Our Lab has a 5G stand alone network, with 3GPP release 16 capabilities. The lab in Bucharest is extended to the 5G Lab in Gh Asachi Technical Univ of Iasi.

The lab infrastructure is composed by a series of software and hardware components, including open software tools, integrated into an end-to-end functionality scenario. The lab is equipped with latest generation of software and hardware solution for 5G SA RAN, 5G Core elements including but not limited to AMF, SMF, UPF, NSSF, NRF, advanced programable network solution, MANO functions  which is orchestrating Openstack cluster or Kubernetes cluster running as Cloud Native infrastructure.

This network makes the capabilities that we have in the lab suitable for Research and Development on a future commercial network as well as testing and validating application and products that one wants to deploy in the future network.

Beside this network an OpenRAN, OpenCORE implementation will also be available, in the lab, for future research. Alongside the private networks the are programable devices and off-the-shelf devices for IoT and 5G to be used for research or other services that can be contracted by companies or startups.

Private 5G SA indoor lab infrastructure 

Network Infrastructure key modules

• 5G Stand Alone Private Mobile Radio – core component of 5G infrastructure 
• 5G New Radio – the radio access component of the 5G infrastructure;
• Open RAN and Open CORE components based on the separation of the software from the hardware equipment allowing the virtualization of the functionality of the radio network or the core network and have the ability to run the system on CoTS (Commercial-of-the-Shelf) equipment and open interfaces;
• 5G open-source implementation – OAIbox MAX
• Edge Computing plays a key role as a technology that reduces the distance between users (applications) and services (data) and facilitates the stability of minimal latencies and transmission throughput, as required by services and applications.

Automation and orchestration: automation and orchestration software tools are deployed in the testbed, the systems solution for automating deployment, scaling, and management of applications.

Monitoring and AI capabilities: the testbed implements an advanced monitoring and data collection system capable for the data acquisition from the entire network testbed, including devices, in-slice performance, power consumption and computing performance.

Services: AI driven network, the testbed implements 5G services and orchestration for slicing with conflict resolution based on 5QI and QoS mapping in the end-to-end network, network orchestration, automation and proper cloud services instantiation and placement, through the distributed and decentralized computing environments, compute continuum readiness.

Cybersecurity threats detection and response capabilities include signature-based Network-based Intrusion Detection and Prevention, DDoS Detection and Mitigation, Network-based Malware Detection and Prevention and behavior-based detection of intrusion attempts
