Your team and your responsibilities
Team/division description
In the Toyota Motor Europe / R&D Group, the Technology Planning Incubation Division (TPI) has the mission to pick up key future communication and networking technologies and to get them included in the internal agenda.
To support the moving towards becoming a Mobility Company, the competencies on handling Big Data is now a key asset and a transversal team lead by TPI has been setup.
Your project
As intern you will be supporting the R&D team and,
1. Obtain a solid understanding of 5G communication systems and essential factors determining their performance,. through mobile network capabilities using NEF (Network Exposure Functions), to gain benefits using telecommunication features, and to deliver a documented software outcome accordingly.
Focus on learning the 3GPP standard, detailing OpenAPIs (Application Programming Interfaces) for the Service-Based Architecture (), to understand how to access the wide range of those capabilities through API (Application Programming Interfaces) to enable Automotive AF (Application Function) to dynamically interact with an adapt to networks in real-time.
2. Learn how to set up and to configure an integrated programming environment, using open-source packages, to write a software application (AF) enabling Toyota engineers to request specific “slices” of an MNO (Mobile Network Operator), such as APIs developed under the CAMARA project ().
More specifically, write and execute an initial AF (Application Function) that will request a defined Class of Service (CoS) to a mobile operator, on 5G SA (Stand Alone) network.
3. Contribute to defining how the above API environment will evolve to a wider audience of engineers that will benefit from mobile network capabilities, proposing valuable changes or adaptation.
4. Define in alignment with Toyota engineers, the best 5G API postprocessing and analysis of obtained Data collection and acquired results, including the delivery of documented insights to complete a “global picture” in building a broader Automotive system.
