Sandbox Architecture

The sandbox architecture of a 5G Core network deployed with free5GC includes several important components: the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) for managing network access and user mobility, the Session Management Function (SMF) for handling user sessions and quality of service (QoS), the User Plane Function (UPF) for forwarding user data packets, and the Authentication Server Function (AUSF) for user authentication and authorization. Additionally, the Unified Data Management (UDM) manages subscriber data, while the Policy Control Function (PCF) enforces policy rules and manages resource allocation.

‍

Why this Sandbox ?

Explore the capabilities of 5G technology in a controlled environment designed for developers, researchers, and industry professionals. Prototype applications, test critical processes like UE registration and deregistration, paging, service requests, and policy configurations. Analyze performance metrics to gain actionable insights for real-world 5G deployments.

Sandbox Use Cases

  • Gain Access to a fully deployed 5G core to simulate a diffrent real-world telecom scenarios.
  • Configure and troubleshoot 5G NFs, exploring different configurations and parameter settings for flexibility.
  • Test and analyze 5G call flows for various use cases, including registration, session management, to ensure end-to-end functionality.
  • Perform NR (New Radio) throughput measurements, adjusting parameters like carrier aggregation and bandwidth.
  • Analyze the synergy between numerology and bandwidth in 5G NR by experimenting with different numerology configurations.
  • Visualize MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) and beamforming to understand their impact on 5G coverage and performance.
  • Monitor core network traffic using Prometheus and visualize real-time metrics with Grafana dashboards.
  • Set up alerts in Prometheus for tracking 5G Core health and troubleshooting issues with NF performance.
  • Test various scenarios to evaluate how different configurations affect 5G network throughput, latency, and efficiency.
