GSM-R in general and its im plem entation on the Øresund Link

Peter Carlsson Engineer GSM-R expert BANVERKET Operation Division

Structure of the presentation

• Background to GSM-R
• W hat’s GSM-R?
• Status of GSM-R in Sw eden
• The im plem entation of GSM-R on the Øresund Link

Background to GSM-R

• EU found in the beginning of the 9 0 ´ ies that there w ere a

lot of technical and adm inistrative obstacles for the developm ent of the europen railw ay traffic

• One area defined for im provem ent w as technical system s

for Control Com m and.

• I n the m ean tim e UI C had started the specification of a new

railw ay radio system = > GSM-R

• I n the high speed directive 9 6 / 4 8 / EC the im plem entation
• f ERTMS ( = ETCS + GSM-R) w as m andated by the EU.

Overall structure of standards

Tw o projects launched to create GSM-R EI RENE ( European I ntegrated Railway radio Enhanced NEtwork)

• Was responsible for development of Functional and System Requirement

Specifications

• Financed by EU and UIC

MORANE ( MObile radio for RAilway Networks in Europe)

• Consortium of railways and suppliers
• Financed by EU, UIC and the suppliers
• Was responsible for the realisation of an EIRENE compliant prototype system

The nam es EI RENE and MORANE

A radio com m unication system tailor-m ade for the railw ays capable of both voice and data ( ETCS) GSM-R is based on the w ell know n and w ide spread GSM technology Railw ay requirem ents have added som e new features on top of the public GSM like:

W hat’s GSM-R?

• Group calls ( e.g. Railw ay em ergency call)
• Broadcast calls
• Use of priority
• Fast call set-up for Railw ay Em ergency Calls
• Functional num bering
• Location depending addressing

GSM phase 2+ with ASCI functions GSM phase 2 Public GSM- network Railway specific services as Functional Numbering and Location Dependent addressing. Separate frequency band. GSM-R network

Status of GSM-R in Sw eden

• Fully operating GSM-R netw ork
• EI RENE com pliant plus GPRS
• Approx 1 2 0 0 BTS covering 1 0 0 0 0 km of track are installed
• I nlandsbanan expected to be finalized 2 0 1 1
• Rolling stock ow ners/ traffic operators are responsible for

installation in the rolling stock

Project organisation

• The im plem entation project, SI R ( Swedish I nternational Radio

for Railways) now finalized

• The internal business unit Banverket ICT (I nformation and

Communication Technology) acts as operator of the network

The im plem entation of GSM-R on the Øresund Link

• This w as the first com m ercial operation of GSM-R in the

w orld and also the first to pass a territorial border

• GSM-R has been used on the Øresund Link since the
