5G Simulation-Based Experimentation Framework for Vertical Performance Assessment

Abstract

5G is being designed as a common platform where multiple vertical applications will be able to co-exist and grow in a seamless manner. The diversity of the vertical requirements as well as the particular features of the 5G network itself, make it a real challenge to be able to assess or predict applications performance for those verticals. In this paper we motivate the fact that because of the very nature of verticals and 5G infrastructure, measurements alone will not be sufficient for application performance monitoring and prediction. We then propose a comprehensive framework to integrate those measurements in a simulation setting, presenting the key features and current roadblocks for an end-to-end wide-spread implementation.
