This research deals with the configuration and testing of a 5G Standalone (SA) network comprised purely of open-source software. Open5GS is used for implementing the 5G Core, whereas UERANSIM is utilized for simulating its radio access elements, i.e., gNodeB (gNB) and User Equipment (UE). The task is to investigate how far a virtual 5G network is practically viable, how it is configured, and how its performance behaves under a limited hardware setting typical of an academic institution. The functionality of a system is confirmed by observing, through analysis, control- and user-plane protocol exchanges between its constituent members, i.e., gNB, UE, and 5G Core, specifically, NGAP and GTP-U protocols. Principal network parameters like throughput, latency, packet jitter, and packet loss are analyzed by employing utilities like iperf3 and Wireshark. The report verifies that open-source software can reproduce an entire 5G system and hence is useful for purposes like teaching, prototyping, and future work related to optimization of a system and fine-tuning its performance.

摘要

This research deals with the configuration and testing of a 5G Standalone (SA) network comprised purely of open-source software. Open5GS is used for implementing the 5G Core, whereas UERANSIM is utilized for simulating its radio access elements, i.e., gNodeB (gNB) and User Equipment (UE). The task is to investigate how far a virtual 5G network is practically viable, how it is configured, and how its performance behaves under a limited hardware setting typical of an academic institution. The functionality of a system is confirmed by observing, through analysis, control- and user-plane protocol exchanges between its constituent members, i.e., gNB, UE, and 5G Core, specifically, NGAP and GTP-U protocols. Principal network parameters like throughput, latency, packet jitter, and packet loss are analyzed by employing utilities like iperf3 and Wireshark. The report verifies that open-source software can reproduce an entire 5G system and hence is useful for purposes like teaching, prototyping, and future work related to optimization of a system and fine-tuning its performance.
