With the fast-paced realization of Industry 4.0 paradigm, completely centralized networking solutions will no longer be sufficient to meet stringent requirements related industrial applications. Besides requiring fast response time and increased reliability, they necessitate computational resources at edge network, which demands advanced communication data management techniques. In this paper, we provide an overview network communications aspects for 4.0. Our global perspective is understand key challenges peculiarities effective fourth revolution. To address these challenges, paper proposes hybrid decentralized distribution supported by a hierarchical multi-tier architecture. The proposed combine local with decisions efficiently use available end, distributed entities interact in order coordinate their ensure correct operation whole network. Finally, Radio Access Network (RAN) slicing achieve required flexibility varying
