Outdoor Field Test of 5G-based V2X Communication for Real-Time Monitoring and Remote Control of a Monorail Vehicle

2023 , Gustin, Denis , Siekmann, Timo , Kroll, Björn , Kleen, Philip , Schriegel, Sebastian , Jasperneite, Jürgen

Smart cities will be significantly shaped by their modes of mobility. For the blend of public and individual transport, smart mobility will introduce autonomous vehicles on a large scale, which often heavily rely on communication. As the capabilities of autonomous vehicles are still limited nowadays, driver-less vehicles have to be able to be remotely monitored and controlled in real-time. This creates high performance demands for the vehicle’s communication link, especially regarding latency and uplink, which can easily exceed the limits of communication standards like Long Term Evolution (LTE). Therefore, the development of the communication system for the newly developed autonomous monorail vehicle MONOCAB aims towards the use of the 5G standard. This paper presents experiences and measurements from a first outdoor field test conducted in the context of monitoring and remotely controlling the MONOCAB via 5G. Previously, all communication services were subjected to ITU-T Y.1564 compliant tests for the network planning and the deployment of a 5G Non-Public Network (NPN). This deployed 5G NPN was then used to test remote monitoring the MONOCAB, at it’s first public presentation on the 3rd of October 2022, by transmitting video streams and telemetry data from the vehicle to a central control station. Additionally, a glass-to-glass latency measurement of a video stream transmitted via 5G was conducted, to point out the latency impact of 5G.

An Architecture Concept for Short- and Long-term Resource Planning in the Industry 4.0 Environment

2022 , Neumann, Arne , Illian, Marvin , Hardes, Tobias , Martenvormfelde, Lukas , Wisniewski, Lukasz , Jasperneite, Jürgen

The manufacturing domain is exposed to a continu-ous change of the requirements towards the IT infrastructure and the flexibility in Industry 4.0. In order to achieve a highly reliable production system, predictive maintenance and additive sensing have been implemented and will be complemented by further applications such as Augmented Reality. As the applications may be required ad-hoc at any time, the dynamic resource utilization of networking and computational resources needs to be managed. In the long-term, the planning of the infrastructure affects the available resources and thus the efficiency and reliability of the short-term resource management. This paper suggests an architecture that combines short- and long-term aspects of the resource utilization and previews how the infrastructure and opportunity costs can be optimized by the joint approach.

Towards integration of industrial ethernet with 5G mobile networks

2018 , Neumann, Arne , Wisniewski, Lukasz , Ganesan, Rakash SivaSiva , Rost, Peter , Jasperneite, Jürgen

In contrast to the predecessors, the fifth generation of mobile networks (5G) will particularly address communication in production systems by providing machine-type communication and matching requirements regarding reliability and latency. However, 3GPP 5G will not be the one and only network technology that can be used to fulfill all the requirements raising from industrial applications at reasonable costs. It is more likely, that it complements other wired and wireless technologies, rather than replacing them. This paper presents different scenarios to combine 5G and Industrial Ethernet to a hybrid topology, it explains the characteristics and possible use cases for these scenarios and it sketches approaches to engineer and configure the hybrid network.
