Abstract
The design of the next train radio telecommunication system has started in Europe, based on initiatives at International Railway Union (UIC), European Railway Agency (ERA) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). This new system must satisfy rail community requirements and replace the currently used GSM-R (Global System for Mobile communications - Railways) system. The 3GPP LTE (Third Generation Partnership Project - Long Term Evolution) mobile cellular system and its evolutions are among the candidates and must be evaluated for railway services. This paper aims at providing an overview of current standardization work and system-level evaluation results of LTE in a railway environment.
