Urban Transportation and 5G Connectivity

With the fifth-generation mobile communication system (5G), mobile operators need to explore new use cases and applications. These industries are potential users of 5G to fully exploit the new 5G capabilities in terms of its application. Vehicular communications and intelligent transportation systems are considered new use cases of 5G whose low-latency and ultra-reliability are required. This project presents an experimental evaluation of latency and reliability performance of 5G connectivity towards intelligent transportation systems. In this project, we introduce the 5G Thales prototype system. It is most distinctive that the prototype system is equipped with a V2V Direct communication radio interface and the traditional radio interfaces between BS and UE (i.e., downlink and uplink). Then, we present the evaluation results on over-the-air latency and reliability performance. The measurement campaign was carried out in Quebec City.
