Helm Step Installation

I installed the basic core network setup. Because it support to utilize external database for network function.

Clone Core 5G Repository

git clone https://github.com/adaptivenetworklab/AN-OPEN-NETRA-VNF

Create Namespace named core-network

kubectl create ns core-network

Helm Custom Chart For Core Network Deployment

# Core Network Chart
cd AN-OPEN-NETRA-VNF/oai-5g-core/
mysql  oai-5g-advance  oai-5g-basic  oai-5g-mini  oai-amf  oai-ausf  oai-nrf  oai-nssf  oai-smf  oai-traffic-server  oai-udm  oai-udr  oai-upf
helm dependency update

# RAN Chart
ls AN-OPEN-NETRA-VNF/user_n/oai-e2e/
oai-cu  oai-du  oai-nr-ue
helm dependency update

Starting version 2.0.0 of OAI 5G Core network functions their configuration will be in config.yaml and all infrastructure related information including image definition will be in values.yaml.

Helm chart of every network function looks similar and has the below structure. Only the chart of mysql database and NRF is different.

Configuring Core Network

Network function discovers each-other using NRF and instead of using the ip-address of network functions we rely on using their FQDN, Kubernetes service concept. To communicate with each other whether we deploy them in reference point architecture or service based architecture.

For example: AMF registers with NRF using NRF FQDN (oai-nrf.core-network.svc.cluster.local). This way we can get rid of any static ip-address configuration.

Configure Multiple Interfaces

The network functions will use different virtual ethernet (veth) interfaces to bind their different logical interface. Example AMF communicates with gNB using N2 and with SMF and NRF using Namf, the Service Base Interface (SBI).
This type of configuration is also used when gNB is outside of the cluster or UPF is outside of the cluster.
To make the above seperation we are using multus to provide multiple ethernet interfaces to network functions which have multiple communication interfaces.
Only AMF, SMF and UPF have the possiblity to use multus. Other network functions can also use multus but then it needs to be configured.

To configure multus for AMF, SMF or UPF, in values.yaml of each network function edit the multus section.

## Example from oai-5g-basic/values.yaml
multus:
  ## If you don't want to add a default route in your pod then leave this field empty
  defaultGateway: ""
  n2Interface:
    create: true
    Ipadd: "172.21.6.94"
    Netmask: "22"
    ## If you do not have a gateway leave the field empty
    Gateway:
    ## If you do not want to add any routes in your pod then leave this field empty
    routes: 
    hostInterface: "ens33" # Interface of the host machine on which this pod will be scheduled

Configure Helm Chart Parameters

In the config.yaml of oai-5g-basic helm charts you will see the configurable parameters for all the network functions check, the PLMN, DNN and subscriber information in mysql database

For basic and advance deployment check the database oai_db-basic.sql

A new subscriber entry can be added directly in the sql file or it can be added once the core network is already deployed.

To add the entry before deploying the core network, make sure you have all the required subscriber information IMSI(ueid/supi), Key(encPermanentKey), OPC(encOpcKey), PLMN, NSSAI(SST, SD), DNN

vim AN-OPEN-NETRA-VNF/oai-5g-core/mysql/initialization/oai_db-basic.sql

# Add a new or edit existing entries after AuthenticationSubscription table
INSERT INTO `AuthenticationSubscription` (`ueid`, `authenticationMethod`, `encPermanentKey`, `protectionParameterId`, `sequenceNumber`, `authenticationManagementField`, `algorithmId`, `encOpcKey`, `encTopcKey`, `vectorGenerationInHss`, `n5gcAuthMethod`, `rgAuthenticationInd`, `supi`) VALUES

