Monitoring and Analytics (Release B)
- 2021
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- This document describes the design and implementation of the 5GENESIS Monitoring & Analytics (M&A) framework in its Release B, developed within Task T3.3 of the project work plan. M&A Release B leverages and extends M&A Release A, which has been documented in the previous Deliverable D3.5 [1]. In particular, we present new features and enhancements introduced in this new Release compared to the Release A. We also report some examples of usage of the M&A framework, in order to showcase its integrated in the 5GENESIS Reference Architecture.

- Mobile networks have become ubiquitous and the primary means to access the Internet, and the traffic they generate has rapidly increased over the last years. The technology and service diversity in mobile networks call for extensive and accurate measurements to ensure the proper functioning of the networks and rapidly spot impairments. However, the measurement of mobile networks is complicated by their scale, and, thus, expensive, especially due to the diversity of deployments, technologies, and web services. In this paper, we present and provide access to the largest open international mobile network dataset collected using the MONROE platform spanning six countries, 27 mobile network operators, and 120 measurement nodes. We use them to run measurements targeting several web services from January 2018 to December 2019, collecting millions of TCP and UDP flows using these commercial mobile networks. We illustrate the data collection platforms and describe some of the main experiments. Besides a high-level overview of the dataset, we provide two practical use cases. First, we show how our data can be used as a proxy for web service performance. Second, we study the content delivery infrastructure of Facebook.

Measuring Roaming in Europe : Infrastructure and Implications on Users QoE
- 2021

Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. - : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). - 1536-1233 .- 1558-0660. ; 21:10, s. 3687-3699

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- "Roam like Home" is the initiative of the European Commission to end the levy of extra charges when roaming within the European region. As a result, people can use data services more freely across Europe. However, the implications of roaming solutions on network performance have not been carefully examined yet. This paper provides an in-depth characterization of the implications of international data roaming within Europe. We build a unique roaming measurement platform using 16 different mobile networks deployed in 6 countries across Europe. Using this platform, we measure different aspects of international roaming in 4G networks in Europe, including mobile network configuration, performance characteristics, and quality of experience. We find that operators adopt a common approach to implement roaming called Home-routed roaming. This results in additional latency penalties of 60 ms or more, depending on geographical distance. This leads to worse browsing performance, with an increase in the metrics related to Quality of Experience (QoE) of users (Page Load time and Speed Index) in the order of 15-20%. We further analyze the impact of latency on QoE metrics in isolation and find that the penalty imposed by Home Routing leads to degradation on QoE metrics up to 150% in case of intercontinental roaming. We make our dataset public to allow reproducing the results.

Deliverable D6.3 : Trials and experimentation (cycle 3)
- 2022
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- This deliverable presents the third and final cycle of trials and experimentation activities executed over 5GENESIS facilities. The document is the continuation of deliverables D6.1 and D6.2, in the sense that it captures tests carried out over the evolved infrastructures hosting 5GENESIS facilities following the methodology defined in the previous editions of this deliverable. The tests reported in this document focus on i) the final 5G infrastructure deployments that includes radio and core elements mostly in Stand-Alone (SA) deployment configurations based on commercial and open implementations, and ii) the various use cases/applications, some of them also involving field trials. Most of the tests described herein, especially the generic/lab ones are performed using the Open5GENESIS experimentation suite.

Experimentation and 5G KPI measurements in the 5GENESIS platforms

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The adoption of 5G has recently picked up pace and across the globe commercial deployments are more and more numerous. In addition to better performance, 5G brings, among others, management and operation flexibility, thus allowing industry verticals to exploit features of the telecommunication networks that go far beyond the new mobile access capabilities. As with any new technology, the integration, testing and validation of new vertical applications pose great challenges at both management and operational levels. In this context, there is an evident need for 5G infrastructure facilities that offer testing and validation capabilities through a flexible experimentation framework. This paper presents the 5GENESIS EU-funded research project Experimentation Facility and the results of the validation campaigns conducted in its five experimentation platforms. The tests and obtained results were facilitated by the 5GENESIS Suite, an open-source framework providing test automation and result analytics.
