Our colleagues from LINKS presented 5G-IANA in the 5G4CAM WG on February 12th, in an online event.

The presentation started with a general presentation of the project, its partners and role of each of them, and continued with an explanation about moving towards advanced 5G networking in 5G-IANA. Towards the end of the presentation, LINKS focused on Facilitating automotive network application development and experimentation with 5G-IANA.

Nokia celebrated an Open Day on November 13th 2023, in which 5G-IANA was presented among other projects. Many of the Nokia Ulm employees attended the event, which was was attended by 600 people!

Here you can see the posters that were presented:

The IEEE Future Networks World Forum took place in Baltimore between the 13th and the 15th, and 5G-IANA was there!

Peter Schmitting, from FSCOM, presented the paper: ‘The 5G-IANA Automotive Open Experimentation Platform: Features and Assets at the Disposal of Third Parties’.

Our colleagues from ICCS presented 5G-.IANA in the 5G for connected and automated mobility  section. Konstantinos V. Katsaros talked about ‘End-to-end CAM service support across the 5G compute continuum’ in Aveiro.

In this years IEEE World Forum on IoT, an ICT-41 PlugFest was organised, which aimed to gather developers from all ICT-41 projects in a single location where hands-on integration could take place. 5GASP and 5G-EPICENTRE provided access to their local testbeds, and other testbeds gave remote access.

Our colleagues from LINKS Foundation presented ‘5G-IANA’s Strategies for Network Application Onboarding & Deployment’, as well as a Demonstration fo the 5G-IANA ITS communication nApp on the 5GASP Platform.

See the complete agenda here: 10-13-2023 WFIoT2023 – Schedule and Program for the ICT-41 Plugfest V3.

The demo’s objective is to use a VITAL-5G network application inside the 5G-IANA environment and use it in combination with the nApps that are already in the 5G-IANA environment. 

Since in the VITAL 5G testbed there is a whole VM with all the services that are used in that project, we have taken only the desired services from that VM, we have containerized them and then we have uploaded those services on the 5G-IANA testbed, using the 5G-IANA platform.

EVOLVED-5G Accelerator, which is a 5-month acceleration programme organised by the EVOLVED-5G project, organised a Virtual Demo Day, which was streamed live on their YouTube channel.

5G-IANA was presented in the Demo Day by Eirini Liotou, within ‘The Future of Business’ slot.

Our colleagues from University of Ulm presented a paper in the IEEE LANMAN. The paper was presented in the context of the Network Architecture session, and it was titled ‘LETHE: Combined Time-to-Live Caching and Load Balancing on the Network Data Plane’.

The paper is accessible through 5G-IANA’s Zenodo community.

Abstract: The paper describes a stateful in-network load balancer for cache objects. In general, a tradeoff arises in in-network caching due to the dynamicity of the requests and the popularity of the objects. The paper describes a time-to-live in-network caching system that is well equipped to accelerate federated learning through in-network model aggregation and caching.
