Train-trackside communication is essential for safe and efficient railway operations, with evolving requirements to handle increasing traffic. Currently, systems like GSM-R facilitate crucial data exchange for voice communication, emergency calls, and Automatic Train Protection (ATP). However, as GSM-R becomes outdated and will reach the end of its lifecycle by 2030, new communication technologies are needed. The Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is being developed as a successor to GSM-R, aiming to modernize railway communications. Various research projects, such as 5GRAIL and Europe’s Rail FP2 R2DATO, are contributing to this transition.
