Prerequisites
This tutorial series assumes you have an ORBIT account, have scheduled a session on the ORBIT testbed, are familiar with SSH'ing into the testbed itself, and are familiar with the basics of running ORBIT experiments. If you have not done these things yet, you may wish to do so before taking a look at this slightly more advanced experiment. If you are unfamiliar with or are entirely new to ORBIT, you may wish to start here.
This set of tutorials also assumes basic familiarity with LTE standard. They are using OpenAirInterface open source software implementation of LTE basestation (eNodeB or eNB) and modem (user equipment or UE) developed at Eurecom.
The images used for these experiment are based on Ubunutu 14.04 and have low-latency 3.19 kernel (that was created based on OpenAir instructions) from ubutbu-14-04-64bit.ndz (baseline.ndz). In addition to installation steps in OpenAir documentation, once low latency kernel was installed, drivers for Broadcom and Netgear devices had to be manually re-installed.
Two images were created based on git cloning instructions and compiling instructions:
- oai-master.ndz - master branch clone from git in /root
- oai-develop.ndz - develop branch clone from git in /root
The openair-cn (EPC) was installed with default passwords of oai and default choice of "N" for optional packages (freeDiameter, asn1c pach and xtables_addons_oai). xtables_addons_oai was pulled out of git but not installed.
Update for oai-develop.ndz: The openair-cn (EPC) was installed with default passwords of oai and default choice of "Y" for optional packages (freeDiameter, asn1c pach and xtables_addons_oai). xtables_addons_oai was pulled out of git and installed.
