| | 5 | Three nodes... |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | ==== Objective ==== |
| | 8 | Primary objective is to establish the LTE connection between the SDR based UE and eNB. In order to that we need to prepare configuration files on two nodes: node9-1 and node6-20. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | ------------------------------ |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | The code was compiled with USRP support i.e. with: |
| | 13 | {{{ |
| | 14 | cd trunk/targets/bin; build_oai.bash -l ENB -c -w USRP |
| | 15 | }}} |
| | 16 | More details on various build options are available on [https://twiki.eurecom.fr/twiki/bin/view/OpenAirInterface/AutoBuild OpenAirInterface build page]. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | In this tutorial we will use nodes with USRP b310 and have the basestation on node9-1 and modem on node6-20. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | ==== Prepare the nodes ==== |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | 1. Load the image with the !OpenAirInterface code on the nodes that have USRP B210 attached. After imaging the nodes are '''turned off automatically'''. [[CollapsibleStart(omf load -t inventory:topo:B210 -i oai-master.ndz)]] [[Include(Documentation/Short/LoadImage)]][[CollapsibleEnd]] |
| | 23 | 1. Turn ON the nodes that successfully imaged (give them some time and check their status with '''omf stat''' before proceeding). [[CollapsibleStart(omf tell -a on -t system:topo:imaged)]][[Include(Documentation/Short/TellOn)]][[CollapsibleEnd]] |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | ==== Execute the experiment ==== |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | 1. '''ssh into nodes:''' Open the two ssh sessions from the console to the two nodes |
| | 28 | || [[Image(node9-1.png, width=200)]] || [[Image(node6-20.png, width=200)]] || |
| | 29 | 2. '''Prepare configuration files:''' Make sure to have correct parameters in oai.conf file in roots home directory on the node (/root) as follows: |
| | 30 | i. Operating frequency band parameters: |
| | 31 | a. E-UTRA band |
| | 32 | b. Corresponding duplex mode (e.g. FDD/TDD), |
| | 33 | c. Downlink frequency [Hz], uplink frequency offset [Hz] (which is given in reference to the downlink frequency). |
| | 34 | d. LTE bandwidth: N_RB_DL = {6,15,25,50,75,100} corresponding to bandwidth = {1.4,3,5,10,15,20} MHz |
| | 35 | For example: |
| | 36 | {{{ |
| | 37 | ////////// Physical parameters: |
| | 38 | component_carriers = ( |
| | 39 | { |
| | 40 | frame_type = "FDD"; |
| | 41 | eutra_band = 7; |
| | 42 | downlink_frequency = 2660000000L; |
| | 43 | uplink_frequency_offset = -120000000; |
| | 44 | N_RB_DL = 25; #N_RB_DL choice: 6,15,25,50,75,100 |
| | 45 | } |
| | 46 | ); |
| | 47 | }}} |
| | 48 | In this example, LTE operates in E-UTRA band 7 which allows the FDD mode. LTE operates at 5 MHz bandwidth around downlink and uplink center frequencies which are at 2660 MHz and 2540 MHz, respectively. |
| | 49 | |
| | 50 | Parameters in oai.conf can be varied as long as they are within predefined set of values which can be found in file ~/rel_0.1_26.10.2014/openair2/ENB_APP/enb_config.c or ~/trunk/openair2/ENB_APP/enb_config.c |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | ii. Make sure to have correct IP address configuration for parameters "ENB_IPV4_ADDRESS_FOR_S1_MME" and "ENB_IPV4_ADDRESS_FOR_S1U" to match node numbers. For example, for nodeX-Y, these IP address parameters become as "10.10.X.Y/16". So for our basestation node the relevant sections in the oai.conf file in /root directory on the nodes we should look like (we don't want MME support and have to adjust the ip addresses to match what we have on the control interface of the node): |
| | 53 | {{{ |
| | 54 | ////////// MME parameters: |
| | 55 | mme_ip_address = ( { ipv4 = "10.10.0.100"; |
| | 56 | ipv6 = "10:10:0::100"; |
| | 57 | active = "no"; |
| | 58 | preference = "ipv4"; |
| | 59 | } |
| | 60 | ); |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | NETWORK_INTERFACES : |
| | 63 | { |
| | 64 | ENB_INTERFACE_NAME_FOR_S1_MME = "eth1"; |
| | 65 | ENB_IPV4_ADDRESS_FOR_S1_MME = "10.10.9.1/24"; |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | ENB_INTERFACE_NAME_FOR_S1U = "eth1"; |
| | 68 | ENB_IPV4_ADDRESS_FOR_S1U = "10.10.9.1/24"; |
| | 69 | ENB_PORT_FOR_S1U = 2152; # Spec 2152 |
| | 70 | }; |
| | 71 | }}} |
| | 72 | 3. '''Run the lte-softmodem:''' Depending on whether you want to run it with or without mme, execute lte-softmodem on corresponding nodes: |
| | 73 | |
| | 74 | || || On the eNB node (node9-1) || On the UE node (node6-20) || |
| | 75 | || w/o MME || {{{ lte-softmodem-nomme -Ooai.conf -V}}} || {{{ lte-softmodem -U -Ooai.conf -C 2660000000 -V}}} || |
| | 76 | || w MME || {{{ lte-softmodem -Ooai.conf -V}}} || {{{ lte-softmodem -U -Ooai.conf -C 2660000000 -V}}} || |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | If the above commands are executed with the "-d" flag and if X11 forwarding is enabled for the current ssh session, the signal tracer will pop out as shown in Figure 1 (not that this requires relatively high bandwidth). |

| | 168 | ==== The command line parameters of lte-softmodem ==== |
| | 169 | Relevant (i.e. for USRP command line parameters for the lte-softmodem command are: |
| | 170 | * -O file: eNB configuration file (this is the preferred way to pass basic parameters and there are several examples in $OPENAIR_TARGETS/PROJECTS/GENERIC-LTE_EPC/CONF/ |
| | 171 | * -g LEVEL: set the level of debug for the log generation (-g7 is quite high and useful to trace bugs in the procedures/protocols, -g9 even dumps packets at all levels of the protocol stack) |
| | 172 | * -d: enables xforms signal tracer |
| | 173 | * -U: start as UE (default: eNB) |
| | 174 | * -C freq: set carrier frequency to f0 for all chains (extension to independent frequencies trivial) |
| | 175 | * -V: enables the VCD debugging tool (this is a temporal event tracer, which is useful for real-time debugging using GTKWave) |
| | 176 | * -K file: ITTI logfile. ITTI is an intertask tracing utility which helps debugging with an EPC. It can traces all exchanges between RRC<->S1AP, RRC<->PDCP, PDCP<->S1 |
| | 177 | * -S: do not exit for the missing slots, instead increment the counter. |
| | 178 | * --debug-ue-prach: only send prach but do not connect |
| | 179 | * --no-L2-connect: only runs rx, does not send prach |
| | 180 | |
