Abstract

The 5G wireless standard has emerged as a trans-formative technology with the potential to revolutionize various industries by providing enhanced connectivity and communication capabilities. This advanced standard offers a diverse range of applications, including Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC), Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), and Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC). In this Scientific research paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of the performance and capabilities of a deployed indoor 5G network in a controlled laboratory environment. The experimental setup comprises an Amarisoft Callbox, serving as the 5G core, along with a Remote Radio Head (RRH) and user equipment (UEs). Our primary objective is to assess the network's performance by evaluating the downlink, uplink, and joint downlink/uplink transmissions for TCP and UDP protocols between the gNodeB and user equipment (UE). To achieve this, we carefully examine key performance metrics such as latency, power consumption, CPU utilization, and signal quality. Through various configurations that involve MIMO 2 technology and a 30 kHz sub-carrier spacing, we investigate the impact of different NR Bandwidth settings. By establishing TCP and UDP connections for both uplink and downlink scenarios, we meticulously measure and scrutinize the system's performance, thereby providing valuable insights into its efficiency and suitability for diverse application requirements.
