Abstract

The fifth generation (5G) mobile networks have introduced new features compared to the previous generation that resulted in increased overall throughput and decreased latency. At the same time, the complexity of 5G-based standards and deployment scenarios is increasing. This further drives the development of software for testing new ideas and different 5G and Beyond-5G use cases in academia and industry. In this paper we propose a flexible end-to-end (E2E) standalone 5G system platform based on the Open Air Interface software, which is fully reprogrammable and customizable. We created a set of Linux shell scripts, which improves the ease of use of the software, speeding up the process of implementing different connectivity scenarios. We present the main capabilities of the platform and the achievable throughput and latency for different bandwidth parts. Setting the DL/UL Transmission periodicity to 2 ms, we measured a latency of 6.78 ms for the mean RTT value, which is acceptable for many applications requiring low latency.

增强 5G 性能：具有可定制功能的独立系统平台

与上一代网络相比，第五代（5G）移动网络引入了新功能，从而提高了总体吞吐量并降低了延迟。与此同时，基于 5G 的标准和部署方案的复杂性也在增加。这进一步推动了学术界和工业界用于测试新想法和不同 5G 及 Beyond-5G 用例的软件开发。在本文中，我们提出了一个灵活的端到端（E2E）独立 5G 系统平台，该平台基于开放式空中接口软件，可完全重新编程和定制。我们创建了一套 Linux shell 脚本，提高了软件的易用性，加快了实现不同连接方案的进程。我们将介绍该平台的主要功能以及不同带宽部分可实现的吞吐量和延迟。将 DL/UL 传输周期设为 2 毫秒，我们测得平均 RTT 值的延迟为 6.78 毫秒，这对于许多要求低延迟的应用来说是可以接受的。
