5G Based on MNOs for Critical Railway Signalling Services: Future Railway Mobile Communication System
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper describes the prototype and tests carried out to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing 4G/5G systems based on mobile network operators (MNOs) to transmit signalling critical data for railway systems as part of a possible solution for the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS). This communication system design is performed from a protocol-stack perspective, introducing the KPIs for the physical layer (RSRP, RSRQ and SINR), network layer (latency and jitter) and application layer (signalling communication timeout). The analysis focuses on the characterisation of signalling critical railway data to assess the data traffic behaviour in a telecommunications laboratory. Finally, the study validates the approach in a realistic railway environment.
