Collaboration to realise an AVP test environment for autonomous driving use cases
Summary
A demonstration exhibition was held as part of the 5GAA 1 Member Symposium event in Malaga, Spain on 20 October 2022. AVP Technical Report Version 1.0 was released by 5GAA in June 2022, and a wireless communication (Type-2) operation scheme linked with parking garage infrastructure and users’ smartphones was proposed. Since AVP Type-2 requires highly reliable end-to-end communications, a test system needs to evaluate QoS management and impairment effects in the IP layer. The test solution set up a digital twin environment incorporating both virtual and real devices. Automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and mobile network operators have shown great interest in the demonstration, and we will continue to develop this simulation environment and contribute to the realisation of AVP.
