5G Wireless Communications With High Mobility

The fifth generation (5G) wireless communication networks are expected to support communications with high mobility, with a speed up to 500 km/h. 5G communications will have numerous applications in high mobility scenarios, such as high speed railways (HSRs), vehicular ad hoc networks, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) communications. The 5G systems will provide advanced communication platforms enabling reliable transmission for the Wireless Train Backbone (WLTB) or Wireless Train Control & Management System (WTCMS). They will also enable new services or enhancements for vehicular communications in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The coordination and swarming control for UAVs will also benefit from 5G capabilities, as UAV-based 5G infrastructure modeling and improvement have begun receiving attention.
