Robert Schmidt 5ad35f6bfe Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/vrtsim-taps-client' into integration_2025_w34 (!3407)
Taps client for vrtsim

The MR allows vrtsim to connect to the Raytracing Channel Emulator (CE later).
https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/raytracing-channel-emulator

Additional Ubuntu packages required:

- libnanomsg-dev
- flatbuffers-compiler
- libflatbuffers-dev

Everything was tested on the same host. Follow the steps below to
successfully replicate:

1. Build nr-softmodem dependencies
2. Build nr-softmodem for (gNB, nrUE) with OAI_VRTSIM_TAPS_CLIENTset to ON.
3. Start the core network (Optional) follow this tutorial
4. Start the gNB

       sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-NR-5GC/CONF/gnb.sa.band78.fr1.106PRB.usrpb210.conf --gNBs.[0].min_rxtxtime 6 --device.name vrtsim --vrtsim.role server --vrtsim.timescale 0.5 --vrtsim.taps-socket ipc:///tmp/ru_socket_0

5. Start the nrUE

       sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem -C 3619200000 -r 106 --numerology 1 --ssb 516  --band 78 --device.name vrtsim --vrtsim.taps-socket ipc:///tmp/ue_socket_0

6. Start the CE Server, once the UE and gNB are running properly, so the
   server can connect to IPC sockets
7. Start CE client; the binaries can be downloaded from a pipeline run
   or from this link
8. Move the UE in the CE client to generate a new taps array and
   populate the taps in softmodems

How to get support from the OAI Community

You can ask your question on the mailing lists.

Your email should contain below information:

  • A clear subject in your email.
  • For all the queries there should be [Query] in the subject of the email and for problems there should be [Problem].
  • In case of a problem, add a small description.
  • Do not share any photos unless you want to share a diagram.
  • OAI gNB/DU/CU/CU-CP/CU-UP configuration file in .conf format only.
  • Logs of OAI gNB/DU/CU/CU-CP/CU-UP in .log or .txt format only.
  • In case your question is related to performance, include a small description of the machine (Operating System, Kernel version, CPU, RAM and networking card) and diagram of your testing environment.
  • Known/open issues are present on GitLab, so keep checking.

Always remember a structured email will help us understand your issues quickly.
