1. Executive Summary The European EMULRADIO4RAIL Project aims to develop an innovative emulation platform for tests and validation of various radio access technologies (RATs) like Wi-Fi, LTE, LTE-A and Sat-Coms. The project considers the integration of both channel emulators and network emulators into a single emulation platform so that the proposed testbed can offer a complete (from physical layer to IP level) test environment. This deliverable is organized as follows. First a state of the art of IP impairment models considered in the literature is given. Second, we provide an original possible modelling approach of IP metrics (jitter, PER, bandwidth, E2E delay) versus time, in a set of Railway environments based on the experimental assessments obtained in Task 3.2 [D3.2] and in new long term measurements carried out in order to have more statistically representative data. The results were obtained with the different emulation solutions detailed in [D2.1] and [D3.1]. The aim of the modelling task is to be able to use the experimental models at IP level, to test the industrial prototypes from X2RAIL-3 WP3. In the last part, the models considered for the emulation of the satellite link at IP level are presented. Finally, conclusions and perspectives are given.

3. Background The present document constitutes the Deliverable D2.2 “IP impairments models” according to Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking programme of the project titled “EMULATION OF RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES FOR RAILWAY COMMUNICATIONS” (Project Acronym: EMULRADIO4RAIL, under Grant Agreement No 826152). In December 2018, the European Commission awarded a grant to the EMULRADIO4RAIL consortium of the Shift2Rail / Horizon 2020 call (H2020-S2RJU-OC-2018 S2R-CFM-IP2-01-2015). EMULRADIO4RAIL is a project connected to the development of a new Communication System planned within the Technical Demonstrator TD2.1 of the 2nd Innovation Programme (IP2) of Shift2Rail JU: Advanced Traffic Management & Control Systems. The IP2 “Advanced Traffic Management & Control Systems” is one of the five asset-specific Innovation Programmes (IPs), covering all the different structural (technical) and functional (process) sub-systems related to control, command and communication of railway systems.

4. Objectives The objective of this Deliverable is to present several Models of IP impairments to be used in a network emulator to mimic the impact of the air gap, over traffic at IP level.

The satellite emulator is IP native, this is not the case of the Emulradio4Rail platforms for the terrestrial bearers (LTE and Wi-Fi). Consequently, two different approaches have been considered:

• In order to study, develop and set up various models of “IP impairments” versus various railways scenarios, we have performed modelling activities in Task 2.2 based on experimental results obtained in Task 3.2 and in new long-term measurements. In this task, the Emulradio4Rail RF channel emulators have allowed obtaining, in a controlled environment (Railway scenarios), experimental data concerning the assessment of the LTE and Wi-Fi bearers. Thanks to the IPERF tool, we have obtained for different IP traffic, the variations of IP metrics such as jitter, packet error rate, effective throughput and end-to end delay versus time. Thanks to long emulation testing (30 min) in a selected set of Railway channels, we have obtained statistical characterisation of the IP metrics, which we have termed “IP impairment models”. These final models for the transmission impairments at IP level can be then considered with the industrial prototypes. Unfortunately, due to covid-19, this was not possible at the time of finalization of this Deliverable for the LTE and Wi-Fi bearers.

• Regarding the satcom link, due to difficulties in physically emulating the satellite radio link in Task 3.2 of WP3, the corresponding modelling of IP impairments are based on a theoretical/simulated approach, over realistic propagation scenarios.

Important remark: considering existing statistical Railway channel models in the literature, for the terrestrial link, it is not possible to link the models to the train position. It is though possible to decide artificially, with a predefined designed trajectory, that the train is during a given interval in a cutting environment, then in a tunnel, then on a viaduct, then in a station, etc.

5. Introduction The QoS measurement activities are strictly related to the IP impairments. The possibility to inject disturbs at IP level (such as additional delay, packet loss or jitter) offers the possibility to test in laboratory, network models under realistic conditions. For this reason, it is very important to understand the IP impairments, their effects on end-to-end transmission and how the network and the network elements react to them. In order to do so, we need to generate these IP impairments (or the conditions that lead to them) in such a way that allows us to assess their impact on the performance of transmissions The Deliverable is organised as follows. First the IP impairment models considered for the satellite emulator are presented. They are extracted directly from literature and standards for the emulation at IP level. The second section of the Deliverable presents the methodology to derive statistical models of IP impairment from the measurements performed, within Task 3.2, with the Radio channel emulators (Wi-Fi and LTE) and the results obtained. Finally conclusions and perspectives are provided.

