Evaluation and validation of connected mobility in real open systems beyond 5GS

Project description

5G: Versatile support of diverse verticals

In the rapid evolution towards 5G and the anticipation of 6G, vertical industries such as connected and automated mobility (CAM) face significant challenges. While 5G promises to expand capabilities beyond mere connectivity, certain verticals like CAM encounter hurdles due to specific and stringent requirements. Besides, despite the modular architecture of 5G, configuring networks and devices to meet these demands remains a time-consuming manual process, hindering 5G adoption and innovation. In this context, the EU-funded ENVELOPE project will reimagine the 5G architecture, providing tailored interfaces and dynamic network (re-)configuration. With three trial sites across Greece, Italy and the Netherlands, ENVELOPE promises to enhance CAM services and pave the way for seamless integration of verticals across the board.

Objective

5G adv. and 6G aim to expand the set of supported verticals and provide enhanced capabilities beyond connectivity. 5G CAM vertical services are a broad range of services in and around vehicles, including both safety-related and other services enabled or supported by 5G. 5GS has been built as a modular architecture to support any vertical running on top in a vertical-agnostic manner. However, it is realized that certain verticals (like CAM) have specific and strict requirements. Although significant progress has been made in supporting verticals, the corresponding necessary configuration of the network and end-devices is a time-consuming manual process that requires tight coordination at technical and business levels across the verticals, the vendors, the network operator, and even the end-users. This hinders not only the greater adoption of 5GS but also the uptake of novel CAM UCs and the modernization of existing ones that require a tighter integration with the underlying network. The main objective of ENVELOPE is to advance and open up the reference 5G adv. architecture, and also to transform it into a vertical-oriented with the necessary interfaces tailored to the CAM UCs that i) expose network capabilities to verticals, ii) provide vertical-information to the network; iii) enable verticals to dynamically request and modify certain network aspects in an open, transparent and easy to use, semi-automated way. ENVELOPE aims to deliver 3 large-scale B5G trial sites in Italy, Netherlands and Greece for CAM services and beyond, implementing functionalities tailored to the CAM services and advanced exposure capabilities. Although focused on the CAM vertical, the resulting developments will be reusable by any vertical. The ENVELOPE architecture will serve as an envelope that can cover, accommodate and support any type of vertical services. The applicability of ENVELOPE capabilities will be demonstrated via the project CAM UCs and via at least 9 open call projects.
