Architecture for Beyond 5G Services Enabling Cross-Industry Orchestration

Beyond 5G is the next generation mobile communication system expected to be used from around 2030. Services in the 2030s will be composed of multiple systems provided by not only the conventional networking industry but also a wide range of industries. However, the current mobile communication system architecture is designed with a focus on networking performance and not oriented to accommodate and optimize potential systems including service management and applications, though total resource optimizations and service level performance enhancement among the systems are required. In this paper, a new concept of the Beyond 5G cross-industry service platform(B5G-XISP) is presented on which multiple systems from different industries are appropriately organized and optimized for service providers. Then, an architecture of the B5G-XISP is proposed based on requirements revealed from issues of current mobile communication systems. The proposed architecture is compared with other architectures along with use cases of an assumed future supply chain business.
