Prototyping 5G Network in Laboratory Testbed with Virtual Deployment Environment

This paper describes different ways of deploying a 5G network testbed for research porpouses. The proposed method allows us to introduce various research developments into the ecosystem of the network infrastructure. Using the laboratory infrastructure we propose a technique for investigating moving mobile devices using artificial signal distortion. This technique reduces the time and cost of test planning. At the same time, it simulates conditions close to real situations. © 2020 IEEE.
