Abstract
This paper presents a lab demonstration of Beyond 5G network slicing using the open-source OpenAirInterface (OAI) stack and the OAIBOX platform, as part of the Aveiro Tech City Living Lab (ATCLL) in the scope of the 6G-PATH European project. A network slicing xApp is implemented and evaluated using commercial user equipment. Additionally, a monitoring xApp was integrated with the ATCLL data platform collecting real-time telemetry through FlexRIC. The collected data is available in real-time or historically in the 6G-PATH portal, providing it to all partners. Experimental results demonstrate effective slice isolation, with the URLLC slice (for autonomous vehicle applications) maintaining ultra-low latency even under eMBB congestion, highlighting the potential of network slicing for strict differentiated services requirements in 5G Advanced networks.
