IWTU8: Implementing an Open-Source 5G End-to-End Testbed Using OAI and USRP Radios

Presentation Abstract
This workshop profiles the implementation, configuration, and operation of a comprehensive stand-alone open-source 5G end-to-end testbed to enable 5G research, development, and prototyping. The testbed provides a 5G SA FR1 and FR3 platform based on the OAI software stack and the USRP radio, for use both over-the-air (OTA) and with coax cable, and includes the all the primary system components: the core network; the basestation (gNB); and three implementations of the handset (UE). We will discuss in detail the full procedure for building this testbed and highlight several practical use-cases and explore troubleshooting steps.
