  abstract     = {{Modeling 5G Radio Access Networks (RANs) at scale requires rapid (re-)configuration of 5G base stations (BSs), e.g., based on open-source software (OSS) stacks, which in general is a challenging task in scenarios with highly dynamic environments and networking demands. Existing solutions are often insufficient to provide an automated configuration functionality based on basic 5G cell parameters. Manual adjustments in such scenarios require specialized knowledge usually not present outside of traditional network providers and established research groups. They are often prone to errors, misconfigurations, and typically do not meet the need for dynamic and timely updates to the networking configuration. In this paper, we present 5GAutoConf, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first open source automatic 5G BS configuration tool that uses basic input parameters. 5GAutoConf implements an automatic datadriven process that rapidly creates configurations for OSS 5G RAN stacks, enabling fast 5G BS adaptation for experimental purposes. Further, 5GAutoConf integrates both 5G standardcompliant and generated lookup tables (LUTs) for use caseoriented optimization. Since the derivation process of waveform parameters is the most important part of the tool, it is described in detail.}},

  abstract     = {{The real and effective ground of all new concepts dedicated to the current advanced factories, as well as to the future digital ones, is close cooperativity of scattered applications in highly heterogeneous systems. Communication is the key enabling component, and all new approaches are inspired in practice to the demanding characteristics of industrial networks. These kinds of computer networks, together with new technologies derived from distant application fields, are the main technological means to accelerate the fast evolution of modern factory systems. Due to various communication requirements coming from the plurality of structures, components and application contexts, communication subsystems must be increasingly heterogeneous. Let us say clearly: this evolution cannot be stopped at this stage, no special universal solution is possible, and thinking about monogamous networking is a kind of dreamland. This paper is an analysis of the state of the art in the matter of heterogeneous networking in industry. It deeply investigates both wired and wireless technologies from the point of view of technological aspects and relevant key performance indicators, such as those related to dependability, and it contains a prospective estimation of future trends.}},

  abstract     = {{In industriellen Szenarien wächst seit Längerem der Bedarf an drahtloser und zuverlässiger Kommunikation. Es gibt hierzu einige aus der IT-Welt adaptierte Standards, welche in vielen Anwendungen im industriellen Umfeld nicht ausreichen. Daher wurde bei der Spezifikation des neuen 5G-Standards explizit die Nutzung im industriellen Umfeld mit berücksichtigt. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Vorteilen der Multi-Connectivity (MC), welche sich durch die Architektur des neuen 5G-NR Standards in der Automatisierungstechnik ergeben können. Hierzu wurden im ersten Schritt Funkkanalmessungen in einer industrienahen Umgebung – der SmartFactoryOWL – durchgeführt, und im weiteren Verlauf die MC in einen Kommunikationsstack integriert und die Zuverlässigkeit (Reliability) (REL) bei verschiedenen MCKonfigurationen ermittelt. Im praktischen Aufbau konnte eine erhöhte REL der drahtlosen Kommunikation im industriellen Kontext unter Einsatz der MC nachgewiesen werden.}},
