Policy in The Netherlands regarding connectivity in
mobility (Oct. 2018, letter to House of Representatives)
a. Main focus is increased and optimal use of existing cellular means and services
b. V2X offers increased throughput and reliability in relation to existing connections and sensors
c. V2I is possible in The Netherlands using V2N, hence we now do not invest in the deployment of an alternative.
d. However, the further development of V2V and V2P for enhanced road safety is in our interest.
e. Offer the market and consumers sufficient freedom of choice regarding technology and applications.
f. Government supports and validates: efficiency, neutrality, interoperability and safety.
I&W connectivity strategy for V2I / I2V explained
• Investment decision: which public infrastructure design and deployment provides the best policy-related return on investment?
• Talking Traffic: high Return on Investment – Based on LTE connectivity and cloud services.
– National coverage, millions of users, >800 Intelligent Traffic Lights by Q4 2019 – Latency or reliability was never an issue
– Similar long-range C-ITS deployment programs ongoing in other countries
• Based on this positive experience:
– No additional investments in roadside short-range communication planned. Note: re-evaluation of this position is possible in the future, but will require clear indications from application deployment activities that this is needed.
– ‘it’s the data, stupid!’
– This makes the evolution of 4G to 5G an important opportunity for us.

C-ITS service
4G, 5G, …
Long-range V2I / I2V Wired
IP network
Operational condition: GDPR / cyber security
• Basic principle: every smart mobility use case (C-ITS or other) has to adhere to the GDPR
– User consent (always needed, no legislation coming to mandate C-ITS to avoid this) – Data minimalization principle
– Contractual data processing agreements when forwarding user data to third parties – Compliance audits/verification
– …
• All actors involved in long range communication implementations should arrange for appropriate contractual agreements to guarantee compliance with the actual user consent.
• Short range communication forms (ITS-G5 and PC5 sidelink) might need to overhaul certain mechanisms (e.g. CAM facility) in order to comply with the GDPR

• Main added values of 5G for road use (and corresponding examples) – Latency: e.g. traffic signal, …
– Throughput: e.g. video streaming from vehicles, … – Flexibility: e.g. real time traffic intensity, …
– Reliability: e.g. system operations, …
– Resilience: e.g. all day, every day, all locations, … – Customization possibilities: e.g. individual needs – Short-range communication: e.g. safety, …
• Relevant or even crucial for a wide range of traffic, transport, mobility use cases and stakeholders
Consultation results – beyond the hype Business case & deployment
• By 2022 100% of new cars will likely be equipped with long-range Internet connectivity capabilities
• CAPEX and OPEX dependent on stacked business
• Source of revenue is expected to be car owners
• Nationwide deployment by 2023 of all 5G technology including NR and related functionality too optimistic.
• Necessary to distinguish between different types of 5G capabilities in the roadmap, with different timelines and different needs/value.
• Main influencers of those timelines: MNO’s, automotive OEM’s, road operators, regulators, transport & logistics
• Suitable government roles: initiator, market regulator, financial aggregator (legislation, tax regulation, public investments), facilitating road operator, influencing fleet owner, coordinator of cities.
• Field trials are needed and should be use-case driven. Appropriate scale to be determined.
Opportunities
• 5G capabilities can provide:
– Improved reliability
• Connect intelligent traffic lights wirelessly to the cloud
• Guarantee connectivity with the cloud for critical C-ITS vehicles (e.g. emergency services) – Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC)
• Asset management using wireless sensors and actuators – Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communication (URLLC)
• Emergency brake light
• Intersection safety
• Vulnerable road user safety (power consumption also critical) – Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)
• Telepresence
– Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) + Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communication (URLLC)
• Cooperative perception
• Cooperative manoeuvre
• Remote vehicle control
• HD maps (creation and distribution)
12 –
I&W view on general 5G deployment in relation to road mobility usage
• Mobility, traffic, transport, logistics can be major beneficiaries from 5G deployment
• It can accelerate 5G deployment and create societal benefits
• Build on current knowledge, data intensive services and public-private cooperation's and evolve But:
- It can not be the sole accelerator
- It can not cover the entire 5G business case
- It can not assume the commercial risks of MNO’s and technology partners in telecommunications, automotive, IT & traffic sectors
- Full 5G deployment (all tools, all frequencies, all areas) is also dependent on other factors and stakeholders
- It does need other sectors (healthcare, agriculture, consumers and so forth) to be part of the deployment and stacked business case
14 Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management 18 July 2019
Enhance: improved reliability & mMTC (massive Machine Type Communication)
• Wireless intelligent traffic lights

