After last year’s cancellation, 5GAA is happy to bring again a Partner Programme to MWC Shanghai 2021 on Wednesday, 24 February, 9.30 AM-12.30 PM (CST).

Smart mobility technology is already here. C-V2X technology now allows connected vehicles to communicate with the cloud, directly with each other and with their surroundings. Thanks to 4G LTE cellular technology, as well as the emerging 5th generation of high speed and low latency communications, 5G, traffic will be optimised, and emissions will be reduced. Prominent members  will update you on how C-V2X fuels the automotive connected revolution, with a comprehensive overview of its latest development in China including the valuable perspective of Chinese regulators.

Further information will be shared shortly!

On 24 November, Euractiv hosted a debate to assess and discuss the benefits of C-V2X deployment in terms of emission reduction by 2050 in Europe.

TNO, a not-for-profit Dutch research institute, presented new research related to traffic efficiency, and the specific C-V2X functionalities that offer the biggest emission reductions and therefore a contribution to the EU’s climate goals ahead of the comprehensive Strategy for a Sustainable and Smart Mobility (part of the European Green Deal).

The Strategy proposes to match measures to the “ambition to achieve the 90% reduction in emissions by 2050” leveraging “digitalisation and automation, enhancing connectivity to the next level and last, but not least, it will ensure safety and accessibility”.

On 24 November 2020, the 5G Automotive Association, in partnership with Euractiv, hosted a debate to discuss how C-V2X can contribute to reducing transport emissions.

To what extent can connected driving, with increasing levels of automation, lead to environmental benefits? To answer this question, 5GAA asked Dutch non-profit organisation TNO to conduct a study into the environmental effects of V2X communication as it is currently used in transport and as it can be used in future implementations.

During the event, the organisation presented the results of the study. These highlighted the specific C-V2X functionalities that offer the biggest emission reductions and therefore a contribution to the EU’s climate goals.

Indeed, at the time of the broadcast, the European Commission was working the Sustainable and Smart Mobility strategy, proposing measures that match the ambition of the recently updated emissions reductions goals. Policymakers aimed to leverage digitalisation and automation to create a more sustainable future for the transport and mobility sector.

The present report represents the latest version of the first set of Use Case descriptions (Volume 1 – previously named WAVE1) developed in the context of the 5GAA WG1 work item “Use Case and KPI requirements”. The report introduces and explains the WG1 approach to describe Use Cases and their Service Level Requirements (SLRs). It includes a framework for the Use Case descriptions and a framework for Use Case Service Level Requirements collection. The two frameworks are applied to the Use Cases provided in the 5GAA Board Internal Guidance Document.

On 20 October 2020, the 5G Automotive Association took part in one of the Financial Times Digital Dialogues moderated by Michael Pooler, Manufacturing Editor at Financial Times.

A successful and insightful session focused on the “Roadmap towards 5G Connected Driving”.

Oliver Bahns, Senior Vice-President Connected Mobility Deutsche Telecom AG, T-Systems, Digital Solutions; Kelei Shen, CTO Harman; and Stephan Durach, Senior Vice President, Connected Company Development, Technical Operations, BMW Group, highlighted the most critical issues around V2X Services.
Some of the topics covered were:

• What are the most prevalent and common features of connectivity currently available in the field of vehicles-to-everything?
• Why is the automotive sector such an attractive prospect for 5G? Why does full connectivity of cars with everything require 5G as opposed to 4G?
• What are the most exciting emerging technological advances in 5G and V2X?
• What are the technological obstacles and how are they being overcome?

There is increased interest in the potential environmental benefits of C-V2X, given that substantial transport emissions reductions are required to help mitigate climate change, and the upcoming EC Strategy on Sustainable and Smart Mobility which intends to propose matching measures to the “unprecedented ambition to achieve 90% reduction in emissions by 2050”. The question is to what extent connected driving, with increasing levels of automation, can lead to environmental benefits. 5GAA, the 5G Automotive Association, asked TNO to conduct a study into the environmental effects of V2X communication as it is currently used in transport and as it can be used in future implementations.

Presentation of the study

5G will help vertical industries to achieve the ‘internet of everything’ vision of ubiquitously connected, highly reliable, ultra-low latency services for a massive number of terminals. Network slicing is considered as one of the key features for 5G allowing in particular to support the different needs of various vertical industries, including the automotive industry. Network slicing is a concept for running multiple logical networks (which could be customised and provided with guaranteed Service Level Agreements, SLAs) as virtually independent business operations on common physical infrastructure.

To limit the scope of this work, it will initially focus on the very basic functions of a mobile network, which are to provide coverage, throughput, and latency for data transmission between the vehicle (UE) and a backend infrastructure (i.e. mobile networks) using the network slicing approach. In further steps, the scope of this work shall be extended from how to use network slicing to tackle the additional functional and operational requirements from the automotive industry and their business implications.
