SRC6SS NG-TCN Towards Network Slicing in on-board
Output type:
The Train Communication Network (TCN), defined by IEC 61375, consists of a wired architecture with two levels: the Train Backbone Network (TBN) for inter-consist communication and the Consist Network (CN) for intra-consist communication. However, the wired system is costly and maintenance-intensive, driving the need for advanced wireless solutions. European projects propose a Next-Generation TCN (NG-TCN) with a Wireless Train Backbone Network (WLTBN). While wireless communication offers flexibility, it also brings challenges like service priority, security, and reliability. 5G technologies, particularly network slicing, show promise in addressing these challenges, but further research is needed to explore its potential in enhancing WLTBN.
