The old oaisim is dead! Long live oaisim! :)
If you are looking for a description of the old oaisim (which is still available in some branches/tags), please see [here](OpenAirLTEEmulation) and [here](how-to-run-oaisim-with-multiple-ue).
oaisim has been scraped and replaced by the same programs that are used for the real-time operation, `lte-softmodem` and `lte-uesoftmodem`. The latter also now includes an optional channel model, just like oaisim did.
# <a name="build">[How to build the eNB and the UE](BUILD.md)</a>
The following paragraph explains how to run the L1 simulator in noS1 mode and using the oai kernel modules.
# <a name="run-noS1-eNB">How to run an eNB with the noS1 option</a>
Modify the configuration file for IF4p5 fronthaul, `/openairinterface5g/ci-scripts/conf_files/rcc.band7.nos1.simulator.conf`, and replace the loopback interface with a physical ethernet interface and the IP addresses to work on your network. Copy your modifications to a new file, let's call YYY.conf the resulting configuration file.
Run lte-softmodem as usual with this configuration.
```bash
$ source oaienv
$ cd cmake_targets/tools
$ sudo -E ./init_nas_nos1 eNB
$ cd ../lte_build_oai/build
$ sudo -E ./lte-softmodem -O YYY.conf --noS1 --nokrnmod 0
```
# <a name="run-noS1-UE">How to run a UE with the noS1 option</a>
Similarly modify the example configuration file in `/openairinterface5g/ci-scripts/conf_files/rru.band7.nos1.simulator.conf` and replace loopback interface and IP addresses. Copy your modifications to a new file, let's call XXX.conf the resulting configuration file.
Run it like:
```bash
$ source oaienv
$ cd cmake_targets/tools
$ sudo -E ./init_nas_nos1 UE
$ cd ../lte_build_oai/build
$ sudo ./lte-uesoftmodem -O XXX.conf -r 25 --siml1 --noS1 --nokrnmod 0
```
That should give you equivalent functionality to what you had with oaisim including noise and RF channel emulation (path loss / fading, etc.). You should also be able to run multiple UEs.
# <a name="CInote">Continuous Integration notes</a>
The CI currently tests the noS1 build option with one eNB and one UE in the following scenarios:
* pinging one UE from one eNB
* pinging one eNB from one UE
* iperf download between one eNB and one UE
* iperf upload between one eNB and one UE
* all the above tests are done in FDD 5Mhz mode.
# <a name="noS1-pinging">How to ping an eNB from a UE and vice versa (with the noS1 option)</a>
Once your eNB and UE (built with the noS1 option) are running and synchronised, you can ping the eNB from the UE with the following command:
```bash
ping -I oai0 -c 20 $eNB_ip_addr
```
where $eNB_ip_addr is the IP address of your eNB.
Similarly, you can ping the UE from the eNB.
The IP adresses of the eNB and the UE are set up by the init_nas_nos1 program and should have the following values:
* eNB_ip_addr set to 20 10.0.1.1
* ue_ip_addr set to 20 10.0.1.2

This simulator allows to test L2 and above Layers using the nFAPI interface.
**This simulator is available starting the `v1.0.0` release on the `master` branch.**
Currently the only validated deployment by CI and developers is *with S1 interface and eNB / UEs are on the same machine*.
Others deployments will be supported later after bug fixes and validation in the CI process.

# 1. Environment #
2 servers are used in this deployment. You can use Virtual Machines instead of each server; like it is done in the CI process.
* Machine A contains the EPC.
* Machine B contains the OAI eNB and the OAI UE(s)
Example of L2 nFAPI Simulator testing environment:
<img src="../l2-nfapi-simulator/L2-sim-single-server-deployment.png" alt="" border=3>
Note that the IP addresses are indicative and need to be adapted to your environment.
# 2. Prepare the EPC #
Create the environment for the EPC and register all **USIM** information into the **HSS** database.
If you are using OAI-EPC ([see on GitHub](https://github.com/OPENAIRINTERFACE/openair-cn)), build **HSS/MME/SPGW** and create config files.
# 3. Retrieve the OAI eNB-UE source code #
The eNB and the UE executables will compiled into 2 separate folders on the same machine `B`.
