Open5GS EPC & OpenAirInterface UE / RAN Sample Configuration
From Open5GS v2.0.22, it is possible to connect to OpenAirInterface UE / RAN v1.0.3. Therefore, in order to use U-Plane's PDN (Packet Data Network) as a trial, I built a simulation environment for the CUPS-enabled EPC mobile network. This briefly describes the overall and configuration files.

Overview of Open5GS CUPS-enabled EPC Simulation Mobile Network
I created a CUPS-enabled EPC mobile network (Internet reachable) for simulation with the aim of creating an environment in which packets can be sent end-to-end with different PDNs for each APN.
The following minimum configuration was set as a condition.
- C-Plane have multiple U-Planes.
- U-Plane have multiple PDNs.
- Multiple UEs connect to same PDN.
The built simulation environment is as follows.
<img src="./images/network-overview.png" title="./images/network-overview.png" width=1000px></img>
Note. The PDN end-point addresses assigned to oipX TUNnel interfaces are not always in the order shown in the figure above.
The EPC / UE / RAN used are as follows.
- EPC - Open5GS v2.5.6 (2023.01.13) - https://github.com/open5gs/open5gs
- UE / RAN - OpenAirInterface(OAI) v1.0.3 - https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g/-/tree/v1.0.3
Each VMs are as follows.
| VM # | SW & Role | IP address | OS | Memory (Min) | HDD (Min) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VM1 | Open5GS EPC C-Plane | 192.168.0.111/24 <br> 192.168.0.112/24 | Ubuntu 20.04 | 1GB | 20GB |
| VM2 | Open5GS EPC U-Plane1 | 192.168.0.113/24 <br> 192.168.0.114/24 | Ubuntu 20.04 | 1GB | 20GB |
| VM3 | Open5GS EPC U-Plane2 | 192.168.0.115/24 <br> 192.168.0.116/24 | Ubuntu 20.04 | 1GB | 20GB |
| VM4 | OpenAirInterface UE / RAN | 192.168.0.120/24 | Ubuntu 18.04 | 2GB | 40GB |
OAI UE / RAN cannot be built on Ubuntu 20.04, so build it on Ubuntu 18.04.
Subscriber Information (other information is the same) is as follows.
| UE # | IMSI | APN | OP/OPc |
|---|---|---|---|
| UE0 | 001010000000100 | internet | OPc |
| UE1 | 001010000000101 | internet2 | OPc |
| UE2 | 001010000000102 | internet2 | OPc |
| UE3 | 001010000000103 | ims | OPc |
| UE4 | 001010000000104 | ims | OPc |
I registered these information with the Open5GS WebUI. In addition, 3GPP TS 35.208 "4.3 Test Sets" is published by 3GPP as test data for the 3GPP authentication and key generation functions (MILENAGE).
Each PDNs are as follows.
| PDN | TUNnel interface of PDN | APN | TUNnel interface of UE | U-Plane # |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.45.0.0/16 | ogstun | internet | oip1 | U-Plane1 |
| 10.46.0.0/16 | ogstun2 | internet2 | oip2, oip3 | U-Plane1 |
| 10.47.0.0/16 | ogstun3 | ims | oip4, oip5 | U-Plane2 |
Additional information.
Open5GS EPC U-Plane worked fine on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. I used Ubuntu 20.04 (64bit) for Raspberry Pi 4 as the OS. I think it would be convenient to place a compact U-Plane in the edge environment and use it as an end-point for PDN.
In addition, I have not confirmed the communication performance.

Changes in configuration files of Open5GS EPC and OAI UE / RAN
Please refer to the following for building Open5GS and OAI UE / RAN respectively.
- Open5GS v2.5.6 (2023.01.13) - https://open5gs.org/open5gs/docs/guide/02-building-open5gs-from-sources/
- OAI UE / RAN v1.0.3 - https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g/-/wikis/l2-nfapi-simulator/l2-nfapi-simulator-w-S1-same-machine

The following parameters can be used in the logic that selects SGW-U and UPF(PGW-U) as the connection destination by PFCP.
- APN
- TAC (Tracking Area Code)
- e_CellID
For the sake of simplicity, I used only APN this time.

Build Open5GS and OAI UE / RAN
Please refer to the following for building Open5GS and OAI UE / RAN respectively.
- Open5GS v2.5.6 (2023.01.13) - https://open5gs.org/open5gs/docs/guide/02-building-open5gs-from-sources/
- OAI UE / RAN v1.0.3 - https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g/-/wikis/l2-nfapi-simulator/l2-nfapi-simulator-w-S1-same-machine
Install MongoDB on Open5GS EPC C-Plane machine. It is not necessary to install MongoDB on Open5GS EPC U-Plane machines. MongoDB Compass is a convenient tool to look at the MongoDB database.
Note. When building OAI UE / RAN, add -I to the parameter of the build_oai command for the first time.
The following is an example of building eNB.
./build_oai -I --eNB -t ETHERNET -c

For oip2-oip5 as well, execute tcpdump on each U-Plane and check the packets flowing through ogstunX.
You could now create the end-to-end TUN interfaces on the PDN and send any packets on the network.
In investigating private LTE, I have built a simulation environment and can now use a very useful system for investigating CUPS-enabled EPC and MEC of LTE mobile network. I would like to thank the excellent developers and all the contributors of Open5GS and OpenAirInterface.
