This $200,000 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), supports a collaborative research project to develop new diagnostic testing methods for the Radio Access Network (RAN) subsystem of 5G and future mobile network technologies. The project aims to enhance RAN testing in three key areas: (1) improving test coverage by identifying dependencies and root causes, (2) enabling non-intrusive, end-to-end performance and security assessments on commodity 5G devices, and (3) optimizing test efficiency through repetitive operation identification and release update assessments. The new testing designs will be integrated into an open-source toolkit and evaluated using industry collaborators' lab testbeds and real-world Open RAN (O-RAN) systems. This research is expected to improve the correctness, interoperability, performance, and security of emerging RAN infrastructure, while also influencing 5G and beyond technology standardization efforts.
