“…Although it was beneficial to choose Simu5G for the integrated framework to handle 5G network elements, mainly because of the detailed MEC realization, it does not implement the PC5 interface. The evaluation of existing libraries and frameworks for modeling C-V2X communications is necessary to assess how direct links between the vehicles and/or infrastructure nodes could be handled using 5G [36]. One of the possible options is migrating the device-to-device features of SimuLTE [37] while updating the features and channel modes according to NR-V2X enhancements compared to C-V2X [38].…”

Day 2 V2X applications are the next step in vehicular communications, as they aim to extend the scope of shared information. In addition to status data, traffic participants are also aware of each other's sensory capabilities and the data deriving from those sensors. Collective Perception (CP), one of the flagship Day 2 services, enables vehicles and infrastructural elements, like roadside units or smart intersection controllers, to provide information about detected objects, significantly increasing the level of cooperative awareness V2X can grant for the communicating entities. However, with the escalation in the amount of data to be sent over the vehicular or mobile networks and the need for more processing power to enable real-time safety applications based on CP, some form of infrastructural aid is needed. The traditional central cloud-based approach might fall short of meeting the latency requirements. To keep latency within an acceptable range and solve the computational tasks locally, leveraging the capabilities of 5G Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) could be a potential solution, thus ensuring a minimum impact on the core network. The architectural design and the modular approach of service implementation in the MEC specification by ETSI enable quick service deployment. This paper focuses on advanced Collective Perception-based V2X applications and the potential positive impact on their performance when operating with the support of edge computing. We also present the descriptionincluding the design considerationsof an initial, Artery/Simu5G-based edge service model working as a network-side intelligence extending the functionality of applications hosted on the vehicles.

“…Therefore, network designers must consider all the design aspects when evaluating the functionalities of the new network architectures. Sometimes it is possible to model these functionalities using software-based tools, such as simulators (e.g., OMNeT++ [10], NS-3 [11] or SST [12]) or analytical models [13][14] [15], but depending on their abstraction level, the designers may miss certain implications of the proposed designs when moved to real hardware. Therefore, the network simulation-based and/or analytical modeling is usually complemented with hardware-based prototyping (e.g., NetFPGA [16] or Corundum [17]), so that the network designers widen their perspective when analyzing the new functionalities proposed for the network architecture.…”

The interconnection network is a subsystem evermore important in current Datacenters and supercomputers where data- and computing-hungry applications, used in high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), or Cloud fields, demand a growing number of communication operations among the server hosts. These demands require that the network subsystem guarantees high communication bandwidth and low latency, otherwise becoming the bottleneck of the entire system. There are numerous interconnection network technologies that are evolving their architectures to accomplish these demands, such as InfiniBand or Ethernet-based networks. In particular, Ethernet-based interconnection networks have improved in the last few years their performance, in terms of latency and throughput, so they have become a competitive and popular choice for Datacenters and Supercomputers.Indeed, there are several open hardware projects, such as Corundum and NetFPGA, which provide interconnection network models that can be implemented in commodity FPGAs. Thanks to these projects the community is contributing to developing novel and efficient network functionalities. In this paper, we describe the process of building an FPGA-based prototype for an Ethernet-based interconnection network.Specifically, we use development boards from the NetFPGA platform, composed of a Xilinx Virtex-7 690T FPGA, internal flash memory, 10GbE transceivers, etc.In these FPGAs, we have implemented open-source designs (NICs and switches) from NetFPGA and Corundum projects. The cabling of the prototype is flexible so it allows measuring the performance of NIC-to-NIC and NIC-to-switch communication. We have also evaluated several transport protocols (i.e., TCP and UDP) using commonly used benchmarks and tools, and analyzed the different configurations of the software stack to reduce the packet dropping in the communication.
