An End-to-End Testing Ecosystem for 5G the TRIANGLE Testing House Test Bed

Abstract

Mobile applications will be a dominant element in the 5G domain. Ensuring the correct and efficient behaviour of the applications and devices on which they run becomes a critical factor to ensure the mobile communications market meets the expectations of final users. The EU project TRIANGLE is building a framework to help app developers and device manufacturers in the evolving 5G sector to test and benchmark new mobile applications, devices, and services utilizing existing and extended FIRE testbeds. This innovative framework will facilitate the evaluation of the Quality of Experience and enable certification for new mobile applications and devices.

Enhanced Mobile Broadband as Enabler for 5G: Actions from the Framework of the 5G-DRIVE Project

“…In the following subsections we list the relevant 5G KPIs related to the radio access network and use as a reference for different trial sites to conduct trials under the same baseline. The sources of the KPI definitions come from various prior works such as: (i) the ITU-R M.2410-0 [23]; (ii) the NGMN 5G Trial and Testing Initiative Precommercial Network Trials Framework Definition [24]; (iii) 5G-PPP KPI definitions ([25]- [30]), and; (iv) the framework proposed by 3GPP in TS 28.554 [31]. Note that the KPIs defined in the above documents are used to provide a throughout performance evaluation of 5G systems, within a broader scope.…”

An End-to-End Automation Framework for Mobile Network Testbeds

“…Underperformance of apps or unexpected failures due to the interaction of different apps in the same device could be detected with proper testing and qualification methods. e main objective of the TRIANGLE project is to develop the TRIANGLE testbed [2] for the testing of applications and the performance of devices when running apps.…”
