1 Part of FIRE+ Objective Co-funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Program of the European Union TRIANGLE 5G & IoT UK testbeds and trials Niall Roche UCL

2 Project Overview TRIANGLE is a Testbed for end-to-end testing, which prepares the ground for 5G certification. In the project we create a pilot platform for pre-standards prenormative certification of 5G devices and 5G applications. During the project we will run a number of experiments at the device and app Budget ~3M, EU H2020 funded Duration 3 years, starting 1st of January 2016 until Dec Website - <Event Date> TRIANGLE - <Presenter Name> 2

4 Motivation Promote the testing and benchmarking of mobile applications and devices in Europe as the industry moves towards 5G provide a pathway towards certification in order to support qualified mobile developments in Europe define new KPIs and QoE metrics and design a complete evaluation scheme certify both applications and devices lower barriers for SMEs to get certification Propose integration into existing mobile certification schemes such as GCF <Event Date> TRIANGLE - <Presenter Name> 4

7 Why Certify SMEs can take advantage of the trust and confidence provided by completing the testing process within TRIANGLE reduced cost of testing and certification differentiate and enrich their solutions in competitive markets realistic app and device testing enabling set of SME to have more robust apps and devices on the market. (Important for IoT) Certification may be required for Safety of Life and Enterprise QoE important for medicine and other critical communications More energy efficient apps can be a good marketing tool in a competitive app landscape Combines both Lab Testing and real world testing getting real feedback from users on how they perceive the app correlation between the QoS metrics and the perceived QoE for users <Event Date> TRIANGLE - <Presenter Name> 7

17 positioning lly provided with a wearable device (we typically employ bracelets such as the. 2 below, but other form factors can also be employed) which emits wireless con messages). Such signals are captured by a plurality of antennas and r to estimate the position of the user within the indoor space. Bracelets (or other with a tri-axial accelerometer; acceleration data is transmitted with the beacon to detect situations such as fall or night waking up. verall (high-level) system architecture is reported in the Figure below. The system is composed of three tiers. The IoT tier includes all the (wearable) sensors required and the necessary in-home infrastructure (antennas, anchor nodes etc.) to collect the signals from IoT devices and transmit them to a gateway node where such data is aggregated and pre-processed. The 5G tier ensures connectivity between the gateway node and the public Internet. The cloud tier includes all the cloud infrastructure (systems and methods) required to process IoT data and take the necessary actions (typically triggering notifications to a care worker in case a potential risk situation is detected). Figure 2. Wearable IoT sensor (positioning and fall detection) loy two different indoor positioning technologies. A high-precision one, provided 1 partner Quuppa. It uses direction-of-arrival to estimate with high accuracy (we in operational environments) the position of the tracked entity. Antennas are and powered over Ethernet (requiring hence infrastructuring the target ennas need to be connected via a PoE switch. A minipc is also connected to the minipc runs Quuppa Positioning Engine software (which aggregates data from de a stable estimate of the user position) and acts as a gateway to the Internet. oy a MacMini (flashed with a Ubuntu distro) as minipc.

18 Timeline May 2017 Proposal sensor data monitoring patients is transmitted to a gateway Key Testbed features needed? Benchmarked Against? Identified Issues Backend- setup a local instance and connect it directly in the testbed IoT gateway can be hosted on a raspberry pi or on a minipc (MacMini +Ubuntu) Emulation of positioning vital signs: Option #1 (preferred ): we bring the actual devices to Malaga and test the system 'live'. Pros: more precise and realistic measurements. Cons: integration may require more time/effort. Option #2: we do measurements and log packets on a live instance here in Italy and then on the testbed we play back the packet trace and do measurement on it. <Event Date> TRIANGLE - <Presenter Name> 18

19 - KPIs Scenario: Urban Pedestrian, Urban office (nursing home) end-to-end latency End-to-end latency should be of the order of 50ms user experienced data rate and reliability. User experienced data rate should be at least 1Mbps in downlink and 2Mbps in uplink even at the cell edge and in the presence of high traffic. Packet losses should be zero. No specific KPIs in terms of mobility or energy consumption (device autonomy) are deemed relevant for this specific use case. <Event Date> TRIANGLE - <Presenter Name> 19
