5G and the mobility sector: 5G-LOGINNOV and other H2020 projects at the forefront of innovation |
|
|
 On June 23, the three EU funded projects 5G-LOGINNOV, SHOW, and 5GMETA organised the joint workshop “5G: Challenges and Opportunities for CAD, Transport & Logistics and Big Data” and shared best practices and knowledge on 5G applications across the automotive, logistics and urban mobility sectors.
Featuring experts from the three consortia, the event offered a chance to peek at the forefront of innovation: 5G-LOGINNOV, which aims to support new type of IoT-5G connectivity devices by deploying new CAD and Logistics as a Service in real-life port-city areas, offered an overview on the latest developments on next generation of 5G-CAD terminals and ports, while new opportunities for data-driven services and data monetization had been described by 5G META (5GMETA is working towards creating a flexible telematics platform for pipelining car captured and generated data). Finally, SHOW’s partners Maria Gkemou – CERTH/HIT, and Pekka Eloranta – Sitowise, focused on 5G’s applications to urban mobility, while Peter Schmitting – ERTICO – ITS Europe, delivered a presentation on standardisation.

Following the success of last edition, the main scope of CROWNCOM 2021 is on innovations and applications with the cognitive-based solutions in the context of 5G and beyond. Cognitive Radio and Sharing mechanisms have been considered for sub 6GHz bands broadband systems mainly. Hotspot research topics on Cognitive Radio in various contexts include spectrum sharing, dynamic spectrum access, increased system flexibility through access to rich context information, virtualization and management, etc. With the development of intelligent algorithms, the new 5G paradigm and its expected evolutions into 6G raised unprecedented expectations in terms of broadband services, latency and convergence of broadband systems with IoT networks. In this context, CROWNCOM 2021 will encompass all research aspects related to 5G and beyond systems that may benefit from the introduction of cognitive mechanisms, including most recent innovations, trends, examples of state-of-the-art industrial deployments, contributions to standards and policies. Besides, to provide a forum for the world-class researchers to gather and share their research achievements and ideas, all papers related to communication signal processing, satellite communications and networking, aerial communications networking and protocols, IoT and IoE, electronic countermeasures, and artificial intelligence are solicited. EAI CROWNCOM 2021 will be held by Hebei Normal University in Shijiazhuang City, capital of the Hebei Province. Shijiazhuang City is ‘National Advanced City of Science and Education’, with strong scientific and technological capability. Starting from 2020, 5G will be commercially available on a large scale, and the coverage of 5G networks in cities and hot spots will be improved, gradually extending to rural areas. In Shijiazhuang, there are 36 scenic areas of Class A and 33 demonstration sites for industrial and agricultural tourism. The people of Shijiazhuang welcome friends from all over the world.