6. IP impairments known in the literature

6.1. Definitions Recommendation ITU-T Y.1542 [1] describes a general Framework for achieving end-to-end IP performance objectives. In particular, the ITU document defines the main approach and methodology to adopt in order to guarantee acceptable levels of IP network performance. To do that, the ITU recommendation provides some use cases and related impairments can occur during the end-to-end transmission chain. This Recommendation focuses on the impact of impairments on the performance at Internet Protocol (IP) layer 3. IP streams, from any type of network device, can be evaluated using this model. The following are parameters and impairments that affect quality of service (QoS) and IP network performance:

• Network architecture; • Types of access links; • QoS-controlled edge routing; • Maximum Transmitting Unit (MTU) size; • Network faults; • Link failure; • Route flapping; • Reordered packets; • Packet loss (frame loss); • One-way delay (latency); • Variable delays (Jitter); and • Background traffic (i.e network load).

The performance of a network is of vital importance to both the service providers and the customers. Performance can be measured with parameters such as transmission rate, delay, jitter and packet loss. Currently, there is no standard for QoS performance measurement, hence various methods are used:

- actively by insertion of test traffic. - passively by observing user-generated traffic.

6.2. Impairment Models at IP level in the literature

6.2.1. TIA-921 The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is the leading trade association for the information and communications technology (ICT) industry. TIA represents the communications sector of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA). http://www.tiaonline.org . TIA-921 “Network Model for Evaluating Multimedia Transmission Performance Over the Internet Protocol” was created by TIA TR-30.3 Subcommittee on Data Communications Equipment Evaluation and Network Interfaces and released June 2006 [2]. This standard specifies an IP network model and scenarios for evaluating and comparing communications equipment, connected over a converged wide-area network. The IP network model consists of different impairment combinations that are scenario based and time varying. IP streams from any type of network device can be evaluated using this model. The test scenarios combine LAN, access and core network elements in a realistic way, to create Layer 3 IP network impairments that cause packets to experience varying delay or loss. These scenarios are based on actual network data, provided by anonymous IP service providers and IP network equipment manufacturers. This Standard is broadly applicable to the evaluation of any equipment that terminates or routes traffic using the Internet Protocol. This Standard can also be used to evaluate media streams or other protocols carried over IP networks. Examples of the types of equipment that can be evaluated using this model include: IP-connected endpoints: IP network devices (such as: user agents, call agents, media servers, media gateways,

application servers, routers, switches, etc.); IP video (IPTV, video conferencing, telepresence, etc.); IP phones (including soft phones); IAF (Internet-aware fax)

IP/TCP connected endpoints: Peer-to-peer HTTP Adaptive bit-rate video

PSTN-connected devices through IP gateways: POTS through voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways; ITU-T T.38 facsimile devices and gateways; ITU-T V.150.1 and ITU-T V.152 (voiceband data, VBD) modem-over-IP gateways; TIA-1001 and ITU-T V.151 textphone-over-IP gateways.

G A 826152 P a g e 14 | 93

The IP network model can be used to test an IP stream in real time using an emulation of the network impact, based on the model. The IP network model can be used to study and to understand:

the interaction of different traffic mixes; the effects of QoS and queuing on different types of traffic; packet delay variation and packet loss.

6.2.2. ITU G.1050 ITU G.1050 Recommendations specify an IP network model, based on scenario-based impairment combinations. These time varying IP network impairments provide a significant sample of transmission conditions [3]. Emphasis is given to the fact that manufacturers of communications equipment and service providers are interested in a specification that accurately models the IP network characteristics that determine performance. Evaluators desire a definitive set of simple tests that properly measure the performance of communications devices from various manufacturers. Therefore, the objective of this Recommendation is to define a technology-independent model that is representative of the IP network, that can be simulated at reasonable complexity, and that facilitates practical evaluation times. The following table 6.1 describes service test profiles and the applications, node mechanisms and network techniques associated with them. This categorization is based on ITU-T Y.1541 [4], although a one-to-one mapping to these service profiles may not be possible.

Table 6.1: ITU-T G.1050 profiles list.

The following three test profiles are used in a generic IP network model that can be associated with service level agreements (SLAs):

• Well-managed network (profile A) – A network with no over-committed links that employs

QoS edge routing. • Partially-managed network (profile B) – A network that minimizes over-committed links and

has one or more links without QoS edge routing. • Unmanaged network (profile C) – An unmanaged network such as the Internet that includes

over-committed links and has one or more links without QoS edge routing.

