Description
Summary:This research employs NYCU-developed open source 5G core network \boldsymbol{free5GC} and Intel open source edge computing platform OpenNESS to build a 5G private network. An online multi-person chorus application is then deployed on the edge platform to (1) achieve High Reliability and Low Latency Communication (URLLC) requirements, and (2) improve the backhaul bandwidth occupancy rate from the edge to the core network. In addition, this research implements the traffic influence function proposed in the 3GPP 5G standards, which can dynamically change traffic rules of the 5G core during execution, directing specific traffic to the edge applications in order to improve the performance of private networks. Finally, to verify the effectiveness of this schema, this research uses the example application deployed to compare the performance of the system equipped with edge computing with that without edge platform. Our analysis is done with both a physical RAN and the UERANSIM simulator.
