5G-INRAIL will develop a complete end-to-end 5G NR physical layer software demonstrator for railway control communications over satellite. Building on previous work from the above projects, the simulator will use the defined satellite orbit scenarios and frequency bands of interest for FRMCS over satellite, fine-tuning of existing channel models to be made very realistic and specific for the railway-satellite channel.
The aim is a high-fidelity software demonstrator showing end-to-end 5G NR physical layer performance over satellite for:
- Variety of train speeds up to 500 Km/h
- Variety of local environments (i.e. rural, sub-urban, urban etc.)
- Variety of frequency bands (e.g. L-band, Ku-band, Ka-band etc.)
- Variety of satellite orbits (e.g. LEO, GEO)
- Variety of ground antenna solutions
The outputs will be used to support of ETSI RT standardisation.
