i-CORA - a Large-Scale Experimentation Platform for End-to-End 5G Services
The development of 5G and Beyond 5G (B5G) technologies relies on the availability of experimentation facilities that can evaluate and validate the performance of these technologies. It is of great interest and challenge to design, deploy and operate large-scale experimentation platforms to meet the high requirements of various vertical use cases for the 5G services.
This paper describes an i-CORA platform that we built with Telenor Research and Innovation, Telenor, Norway; and EMEA at RedHat, Germany; to support several EU-funded projects (5GMediaHUB, IMAGINE-B5G, FIDAL and COMMECT) and vertical use cases.
