An Open-Source Techno-Economic Assessment Framework for 5G Deployment

Abstract: Optimal network planning is crucial to ensure viable investments. However, engineering analysis and cost assessment frequently occur independently of each other. Whereas considerable research has been undertaken on 5G networks, there is a lack of openly accessible tools that integrate the engineering and cost aspects, in a techno-economic assessment framework capable of providing geospatially-explicit network analytics. Consequently, this paper details an open-source python simulator for integrated modelling o… Show more

“…Finally, developing more advanced analytical techniques from crowdsourced mobile data could contribute to other types of studies, such as network planning and simulation (see e.g. [38] and [7]), to ensure a better reflection of real-world networks. This would include geolocating eNBs to compute eNB density with higher accuracy, estimating cell and eNB ranges, and providing evidence on the use of spectrum bands throughout the day (i.e.…”

“…Assuming the MEC edge infrastructure is formed with a server group of 100 TB storage, that can be catered with 3 Dell PowerEdge XR2 Rugged servers which cost around (3,500 x 3) USD [25]. According to [26], launching the MEC IBS that include sector antennas, remote radio units, baseband units, site construction, and power/ battery installments require an approximated total sum of 61,500 USDs. In addition, a backhaul link should be established from the IBS to the nearest intermediary node towards the core network.…”

“…Thus, capex for launching a IBS within the smart hospital would cost 91,000 USDs (IBS deployment capex = MEC Server cost + Installation cost + Backhaul link cost) in approximation. Though, operational expenditure (opex) for this deployment would be 5,050 USD (Site opex + backhaul opex) per annum [26]. In contrast, initial investment for the cloud service is minimum and depends on the subscription charges.…”

“…This is carried out using a stochastic geometry approach via the open-source python simulator for integrated modeling of 5G, pysim5G (Oughton, 2019;Oughton, Katsaros, Entezami, Kaleshi, & Crowcroft, 2019). First, pysim5G estimates the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) in different urban and rural environments using industrystandard statistical propagation models.…”
