The 5G-MOBIX EC project trials have been assessing the added value of 5G connectivity for connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) services and functionalities in cross-border conditions. 5G-MOBIX trial sites include two Cross-Border Corridors (Greece-Turkey and Spain-Portugal) and six local Trial Sites in France, Germany, Netherlands, Finland, China and South Korea (bringing complementary insights to the cross-border issues trialled at the Corridors).

The webinar presents the results from the 5G-MOBIX Trial Site in South Korea, which looked into the benefits of 5G services in providing broadband free WiFi service to passengers in the shuttle bus to address QoS limitation of current 4G networks, namely for tethering via mmWave communication use case. The webinar also includes a video demonstration of the tested solutions.

Speakers:

Heesang Chung received his BS degree in physics from KAIST, Daejeon, Rep. of Korea, in 1993, and his MS and PhD degrees in physics from Chungnam National University, Daejeon, Rep. of Korea, in 1995 and 1999, respectively. Since then, he has been with Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) where he is currently the principal researcher. His career in ETRI began with optical communications, and he moved on to mobile and wireless communication systems in 2005. He was involved in research projects related to LTE and LTE-Advanced from 2006 to 2010. His recent research interests are in 5G/5G-Advanced/6G mobile communications.

Dr. You-Jun Choi is a Principal Researcher at the Korean Automotive. Dr. Choi has a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, an M.S degree in mechatronics engineering and has received a Ph.D. degree in transport system engineering from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Korea, in 2018. In 2011 he joined Korea Automotive Technology Institute (KATECH) as a senior researcher. His current research interests are developments of electric mobility, C-ITS, connected autonomous driving system, and driver status monitoring system. In 2019, he was honored with a certificate from the Minister of Ministry of Science and ICT. Since 2017, he has participated in various Horizon 2020 research programs as a Korean coordinator with regard to the 5G based CCAM (Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility) topic. Recently he was invited to the serval Horizon Europe research programs concerning the CCAM topic.
