title: Your First LTE
head_inline: "<style> .blue { color: blue; } .bold { font-weight: bold; } </style>"
---
This post is the perfect starting point for learning to build your own LTE network. View this lession as a guided introduction -- including the installation, configuration, and best practices that will ease your learning.
### Prerequisites
---
First, you have to prepare USRP B200/B210 to run srsRAN. However, please keep in mind that you would still need a fairly high-end PC (at least dual-core i5, better quad-core i7) with USB 3.0 to attach the USRP B200/B210.
For USRP B200/B210, you can use a GPS antenna for clock synchronization. Of course, it can work without a GPS antenna, but if you have that antenna, it's a good to have a window near your desk where you can put the small GPS patch antenna. In my case, a 1 to 2 meters antenna cable is used between desk/computer and the window.
This document will be described with the following equipment.
- i5-8500 PC with Ubuntu 20.04(focal)
- USRP B200/B210 with USB 3.0
- iPhone XS
- sysmoUSIM-SJS1
- 10Mhz GPS-DO(Optional)
### Overall Physical Setup
---
If you want to use GPS antenna, setup your devices in the following order:
1. GPS antenna near window
2. GPS antenna connected to "GPS ANT" connector of GPS-DO (SMA)
3. 10MHz output (BNC) of GPS-DO connected to 10MHz input of USRP (SMA)
4. GPS input of USRP open/unused!
5. 1PPS input of USRP open/unused!
6. GPS-DO powered via power supply
**Note:** When the GPS-DO acquires a lock on the GPS signal, a **GREEN** LED is displayed. GPS takes time to function normally. You also need to wait for the **RED** LED(ALARM) to turn off.
{: .notice--warning}
Then, setup the USRP B200/B210 as below:
1. **Small Antennas** should be connected to USRP Rx/Tx ports (RF-A/RF-B)
2. USRP powered via power supply or over **USB 3.0**
3. USRP **USB 3.0** port connected to your PC
### USIM Setup
---
Bascially, you can learn how to use it in the [sysmoUSIM manual](https://www.sysmocom.de/manuals/sysmousim-manual.pdf) or on the [official homepage of pysim project](http://osmocom.org/projects/pysim/wiki). Let's take a quickstart guide for this experiment.
###### Install dependencies:
```
$ sudo apt-get install pcscd pcsc-tools libccid libpcsclite-dev python-pyscard
```
- Connect SIM card reader to your computer and insert programmable SIM card to the reader.
###### Check the status of connection by entering the following command:
```
$ pcsc_scan
PC/SC device scanner

```
- If SIM card reader is recognized then we can expect to print "Card inserted".
###### Get the code of PySIM with installing dependency:
```
$ sudo apt-get install python-pyscard python-serial python-pip
$ pip install pytlv
$ git clone git://git.osmocom.org/pysim
```
###### Read your SIM card:
```
$ ./pySim-read.py -p0 or ./pySim-read.py -p1

...
```
###### Program your SIM card like the followings:
```
./pySim-prog.py -p 0 -n Open5GS -a 62416296 -s 8988211000000213010 -i 310789012345301 -x 310 -y 789 -k 82E9053A1882085FF2C020359938DAE9 -o BFD5771AAF4F6728E9BC6EF2C2533BDB

Insert card now (or CTRL-C to cancel)
Autodetected card type: sysmoUSIM-SJS1
Generated card parameters :
> Name : Open5GS
> SMSP : e1ffffffffffffffffffffffff0581005155f5ffffffffffff000000

Done !
```
**Note:** You should use your ADM value to program USIM card, not my ADM(-a 62416296).

### Installation
---
We will use *Ubuntu 20.04(focal)* installed PC.