# Add the PDN/DNN information after SessionManagementSubscriptionData table
# To assign a static ip-address use the below entry
INSERT INTO `SessionManagementSubscriptionData` (`ueid`, `servingPlmnid`, `singleNssai`, `dnnConfigurations`, `internalGroupIds`, `sharedVnGroupDataIds`, `sharedDnnConfigurationsId`, `odbPacketServices`, `traceData`, `sharedTraceDataId`, `expectedUeBehavioursList`, `suggestedPacketNumDlList`, `3gppChargingCharacteristics`) VALUES
('208990100001101', '20899', '{\"sd\": \"16777204\", \"sst\": 1}', '{\"ims\": {\"sscModes\": {\"defaultSscMode\": \"SSC_MODE_1\"}, \"sessionAmbr\": {\"uplink\": \"1000Mbps\", \"downlink\": \"1000Mbps\"}, \"5gQosProfile\": {\"5qi\": 2, \"arp\": {\"preemptCap\": \"NOT_PREEMPT\", \"preemptVuln\": \"PREEMPTABLE\", \"priorityLevel\": 15}, \"priorityLevel\": 1}, \"pduSessionTypes\": {\"defaultSessionType\": \"IPV4V6\"}}, \"oai\": {\"sscModes\": {\"defaultSscMode\": \"SSC_MODE_1\"}, \"sessionAmbr\": {\"uplink\": \"1000Mbps\", \"downlink\": \"1000Mbps\"}, \"5gQosProfile\": {\"5qi\": 1, \"arp\": {\"preemptCap\": \"NOT_PREEMPT\", \"preemptVuln\": \"PREEMPTABLE\", \"priorityLevel\": 15}, \"priorityLevel\": 1}, \"pduSessionTypes\": {\"defaultSessionType\": \"IPV4\"}, \"staticIpAddress\": [{\"ipv4Addr\": \"12.1.1.100\"}]}}', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

In the config file smf.use_local_subscription_info should be yes to use the user DNN subscription information from the database. Else it will be used as defined in the configuration file.

Clone and see me for detail configuration

Helm install with related chart

Helm charts have an order of deployment for the proper configuration of core network.

Once the configuration is finished the charts can be deployed with a user who has the rights to
1. Create RBAC (Optional only if Openshift is used)
2. Run pod (only UPF needs that) with privileged and anyuid scc (optional only required if you have scc configure in your cluster)
3. Create multus binds (optional only if multus is used)
Install with this helm command:
```
cd AN-OPEN-NETRA-VNF/oai-5g-core/
helm install basic oai-5g-basic/ --namespace core-network
```
The output is similar to:
```
NAME: basic
LAST DEPLOYED: Tue Dec 12 10:04:40 2023
NAMESPACE: default
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
```
This command can take around 3-5 mins depending on your network speed and cluster configuration (computational capacity). You can use the wait command to see if the core network functions are running or not
```
kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=basic --timeout=3m -n core-network
```
Check the logs smf and upf to see that the PFCP session is properly configured,
```
kubectl logs -l app.kubernetes.io/name=oai-smf -n core-network | grep 'handle_receive(16 bytes)' | wc -l
kubectl logs -l app.kubernetes.io/name=oai-upf -n core-network | grep 'handle_receive(16 bytes)' | wc -l
```
If the value is more than 1 for both then it will verify that smf and upf have successfully registered to nrf and there is a PFCP session.
Wait until all the pods are up and running (k9s)

Helm Configuration of OAI-CU and OAI-DU

Very Important : To access internet in NR-UE the N6/SGI interface of UPF should be able access the internet.

OAI-CU requires the ip-address or service name of AMF. In case in AMF multus is used and N1/N2 interface is bind to multus interface, then please provide AMF ip-address.

Clone & see me for the detail CU/DU configuration

Deploy OAI-CU

cd user_n/oai-e2e/
helm install oai-cu-user-n oai-cu/ --namespace user-n

Check if the oai-cu is started

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=oai-cu-user-n --namespace user-n --timeout=3m

Deploy OAI-DU (RFSimulator)

cd user_n/oai-e2e/
helm install oai-du-user-n oai-du/ --namespace user-n

Check if the oai-du is started

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=oai-du-user-n --namespace user-n --timeout=3m

Validation CU –> DU Connection

To check if oai-du is connected to oai-cu, read the logs of cu and check F1 setup procedure was correct or not

kubectl logs --namespace user-n $(kubectl get pods --namespace user-n | grep oai-cu | awk '{print $1}') | grep 'Received F1 Setup Request'

