How to configure wireshark for dissecting LTE protocols: - start the wireshark as a sudoers - goto analyze->enabled prototols => enable mac_lte_udp and rlc_lte_udp - goto edit/preferences and expand Protocols - select UDP and check "try heuristic sub-dissectors first" - select MAC-LTE, and check all the options (checkboxes), and set the "which layer info to show in info column" to "MAC info" - select RLC-LTE, and check all the options except the "May see RLC headers only", and set the "call PDCP dissector for DRB PDUs" to "12-bit SN". Optionally you may select the sequence analysis for RLC AM/UM. How to use - start eNB or UE with option -W (or -P if you want to make a pcap file) - capture on local interface "lo" - filter out the ICMP/DNS/TCP messages (e.g. "!icmp && !dns && !tcp")
