Measure-X is a platform that allows experimenters to measure the main network metrics of a 5G network. Besides classical metrics such as throughput and latency, Measure-X also makes possible the collection of other, less-considered, metrics: the energy spent during communication by client devices and the Age of Information. The former can be used to understand if different communication schemes have different necessities in terms of energy budget, and the latter quantifies how fresh the information collected about an observed system is (e.g., an application controlling some machinery, or the last position of a vehicle). Measurements are carried out by coordinating the activity of probes - single board computers equipped with 5G modules. Measure-X code is open source.

Abstract
Measure-X is a platform that allows experimenters to measure the main network metrics of a 5G network. Besides classical metrics such as throughput and latency, Measure-X also makes possible the collection of other, less-considered, metrics: the energy spent during communication by client devices and the Age of Information. The former can be used to understand if different communication schemes have different necessities in terms of energy budget, and the latter quantifies how fresh the information collected about an observed system is (e.g., an application controlling some machinery, or the last position of a vehicle). Measurements are carried out by coordinating the activity of probes - single board computers equipped with 5G modules. Measure-X code is open source.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
