Key Issues for GSM-R and LTE-R

HSR has been developed rapidly all over the world, which puts forward requirements for a reliable and efficient wireless communication system between the moving train and the ground. According to International Union of Railways (UIC) E-Train Project, the train-ground wireless communication services for HSR system mainly include the train control services, the train monitoring services, and the passenger services from/to Internet. The train control and monitoring services are special services for train needs and provided by train operators mainly using Global System for Mobile Communications-Railway (GSM-R), which is an international wireless communications standard for railway communication and applications. With the rapid growth of HSR services, GSM-R has been unable to support the broadband communication systems. Therefore, from GSM-R to long-term evolution for railway (LTE-R) is the essential trend to guarantee a reliable communication systems. By introducing and comparing the network architecture and key technologies of GSM-R and LTE-R system, this chapter discusses the development of the next-generation HSR broadband communication systems.
