Abstract

Software radio suite Radio Access Network (srsRAN) has been widely used in experimental research for 5G, 6G and their evolutions. However, in the current implementation of srsRAN, the Evolved Node B (srsENB) and Evolved Packet Core (srsEPC) are interfaced through wired connections, which makes it challenging to conduct experiments with mobile srsENBs and dynamic association between User Equipment (srsUE) and srsENB in future wireless networks. To address this challenge, we propose to interface srsENB and srsEPC by allowing srsENB to interface with srsEPC through wireless links and hence enabling easy integration of multiple possibly mobile srsENBs in experimental research. We show the effectiveness and scalability of the new srsRAN architecture through two demonstrations: (i) srsUE-srsENB connection establishment; (ii) srsUE handover between two srsENBs wirelessly interfaced with the same srsEPC.
