Outputs from 5G-LOGINNOV, FUDGE 5G and Affordable 5G Workshop |
||
 5G-LOGINNOV project, together with FUDGE-5G and Affordable 5G, organised a joint online workshop last June. The combined event “Accelerating 5G Innovation in Europe. Challenges and Opportunities for Private Networks focusing on CAD, Transport & Logistics, Smart City, Manufacturing” addressed technology-specific topics and discussed in detail the implementation of 5G technologies to contribute to the debate about the advancement in the adoption of 5G technologies in several sectors. 5G-LOGINNOV, FUDGE-5G and Affordable 5G projects matured their 5G expertises in relation to the optimisation of traffic operations at ports and logistics, the delivery of a solution covering the needs of private and enterprise networks and the definition of a 5G architecture for private networks allowing interoperability and customization for industry verticals.

5G for CAM White Paper |
||
 The 5G for CAM Working Group of the 6G Industry Association present this contribution to the ongoing global brainstorming on 6G by providing our initial views on what 6G might look like and what implications this will have for CAM. The paper reflects on the lessons learnt during the execution of the key 5G PPP projects which have been working on 5G for CAM and contribute to identifying, from the very beginning, new mobility requirements for the evolution of 5G and 6G communication systems. The paper also identifies the impending new technologies that are being considered for 6G and have the potential to have a highly positive impact on CAM.

 The Second IEEE International Mediterranean Conference on Communications and Networking (MeditCom) took place from 5-8 September 2022 in Athens, Greece.
The workshop Session “NetApp Platforms into Beyond 5G and 6G Networks” held on Monday 5 September was co-organised from eight ICT-41 Projects (Smart5Grid, EVOLVED-5G, 5G-ERA, 5GASP, 5GMediaHUB, 5G-INDUCE, VITAL-5G and 5G-EPICENTRE) and the aim was to bring together all the NetApp stakeholders, discuss their experiences so far and pave the way for NetApps into 6G to span all domains RAN/CORE/Transport/Devices/ Dr. Katsaros presented the definition and concept of a NetApp from a 5G-IANA perspective. Smart5Grid project also participated, with physical attendance, in the hybrid joint Workshop. During this workshop, Antonello Corsi and Giampaolo Fiorentino from ENG, had the opportunity to present the Smart5Grid main achievements of the first 20 months of the project. In more detail, they illustrated the NetApp definition, descriptor, the Smart5Grid platform and presented Use Case 3 (Millisecond Level Precise Distribution Generation Control). A list of possible extensions foreseen for the upcoming 6G networks was also provided. Harilaos Koumaras from EVOLVED-5G, presented “B5G programmability and NetApps Enablers for XR and Metaverse new business opportunities at Panel P1. 6G Enablers for Extended Reality and the Metaverse. |

5G backed Situational Awareness for improved road tunnel safety |
||
 5G IANA issued a position paper on 5G backed Situational Awareness for improved road tunnel safety.
Although safety issues have been addressed by using multiple active and passive safety systems in modern road tunnels, 5G can provide further improvements. Based on the 3GPP V2X standards, one of the main benefits would be collecting additional data – as of today most data collected in the tunnel come from sensors installed in the tunnel, while data sent by cars (e.g., V2X) and potentially also from the individuals can improve insight into the situation in the tunnel, being in normal conditions or in case of an accident (see also 5G-IANA blog post https://www.5g-iana.eu/2022/03/11/role-of-5g-networks-in-vehicle-to-infrastructure-telecommunications/ on 5G and V2X communications). Next to this, 5G as a global standard supporting industry requirements, enables applying many functionalities in standardized way (cyber security, distributed cloud-edge architecture, network automation, AI/ML, V2X, precise positioning, etc.) and enables unified data exchange among all stakeholders relevant to the tunnel security and safety, i.e., tunnel operator, traffic control centre, Police, fire-fighters, ambulance, Civil Protection especially in case they are located cross-border. Today, data exchange among various stakeholders still remains an issue. In particular, data exchange among Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) services is recognized and addressed as a major issue on the EU level mainly due to the cross-border incompatibility of communication systems. For the tunnel operator, it is required to be aware of situation in the tunnel at any time – to detect anomalies as soon as possible and to act with the goal of minimizing the (potential) damage. The perception of environmental elements and events with respect to time and/or space is called a “Situational Awareness” [4], which is a critical, yet often elusive, foundation for successful decision-making we want to improve by introducing 5G and therefore extend collecting data and enable access to data for multiple stakeholders, including those located cross-border.
Some situations, however, require first responders’ units to intervene. E.g., in case of a traffic accident in the tunnel, alarm notification would be forwarded to the public-safety answering point, as well, other relevant data and video streams should be forwarded to first responders to help them create “situational awareness” and to effectively commence the intervention. When first responders leaving station building, the system may also start collecting certain data related to the first responders’ unit (e.g., location of vehicles, speed, vehicle diagnostics) in order to complement data related to the incident itself. “Situational awareness” is of great importance for the intervention planning from its very beginning until its completion. In the beginning, incident commander can decide how many rescuers, what kind of vehicles and how many vehicles should be dispatched and also whether additional units are required (e.g., cross-border units). During the rescue phase, the incident commander can observe how the rescuing is progressing, what operations should follow at certain time, and whether additional resources should be activated. Based on the situation, the incident commander also instructs tunnel control centre operator to commit certain action, e.g., stop the traffic through the tunnel, stop or increase air circulation in the tunnel, etc. When the intervention is over, data collected and stored can be later of great importance for the intervention analysis. |

INSPIRE-5Gplus accepted by the ETSI ZSM |
||
 Recently, the INSPIRE-5Gplus project has been accepted by the ETSI ZSM (Zero-touch network and Service Management) standardization group, for carrying out a proof of concept (PoC), based on the INSPIRE-5Gplus architecture and solutions.
It is named as “PoC #6: Security SLA assurance in 5G network slices”. This PoC shows how a predefined set of security SLAs (Service Level Agreements) associated with a network slide are implemented. It also exhibits security closed-loop automation, that is how the network can react and maintain the expected level of security, in the cases of security breaches. During the next months, INSPIRE-5Gplus partners will work on the implementation of this proof of concept. It is expected that the enablers will be developed in INSPIRE-5Gplus and their integration through the architecture based on the ETSI ZSM principles will serve as a demonstration of the future security management capabilities for Beyond 5G networks. A public demonstration is also scheduled, in the incoming ETSI Security Conference 2022 held on 3-5 October on ETSI headquarters.
