Title: An Approach to the Lifecycle Management of Virtualized FRMCS Applications as a Service
Keywords: Future Railway Mobile Communication System, manageable applications, service-based architecture

Abstract: Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is a successor of the legacy railway communication system. Based on fifth generation mobile communication system, it enables automated and more efficient railway operation and enhances passenger services. The FRMCS critical and performance applications could be isolated from its underlying operating system and hardware using the technology of Network Function Virtualization (NFV). The paper presents an approach to the centralized management of virtualized FRMCS applications which simplifies deployment, improve security, and flexibility to access the FRMCS applications from different devices and locations. Basic management functionality related to FRMCS application lifecycle is identified and designed as a RESTful service.