Common actions in all tracks: Use case definition; (network) requirements assessment; network solution and deployment design; data sourcing;
use case implementation, deployment and validation; empirical network requirement quantification and network performance evaluation; stimulate acceptance and adoption; best practice definition, update of regulatory framework, etc.
Roadmap
Actions independent of the tracks: Use case prioritization; short-range V2X technology exploration (added value mode 3 & 4, technical hurdles mode 3, business models and service responsibilities, co-existence challenge); cross-operator and cross-country slice dedicated to mobility
applications; exploration of feasibility and possible positive impact on CAPEX and OPEX of novel public-private collaboration models
Common actions in all tracks
• Use case definition: detailed description on the functional level of the use case
• Network requirements assessment: transferring the use case definition into requirements regarding latency, throughput, flexibility, reliability, resilience, customization possibilities
• Network solution and deployment design: decide on the needed 5G capabilities to meet the network requirements, and decide on appropriate scale and location for pilot or (pre-)deployment.
• Data sourcing: organizing all the needed raw data sources and data/information services to be able to realize the use case. This can contain sources and services both in the public and the private sector.
• Use case implementation, deployment and validation: implementing the final use case, deploying it on the scale agreed in the deployment design action, and validating that deployment. That validation can cover both technical (functionality, performance, etc.), organizational, business-related and impact-related aspects.
• Empirical network requirement quantification: determining what the tipping point is in network performance between a use case not functioning correctly because of the network, and when it does function correctly. This based on actual measurements/experimentation with the actual use case in real life and on actual infrastructure where it is known to work well, but with artificially and gradually introduced latency/bandwidth restrictions/… . This is an important output to help MNO’s dimension their network deployments, and hence determine their business case.
• Network performance evaluation: determining if different network configurations (with some or all of the deployed 5G capabilities are turned on or off) can meet the network performance requirements that were empirically quantified. This can help MNO’s decide on the cost-benefit ratio of every 5G capability.
• Stimulate acceptance and adoption. Acceptance can target all the identified stakeholders (so more then just the end users). Adoption can be stimulated through market regulation, legislation, tax regulation, public
investments, road operation investment decisions and fleet purchase investment decision.
• Best practice definition: this action covers the lessons learned from all the previous actions. It covers all these different aspects, and is an important output for all stakeholders.
Actions independent of the tracks
• Use case prioritization: organize a dialogue between mobile operators, automotive manufacturers, road operators and policy makers in order to prioritize these use cases.
• Short-range V2X technology exploration:
• Explore (through hands-on experience) the added value of cellular short-range mode 4 V2X communication compared to long-range V2X communication using geo-messaging services.
• Facilitate/participate in research of the values and technical hurdles of mode 3 V2X.
• Translate these insights into short-range V2X business models and service responsibilities.
• Identify strategies to cope with the short-range co-existence challenge, with attention for existing activities in this domain (e.g. ETSI), and validate them in real life.
• Explore (through hands-on experience) the feasibility and added value of a cross-operator (and perhaps cross-country) slice dedicated to mobility applications.
• Explore (through analysis and/or hands-on experience) the feasibility and possible positive impact on CAPEX and OPEX of public-private collaboration models that not solely rely on public co-investment. Instead, these explored models should aim to facilitate roll-out by
optimizing local circumstances such as site construction permit procedures, relaxation of limits on antenna heights, usage of public infrastructure by mobile network operators where possible and valuable (optical fiber, power, land, real-estate and constructions such as lighting poles, traffic lights, road gantries), etc.
16 Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management 18 July 2019
Points of attention,
based on previous experience
• The technology is fascinating but dependent on acceptance, use in volume and scale. This requires both attention for both factory installed capabilities of new vehicles, and
aftermarket installed capabilities of existing vehicles.
• Use and value is in the data and all data related details: connectivity is a supporting instrument
• Organizational readiness and commercial viability are key
• New value does not mean a direct and equal distribution of costs & benefits in hard cash in new value chains
• Managing unknowns & risks need as much attention as dreaming and capturing of new opportunities
• Maintenance and management after initial development will need attention from the start and from all parties involved
• Professional road users and their stakeholders need to be targeted & involved and have the greatest adoption ability and appetite for new commercial services
• Public involvement in the mobility sector needs careful and precise tailoring.
• It’s just work, not magic

