Project description
Immersive video for car and drone applications harnessing AI and 5G mmWave technology
Real-time video streaming enabling immersive video content merging the physical view with digital data can play an important role in control, performance and safety when it comes to fast-moving cars and aerial drones. Achieving it requires ultra-high data rate services and global operability. The EU-funded PriMO-5G project will demonstrate an end-to-end 5G system providing immersive video services for moving objects focused on vehicular and aerial drone settings. The system leverages AI-assisted communications and 5G mmWave technology, a revolutionary cellular technology accessing massive bandwidth once thought impossible to achieve. Cross-continental testbeds will ensure interoperable 5G core networks.
Objective
The PriMO-5G project addresses the area of “a) Focus on mmWave and super broadband services” in the call “EUK-02-2018: 5G” of the Horizon 2020 Work Program 2018-2020.
The main aim of the PriMO-5G project is to demonstrate an end-to-end 5G system providing immersive video services for moving objects. This will be done by cross-continental testbeds that integrate radio access and core networks developed by different project partners. The cross-continental testbeds will show the end-to-end operations of envisaged use cases. To achieve this aim, the PriMO-5G project will develop a set of solutions enabling the ultra-high data rate services for fast-moving cars and drones. The development includes mmWave radio technologies, interoperable 5G core networks, and AI-assisted communications.
The project contributes to the standardization of 5G Phase 2 and beyond, identifies possible regulatory bottlenecks that need to be solved in order to enable the system to operate globally, assesses the economic and business aspects related to the use of 5G for immerse video service in vehicular and aerial drone settings. The consortium benefits from leading industrial partners both in Europe and Korea who are active key members of major standardization fora, regulatory bodies, and open source communities. Academic partners will also influence the spectrum policies through national regulatory authorities.
The PriMO-5G consortium members represent the full range of competence and expertise covering the whole value chain in a complementary way to achieve the project’s objectives. The consortium draws on skills from world-leading manufacturers, competent operator, top universities, and innovative SMEs in Europe and Korea, thus ensuring close cooperation and balanced effort between the two regions. The project will foster a long-term partnership between the two regions, which will help Europe and Korea retain the competitive edge in the fierce global 5G competition.
