5G Trial Cooperation between EU and China

The H2020 project 5G-DRIVE (5G HarmoniseD Research and TrIals for serVice Evolution between EU and China) cooperates with the Chinese twin project to trial and validate key functions of 5G networks operating at 3.5 GHz bands for enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) and 3.5 GHz & 5.9 GHz bands for V2X scenarios. 5G-DRIVE will instill significant impact on the validation of standards and trigger the roll-out of real 5G networks and V2X innovative solutions driving new business opportunities and creating thereby new jobs and brand new business models. This paper presents the overall approach of 5G-DRIVE, the advances beyond the current state of the art for key 5G enabling technologies, as well as the considered use cases.JRC.E.2-Technology Innovation in Securit
