Future Railway Mobile Communications System (FRMCS) What Follows GSM-R? Clive Kessell & Paul Darlington CK

GSM- R Built on 2nd generation (2G) GSM technology. Huge success for both European and international railway systems. 35 different GSM-R systems in Europe alone. Used internationally - China 33,750 km of GSM-R. Support for GSM-R has been agreed until 2030. Features still be exploited and developed. However, the search for a successor to GSM-R has begun, likely to be based on LTE 4G/5G and or Wi-Fi. CK

Future of GSM-R GSM-R predominantly for operational voice communications with limited data. Vision for next-generation system is to address: Operational services, voice and data. Business applications e.g. measure asset performance. Market applications e.g. passenger Wi-Fi. CK

GSM-R spectrum GSM-R – 4 MHz of GSM band 876-880 MHz (up) 921-925 MHz (down) GSM-R builds on existing GSM mobile standards, using the frequency bands 876-880 MHz (uplink) and 921-925 MHz (downlink

Future of GSM-R - spectrum European Rail Infrastructure Managers (EIM) association and Community of European Railways and Infrastructure Companies (CER) suggest that the 873-876 MHz/918-921 MHz band should be reserved in addition to the current GSM-R band Watch this space! PD

4G LTE for Rail Use A single track to train radio for operational, commercial and passenger services. Can meet all ETCS communication requirements. Simplified base station architecture with remote radio heads (RRH) eliminating long co-ax lengths. Cyber security protection is ‘best yet’. UIC focussing on 4G LTE under its Future Railway Mobile Comms System (FRMCS) study and Shift2Rail - MISTRAL. PD

4G LTE distributed radio base stations Broadcast Control Channel RRH Baseband Unit (BBU) Remote Radio Head (RRH) distributed base station technology (explain a bit about the concept - “split” of functionality and control intelligence between BBU and RRU, etc etc...) Distributed basestations is NOT RF over fibre, the baseband unit which has got a lot of the switching and processing couples to the radio remote unit by fibre. Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) The RRU has a small amount of processing and the RF components, in an environmentally sealed case, no REB required. One BBU, which will be mounted at an autotransformer site (which has maintainers access) can connect to 6 if not more RRU over typically 20km. And for redundancy a RRU can connect to a main and standby RRU. With LTE a number of RRUs can use the same frequency, therefore you get an elongated cell – less handovers – important at high speed.

LTE distributed radio base stations Antennas on OHL structures Large virtual cells for handover No equipment rooms required Inherent dual redundancy ... the answer --- distributed base station technology (explain a bit about the concept - not rfof etc, “split” of functionality and control intelligence between BBU and RRU, etc etc...)

5G - driven by three main requirements Enhanced Mobile Broadband (EMB), with the promise of 10 Gbits/s connectivity Massive Internet of Things (MIoT), facilitating the development of smart buildings and smart cities Mission Critical Services (MCS), high-reliability, low-latency networks enabling applications such as autonomous vehicles, remote surgery, and drones

5G soft core and cloud architecture Cloud computing-based architecture - software-defined networking (SDN) Centralised Radio Access Network (C-RAN) with flexibility where functions are carried out Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), pushing core functions to cell sites Network slicing - virtual private network capability - neutral host models

5G spectrum Mobile Network Operators (MNO) are prepared to invest heavily for spectrum they view as critical to 5G. Straight Path – held 868 spectrum licences in 28 GHz and 39 GHz bands (millimetric 5G frequencies) in USA. AT&T offered $1.6 billion = 162% of their value.  Verizon Communications offered $2.3 billion and eventually $3.1 billion = 300% over value……

5G New Radio Access Network (RAN) User equipment (UE) attached to multiple cells, better reliability. Small cell support – better indoor coverage, increased cell density. 5G NR (New Radio) in unlicensed bands – convergence with Wi-FI. User equipment connected directly with no network - Device to Device (D2D) Vehicle to Everything (V2X).

Using GSM-R masts several km apart between Edinburgh & Glasgow with a limited number of in-fills. 5GHz licence-free Wifi base stations. Average 350Mbits/s with peaks at 500Mbits/s with a trackside spacing between 2 and 4km

Timescale realities 2018

Summary and recommendations Recognition that GSM-R replacement has to be progressed 4G systems already in limited use By time GSM-R is switched off, 5G systems may be commonplace Wi-Fi option has to be carefully watched Development of 5G is our recommendation. Licensing bodies need encouragement for provision of common spectrum allocation worldwide.