Tables 6.2 to 6.4 represent end-to-end impairment levels. ITU-T Y.1541 Profile A Well-Managed Network Impairment Ranges Y.1541 QoS Level – suitable for high quality video and VoIP Most Service Providers will be supporting this SLA for IPTV

ITU-T Y.1541 Profile C Un-Managed Network Impairment Ranges Y.1541 QoS Level – Internet little or no guarantees

Table 6.4: ITU-T Y.1541 profile C.

These models are the reference point in general for industrial partners during the test. It depends on the IP traffic. At the moment we are not aware of the IP traffic type. Thus, we need to consider all the three profiles.

7. IP Impairments in the Emulradio4Rail platform The Emulradio4Rail platform is composed of two LTE platforms built with OAI, 1 Wi-Fi platform and 1 satellite platform [D3.1]. The LTE and Wi-Fi platforms are connected at RF level to a channel emulator, able to mimic the statistical radio behaviour in different railways environments selected in [MS3]. The satellite platform is IP native and connected directly at IP level. The high level concept of the Emulradio4Rail platform is given in Figure 7.1.

The low level design extracted from [D3.1] is given on Figure 7.2.

The methodology followed is recalled in the diagram given in Figure 7.3.

Figure 7.3: IP emulation assessment workflow.

We will first detail the satellite part and then the terrestrial one.

7.1. IP impairments for the Satellite subsystem Satellite Communication has been recognized a suitable telecom bearer of the Adaptable Communication System (ACS) defined by X2Rail team, including the possibility of its integration with 3GPP architectures under investigation (especially for 5G networks). The satellite bearer is considered in the FRMCS architecture that identifies two classes of telecom bearer, respectively classified as 3GPP family and NO-3GPP as actual satcom systems, Wifi, and so on. Even if satcom solutions are evolving and might be in the future compatible with 3GPP standard, they are already used [43] and nowadays are also compatible with the ACS architecture in combination with other bearers. The Emulradio4Rail Satellite Emulator implemented by Radiolabs allows to assess the overall performance of satcom independently from the specific air interface implemented by individual satcom operators. The Emulradio4Rail satellite subsystem is IP-native. The Netem emulator [5] is used for emulating the satellite link at IP level. To have more realistic features and according to ITU Recommendations G.1050, we also implemented the IP Impairment models as Additional delay and Packet loss (%) through statistical distributions [6] [7] [8] [9]. From a delay point of view, according to [6] there are three main components of latency: propagation delay, transmission delay, and queuing delay. In case of GEO SatCom, the main component is the propagation delay. In literature, an end-to-end propagation delay around 250 ms [7] is experienced in case of one-way GEO satellite transmission, although the value can increase

Page 19: Deliverable D 2.2 IP impairments models (revised version)

G A 826152 P a g e 19 | 93

up to 270 ms if interleaves for Forward Error Correction (FEC) are used (around 8-10%) [6]. If we consider the two-way GEO satellite transmission, “The propagation delay for a message and the corresponding reply defined as one round-trip time or RTT will be at least 500 ms to 600 ms.” [7]. According to ETSI document [7] a typical delay budget in case of GEO satellite transmission is summarized in Table 7.1.

Table 7.1: Example of delay budget for a TSS type BSM

As described in D3.2, the typical end-to-end delay of the GEO satellites is around 500 ms up to 600 ms [6] [7] [16]. The variations of end-to-end delay at physical layer are usually lower than 500 ms. They depend on the physical propagation in the medium. The satellite behavior can be modelled through a “two-state model”: ON and OFF mode. In case a good coverage (satellite in sight and in “ON mode”) the satellite signal at physical layer (in the transmission section including the two earth stations) is quite stable, together with the capacity offered to the end user and the corresponding performance at IP level. If the satellite is obstructed (satellite not in sight and in “OFF mode”) the end user cannot receive any satellite radio signal, then he has not a capacity from satellite [17]. From the impairment point of view, the most important ones depend on the data transmission over IP in the section (a LAN or WAN link) including the satellite ground station and the rail application server. Since the WAN link passes through Internet (as shown in Figure 7.4 [13]), the transmission at IP level can be affected by several disturbs, depending on the specific conditions, such as network traffic conditions and network congestion.

Figure 7.4: General architecture of a Broadband Satellite Multimedia (BSM) [13].

