5	5	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 such as Amarisoft PCIe SDR50, SDR100, and USRPs such as N310, X310, 2974.
6	6	In this tutorial, we run 5GCore, gNB(SA) on a host node+USRP 2974 in COSMOS SB1, and the UE simulator on another host node+USRP 2974. The UE simulator can simulate one or more UEs, enabling experiments with large number of users connected to a base station.

	8	In this tutorial, we first generate the Amarisoft 5G NR signal in the sub-6 GHz band using the USRP 2974. On the transmit side, the Pi-Radio frequency converter is then used to upconvert this signal to 12 GHz for over-the-air transmission. At the receiver side, the converter performs the reverse operation, downconverting the 12 GHz signal back to the sub-6 GHz band (Band n7), allowing standard 5G NR processing and analysis.
