Next Generation Railway Mobile Communication Network Architecture Based on Cloud Computing

The development of railway intelligence and the integration of railway network with internet have put forward higher requirements for the carrying capacity and service quality of the next generation railway mobile communication network. Firstly,this paper proposes the network architecture based on cloud computing and analyzes the technical advantages and challenges faced by this architecture according to the characteristics of railway applications. Then,based on the analysis of the requirements of the future railway mobile communication,a three-layer radio access network deployment scheme with centralized units,distribution units and radio remote units is proposed,and an onboard mobile terminal wireless access scheme with mobile relay nodes is recommended. Finally, the evolution route of the next generation railway mobile communication network is given. The cloud-based railway mobile communication network can effectively reduce construction and maintenance costs,improve resource utilization efficiency,reduce energy consumption,and adapt to the future development trend of the railway.
