This paper describes the end-to-end automation framework developed as part of the TRIANGLE project. The TRIANGLE project is devoted to the benchmarking of apps and devices in mobile networks. For that purpose, it is needed to ensure the repeatability in the behaviour of all the components of the mobile network during the execution of the same test. This is why one of the main objectives of the project was to develop an end-to-end automation framework to provide repeatable testing. This paper describes in detail the design and the implementation of the framework.

“…The Phase 3 program, which started in 2018, includes three infrastructure projects to provide 5G end-to-end facilities that can be used by several vertical industries to set up research trials meeting the 5G Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The 5GENESIS [3] project, in which ITIS Software participates, stands for "5th Generation End-to-end Network, Experimentation, System Integration, and Showcasing", and aims to validate KPIs in different use cases. The project is currently deploying across Europe five testing platforms that follow the same reference architecture in order to interoperate and expose APIs to verticals.…”

“…This problem has already been addressed in several research projects, where large research infrastructures are offered to external experimenters through the open calls approach. For instance, the ITIS Software 1 research institute is operating the TRIANGLE and 5GENESIS [1][2][3] platforms at University of Malaga and has supported more than 20 experiments of SMEs. From this experience, we have identified the following requirements: (1) larger outdoor areas of coverage, (2) more mobility options, (3) different spectrum bands, and (4) interconnection with the researcher's premises or with commercial users.…”

An Architecture for Creating Slices to Experiment on Wireless Networks

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Researchers in mobile technologies and services are currently requesting testbeds to validate their proposals in a realistic large-scale and controlled environment. Such demands are some times satisfied with private ad-hoc deployments in a given area of coverage. However, given national regulations related to the use of the spectrum and the cost of deployments, these solutions are not feasible for most researchers. In this paper, we introduce the architecture of the research infrastructure developed in the EuWireless project. EuWireless’ objective is to provide private networks that can be dynamically created as slices with different levels of configuration and control, as a cost-effective way to access large-scale testbeds with a licensed spectrum even in different countries. The paper focuses on the architecture of the Point of Presence, the key element in the EuWireless project, and how it will work in practice. We also present a proof of concept implementation that satisfies some of the design objectives and demonstrates the feasibility of the proposal.

“…Recently, the European 5G PPP Initiative launched three projects as part of Horizon 2020 that will address the challenge of creating 5G end-to-end facilities. One of these projects, 5GENESIS [23], will deploy ve large-scale platforms to compose a pan-European test platform addressing multiple vertical use cases. us, the architecture will be owned by each project, with an approach completely opposed to the SciWiNet vMNO.…”

This paper presents the design options for creating a Pan-European mobile network for research in the context of the European Horizon 2020 EuWireless project. The most likely direction is a platform that makes it easier to create network slices for research. In this context, we identify one promising technology to implement network slicing in 5G networks: the framework GÉANT Testbeds Service (GTS). GTS is currently a production service by GÉANT that offers remote construction and use of virtual testbeds for wired networks mapped to the real GÉANT infrastructure. These GTS-virtualized testbed environments conform to Software Define Networks (SDNs) principles and offer compute, storage, and switching resources, at scale and with line rate performance. In this paper, we explain how the current (wired oriented) GTS can be extended with the 5G components, such as radio access nodes (gNBs), transport networks, user devices, etc., in order to implement 5G network slices. Our first conclusion is that using GTS for EuWireless implementation is feasible, dramatically increasing the potential impact of this service in the research community.