The internet connection can suffer from strong fluctuations and causes several aleatory disturbs to

Page 20: Deliverable D 2.2 IP impairments models (revised version)

G A 826152 P a g e 20 | 93

the transmission, such as delays, packet loss and jitter of IP packets. This last delay is not measurable in any way because it depends on the IP network that is crossed, and it is independent from the satellite link. For this reason, in scientific literature of communication networks the recognized method is to apply statistical distributions to the IP traffic through different statistical models. The Emulradio4Rail satellite emulator can implement the following statistical models at IP level: normal, uniform, Pareto and Pareto generalized for delays. The packet loss can be also set through a percentage value. Moreover, it can apply the statistical models of delays and the percentage values of packet loss in all the three transmission segments: terminal-satellite, satellite-gateway and gateway-server. The statistical distributions describe the trend of delays (often very onerous) and critical fluctuations around the average value. These models can evaluate the behaviour of the network even in extreme conditions and also well outside of realistic scenarios, in order to consider "worst case" scenarios, sometimes unattainable in practice. According to [34], the network traffic can be studied through two different approaches: empirical studies and statistical studies. The first ones are based on experimental trials carried out in a real context and with real equipment. The obtained results are useful for the enhancement of network protocol but cannot be generalized to model the Internet behaviour. In [35] the authors propose an empirical model for wide-area network. Around three million of TCP connections was collected and analysed in 15 wide area environments. However, the results showed the traffic in wide-area traffic cannot be expressed with a statistical model. The statistical studies consider the statistical model of Internet traffic. The first statistical models were based on Poisson distribution, since it assumed that the packets reach the destination with a Poisson distribution. With the advent of World Wide Web, the packets can arrive to the destination not with a Poisson process, although TCP connections can be modelled with a self-similar behaviour. In the following some scientific works on IP traffic models and impairments are described. In [14] some congestion control algorithms of TCP are analysed in order to improve the performance. The satellite links are also simulated, being characterized by delays around the 250ms [15]. In this situation, we need a long time to recover the best size of the TCP window. Thanks to a discrete event-based network simulator (such as NS2), the author has the flexibility to choose the percentage of the packets to be delayed and the distributions of the delays in a random way. The author considers a Web-like Traffic, characterised by a short-term flow with N packets sent after T seconds from the start. N is modelled with a uniform distribution (between 10 and 20) and the T period with a Pareto distribution. The following figure shows the results obtained using an IP traffic modelled with statistical distributions of delays. The fluctuations of throughput (Mbps) around the mean value are shown. The need of packet reordering is simulated by a random choose of packets through a uniform distribution and a subsequent delay of them. The packet delay is also based on a normal distribution with mean 25 ms and variance 8 ms. In [18] the authors realized a link emulation platform for aeronautical application. The adopted methodology is based on passive measurements techniques in order to validate the traffic generation process. The traffic generator is successively configured according to different traffic

Page 21: Deliverable D 2.2 IP impairments models (revised version)

G A 826152 P a g e 21 | 93

profiles through a probability distribution for the packet size and packet inter-arrival time. A final fitting procedure is applied to validate the probability distribution for each parameter. The delay variation of geostationary satellites is performed through a normal distribution around the mean value of 250 ms. The authors consider a Pareto-Normal distribution (with a mean value of 200 ms and standard deviation of 200 ms) to model the inter-packet gaps. In [19] the authors site the main features of Netem for traffic emulation. It can emulate variable delay, loss, duplication and re-ordering. Due to the non-uniform behaviour of the network, the distribution of delay follows statistical models as Normal, Pareto, etc.. In [20] the authors perform QoS network measurements using a real video traffic passing through NetEm emulator which delay and jitter. In [21] the authors focus on the end-to-end QoS of IP over terrestrial and Satellite Network (NGSN) using FTP protocol. In [22] the main features of Netem are described together with the statistical distribution for impairment of IP traffic. In [23] the authors focus on the need of an accurate and realistic description and model of a network. There are many difficulties due to the different factors, parameters and scale of Internet. In order to emulate a realistic traffic over a communication network, the authors compare several network emulators, included Netem emulator. Regarding the generating model for IP traffic, packets are generated and treated with a distribution model. Among the configurable parameters, the network emulator proposed by the authors provides the data flows according to different random statistical distributions used for model the size of the packets., such as Constant, Uniform, Exponential, Pareto. In [24] the authors provide a review of the network emulators known in literature, based on Linux Operating System. It can impair the data flows and can apply some queuing disciplines. In [25] the author presents the main approach for accelerating the satellite connection in a WAN environment, together with satellite simulation for testing procedures to run on virtual machines. Netem network emulator is used. In [26] the author provides a full overview and explanation of Traffic Analysis methodologies and traffic models for analysing the requirements of a communication network at IP level. The traffic analysis enables a collection of data such as the average load or the bandwidth requirements for the specific applications, trough measurable metrics called key Performance Indicator (KPI). The traffic models provide important information for network planning and dimensioning to guarantee the required quality and to predict the network performance. An IP traffic ca be modelled as single entities arriving from a source to destination. Its mathematical representation is Point Process: it is formed by subsequent time intervals (T0, T1, T2,.., Tn). Point processes can be modelled as a Counting Process or an Inter-Arrival Time (IAT) Process. The first model is a stochastic process with a continuous time and non negative values, while the second one is process characterized by a non-negative sequenced values representing the length of the time interval between two entities [27]. In [27] the Poisson Distribution Model is described, in terms of probability distribution function and density function. The Pareto Distribution Process, the Weibull Distribution Process, the ON-OFF model, the Interrupted Poisson Process (IPP) and the Markov Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP) are described in [28]. In [29] the authors describe the methodologies and results obtained from fitting the data collected on a real network and validated with different traffic models, such as uniform, normal, lognormal, Pareto, Weibull and gamma. The uniform and lognormal gives a good balance of length and size

