Abstract

5G Non-Public-Network (NPN) is increasingly ap-plied in the vertical industry, and there are still several related functionality and deployment requirements need to be solved. In this paper, we present a testbed of our proposed blockchain-enabled NPN architecture for the functionality requirements along with an NPN construction scheme based on cloud and containerization technique to meet the deployment demand. Blockchain's openness and transparency can provide a trusted data sharing environment for different NPN stakeholders, and its smart contract can implement flexible and customized access control policies. Meanwhile, the use of containerization and cloud technology enables the rapid deployment, upgrade and migration of NPN, reducing the costs of network construction and maintenance. Some typical test cases and initial results are shown to indicate that our blockchain-based testbed can not only be a candidate solution for mobile communication researches but also for commercial and industrial purposes.

开放云平台上基于区块链的集装箱化移动通信测试平台

5G非公共网络(NPN)在垂直行业的应用越来越多，但仍有一些相关的功能和部署需求需要解决。在本文中，我们提出了一个基于区块链的NPN架构的测试平台，以满足功能需求，以及基于云和容器化技术的NPN构建方案，以满足部署需求。区块链的开放性和透明性可以为不同的NPN利益相关者提供可信的数据共享环境，其智能合约可以实现灵活定制的访问控制策略。同时，集装箱化和云技术的使用，可以实现NPN的快速部署、升级和迁移，降低网络建设和维护成本。一些典型的测试用例和初步结果表明，我们基于区块链的测试平台不仅可以作为移动通信研究的候选解决方案，而且可以用于商业和工业目的。
