5G-Xcast

5G-Xcast – Broadcast and Multicast Communication Enablers For the Fifth Generation of Wireless Systems

5G-Xcast is the first 5G PPP project to focus on the holistic implementation of multicast/broadcast as a key technology element in 5G systems in addition and as a complement to unicast. 5G-Xcast technologies are fundamental to progress towards a converged 5G infrastructure for fixed and mobile accesses, including terrestrial broadcast. The project takes a holistic approach to harmonize the media delivery among the three considered types of networks and to provide an optimised and seamless media user experience. Five demonstrations are developed:

  • “Converged, autonomous MooD in fixed/mobile networks” shows content prepared for unicast distribution being distributed over both fixed and mobile networks with dynamic switching between multicast/broadcast and unicast delivery as the audience size changes. The live and unmodified BT Sport commercial service is integrated using the 5G-Xcast content distribution framework.
  • “Forecaster5G: Object-based broadcasting”. Content is produced as a set of discrete media objects to be rendered by the end device. Common objects are transmitted using the Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over IP Multicast (DASM) system while personalised content is received via unicast.
  • “Multimedia Public Warning” uses dynamic spectrum management to send public warning multimedia alerts to the user equipment.
  • “Reliable Multicast Delivery in 5G Networks” shows the benefits of using multicast for delivering popular content regarding resource consumption, spectrum efficiency, QoE while highlighting the effects of using application-layer methods, such as DASH streaming and multilink delivery.
  • “Hybrid Broadcast Service with Multi-Link” shows the benefits of splitting and combining content from different networks via LTE and Wi-Fi interfaces, with a seamless switch between them and the ability to increase aggregated throughput via Multi-Link.

Booth #2

5G-MoNArch

The envisaged diversity of services, use cases, and applications to be supported by 5G requires a flexible, adaptable, and programmable mobile network architecture. 5G-PPP Phase 1 projects addressed the baseline design of such an architecture at a conceptual level. In particular, the concept of network slicing, which builds on the capabilities of SDN, network function virtualisation (NFV), access network orchestration, and analytics, allows to logically sectorise the network for dedicated services, applications, or vertical industries. Each of these sectors may have different requirements in terms of quality and performance requirements, but multiple slices share the same physical and virtualised infrastructure.

The goal of 5G-MoNArch as a Phase 2 project is thus to bring this architecture design to practice through two innovative testbeds: the Hamburg Smart Sea Port and Turin Touristic City. The Smart Sea Port thereby represents an industrial environment where the focus is on highly resilient and secure communication for applications such as logistics traffic control through a connected traffic light, environmental pollution control through ship-based mobile sensors, and a CCTV installation for access gate super-vision. For the Touristic City, representing a typical use case for future (multi-)media and entertainment services, mobile broadband services including high-definition video streaming and interactive augmented reality applications will be implemented, that allow visitors of the Palazzo Madama museum in Turin a completely new experience. Both testbeds use on-site mobile network and mobile terminal installations implementing network slicing-enabled protocol stacks.

PriMO-5G

PriMO-5G – Virtual Presence in Moving Objects through 5G

PriMO-5G is an EU-KR collaboration project aiming to demonstrate an end-to-end 5G system providing immersive video services for moving objects. The PriMO-5G project will present three demos under the thematic title of “Optimal 5G mobile network for Firefighting with UAVs”.

The first demo will be exhibit the usage of 5G Core (5GC) integrated with Network Slicing and MEC to provide ultra-reliable communications for UAV management and media delivery during firefighting situations. In this demo a UAV with video camera and USB dongle is connected to LTE eNB and CMC 5GC to stream video uplink. The 5GC uses eMBMS to broadcast the video downlink from the UAV to 4 or 5 user equipment (UEs) with eMBMS middleware.

The second demo will exhibit the concept of Optimal Routing and how it provides a solution that allows low latency UE-server or UE-UE communication, while keeping service and session continuity (IP address preservation). The 3GPP defined 5GC architecture provides a mechanism to have IP address preservation at mobility events. However, this implies that the IP address gets associated with a User Plane Function (UPF) that cannot be changed. This is a disadvantage for edge use cases, where low latency requires that the UPF is close to the UEs. Other solutions allow to change the UPF, but without IP address preservation.

