MWC 2017-5G on the road The 5G Innovation Centre at the University of Surrey will showcase its innovative research which presents a 5G vision for the automotive industry including a proposition to create a sliced architecture which has the potential to change the car journey experience and value proposition as we know it. This is based on five key network slices: AUTONOMY & SAFETY: providing new ways of making the process of driving safer, easier and more comfortable INFOTAINMENT: the use of real time information, entertainment and content to deliver an enhanced driver experience TELEMATICS: systems to provide new services and car connectivity for increased driver efficiency and accessible information VEHICLE SENSING: using sensors to generate information for driver use and for wider distribution, providing community benefits to other road users and organisations CONNECTING SERVICES: exploring exciting new architectures, creating instant user experience working across multiple physical and virtual boundaries
The Journey 5G vision is to provide the fabric of connectivity to facilitate the modernisation of many industries, with corresponding increases in efficiency and productivity. Connecting devices is equally important as connecting people, including cars, motorways, homes and factories. The 5G fabric of connectivity will be the starting point for connecting cars and motorways, leading to eventual self-driving and autonomous transportation. For transport some of the main goals are reducing road accidents to zero, increasing motorway capacity reducing fuel consumption and reducing air pollution. The aim of the Surrey 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC) is to be an international centre of expertise working with global partners to overcome these technical challenges and, crucially, to provide proof of concept demonstration in a real environment. We believe that the automotive sector will be a leading exemplar as an early adopter of 5G technologies.
Transport - Autonomy and safety Common infrastructure and eco-system, delivering multiple use cases: Vehicle to Vehicle V2V Vehicle to Infrastructure V2I 50 RSU Mobile to consumers on the move Secure communications to professionals and emergency services Machine to machine for safety, critical services and autonomy (e.g. Vehicle to Vehicle and Vehicle to Infrastructure, Train to Trackside) Critical infrastructure monitoring and preventive maintenance Enhanced routing and load balancing increasing rail and road utilisation and efficiency.
