Working Groups

Working Groups

5GAA’s short and long term goals contribute to the same ambition: Connected Mobility and touch upon many of the ecosystem’s components.

Working Groups

Define end-to-end view on use cases and derive technical requirements and performance indicators for the certification of connected mobility solutions (e.g. on communication architecture, radio protocols, radio parameters, frequency spectra and carrier aggregation combinations). Ensure interoperability for V2X and other affected technologies.

Evaluate and validate end-to-end solutions through testbeds. Globally orchestrating and harmonising conformity and interoperability assessments to ensure that new C-V2X products conform to existing standards and are interoperable with each other. Manage regional interoperability event programmes in cooperation with regionally established organisations. Promote commercialisation and standardisation via pilots and large-scale trials by selecting the use cases in conjunction with go-to-market strategies. This includes multi-phase / multi-year planning with prioritisation.