```bash
$ ssh sudousername@machineB
$ git clone https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g/ enb_folder
$ cd enb_folder
$ git checkout -f v1.0.0
$ cd ..
$ cp -Rf enb_folder ue_folder
```
# 4. Setup of the USIM information in UE folder #
```bash
$ ssh sudousername@machineB
$ cd ue_folder
# Edit openair3/NAS/TOOLS/ue_eurecom_test_sfr.conf with your preferred editor
```
Edit the USIM information within this file in order to match the HSS database. They **HAVE TO** match:
* PLMN+MSIN and IMSI of users table of HSS database **SHALL** be the same.
* OPC of this file and OPC of users table of HSS database **SHALL** be the same.
* USIM_API_K of this file and the key of users table of HSS database **SHALL** be the same.
When testing multiple UEs, it is necessary to add other UEs information like described below for 2 Users. Only UE0 (first UE) information is written in the original file.
```
UE0:
{
USER: {
IMEI="356113022094149";
MANUFACTURER="EURECOM";
MODEL="LTE Android PC";
PIN="0000";
};
SIM: {
MSIN="0000000001"; // <-- Modify here
USIM_API_K="8baf473f2f8fd09487cccbd7097c6862";
OPC="e734f8734007d6c5ce7a0508809e7e9c";
MSISDN="33611123456";
};
...
};
// Copy the UE0 and edit
UE1: // <- Edit here
{
USER: {
IMEI="356113022094149";
MANUFACTURER="EURECOM";
MODEL="LTE Android PC";
PIN="0000";
};
SIM: {
MSIN="0000000002"; // <-- Modify here
USIM_API_K="8baf473f2f8fd09487cccbd7097c6862";
OPC="e734f8734007d6c5ce7a0508809e7e9c";
MSISDN="33611123456";
};
...
};
```
You can repeat the operation for as many users you want to test with.
# 5. Setup of the Configuration files #
**CAUTION: both proposed configuration files resides in the ci-scripts realm. You can copy them but you CANNOT push any modification on these 2 files as part of an MR without informing the CI team.**
## 5.1. The eNB Configuration file ##
```bash
$ ssh sudousername@machineB
$ cd enb_folder
# Edit ci-scripts/conf_files/rcc.band7.tm1.nfapi.conf with your preferred editor
```
First verify the nFAPI interface setup on the 2nd loopback interface.
```
MACRLCs = (
{
num_cc = 1;
local_s_if_name = "lo:"; // <-- HERE
remote_s_address = "127.0.0.1"; // <-- HERE
local_s_address = "127.0.0.2"; // <-- HERE
local_s_portc = 50001;
remote_s_portc = 50000;
local_s_portd = 50011;
remote_s_portd = 50010;
tr_s_preference = "nfapi";
tr_n_preference = "local_RRC";
}
);
```
If you are testing more than 16 UEs, a proper setting on the RUs is necessary. **Note that this part is NOT present in the original configuration file**.
```
RUs = (
{
local_rf = "yes"
nb_tx = 1
nb_rx = 1
att_tx = 20
att_rx = 0;
bands = [38];
max_pdschReferenceSignalPower = -23;
max_rxgain = 116;
eNB_instances = [0];
}
);
```
Last, the S1 interface shall be properly set.
```
////////// MME parameters:
mme_ip_address = ( { ipv4 = "CI_MME_IP_ADDR"; // replace with 192.168.10.20
ipv6 = "192:168:30::17";
active = "yes";
preference = "ipv4";
}
);
NETWORK_INTERFACES :
{
ENB_INTERFACE_NAME_FOR_S1_MME = "ens3"; // replace with the proper interface name
ENB_IPV4_ADDRESS_FOR_S1_MME = "CI_ENB_IP_ADDR"; // replace with 192.168.10.10
ENB_INTERFACE_NAME_FOR_S1U = "ens3"; // replace with the proper interface name
ENB_IPV4_ADDRESS_FOR_S1U = "CI_ENB_IP_ADDR"; // replace with 192.168.10.10
ENB_PORT_FOR_S1U = 2152; # Spec 2152
ENB_IPV4_ADDRESS_FOR_X2C = "CI_ENB_IP_ADDR"; // replace with 192.168.10.10
ENB_PORT_FOR_X2C = 36422; # Spec 36422
};
```
## 5.2. The UE Configuration file ##
```bash
$ ssh sudousername@machineB
$ cd ue_folder
# Edit ci-scripts/conf_files/ue.nfapi.conf with your preferred editor
```
Verify the nFAPI interface setup on the loopback interface.
