Citizen, Teaching, Industry, Cities for Future Mobility

5G technology is the fifth generation of mobile networks, which addresses the digital service growth. Technology inner qualities will generalize numerous services in various domains: smart city, Industry 4.0, connected cars, multimedia services, specially augmented and virtual reality. 5G network deployment will improve outdoor data exchange (speed, latency, availability) while avoiding 4G network congestion in crowded areas (ski and seaside resorts, downtown areas...).

The talk first describes the inner 5G features, today and in the future, and their combination: speed, latency, connection density, edge computing, slicing, vicinity data storage or the increasing association with artificial intelligence and the Internet of things. 

The talk then details the application of 5G to the automotive domain. The latter has a fast evolution: connected vehicles appears on the market and progressively aggregates autonomous features. Orange participated to cooperative research projects named 5GCar et 5GCroCo (Fifth Generation Cross-Border Control), which aimed at defining a 5G V2X – Vehicle-to-everything – communication infrastructure and to experiment it on various road types, especially a highway corridor between France, Germany and Luxembourg. Several use cases were evaluated: lane merge coordination, data exchange between vehicles, vulnerable road users protection, teleoperated driving, high definition map generation.