IUA: Instant Uplink Access
• Today: Scheduling Based Access. When sending data, the end user device has to request the
network first if it may transmit. This request – grant exchange takes time.
• Tomorrow: Instant Uplink Access. The end user is given the grant to transmit in advance. Once it has data to transmit, it can use that grant to
immediately transmit. Only requires software
upgrade. Benefit: lower latency when sending data.

Network slicing
• Cloud computing: virtualization of servers
– Before cloud: server = dedicated physical machine
– Cloud: server = dedicated virtual machine deployed on a pool of shared physical machines – Benefit: very easy and affordable to setup a new server that meets your demands. When your
demands change, you change easily change the characteristics of your server (scaling up or down).
• Network Slicing: virtualization of the network
– Before slicing: network = set of dedicated physical devices (radio access network, core network) – Slicing: network = set of virtual devices deployed on a pool of shared physical devices
(radio access network, core network)
– Benefit: the parameter settings of a network determine how it will perform (focus more on
bandwidth, latency, reliability, …). Different ecosystems can have different conflicting demands. By creating a virtual mobile network for that ecosystem (= a network slice), every ecosystem can be served appropriately, without providing additional physical infrastructure.
Network slicing

NFV: Network Function Virtualization
• A technique to enable network slicing.
– Before NFV: the core network contains multiple servers, responsible for different functions of the core network (roaming, billing, security, etc.). Every server is a dedicated physical machine
– NFV: those servers that perform the network functions become virtual machines on a new cloud infrastructure of the core network.
– Benefit: becomes easy to create a new virtual instance of a network function.
Therefore it becomes easy to create a new virtual core network, as part of a new network slice.
MEC: Multi-access Edge Computing (formerly Mobile Edge Computing)
• Today: cloud infrastructure is physically deployed at a datacenter that can be located anywhere.
– Typically a few datacenters serve a large geographical area. E.g.: Amazon serves the Western Europe region with 4 datacenters in Frankfurt, Ireland, London and Paris.
30 Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management 18 July 2019
Illustration:
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/
MEC: Multi-access Edge Computing (formerly Mobile Edge Computing)
• Today: cloud infrastructure is physically deployed at a datacenter that can be located anywhere.
– Such datacenters have no formal relationship with the Mobile Network Operator (MNO) or Internet Service Provider of the end user. Services deployed on these
datacenters can be consumed by anyone with an Internet connection. They are called over the top (OTT) services (e.g. Netflix, iTunes, etc.)
– The physical data path between end user device and OTT service can be quite long: end user device → radio access network → Internet router A → Internet router B →
… → Internet router Z → datacenter → service. Every step in that path introduces some extra latency
MEC: Multi-access Edge Computing (formerly Mobile Edge Computing)
• MEC: cloud infrastructure is physically deployed at the edge of the cellular network (and more general: at the edge of any network)
– The physical data path between end user device and service deployed on MEC
infrastructure (sometimes called local breakout) becomes much shorter: user device → radio access network → MEC infrastructure → service (and back). Benefit: lower latency
32 Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management 18 July 2019
Illustration:
https://www.saguna.net/blog/mobile-cdn-extending-the-reach-of-content-delivery-networks/
MEC: Multi-access Edge Computing (formerly Mobile Edge Computing)
• MEC characteristics
– Physical infrastructure needs to be geographically dispersed: from large central datacenter to plethora of small server setups across the country.
– MEC facilities are part of the mobile network itself. An end user can only benefit from MEC if the service provider has established a formal relationship with the MNO of the end user, by deploying its service on the MEC facility of that MNO.
– For cost optimizations, MNO’s can make use of the same third party MEC infrastructure provider that they all connect to their own core network.
Uu: Internet uplink
• The LTE radio interface between the UE (= User Equipment, device such as smartphone, connected car, etc.) and the eNodeB (= LTE base station)
• Abbreviation of E-UTRAN Uu
• Allows data transfer between the eNodeBs and the UEs, basically providing the Internet uplink to end-user devices.
34 Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management 18 July 2019