The output is similar to:

838801.974035 [NR_RRC] I Received F1 Setup Request from gNB_DU 3584 (oai-du-rfsim) on assoc_id 189

Validation CU –> AMF Connection

To check if oai-cu is connected to amf, read the logs of amf and check N2 setup procedure was correct or not,

kubectl logs --namespace core-network $(kubectl get pods --namespace core-network | grep oai-amf| awk '{print $1}') | grep 'Connected'

The output is similar to:

Deploy OAI-NR-UE RFSimulator

Configure the UE Chart

Clone & see me for the detail OAI-NR-UE configuration

Do helm install to start the deployment

cd user_n/oai-e2e/
helm install nr-ue oai-nr-ue-user-n/ --namespace oai-gnb-ue

Check if the oai-nr-ue is started

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=oai-nr-ue-user-n --timeout=3m --namespace user-n

Validation UE got IP Address

Now you are start reading the logs of amf, smf and other network function to understand the message flow. Once the pdu session establishment procedure is finished you will receive an ip-address. You can start performing some testing.

check if the UE received an ip-address
```
kubectl exec -it -n user-n -c nr-ue $(kubectl get pods -n user-n | grep oai-nr-ue-user-n | awk '{print $1}') -- ifconfig oaitun_ue1 | grep -E '(^|\s)inet($|\s)' | awk '{print $2}'
```
The output is similar to:
```
12.1.1.100
```

Performing E2E traffic testing

Inside the nr-ue pod there is an extra tcdump container which can be use to perform traffic testing via iperf3 or

kubectl exec -it -n user-n -c nr-ue $(kubectl get pods -n user-n | grep oai-nr-ue-user-n | awk '{print $1}') -- ping -I oaitun_ue1 -c4 google.fr
PING google.fr (216.58.213.67) from 12.1.1.100 oaitun_ue1: 56(84) bytes of data.

## incase above doesn't work try with 8.8.8.8 instead of dns. If that works then probably you have't configure dns properly in SMF.

2. Validation & Testing

2.1 Control Plane

This part is where I validate the end-to-end control plane connection between the OAI RAN components.

Testing Backhaul (NGAP)
- SCTP Socket
  
  Validate the port on CU pod, using netstat -Spn
- Wireshark
Testing Midhaul (F1AP)
- SCTP Socket
- Wireshark

Testing Fronthaul
This build use simulator mode of the oai/openairinterface5g so one way to make sure that the fronthaul setup is correct is to check the port 4043 is on the LISTEN state and will be used by UE to connect into the gNB.

berhasil2

Parameter configured in gNB.du.conf









#...
rfsimulator: {
serveraddr = "server";
    serverport = "4043";
    options = (); #("saviq"); or/and "chanmod"
    modelname = "AWGN";
    IQfile = "/tmp/rfsimulator.iqs"
}
#...

Testing Air Interface (Simulator)
- nr-softmodem
- TCP Socket
  
  The air interface connection between UE and RFsim is emulated through tcp socket, that's why you will have an established tcp connection between the nr-softmodem and nr-uesoftmodem if your RFsim is connected properly with the UEsim.
- UE Attach Request & Response

2.2 Data Plane

An end-to-end connection of 5G setup should shows a successfull PDU and GTP tunnel traffic.

RFSimulator
PDU Session

A success attach procedure should shows that the core network successfully finished the UEContextSetupRequest from UE and give UE dataplane IP.
GTP Tunnel
- Do routing in UE and UPF in the first place
  - UPF Routing Configuration
  - UE Routing Configuration
- Ping test from UE simulator to UPF node through GTP Tunnel.
- Captured gtp traffic In Wireshark.

Raw Calculation

Core Network CPU and Memory Utilization

First, we'll sum up the CPU and memory usage for all the components in the Core Network:
```
  Total CPU (m): 5+19+30+36+11+33+32+10+1=177m
  Total Memory (Mi): 193+26+19+18+55+20+24+196+68=619Mi
```
Next, we'll calculate the percentage of CPU and memory each component uses relative to these totals.

