Abstract

The future of the manufacturing industry highly depends on digital systems that transform existing production and monitoring systems into autonomous systems fulfilling stringent requirements in terms of availability, reliability, security, low latency, and positioning with high accuracy. In order to meet such requirements, private 5G networks are considered as a key enabling technology. In this article, we introduce the 5G-CLARITY system that integrates 5GNR, WiFi, and LiFi access networks, and develops novel management enablers to operate 5G-Advanced private networks. We describe three core features of 5G-CLARITY, including a multi-connectivity framework, a high-precision positioning server, and a management system to orchestrate private network slices. These features are evaluated by means of packet-level simulations and an experimental testbed demonstrating the ability of 5G-CLARITY to police access network traffic, to achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy, and to provision private network slices in less than one minute.
