A Reconfigurable 5G Testbed for V2X and Industry4.0 Applications

Abstract

Future 5G technologies need to support different types of use cases, each with different type of requirements. In this paper, we present a Reconfigurable 5G Testbed Solution used to support different V2X and Industry 4.0 use cases. Enabling Cooperative Collision Avoidance for automated driving using 5G technology to improve the road safety. 5G enhanced with low-latency, high reliability and throughput is one of the crucial goals fitting the diverse requirements for V2X communications. 5G is also a key enabler for new industry addressing challenging solutions. We discuss different V2X and industrial use cases implemented in real field test, using a 5G radio testbed based on flexible and re-configurable software defined radio that is designed for cooperative automated driving and new generation industrial communication. The use cases of Emergency Brake, Teleoperated Driving and Robot As A Service are elaborated and tested with the same 5G Testbed. We present our 5G testbed solution showing system design and technical enablers that can achieve the most stringent linklevel communication requirements.We finally present the trials results.
