Rúben Soares da Silva 703fa47814 Use string values for nFAPI parameter (--nfapi)
- previously, used magic numbers to designate nFAPI mode
- now, use string values (MONOLITHIC, PNF, VNF, ...)
- Remove printing of the nfapi mode to the console, as it's value is clear from the command-line argument
- Update usages of the --nfapi command-line parameter in scripts and documentation to reflect the change to string values

Procedure to run nFAPI in 5G NR

Contributed by 5G Testbed IISc

Developers: Gokul S, Mahesh A, Aniq U R

Procedure to Build gNB and UE

The regular commands to build gNB and UE can be used

sudo ./build_oai --gNB --nrUE

Procedure to run NR nFAPI using RF-Simulator

Bring up another loopback interface

If running for the first time on your computer, or you have restarted your computer, bring up another loopback interface with this command:

sudo ifconfig lo: 127.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0 up

VNF command

sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-LTE-EPC/CONF/rcc.band78.tm1.106PRB.nfapi.conf --nfapi VNF --noS1 --phy-test

PNF command

sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-LTE-EPC/CONF/oaiL1.nfapi.usrpx300.conf --nfapi PNF --rfsim --phy-test --rfsimulator.serveraddr server

UE command

sudo RFSIMULATOR=127.0.0.1 ./nr-uesoftmodem --rfsim --phy-test --rrc_config_path . -d

Procedure to run NR nFAPI using Hardware (tested with USRP x310)

VNF command

sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-LTE-EPC/CONF/rcc.band78.tm1.106PRB.nfapi.conf --nfapi VNF --noS1 --phy-test

PNF command

sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-LTE-EPC/CONF/oaiL1.nfapi.usrpx300.conf --nfapi PNF --phy-test

UE command

sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem --usrp-args "addr=*USRP_ADDRESS*,clock_source=external,time_source=external" --phy-test --rrc_config_path ../../../ci-scripts/rrc-files
