In the current 5G technology domain network slicing already plays an important role as a critical enabler. An industry that 5G aims to disrupt is the vehicular one. In this paper the brief scope of the 5G‐DRIVE research project is presented, regarding 5G vehicular research between the EU and China. In the frame of 5G‐DRIVE a set of slicing mechanisms are investigated and evaluated in regard to their performance. Firstly, related to slicing mechanisms in the NFV domain the OSM orchestrator is measured in terms of scalability and performance. In the next experimental set related to RAN slicing, the Katana Slice Manager is evaluated and depicts how different slicing configurations can achieve different performance results. Furthermore, the paper showcases how 5G network slicing can be integrated as a key enabler to the stringent demands of a vehicular network environment. Finally, the paper concludes, setting future directions in the related field.

“…However, the focus of the project is on the deployment and usage of the NetApps while in this work we consider a more complex testbed including a satellite network, which brings further challenges. The EU 5GENESIS project [26] presents the design and implementation of an end-to-end experimental testbed for integrated satellite/terrestrial 5G services. The aim of the project is to test various vertical use cases such as maritime communications, IoT in rural areas, etc.…”

In recent years, the adoption of innovative technologies in maritime transport and logistics systems has become a key aspect towards their development and growth, especially due to the complex and heterogeneous nature of the maritime environment. On the other hand, Internet of Things (IoT) solutions are gaining importance in the shipping industry thanks to the huge number of distributed cameras and sensors in modern ships, cargoes and sea ports, which can be exploited to improve safety, costs and productivity. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of a maritime platform, which enables a wide range of 5G-based services in the context of logistics and maritime transportation. Its core is a Narrow Band (NB)-IoT framework used to run massive IoT services on top of a hybrid terrestrial–satellite network and feed a OneM2M platform with significant data on maritime transport to develop high-level and value-added logistic applications on top. Among the many different services that could be provided by the maritime platform, we focus on the cargo-ship container tracking use case through the Global Tracking System, which allows for continuous container monitoring all over the seas in a port-to-port service scenario. The results of the experimental tests illustrate the capacity of the platform in managing the high number of messages transmitted by the container tracking devices (i.e., more than 3000) and its efficiency in limiting the average maximum latency and packet loss below 5.5 s and 0.9%, respectively.

“…Advanced satellite-based 5G communications in PPDR, however, are associated with a number of research challenges. There is currently a rather limited body of integrated 5G SatCom proof of concept studies available in the literature, such as those reported in [90]- [94], while the vast majority of attempts continue to either use simplified 5G emulation approaches or rely predominately on loose integration with 3G/4G where satellite and terrestrial networks are interconnected but operated independently on the level of network and spectrum management [21]. In general, the core challenges in integrating satellite networks with other 5G subnetworks (terrestrial and airborne) are associated with requirements for sophisticated cooperation mechanisms [90], [95].…”

“…In Phase 3, three generic pan-EU 5G infrastructures were funded in 5GENESIS [162], 5G EVE [163] and 5G VINNI [164], with further trials currently underway in various vertical sectors. 5G VINNI [91], [164] and 5GENESIS [94], [162] platforms both target delivery of an end-to-end 5G infrastructure that incorporate a satellite connected vehicle node to support 5G satellite backhaul connectivity for PPDR needs. 5GDrones specializes in UAVs in the context of 5G for situational surveillance and search and rescue missions [165].…”

Today, legacy PMRs continue to be the only group of tested, verified and certified technologies for the Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) sector. For the fifth generation (5G) to follow suit, substantial hands-on experimentation with functional, architectural and deployment aspects is required, and further test trials need to take place in order to inform and enable future verification and certification procedures for 5G to become a proven PPDR technology. This paper studies 5G PPDR experimentation associated with novel virtualized and cloud-native 5G technologies, architectures and deployment options, as well as feasibility studies and field performance and verifications trials involving vertical-specific 5G infrastructures and applications. Key enabling technologies, such as massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO), device-to-device (D2D), network slicing and multi-access edge computing (MEC) are discussed and 5G PPDR architecture and deployment options are investigated. A dedicated 5G PPDR experimentation facility is presented, and a case study of hands-on experimentation is provided. Two distinct scenarios are discussed, i.e., emergency augmentation of the terrestrial 5G PPDR network with rapidly deployable on-site capacities in the area of a public safety incident, and availability and reliability of decision-support PPDR applications on the field. Experience with the deployment and verification insights are accompanied by the results of quality of service (QoS) and non-functional key performance indicators (KPI) assessment that were exhibited during the experiment. The experimentation outcomes confirm the ability of the facility to support emulated laboratory experimentation specifically designed to tackle 5G challenges for this particular vertical as well as field studies recreating realistic public safety operations.INDEX TERMS 5G, mobile communications, public safety, public protection and disaster relief, mission critical communications, network architecture, network deployment, experimentation, field trial.
