Has anyone started a project like this for LTE or 5G?
- newhouseb 6y agoThere are a couple projects of differing scope: - srsLTE (https://www.srslte.com/ https://www.srslte.com/) - OpenAirInterface (https://www.openairinterface.org/ https://www.openairinterface.org/) I've successfully used srsENB as a base station, largely to generate "model" LTE waveforms so that I could then decode them and verify my understanding. srsLTE is quite well written code-wise and is actively improving/growing. Seems to have a supportive single company and community behind it. OpenAirInterface is more geared towards 5G research and is a lot more ad-hoc in terms of documentation and capabilities.
- hwelte 6y agoPlease note: OpenAirInterface is not open source software. Large parts of it (particularly everything related to the RAN) are under a license that does not comply with either DFSG, nor OSI Open Source Definition, nor the FSF Free Software Definiton.

- hwelte 6y agoindeed, if you want a 100% open source 4G network, you can use srsLTE for the eNodeB, and open5gs for the EPC. No proprietary bits needed, and no non-free licenses needed either.
