An Experimentation Platform for Automated Assessment of Multimedia Services over Mobile Networks

Abstract

At the dawn of the 5G era, 5G networks are expected to expose network capabilities to vertical industries, as an effort of introducing innovative 5G-aware services. This unprecedented aspect in service provisioning over mobile networks implies that the vertical industries should have access to 5G experimentation platforms during the service development process to guarantee compliance and assess the capabilities provided by the underlay network. In this context, we developed and integrated an experimentation platform for automated experimenting over mobile networks, with monitoring and management capabilities, tailored to multimedia services.
