Architectures for provision of internet services for high speed trains and TAP association problem

Abstract

In present scenario, high-speed train can be considered as a speedy and essential public transportation system, which brings meaningful comfort to passengers. In this paper, we investigate all possible architectures to efficiently provide broadband internet services for passengers onboard. We compare throughput of all possible architectures. Finally we examine implementation of new technologies like LTE, MIMO and MASSIVE MIMO for high speed train to enhance data rates. we discuss advantages and challenges for the implementation of new technology. Finally, We did simulation for high speed network which is combination of dedicated infrastructure and cellular system. We uses Trackside Access Point(TAP)parallel with the track. Then we discuss TAP association problem scenario. To get access of TAP service, user will decide whether to join in the queue or not and plot simulation for the same.
