Abstract

To facilitate the adoption of 5G in industrial networks, 3GPP introduced a new 5G feature called 5G LAN-type service in Release 16. The 5G LAN-type service aims to support similar functionalities of Local Area Networks, but on top of the 5G network. As a result, 5G LAN-type service would be expected to offer UE-to-UE communication with ultra-low latency, which is attractive for localised industrial control settings. The requirements of this new service have been specified but its design and implementation are still being studied. In this demo paper, we present a workable design to implement the 5G LAN-type service and demonstrate its benefit in terms of end-to-end (E2E) latency. Our evaluation shows that E2E latency in a 5G LAN-type service is smaller than those in Multi-access Edge Computing scenarios. The testbed provides a platform for exploring challenging aspects of 5G LAN-service design and implementation.
