PMSE-xG — wireless communication in mobile networks for programme making and special events

This paper provides a short overview of the German research and development (R&D) project PMSE-xG, which aims to create the prerequisites for using the next mobile standard for broad-band low-latency ultra-reliable connections (5G) especially for Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE). The PMSE manufacturers have so far focused on highly specialized, link-based solutions. This strategy was undermined by the fact that more and more spectrum is assigned to mobile communication systems like Long Term Evolution (LTE). Therefore, both technologies are competing for the rare spectrum. Working with the current standard for wireless communication Long Term Evolution (LTE), the PMSE-xG project is a first feasibility study to integrate PMSE applications into a mobile communication standard and aims to integrate these different use cases of PMSE through future projects into 5G. Through the interaction and cooperation with different stakeholders from industry, research, standardization, regulation and users, PMSE-xG tries to achieve this. Furthermore, it will lay the foundations for other vertical industries in 5G and for further cooperation with them. Furthermore, the video demonstrator is introduced in this paper. Still some work has to be done but the goals of the project are reachable.
