Benchmarking
One of the main missing features of testbed implementations are cost-effective means to benchmark the innovation. For this Open5GCore implements a benchmarking tool providing workloads for the quantitative evaluations of different customized core networks on top of different resource infrastructures as well as the processing of the results in graphical form.
Fraunhofer FOKUS
Providing quantitative evaluations of different customized core networks on top of different resource infrastructures
The benchmarking tool and environment include the following functional features:
- Flexible and intuitive gNB configurations
- Flexible subscriber mobility and load patterns
- Support for x10k emulated subscribers and x100 gNBs
- Support for N1/N2/N3 procedures
- Monitoring parameters - 50+ metrics including:
- Quality: Success rate, procedure delay at UE/gNB
- Performance: procedure delay, used compute and storage
- On demand extensible for different:
- RAN topologies or functionality,
- mobility and resource patterns
- interfaces towards the network
