Experience Building A 5G Testbed Platform

Mona Ghassemian, Paul Muschamp, Dan Warren

英文摘要：

The 5G VINNI testbed infrastructure project provides 5G facilities for pan-European services. Within the project, the UK site is one of the 5G-VINNI facilities that targets developing a flexible and dynamic test environment which can be adapted to meet requirements from H2020 funded projects as well as external trials, to enable vertical industries to assess 5G networks in the context of advanced digital use cases. In this paper, we present a full overview of the 5G test infrastructure developed at the UK 5G VINNI facility, including backhaul, edge, slicing, interworking and validation. This work presents an operator's experience in setting up a testbed facility and in engaging with different verticals conducting their research projects using the 5G facility, and the results and benefits to the industry. Furthermore, the lessons learned from the design, installation, operation and experimentation phases of the project are discussed.

Lessons from Four Years of PHONELAB Experimentation

Over the last four years we have operated a public smartphone platform testbed called PHONELAB. PHONELAB consists of up to several-hundred participants who run an experimental platform image on their primary smartphone. The experimental platform consists of both instrumentation and experimental changes to platform components, including core Android services and Linux. This paper describes the design of the testbed, the process of conducting PHONELAB experiments, and some of the research the testbed has supported. We also offer many lessons learned along the way, almost all of which have been l…

5G-CORNET: Platform as a Service

Practical testing of the latest wireless communications standards requires the availability of flexible radio frequency hardware, networking and computing resources. We are providing a Cloud-based infrastructure which offers the necessary resources to carry out tests of the latest 5G standards. The testbed provides a Cloud-based Infrastructure as a Service. The research community can access hardware and software resources through a virtual plat-form that enables isolation and customization of experiments. In other words, researchers have control over the preferred experimental architecture and…

srsLTE: An Open-Source Platform for LTE Evolution and Experimentation

Testbeds are essential for experimental evaluation as well as for product development. In the context of LTE networks, existing testbed platforms are limited either in functionality and/or extensibility or are too complex to modify and customise. In this work we present srsLTE, an open-source platform for LTE experimentation designed for maximum modularity and code reuse and fully compliant with LTE Release 8. We show the potential of the srsLTE library by extending the baseline code to allow LTE transmissions in the unlicensed bands and coexistence with WiFi. We also expand previous results o…

An Elastic IoT Device Management Platform

With the recent advancement of technologies over the past year, IoT has become a paradigm in which devices communicate with each other and the cloud to achieve various applications in multidisciplinary fields. However, developing, deploying, and experimenting with IoT applications are still tedious, expensive, and time-consuming due to the factors like heterogeneity of hardware and software. This is where an IoT testbed plays a vital role in aiding developers to test their applications without being deploying it to the target environment. In this paper, we present a testbed that is scalable fo…

TinySDR: Low-Power SDR Platform for Over-the-Air Programmable IoT Testbeds

Wireless protocol design for IoT networks is an active area of research which has seen significant interest and developments in recent years. The research community is however handicapped by the lack of a flexible, easily deployable platform for prototyping IoT endpoints that would allow for ground up protocol development and investigation of how such protocols perform at scale. We introduce tinySDR, the first software-defined radio platform tailored to the needs of power-constrained IoT endpoints. TinySDR provides a standalone, fully programmable low power software-defined radio solution that…

Prototyping Next-Generation O-RAN Research Testbeds with SDRs

Open RAN (O-RAN) defines an emerging cellular radio access network (RAN) architecture for future 6G wireless networks, emphasizing openness and intelligence which are considered the foundations of future 6G wireless networks. While the inherent complexity and flexibility of the RAN give rise to many new research problems, progress in developing solutions is hampered due to the lack of end-to-end, fully developed platforms that can help in pursuing use cases in realistic environments. This has motivated the formation of open-source frameworks available to the wireless community. However, the ra…

Vertical-oriented 5G platform-as-a-service: user-generated content case study

5G realizes an impactful convergence, where Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and cloud-native models become fundamental for profiting from the unprecedented capacity offered at the 5G Radio Access Network (RAN). For providing scalability and automation management over resources in 5G infrastructure, cloud-native and Platform as a service (PaaS) are proposed as solutions for paving the way for vertical applications in 5G. This paper leverages cloud-native models, PaaS, and virtual testbed instances to provide key platform provisioning and service life-cycle management features to a select…

EYEORG: A Platform For Crowdsourcing Web Quality Of Experience Measurements

Tremendous effort has gone into the ongoing battle to make webpages load faster. This effort has culminated in new protocols (QUIC, SPDY, and HTTP/2) as well as novel content delivery mechanisms. In addition, companies like Google and SpeedCurve investigated how to measure "page load time" (PLT) in a way that captures human perception. In this paper we present Eyeorg, a platform for crowdsourcing web quality of experience measurements. Eyeorg overcomes the scaling and automation challenges of recruiting users and collecting consistent user-perceived quality measurements. We validate Eyeorg's c…
