Information and Communication Management in the 5G Era for Connecting Cyberspace and Physical World

摘要

As the 5th Generation Mobile Communication System (5G) era approaches, various efforts are underway to realize cyber-physical systems (CPS) in which real world people/things and the cyber world come together.Fujitsu Laboratories conducts Ramp;D on key technologies to facilitate the social implementation of diverse CPS services and enable experiences never before possible.The “field area management platform” makes possible control of various devices in the real world without having to develop separate technology for each device.The “real-world service platform” enables the efficient implementation, in line with real world states, of the combining and recombining of services that handle large amounts of data by mapping the real world as “virtual objects” into cyberspace.The “environmentally adaptive virtual networking technology” makes possible the construction and control of secure network environments based on the attributes of users and their purposes.This paper describes the two above-mentioned platform technologies, which are important for connecting the cyber and the physical worlds, and the networking technology to connect the real world and services in a timely and secure manner.
