Title: From Theory to 5G Testbeds: Bridging Wireless Research and Practice
Abstract: We present a concrete example of how theoretical ideas in wireless communication can be translated into a real 5G system. Starting from a pen-and-paper model, we progressively build toward a working implementation on a 5G testbed, using modern tools such as Sionna, Sionna-RK, and OpenAirInteface.