of collected data. In [30] the authors propose a new model for predict the connection bandwidth, based on statistical parameters of the collected data and available KPIs. They considered a Gaussian distribution (or normal distribution) as traffic model. In [31] and [32] the implementation of Gaussian distribution is also considered to model the Internet traffic. In [33] the authors propose an IP traffic model for the analysis of IP-based Internet traffic. In [36] the author remarks the necessity to analyse the performance of satellite connections. They are crucial in zones where Internet is not available. In this sense, the satellite offers to the end user the connectivity to Internet. However, congestion and long round-trip times (RTT) issues can be experienced with the satellite connections. The simulation methodology is presented, together with the simulation tool: Iperf as packet generator and Netem as network emulator. Thanks to the cooperation with Pacific ISP, the author models the data flow through the following statistics: (i) median size: under 500 bytes, (ii) a mean size: around 50 kB, and (iii) a maximum: around 1 GB. Not only the scientific community has been interested to traffic analysis and network performance, including the IP impairments disturbing the IP communications, but also the industrial communications. In fact, in the last years they introduced in the market several commercial emulator equipment. Most of them implement the IP impairment generation according to the TIA-921 and ITU G.1050, in order to apply the IP impairment values included in the range described by the standard. The statistical distributions are also available for random IP impairments. In [37] the manufacturer describes the main feature of IP emulator equipment. It is compliant with the values indicated by TIA-921 and ITU G.1050 standard. The values of delay can be set as Gaussian distribution or in terms of specific mean value and standard deviation settings. In [38] the equipment vendor cites the main IP impairments affecting the communication networks, such as: (i) frame loss and packet Loss (caused by noise, dirty fiber or connector, congestion,), (ii) static delay (caused by propagation due to distance, congestion, queuing or processing), and (ii) delay variation (caused by packet Jitter, congestion, queuing or processing). Random impairments can be generated through the involvement of VLAN, MPLS, MAC address and, IP address. Aleatory impairments are implemented using several statistical distributions, as periodic, Poisson, Gaussian and uniform. In [39] the author gives an overview of how a network can be emulated with network emulators based on Linux Operating System. The “tc” (Traffic control), already present in Netem open source tool, offers many features for network emulator, including the IP impairment and disturbs. A quick tutorial on tc tool and the most important line commands are presented. The different distribution models for delay variation are also described, such as normal, pareto, pareto-normal. In [40] the vendor describes the technical solutions for testing and emulating the satellite connections and applications, while in [41] the network impairment emulator is presented in order to simulate the real conditions of an IP network. It means that network latency, network delay variation (jitter), bandwidth, and packet loss values can be added to the transmission. In [42] the vendor gives the possibility to customize the traffic load with different statistical distributions, such as Uniform, Ramp, Sawtooth, Fixed, Normal, Step, and Step-Sawtooth. Given the IP traffic injected into the Emulradio Satellite Emulator, it can disturb the traffic modifying the behaviour of IP packets, in terms of delay statistical distributions and packet loss percentage.

Both statistical models for delay variation and packet loss percentage can be set for each satellite transmission segment: (i) terminal-to-satellite, (ii) satellite-gateway, and (iii) gateway-server. The following section summarizes the statistical distributions for delay variations implemented within the Emulradio Satellite Emulator. The Packet Loss can be set as percentage value.

