5G Test Network Using srsRAN
As part of a master's degree thesis, a 5G test network based on the open source platform srsRAN for the base station (gNB consisting of a central unit and distributed unit) was put into operation. Open5GS is used as the 5G core network and an Ettus Research B210 Software Defined Radio (SDR) is used as the radio unit on the network side. The 5G test network allows commercial 5G mobile phones and modems to be connected within a Faraday cage and enables investigations into the performance and optimization of 5G networks and devices for research and development projects as well as in teaching.