Single CPU and Memory Utilization

For the Single category:

  Total CPU (m): 1+1577+1215=2793m
  Total Memory (Mi): 116+1303+533=1952Mi

Multi DU CPU and Memory Utilization

For the Multi DU category:

  Total CPU (m): 3+1597+1591+966+952=5109m
  Total Memory (Mi): 116+1303+1303+530+530=3782Mi

Multi UE CPU and Memory Utilization

For the Multi UE category:

  Total CPU (m): 14+1365+646+672=2697m
  Total Memory (Mi): 116+1309+530+529=2484Mi

3.3 IP Configuration Planning

System Topologi

Each user has 3 stages. First they have to configure the Single DU & UE, while the other stages are down (Replicaset equal to 0). Then after all the parameters on stages 1 complete, users can go to the next stages to complete the training.
Subnet IP for User N
- Multi DU
  
  Purpose Interface IP Address Port
  
  DU 1 F1 172.21.6.90/22 38472

3.4 Multiple DU & UE 📱

Helm Step Installation

Helm Configuration of OAI-CU and OAI-DU

Very Important : To access internet in NR-UE the N6/SGI interface of UPF should be able access the internet.

OAI-CU requires the ip-address or service name of AMF. In case in AMF multus is used and N1/N2 interface is bind to multus interface, then please provide AMF ip-address.

Clone & see me for the detail CU/DU configuration

Deploy OAI-CU

cd user_n/oai-e2e/
helm install oai-cu-user-n oai-cu/ --namespace user-n

Check if the oai-cu is started

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=oai-cu-user-n --namespace user-n --timeout=3m

Deploy OAI-DU (RFSimulator)

cd user_n/oai-e2e/
helm install oai-du-user-n oai-du/ --namespace user-n

Check if the oai-du is started

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=oai-du-user-n --namespace user-n --timeout=3m

Validation CU –> DU Connection

To check if oai-du is connected to oai-cu, read the logs of cu and check F1 setup procedure was correct or not

kubectl logs --namespace user-n $(kubectl get pods --namespace user-n | grep oai-cu | awk '{print $1}') | grep 'Received F1 Setup Request'

The output is similar to:

838801.974035 [NR_RRC] I Received F1 Setup Request from gNB_DU 3584 (oai-du-rfsim) on assoc_id 189

Validation CU –> AMF Connection

To check if oai-cu is connected to amf, read the logs of amf and check N2 setup procedure was correct or not,

kubectl logs --namespace core-network $(kubectl get pods --namespace core-network | grep oai-amf| awk '{print $1}') | grep 'Connected'

The output is similar to:

Defaulted container "amf" out of: amf, init (init)

Deploy OAI-NR-UE RFSimulator

Configure the UE Chart

Clone & see me for the detail OAI-NR-UE configuration

Do helm install to start the deployment

cd user_n/oai-e2e/
helm install nr-ue oai-nr-ue-user-n/ --namespace oai-gnb-ue

Check if the oai-nr-ue is started

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=oai-nr-ue-user-n --timeout=3m --namespace user-n

Validation UE got IP Address

Now you are start reading the logs of amf, smf and other network function to understand the message flow. Once the pdu session establishment procedure is finished you will receive an ip-address. You can start performing some testing.

check if the UE received an ip-address
```
kubectl exec -it -n user-n -c nr-ue $(kubectl get pods -n user-n | grep oai-nr-ue-user-n | awk '{print $1}') -- ifconfig oaitun_ue1 | grep -E '(^|\s)inet($|\s)' | awk '{print $2}'
```
The output is similar to:
```
12.1.1.100
```

Performing E2E traffic testing

Inside the nr-ue pod there is an extra tcdump container which can be use to perform traffic testing via iperf3 or

kubectl exec -it -n user-n -c nr-ue $(kubectl get pods -n user-n | grep oai-nr-ue-user-n | awk '{print $1}') -- ping -I oaitun_ue1 -c4 google.fr
