In this chapter, we suggest integrating the IEEE 1918.1 TI architecture into the 5G new radio (NR) access technology and core network, with adequate mapping between the entities and functionalities of both systems. The IEEE 1918.1 working group has undertaken the task of developing a standard for the TI. They have defined the TI architecture along with its associated elements and interfaces. It is worth mentioning that the IEEE 1918.1 standard is considered as an overlay on 5G and other networks. However, this overlay needs some interoperability capabilities that are not defined in the standard and are left open to the operators, depending on the deployed TI use cases (Van Den Berg et al. 2017). In this chapter, we propose an overlay architecture design for an integrated TI system, based on the IEEE 1918.1 architecture and protocols with a 5G NR network. In order to support this overlaying, we mapped the functionalities of the IEEE 1918.1 architecture to the functionalities of the 5G core network. Also, we introduced some functionalities that facilitate this interoperability through functional modules that are inserted in the edge and network domains. We propose a conceptual teleoperation system based on ...
