Abstract:
Non-Public Networks (NPN), or Private Networks, are gaining traction in commercial deployments as they provide benefits to many verticals. The technical base of the NPN is being developed in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), and the currently available models can already be deployed providing ecosystem multiple options to set up the services basing on various mobile communication generations. This paper discusses the current state of the art of the standardized NPN solutions focusing on Fifth Generation of mobile communications (5G), and evaluates their applicability to industrial applications. This paper also discusses the ecosystem needs and respective gaps in the models considering selected industrial use cases. Through available references on experiences and deployment scenarios, this paper evaluates some of the key aspects that can impact NPN model selection related to Industrial IoT scenarios, and proposes ways to assess NPN techno-economic aspects.
