4x20GbE
Outdoor deployment of 5G-NR RRUs (+LTE-M/NB-IoT)
Frequency allocations in place / pending
MHz TDD (61 dBm EIRP, NR band 78) => 5G eMBB/URLLC
MHz TDD (61 dBm EIRP, LTE band 38) => 4G legacy
698 – 703/753 – 758 MHz FDD (LTE band 68) => IoT / ProSe
733 – 736/788 – 791 MHz FDD (LTE band 14) => IoT / ProSe
703 – 748/758 – 803 MHz FDD (LTE band 28 / NR band 28, 57 dBm EIRP, pending) => 5G
Experimental Playground for OAI
Target scenarios : eMBB, URLLC, mMTC, D2D

3. Technologies
EURECOM’s 5G Experimentation Infrastructure is based on the OpenAirInterface and Mosaic5G software packages along with commercially-available RF and computing equipment. The test site can be used to experiment with the following 3GPP technologies
3GPP 5G NR (including RU,DU and CU node functions)
3GPP 4G LTE-A (including RU,DU-LTE and CU-LTE node functions)
3GPP 4G LTE-M
3GPP 4G NB-IoT
3GPP 4G LTE-Sidelink (ProSe / V2X)
3GPP Rel 15 EPC (MME,HSS,S+PGw)
3GPP Rel 15 5GCore (end 2019)

4. HW/Interconnection / Orchestration
RAN / EPC cloud
OpenShift x86 cluster (Xeon Gold 36-core servers)
CumulusOS switching fabric
20 4G RRUs (TDD Band 38, MHz)
2x8-antenna 5G NR RRU (TDD Band n78, MHz)
2x2-antenna 4G IoT/Sidelink RRU (FDD Bands 14,68)
2x2-antenna 5G FDD Band n28 (pending agreement)
Control-plane (EPC/CU) can be remote (OAI VNFs at remote site for CU)
Will be controllable in ONAP environment (5G-EVE / OPNFV VCO 3.0)
Access via Internet / GEANT
SSH / IPSEC for control-plane via RENATER/GEANT
User-plane is locally-connected for high-speed services or via RENATER/GEANT for low-speed services.
