    3 == OpenAirInterface(OAI) 5G Network with COTS UEs ==

    5 
    6 
    7 === Description ===
    8 This tutorial contains instructions for setting up [https://openairinterface.org/ OAI] 5G NR network using COTS user equipment in COSMOS testbed.
    9 Amarisoft provides software based gNB, 5GCore (eNB,EPC), and UE simulator that run on commodity off-the-shelf devices. A typical software-based cellular basestation/UE consists of a host PC and an SDR, where host PC is used for processing the baseband signals sent to and received from the SDR. Amarisoft supports various SDRs including USRPs such as N310, X310.
    10 In this tutorial, we run 5GCore, gNB(SA) on a host server+USRP N310 in COSMOS SB1. The UEs used in this experiment are

     3== [https://openairinterface.org/ OpenAirInterface (OAI)] 5G SA Network with CU/DU Split ==
     4
     5=== Purpose ===
     6This tutorial contains instructions based on [https://openairinterface.org/ OAI]'s 5G SA network with Central Unit(CU)/Distributed Unit(DU) split, connecting to available commodity off-the-shelf (COTS) in the ORBIT Testbed.
     7
     8As OAI is implemented for the network, the tutorial will provide instructions for setting up the following:
     9* SA gNB
     10* OAI 5GCore
     11* User Equipments (UEs) simulators that run on COTS devices
     12
     13Typically, 5G NR base stations prioritize hardware and monolithic networks, but for this tutorial, the software cellular base station and UE consists of a Orbit Nodes connected to a personal software-defined radio (SDR). Thereby, the OAI software can processing signals sent to and received from the SDR.
     14
     15Available SDRs on Orbit that can implement OAI software:
     16* B200/B210
     17* N310
     18* X310
     19* X2974
     20
     21In this tutorial, we will utilize ORBIT's GRID. Preferably, we will choose [[span(style=color: #0F00F0, node8-14 )]] and [[span(style=color: #0F00F0, node13-14)]], since it is more reliable to test with B210s.

    1723=== Prerequisites ===
    18 In order to access the test bed, create a reservation and have it approved by the reservation service. Access to the resources is granted after the reservation is confirmed. Please follow the process shown on the COSMOS [wiki:GettingStarted getting started] page to get started.
     24For access to the ORBIT testbed, create a reservation in the grid reservation and have it approved by the reservation service. Link to the reservations [https://orbit-lab.org/tractab/Reservations here].
     25
     26Access to the resources is granted after the reservation is confirmed. Please follow the process shown on the COSMOS [wiki:GettingStarted getting started] page to get started.
     27
    1928
    2029=== Resources required ===
    21 1 server, 1 USRP N310 for the base station and sdr1-in3 or srv1-in3 to access the UE in [https://wiki.cosmos-lab.org/wiki/Architecture/Domains/cosmos_sb1 COSMOS SB1] domain
     30As stated before:
     31* 2 ORBIT nodes on the grid network (B210s preferably in [[span(style=color: #0F00F0, node8-14 )]] and [[span(style=color: #0F00F0, node13-14)]])
     32* UE Connection either via another grid node or sdr1-in3 or srv1-in3 to access the UE in [https://wiki.cosmos-lab.org/wiki/Architecture/Domains/cosmos_sb1 COSMOS SB1] domain
     33
     34Choices for UEs:
     35
     361) SIMCOM SIM8200EA-M2 USB modem on sdr1-in3.sb1.cosmos.
     37
     382) OnePlus8T KB2005 phone (remotely accessible on srv1-in3.sb1.cosmos).
     39
     403) Manual setup, which will be discussed later.
