Running ORAN experiments in POWDER

[Kazi Samin Mubasshir]

Hello POWDER team,

I am trying to create RAN resources using srslte-shvlan-oran profile to connect to a RIC over a shared virtual LAN I created using the ORAN profile. I have some questions regarding this:

1. What should be vlan ip address, does keeping the default value(10.254.254.1) work?
2. What frequency range should I reserve for the srsLTE Controlled/Indoor RF profile?
3. Are there any other parameters I need to set (and their values)?

I appreciate all the support you provide!

Best Regards

Kazi

Hi Kazi,

The default value for the `Shared VLAN IP Address` parameter is empty,
and you should set it to something other than `10.254.254.1`. This is
an IP address for the NodeB host a shared vlan that is typically created
by first instantiating our O-RAN profile and enabling the parameter
there (click `Add Shared VLAN`, then select `Create Shared VLAN`).

`10.254.254.1` is the default value for the `O-RAN Services Gateway
Address` parameter, and you can leave that value as the default. This
parameter value corresponds to the IP address of the RIC in an O-RAN
experiment, instantiated from this profile:
https://www.powderwireless.net/instantiate.php?profile=1bd62bf4-5b60-11eb-b1eb-e4434b2381fc&from=manage-profile
. The O-RAN profile creates the shared vlan and allocates 10.254.254.1
to itself, so the RIC is then reachable at that IP address, by the
nodeB(s) in the experiment you create with the `srslte-shvlan-oran`
profile. When you instantiate the `srslte-shvlan-

You can reserve spectrum (and other resources) on this page:
https://www.powderwireless.net/resgroup.php . Note that you can see the
"Allowed Ranges", and by clicking on each kind of range in the subpanel
header (e.g. "LCBAND/CBRS") you can visually see existing reservations.

I hope I've clarified above, but let me know if not.

Note that you don't need to request/reserve spectrum when using the
controlled/conducted RF environment. You _do_ need to reserve it when
using over-the-air (e.g., the indoor OTA lab) resources.

Hello,
Thanks for the clarifications! Are there saved parameter sets for these profiles (ORAN and srslte-shvlan-oran) that I can use while instantiating them?

Best Regards

Hi Kazi,

Sure, here are two paramsets that give you an example:

https://www.powderwireless.net/p/PowderProfiles/O-RAN&rerun_paramset=96caf32c-978d-11ef-af1a-e4434b2381fc

* Starts the O-RAN experiment, which creates the shared vlan

https://www.powderwireless.net/p/PowderTeam/srslte-shvlan-oran&rerun_paramset=1ec0319e-978e-11ef-af1a-e4434b2381fc

* Allocates indoor OTA lab radios and connects the nodeb host to the
shared vlan

* (you will need reservations for the indoor OTA lab resources and
spectrum)

Thanks,

David
