Before delving into the installation, please check the hardware and software components list over which we tested openLEON.

You will need to install these softwares on each PC:

Installation on the eNodeB PC

• Install UHD
• Install srsLTE

Installation on the Mininet/EPC PC

• Install Virtual Machine
• Import the virtual image

Installation on the UE PC

• Install UHD/bladeRF
• Install srsLTE

If everything is installed, you can go to the page of execution instructions to run the platform.

sudo apt-get install bladerf libbladerf-dev bladerf-firmware-fx3 bladerf-fpga-hostedx40 

srsLTE

• Basic dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git subversion cmake libboost-system-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev libqwt-dev libqt4-dev libfftw3-dev libsctp-dev libconfig-dev libconfig++-dev libmbedtls-dev

• srsGUI: https://github.com/srsLTE/srsGUI
• Volk: https://github.com/gnuradio/volk

Clone and install srsLTE. We tested it using the version 18.3.1, for this reason we encourage you to download this version:

git clone https://github.com/srsLTE/srsLTE.git --branch release_18_03_1 --single-branch
cd srsLTE
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
make test

If you have compiled everything and all the tests were successfully passed, you will find all the srsLTE executables in srsLTE/build

In addition, it is needed to copy the eNodeB and UE configurations files:

cd ..
cp srsenb/enb.conf.example build/srsenb/src/enb.conf
cp srsenb/rr.conf.example build/srsenb/src/rr.conf
cp srsenb/sib.conf.example build/srsenb/src/sib.conf
cp srsenb/drb.conf.example build/srsenb/src/drb.conf
cp srsue/ue.conf.example build/srsue/src/ue.conf