PC5: sidelink to other mobile devices
• Provides direct short range communication between vehicles
• Also known as LTE-V, an evolution of LTE Direct (which provides device-to-device communication)
• Can make use of same 5.9 GHz band as ITS-G5 (3 channels of 10 MHz).
• When used at the same location and the same specific channel as ITS-G5, both technologies will disturb each other. Causes:
– Other way of representing data as radio waves (physical layer)
– Other way of deciding which device is allowed to transmit when to avoid interfering each others transmissions.

PC5: mode 3 & mode 4

Mode 3 Mode 4
Illustration:
http://www.3gpp.org/news-events/3gpp-news/1798-v2x_r14
• In LTE and 5G, a schedule determines which end user device is allowed to transmit when on which
channel.
• This avoids that multiple devices transmit on the same channel at the same time, since that would disturb both transmissions (like with a walkie-talkie)
• When communicating with the base station on the Uu interface, the base station determines the schedule.
• When communicating with another end user device on the PC5 interface, the mode defines who will determine the schedule:
– Mode 3: base station determines the schedule
→ V2V only possible within network coverage
– Mode 4: end user devices themselves define the schedule → no network coverage needed for V2V communication
NR: New Radio
• The global standard for a unified, more capable 5G wireless air interface. Makes use of several new or improved radio techniques to achieve that improved performance:
Illustration:
https://blog.3g4g.co.uk/2016/09/5g-new-radio-nr-architecture-options.html
NR: New Radio
• Can operate on multiple frequency bands
– 700 MHz : longest range, lowest throughput
– 3.5 GHz (aka small cells): medium range, high throughput.
• Most relevant band for NR.
• Requires the addition of many base stations compared to the current LTE deployment.
– Uplink / downlink decoupling can help:
» in downlink beamforming and massive MIMO can be done by base station → can realize coverage with 3.5 GHz cells using 1800 MHz network cell sites
» in uplink the end user device cannot perform beamforming and massive MIMO (device too small), and hence has a smaller range on 3.5 GHz then today on 1800 MHz. Hence the size of cell is limited by the uplink limitation
» Splitting uplink/downlink, organizing uplink in 1800 MHz and downlink in 3.5 GHz allows high download speeds without site densification.
• In The Netherlands, no testing allowed above line Amsterdam-Coevorden, because of the military satellite station in Burum which operates on 3.5 Ghz
– 26 GHz : short range, very high throughput.

Lessons learned with Talking Traffic
• It works! Latency was never an issue. The majority of day 1 & 1.5 C-ITS use cases is supported today by TT, using cloud services and LTE network connectivity.
• It is cost-effective (infrastructure & end-user side, e.g. nationwide MSI/MSI coverage with limited TCO public side, communication network is multi-purpose, …)
• It can manage privacy, security and liability using proven ICT techniques
• It can be quickly deployed/scaled up in terms of coverage & reach
• It can be quickly adopted by consumers (devices in place (98% potential reach), high acceptance of RTTI services)
• It has proven business models (MNO and RTTI markets)
• It is easily extendible in terms of use cases
• It does not require an organizational big-bang on the public side
