5G OpenPlatform PDF

This document discusses design considerations for using the OpenAirInterface5G (OAI) open source platform as the basis for an Open5G system. It outlines challenges in using OAI due to a lack of design documents and multiple development branches. The proposed approach is to create design documents like a modification list, service access point definitions, message sequence charts, and specification description language documents to aid maintenance, development, training, and collaboration on the platform. An example of creating documents for narrowband Internet of Things is provided. The overall goal is to make OAI easier for newcomers to understand and extend for new technologies.

Challenges

• OpenAirInterface5G
– A good candidates for Open5G platform on which
researchers can realize their new ideas
• However,
– Source code available for LTE, lack of design
document
– Several developing branches
– Not so easy to maintain and extend for new comers
• What can we do?
5
If we don't know where
we've been, how will we
know where we're going?

6
Our Approach

• Prepare design document to the


community for
– Maintaining/developing the code
– Training new members
– Improving collaboration and cooperation

7
Our Approach

• What do we need?
– Modification list: know where we are
– Service access point (SAP)
• SAP primitive for interface spec.
• Message sequence chart for inter-layer operation
– Detail design (DD) document:
• Specification description language (SDL)

8
Message Sequence Chart
• MSC (Message Sequence Chart): ITU Z.120 recommendation.

9
Specification and Description Language

• SDL (Specification and Description Language): ITU Z.100 recommendation.

[Signal] : Carry Information and Parameters


Example: NB-IoT

Challenge Our Solution Outcome


NB-IoT specification is A excel file listing the difference Modification
spread in several LTE between LTE and NB-IoT List
specifications.
Lack of high-level Identify major functional blocks SAP
design document and primitives used in OAI Document
Use MSC to describe the
interactions among blocks
Lack of detail design Use SDL to describe the design Design
document concept based on OAI Document

Summary

• OAI is a good platform to start with.


• It’s not easy to start with, but it’s worth.
– The open source code is a good reference for
students to understand the spec.
– Students can learn to work as a team
• Just do it!
