Future X Research Lab. (FXR Lab.)5G Platform project – 5G-FORCE of 5GTNF Phase 3 2019-2020

• The success of the project based on the smart and flexible FXR Lab – test network

• The forthcoming FXR Lab is an evolution from the NetLeap network used in LTE so usable also for 4G evolution

• The FXR Lab offers an environment to test all kind of Future generation use cases

• The Architecture options 3x (Non Standalone) will be supported in the first phase and 2 (Standalone) a bit later

• Used Radio Network will use the bands allocated by LVM (Ministry of Transport and Communications) for Test, Development and Education purposes in Finland. In addition the radio

room makes possible to use other frequencies

• The rules to use the FXR Lab in rough level included to doc. “5G-FORCE Testbed User Agreements”

Different Interest groups for test networks:• Product Verification (FiVe)• Show cases (FEC)• Customer Demos (Future X )• Open Research ecosystem (FXR Lab.)

• Separate physical 5G RAN + CGW for remote sites(Otaniemi, Karaportti 5G indoor cases EEC, Garageetc.).

• Netleap 4G evolution towards 5G, 6G… over time• Gross BG joint use case development for end2end use

cases and experiments

• Goal: Common Outdoor 5G (4G) RAN shared by FiVe,FEC, FX LAB and FXR Lab (Campus 4G/5G use cases)

• Gross BG team to manage and develop test networkcommon functions and user support

Note: Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications allocates Radio Frequencies (indoor/outdoor) for test use giving excellent possible to

build test networks in Finland

WP6 Nokia contribution

▪ Make/document transport plan so that Nokia centralized part of test network will be connected to remotesites (M5)

▪ Update LTE based NetLeap (EPC) to Cloud (Datacenter in Karaportti 8) (Ready)

▪ Update Registers to support 5G NSA profiles (Registers in DC Tampere) (Ready)

▪ Update old routers and switches in Karaportti campus (old ones are not capable to handle all neededconnections) (M5)

▪ Update EPC to support 5G Non Standalone architecture option 3x (Ready)

▪ Update Karaportti eNB´s to support 5G IW functionality (M5)

▪ Make a solid plan for SIM management (M6)

▪ Create Nokia internal information sharing portal about the test network (documentation, contact information,network status etc.). Public information of that will be loaded to 5GTNF/5GFORCE information portal. (M6)

▪ Install gNBs to Karaportti (Discussion needed with Nokia Field Verification people) (M6)

WP6 Nokia contribution

▪ Update NB-IoT functionality to Karaportti eNB´s (M8)

▪ Update IoT device management (“IMPACT”) (M8)

▪ Install DCAP to collect element data (M9)

▪ Update ML/AI platform to system (Nokia AVA Cognitive Service Platform) (M9)

▪ Make possible to install remote Packet WG to remote sites to support local brake out (URLLC connections)(M10)

▪ Make possible to install Multi Access Edge Computing (MEC) to remote sites (M10)

▪ Update registers to support Standalone 5G subscriber profiles (M10)

▪ Install 5G capable new Standalone Core (Note: NSA will stay parallel with this SA model) (M10)

▪ Update or install new 5G SA capable gNB´s to Karaportti / Otaniemi (M10)

▪ Make plan to prepare Network Slicing (M10-M11)

▪ Probably to update SA architecture to support slicing (5G Core + registers) (M12)

Open questions to discussion:What are your requirement for Vaasa 5G test network?

What frequency's are you planning to use?

Test terminal expectations?

Plans to join to 5GTNF consortium?

Do you have any 4G test network already available?
