# A Modular Experimentation Methodology for 5G Deployments: The 5 GENESIS Approach
## 5 Experimental Setup
### ED Definition
For URLLC applications, such as mission critical communications or edge computing scenarios, proactive scheduling can be a key parameter. In future work, we will investigate testing requirements of 5G verticals such as industrial use case. We will focus on identifying specific KPIs and formalize their measurement and calculation procedures, while providing the means for executing the corresponding experiments. Moreover, we are also upgrading the 5G infrastructure to support 5G NR SA. The methodology will then be applied to check the relative performance with respect to NSA.
