Future Rail Communication - Implementation Scenarios for LTE
Abstract
Today, Jernbaneverket uses GSM-R as their standard for cellular communication. However, this will change in the future and a proposed solution is to use LTE as the next generation standard. This work shall therefore investigate different implementation scenarios for LTE. It shall also shortly discuss the opportunities it brings to Jernbaneverket and other rail operators in general. Specifically, this means to explain different applications where LTE can be utilized and give extra benefits and features to Jernbaneverket.