{: .blue .bold}
#### 1. USRP Hardware Driver
Most Linux distributions provide UHD as part of their package management. On *Debian and Ubuntu* systems, this will install the base UHD library, all headers and build-specific files, as well as utilities:
```bash
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ettusresearch/uhd
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install libuhd-dev libuhd003 uhd-host
```
After installing, you need to download the FPGA images packages by running _uhd images downloader_ on the command line (the actual path may differ based on your installation):
```bash
$ sudo /usr/lib/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py
```
#### 2. srsRAN
On *Ubuntu 20.04(focal)*, one can install the required libraries with:
```bash
$ sudo apt install cmake libfftw3-dev libmbedtls-dev libboost-program-options-dev libconfig++-dev libsctp-dev
```
Download and build srsLTE:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/srsRAN/srsRAN.git
$ cd srsRAN
$ git checkout release_21_10
$ git rev-parse HEAD
5275f33360f1b3f1ee8d1c4d9ae951ac7c4ecd4e
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ../
$ make
$ make test
```
#### 3. Open5GS
The Open5GS package is available on the recent versions of *Ubuntu*.
```bash
# Getting the authentication key
$ sudo apt install wget
$ wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/acetcom:/open5gs:/latest/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key
$ sudo apt-key add Release.key
# Installing Open5GS
$ sudo sh -c "echo 'deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/acetcom:/open5gs:/latest/xUbuntu_20.04/ ./' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/open5gs.list"
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install open5gs
```
The following shows how to install the Web UI of Open5GS.
```bash
$ curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
$ sudo apt install nodejs
$ curl -fsSL https://open5gs.org/open5gs/assets/webui/install | sudo -E bash -
```
### Configuration & Running
---
#### 1. Open5GS
When you purchase the sysmoUSIM, you will receive the following information via e-mail.
```
Title : sysmocom SIM Card Details / AM93\PICK\00859
IMSI ICCID ACC PIN1 PUK1 PIN2 PUK2 Ki OPC ADM1 KIC1 KID1 KIK1
...

```
Here's my subscriber information from above.
```
MCC/MNC : 999/70
IMSI : 999700000017408
K : B1233463AB9BC2AD2DB1830EB6417E7B
OPc : 625150E2A943E3353DD23554101CAFD4
```
If you programmed USIM using a card reader like me, you should use your SIM information.
```
MCC/MNC : 310/789
IMSI : 310789012345301
K : 82E9053A1882085FF2C020359938DAE9
OPc : BFD5771AAF4F6728E9BC6EF2C2533BDB
```
Connect to `http://localhost:3000` and login with **admin** account.
> Username : admin
> Password : 1423
Then proceed as follows:
1. Go to `Subscriber` Menu.
2. Click `+` Button to add a new subscriber.
3. Fill the IMSI, security context(K, OPc, AMF), and APN of the subscriber.
4. Click `SAVE` Button
**Note:** Subscribers added with this tool immediately register in the Open5GS HSS/UDR without the need to restart any daemon. However, if you use the WebUI to change subscriber profile, you must restart the Open5GS AMF/MME daemon for the changes to take effect.

After changing conf files, please restart Open5GS daemons.
```bash
$ sudo systemctl restart open5gs-mmed.service
$ sudo systemctl restart open5gs-sgwud.service
```
If your phone can connect to internet, you must run the following command in Open5GS-PGW installed host.
```bash
### Check IP Tables
$ sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
### Check NAT Tables
$ sudo iptables -L -t nat
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
### Enable IPv4/IPv6 Forwarding
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
### Add NAT Rule
$ sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.45.0.0/16 ! -o ogstun -j MASQUERADE
$ sudo ip6tables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 2001:db8:cafe::/48 ! -o ogstun -j MASQUERADE
```
**Note:** For the first time, it is a good condition if you do not have any rules in the IP/NAT tables. If a program such as docker has already set up a rule, you will need to add a rule differently.
{: .notice--danger}
#### 2. srsRAN
Change back to the srsRAN source directory and copy the main config example as well as all additional config files for RR, SIB and DRB.
```bash
$ cp srsenb/enb.conf.example srsenb/enb.conf
$ cp srsenb/rr.conf.example srsenb/rr.conf
$ cp srsenb/drb.conf.example srsenb/drb.conf
$ cp srsenb/sib.conf.example srsenb/sib.conf
$ cp srsenb/sib.conf.mbsfn.example srsenb/sib.conf.mbsfn
```
You should check your phone frequency. If your phone does not support Band-3, you should use a different DL EARFCN value.