```
L1s = (
{
num_cc = 1;
tr_n_preference = "nfapi";
local_n_if_name = "lo"; // <- HERE
remote_n_address = "127.0.0.2"; // <- HERE
local_n_address = "127.0.0.1"; // <- HERE
local_n_portc = 50000;
remote_n_portc = 50001;
local_n_portd = 50010;
remote_n_portd = 50011;
}
);
```
# 6. Bring Up a second loopback interface #
A second loopback interface is used to connect the eNB and the UEs.
```bash
$ ssh sudousername@machineB
$ sudo ifconfig lo: 127.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0 up
```
# 7. [Build OAI UE and eNodeB](BUILD.md) #
# 8. Initialize the NAS UE Layer #
Start the EPC on machine `A`.
```bash
$ ssh sudousername@machineA
# Start the EPC
```
# 9. Start the eNB #
In the first terminal (the one you used to build the eNB):
```bash
$ ssh sudousername@machineB
$ cd enb_folder/cmake_targets
$ sudo -E ./lte_build_oai/build/lte-softmodem -O ../ci-scripts/conf_files/rcc.band7.tm1.nfapi.conf > enb.log 2>&1
```
If you don't use redirection, you can test but many logs are printed on the console and this may affect performance of the L2-nFAPI simulator.
We do recommend the redirection in steady mode once your setup is correct.
# 10. Start the UE #
In the second terminal (the one you used to build the UE):
```bash
$ ssh sudousername@machineB
$ cd ue_folder/cmake_targets
# Test 64 UEs, 64 threads in FDD mode
$ sudo -E ./lte_build_oai/build/lte-uesoftmodem -O ../ci-scripts/conf_files/ue.nfapi.conf --L2-emul 3 --num-ues 64 --nums-ue-thread 64 > ue.log 2>&1
# Test 64 UEs, 64 threads in TDD mode
$ sudo -E ./lte_build_oai/build/lte-uesoftmodem -O ../ci-scripts/conf_files/ue.nfapi.conf --L2-emul 3 --num-ues 64 --nums-ue-thread 64 -T 1 > ue.log 2>&1
# The "-T 1" option means TDD config
```
- The number of UEs can set by using `--num-ues` option and the maximum UE number is 255 (with the `--mu*` options, otherwise 16).
- The umber of threads can set with the `--nums-ue-thread`. This number **SHALL NOT** be greater than the number of UEs.
- How many UE that can be tested depends on hardware (server , PC, etc) performance in your environment.
# 11. Test with ping #
In a third terminal, after around 10 seconds, the UE(s) shall be connected to the eNB:
```bash
$ ssh sudousername@machineA
# Ping UE0 IP address based on the EPC pool used: in this example:
$ ping -c 20 192.168.200.2
# Ping UE1 IP address based on the EPC pool used: in this example:
$ ping -c 20 192.168.200.4
```
# 12. Limitations #
Testing on the CI process is currently limited at time of writing. Improvements will be made soon.

The rf simulator is a oai device replacing the radio heads (for example the USRP device). It allows connecting the oai UE and the oai eNodeB through a network interface carrying the time-domain samples, getting rid of over the air unpredictable perturbations. This is the ideal tool to check signal processing algorithms implementation.

## l2 nfapi simulator
This simulator connects a eNodeB and UEs through the nfapi interface.
This simulator connects a eNodeB and UEs through a nfapi interface, short-cutting the L1 layer. The objective of this simulator is to allow multi UEs simulation, with a large number of UEs (ideally up to 255 ) .Here to ease the platform setup, UEs are simulated via a single `lte-uesoftmodem` instance. Today the CI tests just with one UE and architecture has to be reviewed to allow a number of UE above about 16. This work is on-going.
As for the rf simulator, no specific hardware is required. The [L2 nfapi simlator page](https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g/wikis/l2-nfapi-simulator/l2-nfapi-simulator-w-S1-same-machine) contains the detailed documentation.
