Validation of 5G Applications in the Transport Industry
5G has the potential to enable fundamentally new applications, industries, business models and to dramatically improve the quality of life around the world through unprecedented use cases. Transport is an important industry sector in Europe, in terms of jobs, market size and international trade. Moreover, it is vital from a societal perspective, e.g. for safer and more resilient services for people and goods. This paper targets 5G applications in this vertical industry, especially for improving utility, efficient processes, and safety. It defines vertical use cases by using the 5G wireless mobile telecommunications technology. In addition, it investigates the technological and business validation of these trials of the transport industry and addresses business opportunities for future 5G applications

Facilitating ICN deployment with an extended open flow protocol
Named-Data Networking (NDN) is proposed as an approach to evolve the Internet infrastructure from a host- to an informationcentric (ICN) approach, which is better suited to the current usage of the Internet. However, the deployment of a global NDN-based Internet is still a long way out of reach. The most likely scenario for a global NDN network will be the one based on NDN \u27islands\u27 or domains, where interior forwarding and routing of packets is based on NDN principles. The interconnection of NDN domains involves human configuration to set up IP tunnels, implying an unscalable, tedious and error-prone process resulting in static con!guration incapable of reacting to ad-hoc requirements or network changes. Leveraging the exibility of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) can solve aforementioned problems. Due to its dynamic nature, SDN can automatically recognize an NDN service and instruct switches to set up the configuration for actual service deployment. Such a solution significantly eases the deployment of NDN networks. In this paper, we propose a hybrid solution where we combine Software-Defined Networking, more specifically Open Flow, and eBPF to perform control plane configuration and data plane programmability respectively, to realize connectivity within and across NDN domains. To do so, we have designed eBPF filters that match on NDN traffc, extended the Open Flowprotocol to configure switch data planes with these match filters and enhanced an Open Flow switch to act accordingly. Our OpenFlow controller written for Ryu performs routing on NDN names and configures switches correspondingly. Additionally, our controller detects NDN domains and sets up IP tunnels between them. Our evaluation shows that our proof-of-concept on, among others, the SciNet testbed autocon- figures an NDN network, successfully providing end-to-end NDN network functionality across multiple domains