The third demo will show the possibility of near-zero latency mission involvement (in a firefighting scenario) by introducing 5G-enabled immersive video streaming. One of the enabling factors, which we will show, is the leveraging of different computing and communicating resources provided by the overall system, e.g. multi-tiered drones, MEC, and a server.

Ellipz Smart Solutions

The visible light spectrum must play a pivotal role in the 5G revolution. Optical morse code has entered the numeric age with LED light sources. Since electricity hardwire infrastructure is already installed to reach every user, and since light bulbs are everywhere in houses, offices and city streets, we domesticate this installed base to move forward with wireless data transfer. Our products and network modernization solutions offer unmatched consistency in an environment challenged by increasing radio frequency interference issues or bandwidth saturation.

Using visible light to measure, detect, locate, or communicate has its virtues: it is precise, fast, and reliable. It is also cost effective and energy saving. Our wireless technical solutions allow to increase collection and transfer of information without the collateral increase in radio frequency exposure.

We believe smart should reconcile performance with versatility and sobriety. LED bulbs can provide light and transfer data at the same time. As smart cities invent their optimal infrastructure, as our smart phones accumulate functionalities to intertwine services, as the internet of things redesign technologic capabilities, wireless connectivity becomes a pivotal enabler. Visible light as communication infrastructure can accelerate and improve our technologic transformation.

H2020 TERRANOVA

The H2020 project TERRANOVA envisions to extend the fibre-optic systems’ Quality of Experience to wireless links by exploiting frequencies above 275 GHz.

The hardware and algorithmic innovations from TERRANOVA are used within the project to implement two proof-of-concept demonstrators, namely a High-Capacity and a Beamforming demonstrator.

At EUCNC, TERRANOVA shows the world’s first real-time 100 Gb/s THz wireless communication link using a single 300 GHz carrier. The THz link will be embedded in a 100 Gb/s fibre-based backhaul link of a state-of-the-art Next Generation Optical Access Network (XGS-PON), thus demonstrating the “Wireless fibre extender” application scenario, which is considered a key application for TERRANOVA. This scenario is especially interesting, when it is intended to provide reliable data communication with very high data throughputs for distances up to 1 km on adverse geographies, such as lakes, rivers and dams, or even on environments, where civil work construction is not allowed due to physical and/or regulatory constraints. Currently, rural users suffer low-connectivity problems, but in the future they will have an opportunity to enjoy high data rates. The TERRANOVA wireless fibre extender has low-complexity setup, high flexibility and low total cost of ownership when compared to the fibre deployment, which makes it appropriate for this type of applications.

5G-RANGE

5G-RANGE – Remote area Access Network for 5th Generation

Nowadays, the main research efforts on 5G networks aim for improving the data rate, reduce latency and increase the number of connections. Besides these efforts, one important scenario is not being intensively researched, which is the coverage in remote and rural areas. The main goal of the 5G-RANGE project is to conceive and implement a 5G operation mode that can provide reliable Internet access in remote areas, with significant social and economic impacts. 5G-RANGE will provide the telecommunications infrastructure to allow those living in low populate areas to have reliable Internet access. This solution will also support the agribusiness automation, allowing for using IoT for improving farms productions in the so-called smart farms. Other applications, such as road coverage and high-speed train connections, will benefit from the wide coverage provided by 5G-RANGE. The 5G-RANGE PHY must overcome several challenges. Cognitive radio techniques shall be employed to reduce operational costs. Hence, the waveform must have low out-of-band emissions and spectrum flexibility to support dynamic frequency allocation. The waveform also must achieve high spectrum efficiency under a double-dispersive channel with long delay profile. Finally, state-of-the-art channel codes and MIMO schemes must be used to provide robustness for large cell coverage. The main aim of this demonstration is to show the preliminary results achieved by the 5G-RANGE Project in terms of the PHY for Remote Area Applications. The transceiver is entirely implemented in hardware and is able to operate in real-time at high data rates. We will demonstrate that the conceived PHY layer is able to achieve very low out-of-band emissions, which allows spectrum agility by just turning off subcarriers in undesired spectrum bands. The system robustness is assured by a flexible Polar Code, which can be configured to operate at different code rates and by a MIMO diversity scheme to enhance robustness.

