Demo: Experimentation in Controlled and Operational LTE Settings with FLEX-MONROE

Published: 20 October 2017 Publication History

Abstract

This demo paper presents FLEX-MONROE, a platform that facilitates better understanding of the status of current Mobile Broadband (MBB) networks (e.g. 3G and 4G/LTE) and enables performance improvements by allowing experimentation with controllable LTE parameters. The platform enables the investigation of the impact of low-level tweaks in network parameters in the LTE infrastructure on the application performance. We argue that FLEX-MONROE is crucial to provide guidelines on how to improve the application performance both in the current and future MBB networks.