Delay distribution The distribution models for the implemented IP impairments are as follows. We considered the classical following distributions. Normal Distribution

where µ is the mean or expectation of the distribution (and also its median and mode), σ is its standard deviation, 𝜎𝜎2 is the variance of the distribution Pareto distribution

Specific end-to-end delay model In the Emulradio4Rail satellite subsystem it is also possible to put a specific additional model as IP impairment according to particular experimental data campaign. For example, RDL team defined a specific end-to-end (E2E) delay model of a satellite communication system for railway environment. In particular, in [10] the authors from RDL team propose a two states model allowing for reproducing the main behavioural characteristics of the end-to-end delay, as observed

experimentally during the 3inSAT research project. In fact, the experimental activities have been developed in the framework of the ESA ARTES 20 3InSat Project [11]. The project focused on the realization of a railway testbed for testing satellite navigation and communication technologies for rail applications, under real operational conditions. Data was recorded over the railway line connecting the towns of Cagliari and Olbia in the Sardinia Island (Italy). The considered railway line is about 300 km long and the maximum allowed train speed was 150 km/h, actually limited to 130 km/h (which is the maximum speed of the Minuetto Diesel traction trains used on the line). The E2E delay model proposed in [10] correlates the receive time Ri of the generic i-th message with the corresponding transmit time Ti:

𝑅𝑅𝑖𝑖 = 𝑇𝑇𝑖𝑖 + 𝜏𝜏𝑖𝑖 , 𝑒𝑒 = −∞, … , +∞ (7.5) where 𝜏𝜏𝑖𝑖 is the E2E delay. The proposed model allows for generating the stochastic process 𝜏𝜏𝑖𝑖 modelling the occurrence of the event of packet receiving.

Packet loss From a packet loss point of view, the Emulradio4rail satellite subsystem is able to provide a specific packet loss percentage for a few seconds and change it for the rest of the emulation session [D3.2]. The choice can be also made randomly, a random packet loss generation is possible as IP impairment. It depends on the IP transmission considered.

7.2. IP impairment obtained with Wi-Fi and LTE bearers

Introduction As indicated in Figure 7.3, in Task 3.2 we have performed experimental assessment with Wi-Fi and LTE bearers, in some specific scenarios during long period, compared to the results reported in D3.2. These results are processed to derive statistical models for the different metrics measured: Packet Error Rate (PER), jitter and effective transmission rate. As explained in [D3.2], effective transmission rate, jitter and packet loss metrics are measured with the Wi-Fi and LTE emulation systems with UDP traffic. Several radio channel models have been considered. We propose here a methodology based on the results obtained with a set of channel models. In the following, we use the channel models proposed in D1.3, to emulate the railway environment. We also include a Wi-Fi interferer following the TYPE I interference addition proposed in D1.2 [D1.2]. The aim in D2.2 is not to present exhaustive results but to present the methodology followed. The obtained results constitute a proof of concept, regarding the possibility to obtain IP impairments models as proposed initially to be able to translate, at IP level, the influence of Radio channel models. Due to Covid-19 we had no possibility to test with industrial prototypes the effects of these obtained IP impairment models. A full description of the obtained results is given in annex. Only one example is given in this section to highlight the methodology and results are summarized in

Table 7.4 and Table 7.7. We draw the attention on two points:

• It is important to consider rare events, which will impact the choice of the distribution used for modelling. For instance, we consider the Jitter and it is important to take into account that large values can happen, but only rarely. They threaten a targeted quality of service. Heavy tailed distributions will prove to be better models.

• It is also important to consider joint modelling: parameters are dependent and good models have to account for that.

A future step in the modelling consideration will be to take into account the time evolution of the KPIs. Two packets transmitted closely in time will face channel conditions that can be more or less correlated depending on the time between the transmissions, the channel characteristics and the train speed.

Wi-Fi results In the following we propose a methodology to derive models from the experimental results obtained with the Emulradio4Rail platforms. The methodology is quite general and can be easily extended to more complex models if necessary. However, the proposed models (statistical and linear relationship as will be explained) result in a good fit in almost all the encountered cases. Fourteen different tests have been carried out in the Wi-Fi emulation platforms described in [D2.1] and [D3.1], where the IPERF tool has been used in order to obtain the target KPIs (effective throughput jitter and PER). Different IPERF runs have been carried out, in which different channel models (extracted from [D1.3]) or channel setups have been used. A test with a Wi-Fi interferer is also presented. The following table 7.2 sums up the characteristics of each test.

