The 5G PPP work group on Test, Measurement and KPI Validation prepared a white paper in order to provide some insight on the factors that practically affect performance of deployed experimental 5G systems in the field. The white paper includes mainly the views of Phase III infrastructure projects of the...

On 2nd August 2021, the 5G PPP work group on architecture published version 4.0 of its series of white papers entitled “View on 5G Architecture”. This version includes the views of 5G PPP Phase III of the and is now available for public consultation. Among other projects, 5G-VINNI significantly contributed...

5G-VINNI introduces the notion of 5G-VINNI Business Layer, which is a collection of BSS and OSS functions required for the operation of pre-commercial 5G testbeds and commercial 5G networks. In this white paper, we present the capabilities and design of the business layer, and a plan for the phased rollout...

5G-VINNI published experimental data used to validate “An Exposed Closed-Loop Model for Customer-Driven Service Assurance Automation”. The related research paper will be presented at EUCNC 2021. In the paper we propose an exposed closed-loop model based on service exposure which is meant to automate service assurance tasks like auto-scaling in...

The verticals task force of the TMV work group of the 5G PPP just released the white paper on service performance measurement methods over 5G experimental networks. This white paper analyses vertical use cases of various domains for their performance KPIs and their mapping to 5G network KPIs. The scope is...
