The definition of the sixth generation mobile communication is in the full swing. Mobile communication aims for the convergence of physical, human and digital world.

Research project 6G NeXt is considering two demanding use cases, holographic communications and drones anti-collision system, which set heterogeneous requirements on the communication as well as the computing infrastructure. In both use cases, the clients are widely spread in the network and are cooperatively interacting with each other. Especially for holographic communication, also high processing power is required. This makes a high-speed distributed backbone computing infrastructure, which realises the concept of split-computing, inevitable. Furthermore, tight integration between processing facilities and wireless network is required in order to provide adequate quality of service to the users. This paper illustrates the use case scenarios and their requirements. Afterwards, an appropriate solution approach to realise those is elaborated. Here, the novel technological approaches are discussed based on the developed overall communication and computing architecture.

Die Bedeutung von automatisierten und autonomem Fahren nimmt auf der Straße und

Schiene sowie in der Produktion (AGV) und Logistik (Indoor und Outdoor) kontinuierlich zu.[G.] Ein Technologiebaustein dafür ist eine anforderungsgerechte Vernetzung der Fahrzeuge. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) und Mobilfunk sind je nach Anwendungsfeld mögliche Kandidaten für diese Vernetzung. Die Mobilfunkgeneration 5G verspricht neue Funktionen wie u.a. Network Slicing, Uplink orientierte Mobilfunknetze, Layer 2/3 Transperency und Ultra Low Latency Communication (URLLC).[ RP18] In diesem Beitrag werden 5G Messungen auf einem Testfeld mit State of the Art Hardw- und Software durchgeführt. Anhand der Messergebnisse im Beitrag ist zu sehen, dass 5G Campusnetzte bereit sind die im Projekt erhobenen Anforderungen unter bestimmten Bedingungen zu erfüllen, Bis das volle Potential von 5G ausgeschöpft werden kann müssen die Hersteller jedoch weitere Funktionalitäten in ihre 5G Hardware implementieren.

5G networks are currently adapted more and more in industrial applications due to their high-speed data transfer, low latency, and increased capacity. To address growing demands and increase cost-effectiveness, the idea of shared 5G campus networks has emerged, akin to co-working spaces known from office environments. This is especially beneficial for small and medium enterprises in industrial parks looking to incorporate 5G technology into their automation needs. In order to ensure the network can meet the diverse application requirements of all companies involved, a simulation platform called Virtual Automation Network Simulation (VANSIM) is under development. VANSIM aims to allow companies to validate and test the feasibility and compatibility of shared 5G networks pre- and post-installation from the perspective of the automation applications. This paper focuses on validating this simulation platform for passive environmental influences by comparing its results to real-world measurements.
