Efficient and error-free operation is essential for private 5G networks to derive the expected business benefits. Rohde & Schwarz offers mobile network testing solutions for all phases: spectrum clearance during rollout preparation, acceptance, regular verification or monitoring for predictive maintenance and troubleshooting. Private 5G networks must be highly reliable if they are to be successful in business-critical use cases. Network downtime is unacceptable, and any outages can have severe consequences, including financial losses and reputational damage. Our monitoring solution provides real-time, end-to-end network performance visibility that helps identify and resolve issues before they impact business. 

A unique feature in 5G is that it supports mobile base station configuration.  However, this introduces instability to the communication between both moving base station and UE.  On the other hand, the adoption of AI is rising exponentially, especially in near real-time detection of track damages using video analytics.  AI models however require contiguous large data stream for accurate inferencing.  The challenge is therefore to exploit mobile 5G base station configuration and yet support high volume contiguous data stream suitable for AI inferencing.

The POC developed a peer-to-peer type of communication protocol to allow reconstruction of large contiguous data stream suitable for real-time AI inferencing at the edge over unstable wireless connectivity.  It simulates a usage environment where the 5G base station is on a moving platform such as the train and streaming train track video for real-time damage inference at ground stations.  It also validates the operability of a 5G mobile base station.

Experience a 5G system driven by OpenAirInterface (OAI) and X410 USRP radios, with a high-performance PC running both the Centralized Unit (CU) and Distributed Unit (DU). One system acts as the gNB (5G base station), while the other serves as the UE (user equipment), enabling 5G-enabled devices (such as iPhones) to connect. The demo includes real-time uplink and downlink video streaming alongside full internet connectivity, showcasing the system's capabilities in high-bandwidth and low-latency environments.

This demo serves as a foundational platform for future positioning research using 5G Positioning Reference Signals (PRS). While positioning is not directly demonstrated here, the system provides a solid base for exploring high-accuracy location-based services, including indoor and outdoor positioning, navigation, and tracking, all utilizing 5G PRS. Moreover, the system enables testing and optimization of 5G network configurations, performance assessments, and the exploration of use cases such as low-latency communications and high-throughput applications.

Emulation is a critical tool in 5G-Advanced and 6G network testing due to the vast number of possible scenarios. At the Keysight booth, we will demonstrate how users can easily create a network digital twin for real-time network simulation and emulation, replicating real-world conditions and impairments. By incorporating real-world data and traffic loads, users can effectively evaluate network performance and end-user experiences across various conditions. Additionally, we will introduce the latest cost-effective 5G FR2 research tools for both lab testing and base station deployment in the field. 

Creating realistic 3D environments usually requires a complex and time-consuming process. It involves capturing data, processing it, and editing models before they can be used in a 3D scene, often requiring multiple tools and hardware. demoConstruct is an open-source platform that simplifies this process by providing a unified environment for (1) Real-time 3D reconstruction and integration into a shared scene, (2) Collaborative scene editing, and (3) VR exploration of the scene. A demonstration is set up to showcase how demoConstruct enables users to easily capture, edit, and experience a shared 3D scene together. The platform helps researchers and creators explore new ways to use near real-time 3D reconstruction, improving workflows and enhancing collaboration in scene authoring.

The project involves developing a robust maritime connectivity testbed that integrates multiple Radio Access Technologies (multi-RAT), including 5G, WiFi, and satellite connectivity, to ensure reliable communication in maritime environments.

Managing a fleet of drones to perform mission such as border patrolling, delivery service, disaster management, search & rescue operation and etc, requires the ability to control and manipulate multiple drones remotely and concurrently. Individual drone will be assigned a unique mission plan and uploaded to a drone for execution. During the course of mission execution, essential information coming from the drones, such as video feed, GPS location, speed and status event etc, allows the entire fleet to be traced and monitored in real-time. 5G communication forms the critical backbone of a reliable BVLOS, low latency and high bandwidth communication channel between the drones and the control platform. Control of multiple drones for concurrent BVLOS mission execution via 5G forms the basis of such use cases.

Our project leverages 5G-powered infrastructure-based cooperative mode to provide advanced situational awareness for both human-driven and autonomous vehicles (AVs). By utilizing real-time risk assessment, we enhance driver reaction times and road safety without relying on bandwidth-heavy video streaming.
