Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
5G is the latest generation of cellular mobile communication services, connecting multiple terminals and
devices such as PCs and smartphones. Non-electronic objects can also be involved in 5G communication,
when they are electronically recognized using methods such as QR-codes and face recognition by
converting their images into electronic data. Thus, no matter whether things are digitally processed/
processable or not, all items can be connected in 5G communication, which is characterized by high
speed, negligible delay and large capacity traffic in data transmission, assisted with edge computing.
In 5G communication, carrier waves in high-frequency ranges are used, where many frequency channels
had been vacant. However, high frequency waves are easily scattered by objects while propagating.
This shortcoming requires building many base stations to successfully receive and forward waves.
Transportation services are the most widely networked to connect people, delivery items and freight to
villages, towns, cities and large city zones with public roads, railroads and rivers or canals which have
transportation facilities, i.e. streetlamps, traffic signals, signboards, bus stops, railroad instruments,
stations, ports. Private and commercial vehicles are active wherever human activities are in place.
Transportation facilities and vehicles are, therefore, operative places to install nodes with a transceiver
for carrier waves. The facilities and vehicles statically or dynamically form local ad hoc networks of
meshes which can organically be overlapped with backbone networks of 5G communication. This
complements the current transportation services using 5G communication services, indirectly and
effectively.
This document outlines how transportation facilities and vehicles can contribute to transportation
services using 5G communication services by providing as many large and stable meshes as possible, as
a means to support the current 5G backbone networks.
In the development of this document, ISO Guide 82 has been taken into account in addressing
sustainability issues.

4 Concept of framework for transportation services by providing meshes for 5G
communication
4.1 Background
5G communication services are starting to become widespread worldwide to transmit more data by
increasing the number of carrier wave channels. Since 3G and 4G communication mainly uses low
frequency channels, most countries use high frequency ranges to adopt 5G communication by following
3GPP TS 38.104 V16.7.0. The frequency ranges used for 5G communication, which are normally 3,5 GHz
to 3,8 GHz, are higher compared to those for 3G and 4G communication. Owing to the short wavelengths
of the carrier waves in 5G communication, the waves can be easily scattered while propagating and
drastically attenuating. To gain wave signal amplitude or power for longer distance transmission and
expand the service coverage, more base stations should be built up, but they require sufficient power
supply and large premises for operation, which results in increased capital costs. As the service areas
remain limited due to such reasons, 5G communication has not yet become common worldwide.
As transportation systems already have dense and large networks, it is expected that transportation
infrastructures can be used as places to install small cells for mesh networking to enlarge 5G
communication coverage. Small cells, the size and weight of which are minimized, can be simply placed
at as many spots as possible to locally process communication signals. Such a small cell, called a mesh
node, forms a mesh. Meshes overlap with each other and generate mesh networks. Individual meshes
and mesh networks further overlap with the current backbone networks of 5G communication.
Wherever human activities take place, transportation is used. Every city has transportation vehicles
and facilities such as bus stops, rail stations, ports, airports, public roads, railroad tracks, transportation
operators’ buildings, service facilities and related commercial architecture, even if the transportation
operation and service scale depends on populations and population density, as noted in ISO 37154:2017,
5.2 to 6.2. Lampposts, traffic lights and signboards as well as electric and signalling poles are built
on public roads and railroad tracks and their entire networks extended in a city or a large city zone.
Thus, as mentioned earlier, transportation vehicles and facilities are good places to install mesh nodes.
Mesh nodes, which are characterized by small and light device scales and low power consumption,
are also low maintenance. A mesh node has a low coverage of about 150 m area in radius. However,
a number of meshes created by placing many mesh nodes forms large networks. Vehicles effectively
help in dynamically forming meshes by moving. Smartphones can also create meshes, if the phone has
high enough power to perform routing. Thus, walking is still good transportation contributing to mesh
formation as people with phones spread in a city.
