Program

Consolidated program of the workshop:

  • The workshop is planned to be a half-day event and has the following programme agenda

14:00

Welcome and presentation by the workshop chair - Dario Sabella (Intel)

14:05

Keynote, 5G network functions optimized for automotive use cases  - pilot realization in France-Luxemburg-Germany corridor

(Dirk Hetzer, Deutsche Telekom AG, Technical Manager  in the 5GcroCo project)

Focus of the presentation will be an end-to-end architecture for cross-border network handover, end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) with network slicing, Mobile Edge Computing/Cloud (MEC) and positioning architecture in 5G networks. Teleoperated driving (ToD), dynamic HD map update service (HD mapping) and Anticipated Cooperative Collision Avoidance (ACCA) are the use cases in the 5GCroCo project to present the power of new 5G solutions.
