Innovative antenna systems for FRMCS – field trials at 1.9 GHz
The Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) will be the successor to GSM-R. It will be based on 5G technologies and will enhance mobile train-to ground communications in rail operations. Improved radio access and core network architectures as well as innovative antenna systems in FRMCS will enable higher transmission rates, lower latencies and high reliability for any future data transfers within the scope of the digitalization and automation of railway services.
This article focuses on multi-antenna radio technologies and their benefits for FRMCS networks at 1.9 GHz. It presents a field trial project which has been jointly undertaken by DB Netz AG and DB Erzgebirgsbahn, Ericsson and Rohde & Schwarz under the “Digitale Schiene Deutschland” (DSD) sector initiative.
