Real-world fault analysis in 5G and emerging 6G networks demands domain expertise to analyze free-text diagnostics, including root-cause explanations and recommended actions. LLMs have emerged as a promising approach to automating this, yet whether lightweight, edge-deployable models are capable of performing in-depth free-text diagnostics remains an open question. While existing benchmarks rely on restrictive MCQs with fixed answer keys, this paper evaluates 5G domain understanding and fault analysis in a free-text generation format. Transitioning to this paradigm requires evaluating lightweight, edge-deployable AI models on open-ended diagnostic reasoning, alongside a dependable framework to validate these text outputs at scale. To address this we evaluate three lightweight LLMs, Claude-Haiku-4.5, GPT-5.4-Mini, and Gemini-3.1-Flash-Lite, on free-text 5G domain knowledge and fault-analysis tasks across three benchmarks, TeleQNA ORAN FT, 5G-Faults FT, and TeleInter FT. Three independent frontier judges score outputs, and pairwise inter-judge agreement is measured as an empirical test of the LLM-as-Judge methodology. All three models reach at least 90% accuracy on fault diagnosis, while zero-shot recall of 3GPP and O-RAN specifications remains the critical gap, with all models scoring below 60%. Mean inter-judge agreement is at least 0.90 across all runs, indicating that multi-judge LLM scoring produces consistent, reproducible grades for open-ended telecom responses. Operationally, Gemini-3.1-Flash-Lite offers the best efficiency trade-off, combining competitive accuracy with the lowest inference cost and latency, making it the most suitable candidate for production telecom deployments.
These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
