In this paper, we study the characteristic scale of transition to cosmic homogeneity of the universe, $\mathcal{R}_H$, as a standard ruler, to constrain cosmological parameters on mock galaxy catalogues.

Defining the scale of transition to homogeneity as the scale at which $\mathcal{D}_2(r)$ reaches 3 within $1\%$, i. e. $\mathcal{D}_2(r)>2. 97$ for $r>\mathcal{R}_H$, we find $\mathcal{R}_H = (63. 3\pm0. 7) \ h^{-1}\ \mathrm{Mpc}$, in agreement at the percentage level with the predictions of the $\Lambda$CDM model $\mathcal{R}_H=62. 0\ h^{-1}\ \mathrm{Mpc}$.

We use the normalised counts-in-spheres estimator $\mathcal{N}(<r)$ and the fractal correlation dimension $\mathcal{D}_{2}(r)$ to assess the homogeneity scale of the universe.

For the matter distribution we obtain $3-\langle D_2 \rangle < 5 \times 10^{-5}$ (2 $\sigma$) over the range $250<r<1200 \, h^{-1}$Mpc, consistent with homogeneity on large scales.
