Problem 1 in CBTC Radio Bearer: Frequent Accidents Caused by Open-Band
Interference Case 1: The train is stopped or degraded due to the use of MiFi by
passengers
Case 2: The train is stopped or degraded on the overhead railway or
ground segment
Occurring
condition
Passengers in carriage 1 or 6 (the first or last carriage) use MiFi to access to
the Internet .
Probability 10 times per line per day in first-tier cities
1 time per line per day in second-tier cities
Cause The 2.4 G frequency band MiFi used by passengers has interference on the
WiFi used by CBTC
Typical cases Shenzhen Metro Line 2 is stopped due to the use of MiFi by passengers.
In an internal test carried out by Shenzhen Subway Transportation Office, a
train is stopped when three MiFi hotspot is enabled in the head carriage.
Occurring
condition The train is running on the overhead railway or ground segment
Probability This problem will occur in the following conditions:
Big-data downloading or video services are performed in the near AP hotspot.
A 2.4 G high-power medical instrument is turned on.
Cause AP hotspot or the high-power medical instrument occupies the WiFi channel.
Typical cases •The Longhua Line train is stopped when passing through a overhead railway due to
interference from a high-power microwave medical instrument.
• The train in Chengdu Metro Line 2 constructed by Insigma is stopped in a ground segment
interference test.
The operation period for subway is long and therefore
the routine maintenance period is short
APs are installed with an interval of 200 m along
the road because APs have short coverage range.
Too many APs are deployed and therefore there is
a high probability of device fault.
Problem 2 in CBTC Radio Bearer: Difficult Project Implementation and Hard
Maintenance due to Too Many Devices Along the Road
00:00 04:00 05:00 23:00 24:00
Maintenance period Operation period
Use the Shanghai subway as an example, the routine
maintenance period is only four hours, and device
maintenance requires application in advance and the
maintenance period is limited.
More than 300 APs are required in a 30 km road.

Problem 3 in CBTC Radio Bearer: Failed to Provide Satisfactory
Services in High-Mobility Scenarios
The WiFi standard is initially developed as a radio
access method in indoor scenarios, and therefore
cannot meet the requirement in high-mobility
scenarios.
The subway rate has reached 120 km/h in design
and even 140 km/h in some lines.
The BER of WiFi increases rapidly with the subway
rate and cannot meet the BER requirement in a
subway with a rate higher than 100 km/h.

4. CBTC LTE Bearer Prospects
LTE Becoming the Solution for CBTC High-Quality Radio Bearer
Item LTE WLAN
Anti-interference
capability
Uses dedicated frequency band, avoiding inter-RAT interference
Provides Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) and
Interference Rejection Combining (IRC) solutions to solve the intra-
RAT interference.
Uses the ISM open band, and therefore is vulnerable to external
interferences
The CSMA/CA mechanism leads to uplink and downlink data
transmission inter-RAT interference in intra-frequency networking .
Maintainability
LTE devices have long coverage distance with a tunnel coverage
distance of about 1.2 km. No device need to be installed inside the
tunnel and this facilitates maintenance.
WLAN devices have short coverage distance and plenty of APs must
be installed along the road. APs are easily damaged in tunnels and
this leads to high maintenance workload.
Mobility Supports a highest moving rate of 450 km/h. Applicable to low-rate scenarios (lower than 80 to 120 km/h). The
handover success rate decreases with the moving rate.
QoS Supports nine QoS priorities in scheduling.
Has guaranteed bandwidth, ensuring QoS.
Supports only four priority queues at the air interface, and this makes
it difficult for service expansion.
Key services do not have guaranteed bandwidth.
LTE is a feasible solution for solving the current CBTC radio bearer problems.

enables the system to have the anti-
interference capability with other systems
such as 2.4 G WiFi, bluetooth, public
network, and trunking.
• The use of the LTE OFDM technology and
mature leaky cables suppress multi-path
interference on city subways.
• The ICIC technology suppresses intra-RAT
cell-edge interferences.
Using LTE to Solve the Problem of Too Many Devices and Hard Maintenance
WiFi LTE
• WiFi APs use ISM open frequency band. To avoid
interference, APs are installed with an interval of
about 200 m and therefore many APs are installed
inside the tunnel.
• It is warm and wet inside a tunnel and WiFi APs
are easy to become faulty and the maintenance
workload is high.
• The one-way coverage range is about 600 to 800 m,
reducing the number of radio devices inside a tunnel.
• No device needs to be installed inside a tunnel with
a length less than 1.2 km.
Meeting the Requirements in High-Mobility Scenarios
Automatic frequency correction Frequency-offset-based handover
Frequency offset estimation
Frequency offset compensation Data input Corrected data
Basic principle of the AFC module
High-speed movement leads to high Doppler frequency shift. Frequency shift under 2GHz:
222.2Hz@120km/h, 648.15Hz@350km/h
The LTE standard is designed to support the high speed of 350KM/H. For example, the uplink access
queue is different in high-speed and low-speed scenarios.
LTE has dedicated frequency offset estimation and correction algorithm. The enhanced algorithm has a
frequency offset tolerance of more than 1 kHz, ensuring network performance in high-speed scenarios.
More advanced frequency correction technology
Cooperated with Huawei to perform CBTC LTE bearer tests.
At 2013 May, performed an LTE-CBTC interoperability test in a lab in Insigma Technology
Co.,Ltd. All test items are passed.
During 2013 July to 2013 September, performed outside plant tests in the rail transportation
integrative laboratory in Tongji University. All 29 test items are passed.
The test results show that the LTE network features real-time, wide bandwidth, low packet
loss rate, and low packet disorder rate. In addition ,the LTE system interoperates well with
the CBTC system and can meet the CBTC bearer requirements for rail transport.
