Our research utilizes an OpenAirInterface (OAI) based 5G testbed to explore and mitigate these challenges. We particularly focus on stressors such as jamming to evaluate network resilience. Our methodology involves setting up a comprehensive testbed, collecting data under various stress conditions, and implementing solutions. Initial findings demonstrate that small environmental changes and structural interferences significantly impact network performance. We observed that indoor variables and uplink communication pose substantial challenges, underscoring the need for advanced algorithms to detect and mitigate jamming attacks in dynamic scenarios. Our results highlight the importance of real-time spectrum analysis and adaptive network management in maintaining optimal performance. This study aims to contribute to the development of robust, resilient 5G networks suitable for complex industrial environments.
