One of the main goals of this project is interoperability with commercial equipment and networks. Interoperability tests with commercial network/Testers: OAI UE will support general purpose RF platforms such as EXMIMO, BladeRF, USRP and LimeSDR running on Intel/ARM PC architecture. We are open to porting/integration of OAI UE with FPGAs/SoCs from community members on 3rd party platforms. Intel/Alterra) chip based compute platforms that can be seamlessly plugged into the generic PC architecture to offload compute intensive blocks such as Turbo decoder. However, as we go towards higher data rates/low latency, some of the industrial partners will also explore usage of SoC/FPGA (as e.g. OAI UE will run on general purpose platform such as Intel/ARM to leverage development from the community. Massive MIMO, LTE-LAA, NB-IoT and so on). Once this UE implementation is completed and tested it will be reused by other Open Air Interface Software Alliance (OSA) projects developing LTE-A Pro and 5G features (for ex. The first steps of the project are to improve the stability and performance of a Rel10 Cat4/TM4 UE and then develop and perform Inter-Operability Testing with the additional functionalities of Carrier Aggregation, TDD and full MIMO support. The current UE “Project 1B” aims at providing this starting point, leveraging the OpenAirInterface (OAI) software developed since years by EURECOM and its partners in order to provide a stable, standard compliant and field tested LTE-A UE implementation. To enable this we need to share a starting point, a foundation on which to build. The long term goal of our project is to allow collaborative development and testing of advanced wireless technologies including 5G. At OpenAirInterface, we are building with our community an entirely open source implementation of UE that runs on general purpose platforms such as Intel/ARM aiming towards future 3GPP Releases. However, there are very limited open source projects that are building open source radio access network (RAN) targeting the user equipment (UE). This movement has already gained lot of momentum especially in areas such as cloud computing, Linux based operating system such as Android and also Internet of Things (IoT) middleware development. 5G UE demonstrator using OpenAirInterface OpenAirInterface TeamĪs the race towards 5G begins, there is emergence of open source software especially in telecommunication world.
