ZTE’s 5G Smart High-Speed Railway Vehicle-to-Ground
Communication Recognized as Best Technology Innovation Application Case
ZTE Corporation, a major international provider of telecommunications,
enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the mobile internet, together
with Guangzhou Railway Technology Development Co., Ltd. and China Mobile IoT,
has been awarded Best Technology Innovation Application Case at the PT/EXPO China
2021 for 5G Smart HSR Vehicle-to-Ground Communication.
The development of digital economy and the construction of a new smart city
need the support of ICTs. The activity of collecting cases for ICT China 2021
is aimed at finding excellent industrial solutions and technical innovation
cases in China for in-depth ICT applications in cities and industries, to
facilitate digital transformation of the society.
In the 5G+ intelligent transportation field, high-speed railway is an important
basic scenario for 5G deployment. In order to cope with the severe challenges
such as large penetration loss of train coverage, Doppler frequency shift and
frequent service switching, China Mobile IoT and Guangzhou Railway Technology
Development have launched the intelligent high-speed railway vehicle-to-ground
communication solution.
Based on the industry dedicated i5GC of ZTE, the high-speed railway independent
private 5G network is deployed to interconnect with the China Mobile IoT
management platform, so as to control and manage the vehicle-mounted network.
The private 5G network satisfies the requirements of ToB terminals for large
bandwidth and low latency in the high-speed railway. Through the microcells, it
effectively lowers the requirement of the high-speed railway for coverage of
base stations. By locally deploying vehicle-mounted UPF + CDN, the high-speed
railway private 5G network interconnects with the ToC 5GC, thus realizing local
offloading of entertainment and other popular applications while improving the network
service perception.
This project applies 5G, big data, AI, and other new technologies to the
railway industry. By reconstructing 5G vehicle-mounted high-speed railway
equipment, customers enjoy high-quality 5G technologies and various applications
in high-speed railway vehicles , and high-speed railway operation becomes more
efficient and intelligent. Moving forward, Guangzhou Railway Technology
Development, China Mobile IoT, and ZTE will continue to work closely to explore
innovative 5G applications and accelerate the digital transformation in railway
field.
