5G in the Smart City

Smart cities apply the power of ICTs to deploy, manage, use and maintain a city’s assets to
meet the needs of the citizens, the society and the environment efficiently and sustainably.
5G network deployed city-wide would allow for both low-data machine connection and high-data
activity application.

Objectives of 5G Smart Driving

5G eV2X
provide better driving experiences, higher safety assurance and higher overall
efficiency.
SAFETY EFFICIENCY

• Reducing fuel consumption

• Saving transportation cost
• Reducing car accidents and fatality

• Pedestrian and circumstance aware driving • Freeing people from car driving
• Saving manpower of transportation
• Enhanced safety for car driving in the case of
fatigue driving, overtaking, car collision,
• Reducing traffic congestion
emergency situations, etc.
• Increasing traffic density per lane

URLLC mMTC

1. Sensitivity to the delay of 1. Network can access vast amounts of

network terminals
2. High reliability 2. Request access terminal low power
consumption, low cost

 Low frequency band with the advantages of strong ability of penetrating, low path loss, wide coverage.
 for URLLC/mMTC scenario ， Low frequency band was recommend ， such as 700M/900MHz.
