Performance of LTE in High Speed Railway Scenarios Impact on Transfer Delay and Integrity of ETCS Messages

چکیده
GSM-Railways (GSM-R) is an obsolete mobile technology with a number of shortcomings in terms of capacity and capability. These shortcomings become a major issue for railways as GSM-R may limit the number of running trains in some areas and it cannot support advanced data services. Hence, alternative technologies, such as LTE, have to be considered as a future railway communication technology. This paper presents an analysis of transfer delay and data integrity of European Train Control System (ETCS) messages transmitted over LTE network. The analysis is made using OPNET models of a high speed railway line and LTE systems.

متن کاملEvaluation of ETCS performance with LTE as alternative railway communication network using OPNET
GSM-Railways (GSM-R) is a communication mobile network designed to fulfill specific communication needs of railways. GSM-R is being widely deployed across Europe and other countries around the world for providing railway voice and train control services (ETCS). Despite that, GSM-R already shows various shortcomings in terms of capacity and support for additional data services. This triggers the...
متن کاملHandover Analysis on High Speed Train with Doppler Frequency Spread
This paper investigates the handover performance on high speed train (HST) via different speed under three scenarios, which are viaduct environment, cutting environment and urban area. To provide stable wireless service, we adopt Long Term Evolution (LTE) for high speed railway (HST) system. Moreover, we consider the effect of speed on handover procedure. Interchannel interference (ICI) caused ...

متن کاملConcise Paper: TCP Performance over Mobile Networks in High-speed Mobility Scenarios
Recently, the performance of mobile data networks has been evaluated from many aspects, e.g., TCP/IP protocols, comparison with WiFi or even satellite communication, under different movements within a metropolis area. Nevertheless, the result is still unknown in high-speed mobility scenarios and in a scale that crosses different metropolis and geographic areas. To fill in this blank, we carry o...
