Abstract

This paper describes the design of a testbed for experimental validation and trialing of 5G vertical applications. The paper introduces the challenges that 5G aims to solve with regard to the spectrum demand and the convergence of different wireless communication services. The European-level 5G research program 5G Public Private Partnership (5G-PPP) is a coordinated European approach to secure European leadership in 5G. The 5G-PPP has developed a 5G Pan-European Trials Roadmap, which includes a comprehensive strategy for coordinated international preliminary and pre-commercial trials. The objective in designing Turku University of Applied Sciences (TUAS) testbed infrastructure in Turku, Finland, has been in building a testbed that can be used to contribute to the development, standardization and trialing of wireless communications in a diverse selection of scenarios and vertical applications. In addition, the paper describes the spectrum monitoring capabilities at TUAS facilities.

Acknowledgements

Turku University of Applied Sciences is grateful for companies, especially Nokia, Teleste, Digita, Fairspectrum, and Satel, that have supported testbed infrastructure development in EUREKA-Celtic [103], 5thGear [7], Trial [104] and Industrial Internet [105] programs funded in Finland by the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation (Tekes) [6]. The testbed will be further developed. This work is supported in part by Tekes under the project Wireless for Verticals (WIVE). WIVE is a part of 5G Test Network Finland (5GTNF), and in part by the European Commission under the 5G-PPP project 5G-Xcast (H2020-ICT-2016-2 call, grant number 761498).
