Advanced Wireless Technologies and Applications for Wireless TCMS

This report will describe several advanced wireless technologies for wireless TCMS. More specifically, it will detail in the first place the architecture and system supporting the integration of the Wireless TCMS with the Wireless Train Backbone Communications, including a common specification supporting each individual system requirement and architecture. The architecture of the wireless extension to the DbD concept will also be analyzed, including performance evaluation. The deliverable will also describe the benefits of 5G technologies for Wireless TCMS in terms of communication (capacity/reliability), management (Slicing, Orchestration), including standardizations, as well as an overview of virtual coupling requirements, state-of-art wireless technologies, and recommendation of the most suitable technology, including small scale performance evaluations. An interim version for review by the CFM project will be released on M28
