The challenge of the expansion of millions of data-intensive Internet of Things (IoT) devices has led to more restriction data rates in the 5G wireless communication network. A web server can make use of network features and functions in a variety of capacities by detecting digital records of human and object behaviors from the Internet of Everything (IoE) for autonomous networks and devices. While web server appears to be a potential option when used in conjunction with next-generation wireless communications, such as 5G technology, it introduces new issues at the edge of the network. In this article, we discuss the progression in the development of wireless technologies beyond IoT (i.e., IoE for autonomous networks), while explaining the key enabling technologies beyond 5G networks. A web server-based edge architecture has been proposed for managing a large-scale of IoE devices based on 6G-enabled technology for autonomous networks and a smart resource distribution approach. The proposed system allocates receiving work-loads from IoE devices based on their flexible service requirements using the Boltzmann machines approach designed for energy-efficient communications. In addition, at the edge network, an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven method, namely the Support Vector Machines (SVM) retrieval model, is used to assess the data and obtain accurate results. The proposed system has been simulated and compared with some of the existing algorithms considering different use case scenarios. An overview of the emerging challenges of the proposed architecture has been discussed.

Network slicing is one of the most important enablers of an evolved network architecture for 5G networks that can support the challenging quality-of-service (QoS) requirements of future communication services. Network slicing is realized by technologies, such as software-defined networks, network function virtualization, and cloud radio access network (C-RAN) with packet-based fronthaul (P-FH) interfaces. However, it is still challenging to effectively support the diverse QoS requirements of network slices with limited FH link resources. To this end, FH payloads should be packetized in an appropriate way to apply transport differentiation provided in the P-FH interfaces since they are transported in a form of packets. In this article, we first comprehensively investigate the characteristics of the components of the FH payloads. Based on the investigation, we then design a packetization method that enables the P-FH interfaces to address the diverse QoS requirements by effectively applying their transport differentiation to the generated packets. Finally, we discuss open issues on realizing the P-FH interface in practice.

In the coming years, blockchain technologies will be used in a variety of industries, including telecommunications. In this article, due to strict governance of telecommunication infrastructure, we propose a blockchain supported architecture, based on a permissioned distributed ledger (PDL) scheme, for a network management and orchestration platform. The main goal is to create a trusted environment for multiple-stakeholders, such as Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), a Mobile Network Operator (MNO), Vertical Service Providers (SPs), Legal and Regulation Authorities, and Responsible Ministry so that the life cycle of automated vertical network services (e.g., instantiation, scaling, termination, and migration/reallocation) can be managed securely and transparently in a multi-cloud and multi-domain environment. The proposed approach is also validated with an experimental Industry 4.0 scenario using the Quorum blockchain network (BCN) to measure various performance metrics (e.g., number of transactions and blocks, and time to write) of various service orchestrator (SO)-related instantiation metrics. At the end of the article, we present the main discussions on the evaluation results and existing standardization efforts for the convergence of BCN, Management and Orchestration (MANO), and network services for a given telecommunication infrastructure.
