  Future Industrial 4.0 applications in the 6G era is calling for high
dependability that goes far beyond the current ultra-reliable low latency
communication (URLLC), and therewith proposed critical challenges to the
communication technology. Instead of struggling against the physical and
technical limits towards an extreme URLLC (xURLLC), communication-control
co-design (CoCoCo) appears a more promising solution. This work proposes a
novel framework of CoCoCo, which is not only enhancing the dependability of 6G
industrial applications such as remote control, but also exhibiting rich
potential in revolutionizing the future industry per openness and flexibility
of manufacturing systems.
