bscontrol aggregate manager

The ORBIT service to manage basestations named bscontrol, which manages the basestations, including power/rf on/off status, power and frequency selection, and other physical parameters.

To use this service, install the package omf-aggmgr-bscontrol-5.4 from the ORBIT repository

The following basestation types are supported, although with varying subsets of features. At a minimum, they support RF On and Off.

• WiMAX
  • NEC
  • Airspan
• LTE
  • Airspan
  • Amarisoft
  • OpenAirInterface
• Wifi
  • Hostapd

Datapath features are currently managed by bscontrol, but will be migrated to a new service, dpcontrol, for additional flexibility, as the EPC/ ASNgw is often centrally managed for many eNBs.

The main configuration file is in /etc/omf-aggmgr-5.4/enabled/bscontrol.yaml Command line options needed are specific to each basestation type.

The types themselves are defined/listed in /usr/share/omf-aggmgr-5.4/omg-aggmgr/ogs_bscontrol/bs
