Abstract

The 5G technology allows telecommunication operators to provide services beyond data broadband for consumers, employing tailored use-cases for enterprise and vertical markets. As a result, there is an increasing need for a collaborative service development through a de-centralized value-chain, along with new business models and shorter time-to-market. In this paper, a novel, use-case driven framework for a modular 5G service design and delivery is proposed. The framework implements agile and as-a-service principles to provide 5G use-case customers access not only to service usage, but also to design and operation. The framework integrates with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications by mapping network-slicing procedures to the designed ecosystem lifecycle operations. The framework allows for any-technology deployment, utilizing the available foundations for domain-specific automation. A structured collaboration between a 5G operator and a use-case user allows for the customization and improvement of the targeted use-case, where 5G network assets are updated with customer’s vertical components through programmable user-stories. Laboratory testing of a 5G network-slicing for a private-telephony and merchandise-tracking service is performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for real-world applications.

5G Enabled Energy Innovation: Advanced Wireless Networks for Science (Workshop Report)

Technical Report Beckman, Pete ; Catlett, Charlie ; Ahmed, Moinuddin ; ...

Rapidly expanding, new telecommunications infrastructure based on 5G technologies will disrupt and transform how we design, build, operate, and optimize scientific infrastructure and the experiments and services enabled by that infrastructure, from continental-scale sensor networks to centralized scientific user facilities, from intelligent Internet of Things devices to supercomputers. Concurrently, 5G will introduce, or exacerbate, challenges related to protecting infrastructure and associated scientific data as well as to fully leveraging opportunities related to expanded infrastructure scale and complexity. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science operates scientific infrastructure, supporting some of the nation’s most advanced intellectual discoveries, spanning themore »« less

Secure mmWave Spectrum Sharing with Autonomous Beam Scheduling for 5G and Beyond

Conference Bhuyan, Arupjyoti ; Xi, Mingyue ; Zhang, Xiang ; ...

Spectrum Sharing (SS) has seen a renewed set of initiatives in 5G with the availability of shared and unlicensed spectrum bands that can be used by multiple cellular service providers and private cellular networks. Beam based transmission, instead of the traditional sector based transmission in conjunction with the spectrum agility of the 5G New Radio (NR) has brought new opportunities to optimized sharing of spectrum. Currently in the U.S., a centralized Spectrum Access Server (SAS) is used to co-ordinate spectrum sharing among networks sharing the same spectrum band. However, SAS becomes a focal point for security attacks and a performancemore »« less

Service-Based, Segmented, 5G Network-Based Architecture for Securing Distributed Energy Resources: Preprint

Conference Bennett, Daniel ; Hasandka, Adarsh ; Touhiduzzaman, MD ; ...

As the number of connected devices in the energy grid increase exponentially, so too are the cybersecurity risks. With the development of modern communications standards such as 5G and beyond the extent to which devices will continue to connect will continue to increase exponentially along with the inherent risks. However, 5G also includes features to help address cybersecurity concerns and therefore helping to mitigate many of these risks. This paper proposes a new service-based network architecture implementing network-slicing capabilities for connected systems and devices to improve performance, availability, security, and reliability of the grid devices and services.

Towards 5G-Enabled Operational Technology for Process Monitoring and Network Slicing

Conference Aguayo, Jared M. ; Rivera, Abel Gomez ; Tosh, Deepak K. - 2023 Resilience Week (RWS)

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are deployed to monitor physical processes in critical cyber-enabled services like power generation. However, CPS ecosystems are typically designed without robust security. While it is important to ensure optimal performance of the Operational Technology (OT) environments, security cannot be overlooked. To modernize traditional OT services, 5G technology is being integrated. 5G technology offers low latency and high availability, making it a suitable infrastructure for managing and monitoring physical processes. However, integrating 5G mechanisms into large-scale OT networks introduces new implementation and performance challenges. Therefore, this paper presents a 5G-enabled CPS architecture (5G-CPS) that describes the necessary components,more »« less

Control coordination in inverter‐based microgrids using AoI‐based 5G schedulers

Journal Article Choudhury, Biplav ; Mohammadhassani, Ardavan ; Alexander, Brady ; ... - IET Smart Grid

Abstract A coordinated set point automatic adjustment with correction enabled (C‐SPAACE) framework that uses 5G communication for real‐time control coordination between inverter‐based resources (IBR) in microgrids is proposed. Utilising slicing capability, 5G offers low‐latency communication to C‐SPAACE under normal conditions. However, given the multitude of power grid use cases, a certain 5G slice for C‐SPAACE may have access only to limited radio spectrum resources, which if not managed well, greatly undermines the communication needs of C‐SPAACE framework. Thus, optimally scheduling the available spectrum resources among IBRs in a sliced 5G network‐based C‐SPAACE framework becomes a critical problem. To address thismore »« less
