Radio System for Railways
• What is the needs for Radio Communications in the railway environment - Voice - M2M - GSM-R
• ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) - Signalling system (ETCS) - Radio system (GSM-R)
• Differences in legal approach in Europe between telecommunications and transport sector (rail) - Rail interoperability - Radio Spectrum Policy Program - Standardisation in Europe
• Co-existence with public operators of UMTS and LTE systems - Unwanted emissions - Strong wide band signals - Improved GSM-R terminal
• Future Radio System for the railway

What is the needs for Radio Communications in the railway environment
Voice Driver <-> Dispatcher PtP, Group call, Functional addressing <-> Driver <-> Onboard Maintenance <-> Maintenance PtP, (Group call) Dispatcher Requirement: Very high availability, specially in disturbed or jammed traffic situations

What is the needs for Radio Communications in the railway environment
M2M CS data for ERTMS at least to 2022, after that migration to IP based communication Very high availability and quality 100% of the time, everywhere and at all speeds. Drop call rate less than 1/100h even at high speed approx. 12 return trips between Sundsvall and Umeå (all reasons counted including mobiles and application level) Packet domain Communication for maintenance system, passenger information system, SCADA system, power meters, eco driving

GSM-R have been in operation since year 2000 on the line between Malmö and Copenhagen The number of subscriber is 7000 today The system handle 300 000 call/month 40 000 call/month to train 90 000 call/month to traffic controllers 5000 ETCS call/month Trafikverket have invested 2 billion SEK in the radio system and it is a condition for ERTMS (25 billion SEK to 2030
14 year with GSM-R in Europe and Sweden

Dimensioning rules for high availability
• Core system in well protected sites with geographical redundancy • Duplicated transmission in physical separated routs to all BTSs • Duplicated TRX in all BTSs • Duplicated antenna system • All BTS sites have at least 10 h of UPS • Power supply on core sites is protected with duplicated UPS and
duplicated diesel generators

ERTMS L2
With ERTMS L2 the signals is removed and all movement authoritys is send by the Radio Block Central over GSM-R to the engine. ERTMS is in operation at Botniabanan since August 2010. Today Botniabanan, Västerdalsbanan, Ådalsbanan and Haparandabanan are in operation. Availability requirement on GSM-R is increased when ERTMS is introduced

Lesson learned • Radio in tunnels is not easy, issues to handle are
train speed, redundancy, availability and dynamics in the up- and downlink radio path
• You must have tools to see what is going on in the system (GEM)
• Forget standard parameter setup in cells you need to set parameters on cell basis
• Many new interface to handle Get the ETCS, GSM-R and IP people together to solve the “ERTMS issues”

OSI model
The OSI model is a construction that attempts to make an incredibly complicated system understandable to a greater audience. It can be approached even by the novice networker, to gain the most basic idea of what goes on between networked computers, or it can be used by the most advanced engineer, as an organizing tool for studies of extraordinary detail and complexity

ERTMS = ETCS + GSM-R
• GSM-R is the physical bearer of messages in ERTMS • GSM-R is using the radio transmission technology of GSM • GSM-R is a frequency neighbour to the Public Mobile Operators in
the 900 MHz band • New emerging wide-band technologies (UMTS / LTE) cause
interference problems to the GSM-R operation • In Sweden the regulator, PTS, has issued license conditions for the
Public Mobile Operators helping to protect GSM-R operation from harmful interference
• What are the prospects of interference free GSM-R operations when exposed to the public mobile operators wide-band signals?
15 2014-03-24
European Railway Agency, an agency of the European Union • The construction of a safe, modern integrated railway network is one
of the EU’s major priorities. Railways must become more competitive and offer high-quality, end-to-end services without being restricted by national borders.
• The European Railway Agency was set up to help create this integrated railway area by reinforcing safety and interoperability.
• The Agency also acts as the system authority for the European Rail
Traffic Management System (ERTMS) project, which has been set up to create unique signaling standards throughout Europe.

Interference issue - GSM-R & 3G/4G systems in the 900 MHz-band
Contains two problems: • Unwanted emissions from 3G/4G base stations into
the GSM-R frequency band: – Solution: To overcome the increased noise level, the signal
level in the GSM-R network will be generally raised, also filtering has to be done at the 3G/4G base stations to minimize the unwanted emissions in the GSM-R frequency band.
• GSM-R equipment (CAB & EDOR) can not handle strong wide bands signals from 3G/4G mobile networks in adjacent frequency bands
– Solution: Installing protective filters at the GSM-R equipment (CAB & EDOR). The filter excludes signals from 3G/4G base stations to reach the GSM-R equipment.

Technical restrictions for the public operators
The values below concern a 0 dBi antenna 4 metres above the railway tracks in the GSM-R. Base stations and repeaters transmitting in the frequency band 925 - 960 MHz must – within the frequency band 921 – 925 MHz – not generate a signal level exceeding -107 dBm/200kHz.

For circuit switched data there is a demand for better than 12dB S/N (signal to noise ratio) If above shall apply at a BTS failure the emission from the public network may not exceed -107dBm/200kHz The interference from the public network will appear as noise in the GSM-R band

Future for GSM-R MobiSIR
• Increased traffic mainly for ERTMS, other M2M communications and operational procedures
• Even higher focus on high availability Refarming of 900 MHz band and new technology in public networks
• GSM-R will be the railways operational radio system beyond 2020, maybe to 2030.
