This simulator allows to test L2 and above Layers using the nFAPI interface.
|
|
|
|
The UE executable is able to "simulate" multiple UEs in order to stimulate the scheduler in the eNB.
|
|
|
|
**This simulator is available starting the `v1.0.0` release on the `master` branch.**
|
|
|
|
**2022/03/08: CAUTION, THIS TUTORIAL IS NO LONGER VALID on the `develop` branch after the `2022.w01` tag.**
|
|
|
|
**2022/03/08: CAUTION, THE LAST VALID TAG on `develop` branch is `2021.w51_c`.**
|
|
|
|
Currently the Continuous Integration process is validating this simulator the following way:
|
|
|
|
* the LTE modem executable is run on one host (in our CI deployment it is a **Xenial Virtual Machine**)
|
|
* the UE(s) modem executable is run on another host (in our CI deployment it is also a **Xenial Virtual Machine**)
|
|
* We are testing:
|
|
* in S1 mode (ie we are connected to a 3rd-party EPC)
|
|
* in noS1 mode (no need for an EPC)
|
|
|
|
Normally it should be fine to run both executables on the same host using the `loopback` interface to communicate. **But we are not guaranting it**
|
|
|
|
1. [With S1 -- eNB and UE on 2 hosts](L2NFAPI_S1.md)
|
|
2. [No S1 -- eNB and UE on 2 hosts](L2NFAPI_NOS1.md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
**2022/03/08: Starting the `2022.w01` tag on the `develop` branch, the L2 nFAPI simulation is using a proxy.**
|
|
|
|
A tutorial is available on the [EpiSci GitHub Repository](https://github.com/EpiSci/oai-lte-5g-multi-ue-proxy#readme).
|
|
|
|
This proxy allows to perform L2 nFAPI simulator for:
|
|
|
|
* LTE
|
|
* 5G-NSA
|
|
* 5G-SA
