— Vehicle onboard sensors form a tool — Lane departure is a problem

— Cat-M and/or NB-IoT is a tool
— C-V2X is another tool — Vehicle safety is another
— 5G New Radio another set of problems
— 4G/5G Network Slicing is a new tool!

What kinds of challenges could become addressable with what tool?

— A 5G subscription is counted as such when associated
with a 3GPP Release 15 device
and network
— 5G smartphones become available during 2019,
several service providers are expected to
commercially launch 5G.
— The additional number of cellular IoT connections is
expected to reach 4.1 billion in 2024
— Worldwide, service providers have announced
the deployment of 85 cellular IoT networks using
Cat-M and/or NB-IoT

5GAA working areas

Joint Ecosystem Vehicle to smart device

Create a joint eco system between V2X-based vehicle interface for
car – smartphone - home smartphone controlled functions

Push V2N Edge computing

Ensure functional rollout of V2N Undertline Edge Computing as
based applications in order to reach one of the key elements of the
broad penetration fast connected future

New Radio Interoperability

“Define the next step” - Ensure cross OEM cars and
accelerate definition of 5G-V2X cross operator networks can
based on 5G New Radio „speak“ with each other
