core network side. It has not studied the future factory application support technology based on 5G network from the perspective of actual factory applications (such as mobile robots, industrial equipment motion control, etc.) .
