As the next generation of mobile communication technology, 5G has the characteristics of enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communication (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC), which are critical technologies for the future development of industrie 4.0. So far, these technologies have been explored and applied in industry, however, there is still a lack of general architectures. This paper presents a 5G and industrial communication convergence architecture and elaborates on the implementation methods from the aspects of device access technology and network configuration strategies, and discusses the transparent transmission and mapping methods adopted by 5G terminal access technology as well.
