论文摘要
5G代表了与前几代的革命性转变,鉴于其设计以网络软件化为中心。在这种范式的变化中,云本地解决方案被广泛认为是垂直应用开发的未来,因为它们具有增强的灵活性和对复杂和动态场景的适应性。在这种情况下,我们提出了一个实验框架,该框架具有空中传输,该框架可以解决两个关键方面,以增强5G和超越网络的生命周期管理:5G核心网络功能(NFS)和端到端监视的云本地部署。首先,我们在Kubernetes群集中将Open5GS和基于Prometheus的监视作为容器化网络功能(CNF),该集群跨越具有多层网络,具有多层网络,具有多端口的边缘计算(MEC)主机。然后,我们通过通过Grafana仪表板展示两个方案的基础架构资源和无线电指标来证明端到端监视系统;一个专门用于用户平面功能(UPF)重新选择,另一个用于用户移动性。
5G represents a revolutionary shift with respect to previous generations given its design centered on network softwarization. Within such a change of paradigm, cloud-native solutions are widely regarded as the future of vertical application development because of their enhanced flexibility and adaptability to complex and dynamic scenarios. In this context, we present an experimental framework with over-the-air transmissions that tackles two critical aspects for enhancing the lifecycle management of 5G and beyond networks: cloud-native deployments of 5G core network functions (NFs) and end-to-end monitoring. First, we deploy Open5GS and Prometheus-based monitoring as containerized network functions (CNFs) in a Kubernetes cluster spanning a multi-tier network with a multi-access edge computing (MEC) host. We then demonstrate the end-to-end monitoring system by showcasing via Grafana dashboards both infrastructure resources and radio metrics of two scenarios; one devoted to user plane function (UPF) re-selection and the other to user mobility.
