Abstract
Despite extensive research on Quality-of-Services (QoS) analysis of 5G networks, practical applications remain limited. This gap may be attributed to the lack of available tools and the complexity of developing or configuring technical systems to implement theoretical approaches. To address this, we developed an edge control system within a private 5G base station, utilizing Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to enable accurate Age of Information (AoI) measurements. Through analysis using AoI and Age of Actuation (AoA) metrics, we demonstrate the accomplishment of comparable results in an emulated Local Area Network (LAN), which offers greater accessibility and reduced complexity.
We also test the reliability of network emulation... (More)
