Fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks will support connected automated mobility (CAM) in cross-border corridors. Future 5G enhancements beyond Release 15 are crucial for addressing seamless roaming and enabling highly automated driving.
Area of Science:
- Telecommunications Engineering
- Automotive Technology
- Transportation Systems
Background:
- Fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks are foundational for connected automated mobility (CAM), particularly for advanced automation levels in the automotive industry.
- Cross-border corridors, especially within the European Union, are prioritized for 5G CAM deployment due to their significance in terrestrial transport.
- Current 5G technology faces communication challenges in cross-border contexts, such as seamless roaming, which are critical for highly automated driving.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify future 5G enhancements, specifically from Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) releases beyond Release 15, that will support connected automated mobility (CAM) in cross-border corridors.
- To outline how these future 5G features will enable highly automated driving in challenging cross-border environments.
- To identify and address open issues related to 5G implementation for cross-border CAM.
Main Methods:
- Identification of representative use cases for connected automated mobility (CAM) in cross-border corridors.
- Definition of communication requirements for each identified CAM use case.
- Proposal of the most relevant future 5G enhancements (beyond Release 15) for each use case.
Main Results:
- Specific 5G enhancements from 3GPP releases beyond Release 15 are identified as critical for supporting CAM in cross-border corridors.
- A mapping between CAM use cases, their communication requirements, and relevant future 5G features is established.
- Key challenges and open issues for the deployment of 5G for cross-border CAM are highlighted.
Conclusions:
- Future 5G enhancements are essential to overcome the communication barriers for highly automated driving in cross-border transport corridors.
- The study provides a roadmap for leveraging advanced 5G capabilities to realize the potential of connected automated mobility.
- Further research and development are needed to address the identified open issues for seamless cross-border CAM.

Drift Current:
The drift of charge carriers is started by an external electric field (E). Charged particles, such as electrons and holes, experience an acceleration between collisions with lattice atoms. For electrons, this results in a drift velocity (vd) given by:
