Preparing 5G for Critical Communications in Emergencies through simulation

What is it about?

The 5G-CriCo project explores running mission-critical services for first responders on Luxembourg’s public 5G network. It combines simulations, AI-based orchestration, and real tests to ensure ultra-reliable, low-latency, and resilient communications.

Why is it important?

This paper identifies the key scientific and technical challenges of running mission-critical communications over 5G networks. It outlines the design of a simulation cockpit to model, predict, and test network behavior under emergency scenarios. By systematically addressing metrics, dynamic resource planning, resilience, and co-simulation complexity, it provides a structured foundation for future research and experimentation in 5G MCx deployment.
