Lab Architecture
This Hands-on Training consists of a virtualized 4G Core Network connected to a radio access network that implements a CU/DU split, a near-real-time controller (RIC) that controls E2 nodes, and a UE to allow for different end-to-end scenarios.
Why this Lab?
This Lab provides the knowledge necessary to understand the Open RAN architecture and its standards, its architecture and its interfaces, and the operational skills of its procedures.
Lab Objectives
- Understand the basics of Open RAN distributed architecture.
- Leveraging virtualization to deploy CU/DU (7.2 split with nFAPI emulator).
- Understand OpenRAN interfaces and protocols: E2 and F1.
- Immersive OpenRAN playground with hands-on scenarios.
- UE attachment and detachment using 4G Core Network (LTE RAN with OpenRAN design which includes CU, DU, and multiple UEs).
- Network reachability tests and performance.
- Debugging the protocols with traces.