Figure 7.5 presents the evolution overtime of the throughput the jitter and the packet loss obtained in the case of flat channel without Doppler (Test T0). This case would correspond to a train that is stopped or moving slowly when coming close to a train station.

Figure 7.5: Throughput, jitter and packet loss in the case of flat fading

In the following we are going to model the jitter and the effective throughput jointly. We notice that the packet loss is constant and null. This can be expected in this slowly varying channel. One thing that is important to notice also is that the jitter and the effective throughput are correlated random variables as shown in Figure 7.6.

Figure 7.6: Jitter as a function of throughput in the case of flat fading

To create the model we will use two steps:

• First, we model the Jitter. We proceed to a model selection. We analysed the acceptability of several distribution (log-normal, Rayleigh, Weibull, Gamma, α-Stable, Nakagami). We then perform a Kolmogorov-Smirnov [12] goodness-of-fit hypothesis test. If a value 0 is obtained, this means that the proposed distribution cannot be rejected.

• Second, we consider a linear relation between the throughput and – log10(jitter). The residue (res=throughput+ log10(jitter)) is then modelled with a Gaussian random variable.

The results of the goodness of fit test are given in Table 7.3. In that case, four distributions pass the test. The highest p-value is obtained with the α-stable distribution. To illustrate the good fit, we present in Figure 7.7 the two distributions with the highest p-value along with the distribution estimated for the data. The good fit is well illustrated and the importance of the tail of the distribution (presence of large jitter but rarely) is shown resulting in the heavy tailed stable best fit.

Figure 7.7: Probability density function and cumulative distribution of the jitter (data, Gamma distribution, α-stable distribution)

The second step is to model the throughput. As noticed in Figure 7.8 a strong correlation exists between throughput and jitter. If T is the Throughput and J the jitter, we propose the following model:

𝑇𝑇 = −𝑎𝑎. 𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑙𝑙10(𝐽𝐽) + 𝑏𝑏 + 𝑁𝑁 (7.6) where N is a Gaussian noise, a and b are constant that have to be fitted. Figure 7.9 represents −𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑙𝑙10(𝐽𝐽) as a function of T. A straight line tendency is observed. The title gives the equation of the mean straight line. Figure 7.8 represents the residue 𝑁𝑁 = 𝑇𝑇 + 𝑎𝑎. 𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑙𝑙10(𝐽𝐽) −𝑏𝑏, its probability density function (from the data and the fitted Gaussian model).

To summarize: the statistical model is given by:

1. A distribution for the Jitter with a given set of parameters. 2. A linear relationship between the log of the jitter and the throughput (two coefficients a

and b. 3. The mean and variance of the residual noise.

To generate a new sample, you draw the jitter J from the specified distribution, draw the residual noise and calculate 𝑇𝑇 = −𝑎𝑎. 𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑙𝑙10(𝐽𝐽) + 𝑏𝑏 + 𝑁𝑁. The following Table 7.4 summarizes different models obtained for different tested configuration in the Wi-Fi cases that have been presented in Table 7.2. Time evolution has also to be further studied. Jitter given in seconds; throughput in Mbits/s.

Table 7.4: Parameters for the different models of the Wi-Fi KPIs (jitter and throughput)

Tests with LTE Different tests have been carried out in the LTE emulation platforms described in [D2.1] and [D3.1], where the IPERF tool has been used in order to obtain the target KPIs (effective throughput jitter and PER). We have considered the Hilly terrain 3 taps channel model extracted from [D1.3] with tests during 40 min. The LTE configuration considered is also described in [D3.2]. The speed of the train is set at 200 km/h. We performed the test in UL and DL with UDP IPERF traffic equal 1 Mbits/s. The following table 7.5 sums up the characteristics of the two tests. The results presented correspond to the OAI software version considered in [D3.2].

LTE Downlink For the LTE system, very similar steps are used for the modelling. We work with similar KPIs: throughput, jitter and packet error rate. In the following, we are going to model the jitter and the throughput jointly. To follow our modelling steps we illustrate it on the results obtained with hilly I (3 taps) channel model scenario (measurement in DL at 1Mbits/s UDP traffic sent with a packet length equals to 1450 bytes 200 km/h during 40 min). Figure 7.10 shows the evolution versus time for the three KPI.

