WP5 covers the prototyping activities of the project targeting the definition, implementation, integration into testbeds and demonstration of a set of PoCs (Proof-of-Concepts) covering: a) both dense and scarcely populated 1 CO = Confidential, only members of the consortium (including the Commission Services) PU = Public Dissemination level: public Page 2 / 107 ONE5G Deliverable D5.2 areas; b) a set of relevant verticals (e.g. smart city, factory of the future, automotive and agricultural applications); c) the main 5G service categories (eMBB, URLLC and mMTC) and; d) a selected set of technological components being proposed and investigated by the partners.

The objectives of WP5 are initially to select set of technological components being proposed and investigated by the partners in order to be implemented as technical component. Then to integrate these components into the partner testbeds and finally demonstrate a set of PoCs (Proof-of-Concepts) covering the two areas (Megacity and Underserved) addressed in the project. In addition, among the main objectives of WP5 is to link the provided prototypes with relevant verticals (e.g. smart city, factory of the future, automotive and agricultural applications). In WP5, a set of five Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) were defined and developed in order to validate the main ONE5G features and prove their benefits in realistic scenarios. The PoCs were built by implementing selected technical components proposed during the project timeframe by integrating these components into the available 7 partner testbeds of the project. These five PoCs cover different verticals in both “Megacities” and “Underserved Areas”, while some of them act as integrated PoCs including more than one testbed. PoC#1 - Industrial PoC: This PoC targets URLLC services in an industrial area with large factories, in a “Megacities” scenario. The PoC integrates end-to-end (E2E) performance optimization techniques, small cells, multi-connectivity techniques (PDCP packet duplication, Single Frequency Network, coordinated multi-point transmission) for reliability enhancement, solutions for optimization of network resources in an end-to-end manner and network slicing management and negotiation in critical infrastructures. PoC#2 - “Smart megacity”: This PoC focuses primarily on eMBB and mMTC service categories, in “Megacities” supporting a large number of users, services and cell densities. The PoC integrates E2E performance optimization techniques based on KPI to KQI mapping and monitoring, multi-node/multi-link, techniques context-aware multi-service solutions (e.g. RRM optimization), and enhancement of traditional load balancing techniques. PoC#3 - Enhanced massive MIMO: This PoC targets eMBB services with a large number of users and dense cell deployment in “Megacities”. The PoC focuses on Massive MIMO technology in a multi-user and multi-cell environment and integrates technical components such as non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and code design, novel antenna arrays (e.g. cylindrical arrays), sector, beam management and enhanced CSI acquisition techniques for Massive MIMO. PoC#4 - “Underserved Areas”: this PoC focuses on low-cost network deployments and targets primarily mMTC and eMBB for agricultural applications. Technical components such as flexibility and fast reconfiguration of network elements and mechanisms for transmission path improvements and management of network slices are integrated. PoC#5 - Automotive: this PoC targets URLLC for automotive applications in “Megacities”, but the scenario “Underserved Areas” could be considered as well, with less tight URLLC requirements. Technical components such as multi-antenna enhancement for improving reliability, and optimization of real-time processing in URLLC are integrated. In addition to the aforementioned PoCs, two Integrated PoCs (IPoCs), meaning PoCs that utilise functionalities prototyped into different testbeds, were defined, implemented and demonstrated during the project. Dissemination level: public Page 4 / 107 ONE5G Deliverable D5.2 IPoC#1 - Serving megacities and industrial areas through 5G technologies: integrated PoC between AAU, UMA and WINGS testbeds. The main goal of the integrated PoC is to prove the suitability of 5G technologies in supporting in a unified way the requirements in two challenging environments: a) industrial areas with large factories; b) highly populated areas, namely "Megacities". IPoC#2 - Wireless control of industrial production: integrated PoC between AAU and UMA testbeds. This IPoC deals with a wirelessly controlled production line, addressing the capabilities of different radio technologies in supporting the latency demands. In addition, the IPoC showcases that end–to-end latency can be predicted using machine learning approaches..
