abstract = {Mobile robots are an essential part of the vision of flexible production in a smart factory. To monitor and connect the robots, reliable and low latency communication is necessary. In this work, we conduct packet-based active measurements to evaluate the performance of a state-of-the-art 5G standalone system in a production environment. The focus is on whether 5G connections can meet the requirements specified by 3GPP in terms of delay and reliability. The results indicate that without cross-traffic, the requirement of a delay of less than 10 ms for 99.9 % of the packets can be met for the remote control and fleet management of mobile robots. However, as soon as cross-traffic is injected, especially in the uplink, the upper percentiles of the delay increase significantly, thus failing to hold the reliability requirements.},

abstract = {5G campus networks, whose advantages include 

flexible deployment, can be a promising candidate for production 

plants to complement existing Wifi-based networks. Toward 

that goal, 5G has to satisfy strict requirements about real-time 

communication to facility novel use cases. However, the realtime- 

capability of 5G is not well understood yet. In this work, we 

deliver insights into the functioning of 5G NR RAN Release 

15, which includes actual one-way delay and Round-Trip Time 

(RTT) measurements for Downlink and Uplink in a private 5G 

Standalone campus network. The extensive measurement results 

reveal that these delays are correlated, and the corresponding 

RTT, i.e. the sum of Downlink and Uplink delays, is discreetly 

clustered, ranging between 12ms and 40ms. The measurements 

also show that the distribution of RTTs is mainly dependent on 

the packet rates and their inter-arrival times. Our study helps 

expand the current understanding of 5G used for latency-critical 

applications. We make the code and the measurement data traces 

publicly available as the IEEE DataPort 5G Campus Networks: 

Measurement Traces dataset (DOI 10.21227/xe3c-e968).},
