Welcome to the 5G Super Blueprint Library! The 5G Super Blueprint Library is the central reference point for completed 5G Super Blueprint projects. Similar to a public or school library; content of the 5G Super Blueprint library vary in topic/technology, project scope, and, type and breathe of collateral. 5G Super Blueprint projects range from complete end-to-end solutions to technology building blocks that can be consumed, evolved, and expanded upon.
Use the Library Index below to browse completed projects. Each entry also contains contact information for a project lead. You may contact the project lead with any questions, or request additional information if available.
A short decription of how 5G Super Blueprint projects evolve from concept to completed projects-
5G Super Blueprint projects start as a concept or idea that begins its life as a 5G Super Blueprint use case submission using this link: 5G Super Blueprint Use Cases & Submission Template. The initial use case submission can be as little as a title and short description, or can include more detail depending in how far along in development the concept is. From there the project is discussed and developed with the 5G Super Blueprint community on 5G Super blueprint communty meetings. The use case submission wiki page serves as the "workplan" for the project and evolves as the project evolves. It is the single point of reference for the project.
Some concepts gain traction within the community and grow, while others do not. A key ingredient for a project to gain traction and grow is to have a project champion who is dedicated to seeing the project to completion.
As projects are completed they are added to the 5G Super Blueprint Library Index below for easy reference and consumption.

Simplified Network Slicing | Led by Aarna Networks, this project is demonstrates end-to-end network slicing of the core network and RAN using open source components. It realizes network deployment with cloud native network functions (CNFs) using EMCO, the End-to-End network slice creation wherein the Core Network (CN) is open source Free5GC (v3.2.1), and the RAN is open source UERANSIM (v3.2.6) as an integrated gNB. |
L3AF Integration with 5G-UPF (User Plane Function) | L3AF introduces a comprehensive UPF architecture with support for hooks through AF_XDP. This allows developers to integrate custom multiple eBPF programs to enhance packet processing capabilities, offering greater control and flexibility in handling network traffic. The L3AF approach brings several advantages; it enables developers to create multiple eBPF programs to enhance UPF functionality, resulting in efficient packet processing and improved network performance. Additionally, L3AF provides horizontal and vertical scaling options, allowing the deployment of multiple UPFs with multiple eBPF programs. This Proof of Concept, lead by NgKore, demonstrates the Integration of L3AF with 5G-UPF (User Plane Function) |

| 5G Public Cloud Edge Interface | This important initiative, led by Equinix, addresses Operator challenges of developing methods to place Edge Infrastructure in enough proper places to enable scaling of Edge operations from day 0 to day 3 (full production). This Use Case focuses on Edge Site Selection and Placement of 5G stand alone elements and architecture, with a focus on critical design and operational considerations. |
