A City-Scale ITS-G5 Network for Next-Generation Intelligent Transportation Systems: Design Insights and Challenges
As we move towards autonomous vehicles, a reliable Vehicle-to-Everything
(V2X) communication framework becomes of paramount importance. In this paper we
present the development and the performance evaluation of a real-world
vehicular networking testbed. Our testbed, deployed in the heart of the City of
Bristol, UK, is able to exchange sensor data in a V2X manner. We will describe
the testbed architecture and its operational modes. Then, we will provide some
insight pertaining the firmware operating on the network devices. The system
performance has been evaluated under a series of large-scale field trials,
which have proven how our solution represents a low-cost high-quality framework
for V2X communications. Our system managed to achieve high packet delivery
ratios under different scenarios (urban, rural, highway) and for different
locations around the city. We have also identified the instability of the
packet transmission rate while using single-core devices, and we present some
future directions that will address that.Comment: Accepted for publication to AdHoc-Now 201
The Many Faces of Edge Intelligence
Edge Intelligence (EI) is an emerging computing and communication paradigm that enables Artificial Intelligence (AI) functionality at the network edge. In this article, we highlight EI as an emerging and important field of research, discuss the state of research, analyze research gaps and highlight important research challenges with the objective of serving as a catalyst for research and innovation in this emerging area. We take a multidisciplinary view to reflect on the current research in AI, edge computing, and communication technologies, and we analyze how EI reflects on existing research in these fields. We also introduce representative examples of application areas that benefit from, or even demand the use of EI.Peer reviewe
D6.6 Final report on the METIS 5G system concept and technology roadmap
This deliverable presents the METIS 5G system concept which was developed to fulfil the
requirements of the beyond-2020 connected information society and to extend today’s
wireless communication systems to include new usage scenarios.
The METIS 5G system concept consists of three generic 5G services and four main enablers.
The three generic 5G services are Extreme Mobile BroadBand (xMBB), Massive Machine-
Type Communications (mMTC), and Ultra-reliable Machine-Type Communication (uMTC).
The four main enablers are Lean System Control Plane (LSCP), Dynamic RAN, Localized
Contents and Traffic Flows, and Spectrum Toolbox.
An overview of the METIS 5G architecture is given, as well as spectrum requirements and
considerations.
System-level evaluation of the METIS 5G system concept has been conducted, and we conclude that the METIS technical objectives are met.
A technology roadmap outlining further 5G development, including a timeline and recommended future work is given.Popovski, P.; Mange, G.; Gozalvez -Serrano, D.; Rosowski, T.; Zimmermann, G.; Agyapong, P.; Fallgren, M....
