Open6G Reference Stack

For any researcher/engineer navigating the 5G open-source landscape; the fragmentation of various solutions across elements of the protocol stack and lack of transparency in interoperability testing creates a huge barrier to entry. Open6G Reference Stack aims to fill this information and knowledge gap by building and maintaining a crowd-sourced inventory of different ecosystem solutions along with a benchmark functional end to end 5G implementation providing development and test status across multiple identified metrics. Open6G Reference Stack is a US academic and Industry-focused hardware and software ecosystem to build a stable, robust, feature-rich, standards-compliant end-to-end open source 5G exemplar platform.

We anchor our efforts around OpenAirInterface Software Alliance (OSA) and its RAN, Core, and SMO implementations but also report on other listed best-of-breed ecosystem solutions. As part of its charter to coalesce the 5G Standalone mode validation effort across North America, Open6G Reference Stack facilitates central tracking of results and issues from the tests conducted over the wireless test platforms managed by the supporting partners.
