Comprehensive Experimental Evaluation of SDR-Based C-RAN 5G-SA Networks: Coverage, Throughput, and Hardware Impact
Fifth-generation (5G) networks enable ultra-reliable low-latency communications, high throughput, and massive access, motivating deployments based on software-defined radio (SDR) and open-source stacks. This study implements and evaluates a 5G standalone (5G-SA) network using srsRAN and Open5GS, integrating universal s...