Figure 7.10: PER, Jitter and in DL transmission at 200 km/h with 1 Mbits/s sent in the case of the hilly I (3 taps)

We notice that the throughput in DL is constant during the whole emulation. One thing that is important to notice also is that the jitter and the PER are correlated random variables as shown in Figure 7.11.

The second step is to model the PER. As noticed in Figure 7.13, a strong correlation exists between PER and jitter. If P is the PER and J the jitter, we propose the following model:

𝑃𝑃 = 𝑎𝑎. 𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑙𝑙10(𝐽𝐽) + 𝑏𝑏 + 𝑁𝑁 (7.7)

where N is a Gaussian noise, a and b are constant that have to be fitted. Figure 7.13 represents P as a function of 𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑙𝑙10(𝐽𝐽). A straight line tendency is observed.

To summarize: the statistical model is given by: 1. A distribution for the Jitter with a given set of parameters. 2. A linear relationship between the log of the jitter and the throughput (two coefficients a

and b. 3. The mean and variance of the residual noise.

To generate a new sample, you draw the jitter J from the specified distribution, draw the residual noise and calculate

𝑃𝑃 = 𝑎𝑎. 𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑙𝑙10(𝐽𝐽) + 𝑏𝑏 + 𝑁𝑁. (7.8) LTE UpLink The KPIs obtained over a long measurement period (40 min) are given Figure 7.15. We can observed important variations, then, they are much more difficult to analyse.

Figure 7.15: Throughput, jitter and PER in UL transmission at 200 km/h with 1 Mbits/s sent in the case of the hilly I (3 taps)

The Jitter, PER and throughput drawn as function of each other are given on Figure 7.16. It is quite difficult to deduce clear models as we did for the DL transmission. The probability density function of the jitter for instance cannot be well modelled with a continuous random variable (see figure 7.17) and further solutions should be studied. We remind here that with the OAI version considered for the project we observed a lack of performances while considering stress tests with IPERF particularly in UL direction as explained in [D3.2].

8. Conclusions and perspectives We can draw several conclusions from these tests. The KPI modelling is very similar in Wi-Fi whatever the channel, with or without interference and for the LTE downlink. The results obtained with uplink transmission need further studies with new release of Open Air Interface system as explained in [D3.2]. Nevertheless, the presented methodology is valid.

• First of all, for the Jitter, the α-stable distribution fits most of the time. The log-normal also, but except in rare situations (T5, downlink LTE) its p-value is smaller (which means that the stable model fits better). The main conclusion is that it is important to account for the tail of the distributions that will model rare events. Those events are those that will degrade the communications. Especially if safety is involved, it is very important to take them into account. The use of stable distribution is highly recommended.

• The linear model between the log of the jitter and the bandwidth or the PER is a good fit. It could certainly be improved however, and a special care should be taken to check if the proposed relationship is sufficient to account for all the dependence between the two parameters.

• The interference does not change the model but significantly modifies the parameters and increasing the tail; indeed the characteristic exponent is slightly smaller than one, which corresponds to a significantly heavier tail.

• In most of the cases, the characteristic exponent of the stable distribution modelling the jitter is between 1.35 and 1.75. In some cases, it can be smaller, meaning a stronger impulsiveness in the jitter. This happens in the WIFI case with an interferer. The skewness is always 1, the jitter being always positive. Important variations can be noticed in the dispersion and in the location parameters.

• We can find some similarities in the different residues in the different contexts but further analysis is needed.

The next step to go further in the statistical analysis will be to analyse and model the time evolution of the KPIs but unfortunately it was not possible within the project duration. Nevertheless, we consider that the proof of concept related to the methodology for derivation of IP impairment models from the experimental assessment is done. A large amount of tests with various channel models and various perturbations and various scenarios should be performed to obtain different KPIs models representative of Radio Railway environments at IP level. This constitute a perspective of the project. Then, in case that the RF channel emulators are not included on testing over real traffic, the use of the different statistical equations derived for the different IP impairments can be used to emulate the air-gap impact over real IP traffic. This can be implemented using the Netem tool or similar, which is the same approach followed for the satellite link emulation at IP level, as described in section 7.1.

cutting5taps_10M-50kmh-60min Next measurements have been taken during a long period of time. Figure 61 clearly show that the evolution of the environment encountered leads to several possible cases. The behavior clearly change in the middle of the test. It is clear also in Figure 63 where the throughput is represented as a function of the jitter in log scale, we have three different behavior. We analyze the two cases where the throughput is about 100 kbytes/s and the jitter varies from 10 to nearly 150 ms. The third case with a very low throughput has few points and the cause of such situations should be further analyzed.
