Goal
The existing experimental facilities cover complementary technologies from terminals, sensors and machines to radio access networks, aggregation/core networks, and cloud/fog computing. The existing experimental facilities involved are:
1) the ADRENALINE Testbed® for wired fronthaul/backhaul (SDN-enabled packet aggregation and optical core network, distributed cloud and NFV services in core and metro data-centers)
2) the EXTREME Testbed® and LENA LTE-EPC protocol stack emulator for wireless fronthaul/backhaul and mobile core (SDN-enabled wireless HetNet and backhaul, edge datacenter and distributed computing nodes for cloud and NFV services)
3) LTE/5G PHY prototyping based on FPGA (GEDOMIS® testbed) and software-defined radio (GEDOMIS® testbed and CASTLE simulator for rapid prototyping and highly reconfirguration), and Satellite (CASTLE simulator), iv) LTE/5G analog front-end μwave & mmwave (antenna, power amplifier, filter, mixer, …) including digital predistortion (SHAPER testbed), and finally; v) the IoTWorld Testbed (sensors, actuators and wireless/wired gateways) combined with energy harvesting devices.
