1. GSM-R Issues for Continued Success
GSM-R Issues for Continued Success
Introduction RL, JK, LP
From “getting ready....” to “... it’s all about execution”
From plans in 2002 to visible action in 2003
ICM and ICN
[Added business volume of ICM and ICN makes us comparable with the biggest competitors worldwide. Joint R&D spending in the same range compared with the main competitors.
ICM and ICN have huge synergies in hardware and software, e.g. core platform of our switching solution. We work together to realize more and more of this synergies in the future (upside potential).
SBS, ICM and ICN work closely via their corporate account management. We deliver solutions our customers need, including the necessary services.]

6 Countries open
No continuous GSM-R coverage in the short term …
Some ongoing projects delayed
Continuous GSM-R coverage
Calls for extra cost control

7. GSM-R Interoperability Issues
Inter-Operability Tests IOT – some background
Common GSM-R Industry approach – first IOT meeting at Siemens in January 2002
Phases 1 and 2 – Basic Interoperability (including infrastructure and terminals from different vendors) verified, executed Nov-Dec 2002, report available
Phase 3 – functions when crossing the border between two networks, planned for Winter 2003/2004
Phase 4 – mixed vendor configurations

8. GSM-R Interoperability Issues
IOT Phase 3.1 and 3.2
E-Interface Interoperability Test (switch to switch)
VGCS and VBS with common, border-crossing Service Areas
EIRENE network re-registration procedure
IOT Phase 3.1
Siemens runs VGCS 11/2 channel
Nortel runs VGCS 1 channel
IOT Phase 3.2
Siemens runs VGCS 1 channel

9. GSM-R Interoperability Issues
IOT Phase 4.1 and 4.2
A-Interface Interoperability Test (switch to radio)
All GSM features relevant for Railways
All R-features
IOT Phase 4.1
NSS from X, BSS from Y
IOT Phase 4.2
NSS from Y, BSS from X

10. GSM-R Interoperability Issues
Full Interoperability to be proven 1st half 2004
Operational rules at border crossing
Common Industry Interoperability Statement
Railways require a certain freedom of choice
Funding of IOT work
Long term European concept for maintained Interoperability in an evolving environment

11. GSM-R ETCS Issues GSM-R as platform for ETCS L2
Some still ongoing operational issues (border crossing)
QoS parameter values to be settled
Engineering for dense areas

12. GSM-R Issues In summary… GSM-R in operational use
Interoperability is Key

15. GSM-R Interoperability Issues
Current Situation IOT Phases 3.1 and 3.2
Phases 3.1 and 3.2 described in some detail in common Siemens-Nortel document sent for review to OG ad hoc team on 5 November 2003
Positive, supportive reviews received on 12 November 2003
Nortel formally disagrees to participate in any VGCS testing with Siemens running 11/2 channels (Phase 3.1) on 24 November
