Key takeaways from MWC’19 |
![]() |
5G IA /5G PPP has a big presence at Mobile World Congress 2019 (24-27 Feb, 2019) and highlighted many demos, key achievements and discussed the evolution of 5G in Europe.
Three demos were displayed on the 5G IA stand 7K17.5G-MEDIA: Ultra High Definition (UHD) over Content Delivery Network5G Media displayed their programmable platform in the context of “Ultra High Definition (UHD) over Content Delivery Network”. This enables Media Service Providers (MSPs) to build flexible and adaptable media distribution service chains—made up of virtualized functions—and deliver UHD media content while users are moving in a geographically distributed 5G network. 5G-MoNArch: Smart Sea Port5G-MoNArch showed t ONE5G: Serving megacities and industrial areas through 5G technologies
Specifically, ONE5G showed: (a) small-cell 5G multi-connectivity for reliability enhancement in industrial environments, (b) E2E monitoring schemes based on the actual user quality of experience (QoE) as enablers for the future network management and optimisation in megacities, (c) slice negotiation and management functionalities. Five 5G PPP Demos were on the 5GBARCELONA/MWCapital stand: Hall Congress Square, CS405GCity: Neutral Hosting and Video Acquisition & Production
The service acquires multiple, high-quality live videos from the event and uses Wi-Fi to stream them through the platform to a designated cloud-based application. Supported by 5G, this type of service can revolutionise, for example, how journalists work, since it allows them to immediately deliver content, on the move, to audiences. Moreover, such services can also support the public’s engagement in media production for big events. MATILDA: Public Protection and Disaster Relief
The solution was provided with the iMON product suite designed for real-time intervention monitoring. The suite offers public safety agencies modular communications capabilities, a common operational picture (COP) in real time, and a suite of IoT-supported intervention management tools with on-site sensing and user or asset tracking capabilities. 5GTANGO: Communications and immersive media
The immersive media demo showed how 5G networks will enhance the experience of end-users regarding media services by improving their immersiveness into multiple 360º and non-360º video streams and the integration of their social media channels. This allowed, for example, end-users to enjoy sports events in a new dimension. 5GCAR: Lane Merge, See Through, Vulnerable Road User
5GCAR showed: Lane Merge – sharing local awareness and driving intentions, and negotiates the planned trajectories for coordinated lane merge; See Through – perception extension built on the basis of exchanging data from different sources to detect objects and vehicles in the non-line of sight; Vulnerable Road User – exchanging information on detecting the presence of road users with increased positioning accuracy. 5GCroCo: Tele-operated Driving, HD Maps, Collision Avoidance5GCroCo dem Five 5G PPP demos on other Stands @MWCIoRL: Slot format and transmissionIoRL displayed a propo
5G-Xcast: MBMS operation on Demand. 5G-Xcast sho The demonstrator highlighted the use of MooD (MBMS operation on Demand) to activate a broadcast delivery mode to cope with the demand of users getting connected to the same programme via unicast. 5G-CORAL: E2E 360° video streaming
The visitors experienced the automated deployment of the E2E video streaming and 360 video streaming from either camera location, at a fraction of the bandwidth. 5G-PICTURE: Time-Sensitive Network5G-PICTURE pres The proposed solution leveraged TransPacket’s FUSION deterministic delay technology for guaranteed service transport, and ADVA’s flexible G.metro DWDM optical layer. Such a solution is capable of low latency and timing accuracy for supporting the emerging 5G applications, which will be eventually showcased in the 5G smart city testbed in Bristol, UK. 5G-TRANSFORMER: Deploying a containerized ns-3/LENA-based LTE mobile Network Service through the 5G-TRANSFORMER platform

Key takeaways from 5G SDA for CAM stakeholder WS |
![]() |
On 7 February 2019, the European Commission held the 5G SDA for CAM (5G Strategic Deployment Agenda for Connected and Automated Mobility) stakeholder workshop with all stakeholders interested in the deployment of 5G networks along roads to enable Connected and Automated Mobility Services.
The workshop gathered more than one hundred professionals and policy makers. It was open to key stakeholder including telecom operators and vendors, automobile manufacturers and suppliers, road operators, transport authorities, as well as actors involved in road safety and security. The workshop had been carefully prepared under the leadership of the 5G PPP Automotive Working Group which produced an executive outline of the 5G Strategic Deployment Agenda for CAM as well as a more detailed White Paper providing preliminary scenarios and options for deployment. The workshop identified valuable elements for the upcoming development of the SDA. For additional information, have a look here. |

Key outputs from the 5G Vertical User Workshop |
![]() |
On 12 and 13 February 2019, the 5G Vertical User Workshop, an initiative of 3GPP Market Representative Partners 5GAA, 5G IA, 5G-ACIA and PSCE, was organised as a collaborative event for strategic dialogue between industries and 3GPP by exchanging on future needs and upcoming cellular standard developments.
Over the course of both days the experts mentioned discussed at a general level the existing procedures and process ongoing at this moment within 3GPP in relation to past, present and future Release cycles, with work on Rel. 16 set for completion by December 2019. From 3GPP, there were focused presentations on experiences in the Standardisation process in the areas of Critical Communications, Industry Automation and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X). There was also a dedicated session led by the Chair and Secretary General of the 5G Infrastructure Association, the industry association element of the EU funded 5G Public-Private-Partnership, which focused on the numerous phases of the 5G PPP and the numerous ongoing projects that develop and test solutions; and how best to integrate outcomes of these projects in terms of requirements, into 3GPP. To conclude, an interactive panel session chaired by Jean-Pierre Bienaimé, 5G IA Secretary General, with the support of the 5GAA CTO, with representatives from 3GPP, 5G Verticals Associations and 5G PPP Projects, tried to summarise the insights from workshop.
