Introduction & Background:
Open source 5G RAN SW Reference architecture for Industrial Edge solutions :
- Provides more flexibility, scalability, and adaptability to rapidly evolving 5G technology
- Enables MNO to customize their network more easily and cost-effectively, as well as to build virtualized network functions, such as base stations, that can be deployed in both small & macro cells
- Avoids Vendor lock-in situation, HW platform dependency from the commercially licensed SW SDK
- Especially L1 Hi-PHY layer needs for an alternative SW reference architecture in lieu of FlexRAN, opening up new open source business models that create operational value, generate new revenue streams, reduce costs and enhance competitiveness
- Edge applications are creating an increase in the complexity of the overall edge ecosystem, driving the adoption of open source software and meaningful standards
- Demonstrate various Industrial Edge solutions based open source platform infrastructure to meet the changing requirements of 5G networks
Description:
Make open source 5G platform infrastructure available for Industrial Edge application & use case
- Ready-to-use Open source based 5G Reference SW stack application
- Implement O-RAN test app. Package to deploy open source 5G platform infrastructure
- Vendor-neutral, loosely-coupled 5G Platform framework that provides the choice to plug and play from different 5G network components
- 5G Core : Full SA 3GPP-compliant OAI-5G Core Network (CN) project, Containerized UPF
- O-CU/DU : 3GPP compatible 5G gNB RAN SW stack as open source software
- O-RU : O-RU simulator or ORAN compatible RU
- Collaborate with 5G Edge HW/SW solution vendors
Realize various type of commercial-ready Industrial Edge application and use cases on open source 5G platform infrastructure
To make open source 5G solution available for Industrial Edge application/usecase.
...
To enable end-to-end demo and test/measurement setups, it’s important to figure out a way to have a full, end-to-end O-CU/O-DU/O-RU combination in place.
