IoT: Internet of Things
Special instrumentation can help bullet-proof the communication equipment powering next-generation vehicles. CRAIG HENDRICKS ANRITSU CO.
The roll-out of 5G is bringing a host of real-time Internet-of-Things (IoT) capabilities to automotive designs. Use cases such as enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB, high-data-rate use cases for 4G LTE and 5G NR services that allows a high data rate across a wide coverage area) and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) are empowering autonomous vehicles, infotainment systems and security programs. They are also allowing automobiles to leverage smart cities systems (V2N). But these capabilities create a new set of design verification hurdles for engineers. One requirement associated with emerging automotive designs utilizing 5G technologies is cybersecurity. Prevention of attacks that can create dangerous scenarios in automotive and other mission-critical applications is a new design consideration for engineers developing components and systems. Much of this concern is due to vulnerabilities caused by the complex architecture associated with 5G. For example, instead of centralized hardware-based switching, 5G