SEMIoTICS

The SEMIoTICS platform delivers an NFV Infrastructure for Industrial Applications with the following layers:

  • A Virtualized Backend Layer with a local cloud, based on OpenStack and OSM. These will host VNFs related to smart actuation, monitoring, and data analytics. An OpenHab service will also visualize sensor values and alerts.
  • Virtualized IoT Gateway Layer based on an Odroid C2 minicomputer, that can host Field layer VFNs.
  • Field layer BLE sensors (temperature, humidity, vibration and light intensity) and actuators (smart lights).

We will demo the following scenarios:

  • A Server Environment Monitoring System, where SEMIoTICS local embedded intelligence will help detect anomalous conditions. Alerts will indicate abnormally high vibrations at an Odroid MC1 mini Rack due to cooling fan failures, or critical environmental conditions that could indicate HVAC failures.
  • vEPC and backend slices as services, SEMIoTICS’ backend infrastructure is leveraged for orchestrating the core network components of LTE (vEPC) employing a Day-0 VNF configuration approach using Cloud-Init. Such deployment will help upload metrics from wind turbines via LTE to a monitoring application hosted in a backend slice. Administrators then will be able to check the blades’ rotation speed and/or alerts via a GUI provided by Grafana.

5G-PHOS and blueSPACE

This exhibition shows a joint demo from two projects, blueSPACE and 5G-PHOS, in the area of infrastructure for 5G networks that join forces here to showcase the hardware required to develop efficient A-RoF optical fronthaul networks. At the booth, blueSPACE and 5G-PHOS describe their progress and advances towards the hardware required in the end-to-end communication, including highly performance optical transmission technologies, mm-wave antennas with directional beams and BaseBand units for A-RoF communications. The hardware is presented in a live demo on the end-to-end technologies required to implement high-capacity and high-density fronthaul links for 5G mm-wave networks. The projects demonstrate the downlink communication of up to 400MHz OFDM mm-wave signals, i.e., waveforms compatible with the specs foreseen by 3GPP, transmitted through a pair of 60GHz directional antennas with 10o beam width and a multi-core fiber using analog radio-over-fiber transport techniques, aiming to show a viable path towards unprecedented end-to-end user capacities for next generation 5G fiber-wireless networks. The demonstration showcases analog fronthaul as a key candidate to serve future mm-wave 5G communications and proves the feasibility of analog transport of large bandwidth radio signals for mm-wave 5G NR with fully centralized signal generation and processing, combining the blueSPACE analog radio-over-fiber BBU with the mm-wave radio technology of 5G PHOS.

The demo takes place at the joint booth of the two projects between Monday, June 17th 2019, 14:00 and Thursday, June 20th 2019, 18:00.

IoRL: Internet of Radio Light

Wireless networks in buildings suffer from congestion, interference, security and safety concerns, restricted propagation and poor in-door location accuracy. The Internet of Radio-Light (IoRL) project develops a safer, more secure, customizable and intelligent building network that reliably delivers increased throughput (>10G bps within a building) from access points pervasively located within buildings with latencies of <1ms, whilst minimizing interference and harmful EM exposure and providing location accuracy of < 10cm. It thereby solves problem of broadband wireless access in buildings and promotes establishment of global standard in ITU. Building landlords will be incentivized to find funding to realize this solution for their properties to increase their value resulting in a stimulated market for broadband networking products in buildings, benefiting society and stimulating the world Gross Domestic Product. IoRL project has developed a proof of concept portable demonstrator, which acts as the basis for standardization of a global solution exploiting the broadband capacities of VLC, mmWave, the flexibility of NFV/SDN technologies and the accessibility of the existing electric light access points. It shows how an industrial redesigned radio-light solution can be integrated into existing electric light consumer products to become a universal Electromagnetic access point in rooms within buildings.

The objective of the demonstration is to present the principle of operation of the main concepts of the IoRL architecture to vertical industries in particular to Building Design Consultants and Electro-Mechanical designers in civil engineering companies , Electric Lighting Systems Manufacturers, road, rail and air transport industries, manufacturing and warehouse industries, healthcare industries, Consumer Electronics and Computer Communication Network Manufacturers and Software Services Industry.
