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 completion- 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.
A complete list of 5G Super Blueprint projects that are in various stages of development can be found on the 5G Super Blueprint Use Cases & Submission Template wiki page. Join a 5G Super blueprint communty meeting and come collaborate with us!

| 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) | YouTube: L3AF Deployment and Integration with UPF Technical Presentation: L3AF: Integration with 5G-UPF(User Plane Function) Blog: https://docs.ngkore.com/l3af/l3af.html#l3af-integration-with-5g-upf |
| This Proof of Concept (PoC) uses AI from IBM that detects if factory floor workers are wearing the correct hard hat. This PoC is a benchmark example of melding open source 5G networking with enterprise applications. | Supporting material: 5G Super Blueprint Reference Architecture Seattle 2022 | |
| 5G Public Cloud Edge Interface | This blueprint, developed by Intel, Aarna Networks, Equinix, shows end-to-end Private 5G functionality by using Free5GC to showcase the flexibility of 5G Core deployment options. Highlights Include:

| 5G Cloud Native Network | This Proof-of-Concept, first shown at ONE Summit 2021, demonstrates the value of network slicing by showing the impact using a video delivery use case, and tackles the challenge of provisioning a network slice from the back-office through the core to the edge and radio. The project further shows the interfaces necessary for orchestrating slicing, and sets the stage for full private mobile networking. |
