5G Open Core Hardware

Abstract

This project aimed to develop an experimentation platform for 5G using commercially available software, firmware and hardware that is being used to standup experimental 5G Stand Alone (5G SA) networks. The commercially available systems are not natively set up for experimentation design and this work would develop a system capable of performing experimentation. This platform will need to be easily reconfigurable for each experiment, capture all configurations across key equipment before running an experiment, record and store the data during an experiment and be able to recall settings and data from prior experiments while being able to emulate and replay prior experiments. The project began in the process of creating this platform.
