Abstract(in English) Field trials of the fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication system using 28 GHz band at which almost 1-GHz band will be available have been performed all over the world. To realize large coverage at such a high frequency band, beamforming by Massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) is necessary to compensate large path loss. Furthermore, beam tracking which adaptively changes beam direction according to user location is an important function to support user mobility. Authors already conducted field trials of 28 GHz-band 5G transmission using a high speed motor car considering use of 5G in railway. However, the environment of the trail was not on railway track but on road. Also it was not impact how position of mobile stations in the railway car affects the performance of 5G transmission. Thus we conducted 5G filed trials in the actual railway environment. This report reveals results of downlink performances using railway cars traveling at 90 km/h.
