📋 Tender Overview
Deutsche Telekom BMW Group Valeo Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies Inc. announced the world first demonstration of automated driving application supported by 5G Standalone SA network slicing with controlled network features for Quality of Service QoS. Reliable network connectivity is a prerequisite for many emerging automotive use cases. In trials the partners explored how 5G SA network slicing with different QoS features support end-to-end automotive use case scenarios. Network slicing is a key feature of 5G SA. Slices can be tailored to applications and use cases with different QoS requirements in terms of performance security or latency. Using the User Equipment Route Selection Policy URSP feature the device was able to dynamically select and connect to multiple slices simultaneously. In addition a Network API which exposes network capabilities was used to request a defined QoS-level from the network. This was requested via a Quality on Demand QoD network API. The tests showed the capability of all these features combining to meet the QoS demands of mission-critical applications under various network load situations.Nicolai Martin SVP BMW Group Driving Experience says The BMW Group sees the activities in the telecommunications industry with 5G as a central enabler for many innovative automotive features and also for Automated Valet Parking. It is crucial for such a new solution that several industries work closely together to offer the customer a valuable benefit. The aim is to build a standardized and interoperable AVP ecosystem. The BMW Group welcomes activities in the telecommunications industry especially the CAMARA project. This is an important enabler for future services.Claudia Nemat Board member Technology and Innovation Deutsche Telekom says Deutsche Telekom is excited to be part of this activity to demonstrate the capabilities of advanced network features like 5G network slicing with integrated APIs to meet the Quality of Service demands of automotive use cases. The close cross industry collaboration is essential to co-innovate and develop new solutions that bring customer benefits. This is an enabler for future services. Eric Ekudden Group CTO Senior Vice President and Head of Technology Strategy Ericsson says Ericsson has provided the End-to-End Network for a successful Proof of Concept. We continue to support realization of Use Cases using network slicing and exposure capability to monetize 5G network investment for Communication Service Provider CSPEnrico Salvatori SVP President Qualcomm EuropeMEA Qualcomm Europe Inc. says We are proud to be part of this project utilizing Qualcomm Technologies long-established expertise in 5G and wireless innovation to help enable advanced features like 5G network slicing for reliable interoperability and improved quality-of-service. We look forward to continue collaborating with partners across the automotive ecosystem to usher in the next generation of autonomous driving applications.Marc Vrecko Business Group President Valeo Comfort Driving Assistance Systems says Communication between infrastructure and vehicles is a safety-critical element. Automated Valet Parking developed in cooperation with BMW Group and tested with Deutsche Telekom relies in part on Valeo software and systems both embedded in the car and installed in the parking infrastructure itself. Testing 5G interfaces jointly with Deutsche Telekom convinced us of the performance of cellular networks. To make mobility safer and smarter Valeo has integrated advanced driver assistance systems ADAS into one of the main focuses of its innovations.
