5G Enhanced Mobile Broadband Access Networks in Crowded
Environments (5G-Enhance) is a Horizon 2020 joint projectcomposed of EU research team (VTT, FHG, UOULU andAccelleran) and Japan research team (TUAT, NICT, UEC,CATV, JCTA and RWJ). 5G-Enhance intends to develop andexecute large scale trial activities on actual testbed in EU andJapan.
A key objective for 5G-Enhance is to define and evaluate
interoperable 5G eMBB and efficient network solutions indense area. In order to fulfil this the 5G-Enhance consortium
has identified a number of key project objectives; each ofwhich is associated with a distinct set of research andinnovations. These specific objectives are:

“5G-Enhance developand execute large scale
trial activities on actual
testbed in EU and Japan.”Objective 1: Develop, plan and execute large scale trial
activities on actual testbeds between EU and Japan.
Objective 2: Clarify the design and specification required forthe demonstration and trials based on two wirelessapplications with the 5G network.
Objective 3: Development of 5G enhanced mobile broadband
technologies in dense area for achieving the requirements (5GKPI) of the two applications.
Objective 4: Establish long-term research collaborationbetween leading industry players, top research institutes anduniversities in Europe and Japan

Page 2Oulu trial
Oulu trial is focused on demonstrating advantages of the technologies
developed within 5G-Enhance project for eMBB scenario in an indoor
environment with high density users and high data rate requirement.
This demonstration covers a scenario in which a live video from
hospital operating room is streamed to the remotely located medical
students or consultants, using the 5G network.

The Berlin trial scenario is basically a scaled down version of the Japan trial scenario which was planned forthe bike race event in Japan. It relies on an ad-hoc cycling event with the local project members and will be
deployed in the vicinity of the Fraunhofer FOKUS building in Berlin where spectrum is available to operate 4G
and 5G micro-operators

Japan trial

Japan trial is focused on outdoor environment with temporary high density of users requiring high data rates.
In this scenario, high data rate requirements are limited in space and time within a not densely populated area.
Such area has regular coverage by public operators corresponding to its regular user density.
However, such coverage is definitely not enough for a specific event like sport event. In this case, temporary
deployment of private operators and spectrum measurement and sharing infrastructure is beneficial andeconomically feasible.

Conclusion

From three different trials, 5G-Enhance demonstrated advantages of the technologies developed within 5GEnhance project for eMBB scenario in an indoor and outdoor environment with high density users and high data
rate requirement.
