    Ben and all,

    I am using a B210 USRP with one antenna- Vert 900 connected to RF A TX/RX. I have trouble finding the PLMN network on my phone(IPhone 5). Using a LTE blank USIM and configured with k=11111111111111111111111111111111, op=63bfa50ee6523365ff14c1f45f88737d and imsi=111111111111111

    I am providing the configuration information below. Please kindly help me with this.

    1) When I telnet locahost 30000 and set the information as below:

    add_user imsi 111111111111111 imei 013630004786389 k 11111111111111111111111111111111
    ok
    print_users
    ok 1
    imsi=111111111111111 imei=13630004786389 k=11111111111111111111111111111111
    write tx_gain 65
    ok
    write rx_gain 35
    ok
    help
    System Configuration Parameters
    Read parameters using read <param> format
    Set parameters using write <param> <value> format
    Commands:
    start - Constructs the system information and starts the eNB
    stop - Stops the eNB
    shutdown - Stops the eNB and exits
    construct_si - Constructs the new system information
    help - Prints this screen
    add_user imsi=<imsi> imei=<imei> k=<k> - Adds a user to the HSS (<imsi> and <imei> are 15 decimal digits, and <k> is 32 hex digits)
    del_user imsi=<imsi> - Deletes a user from the HSS
    print_users - Prints all the users in the HSS
    Radio Parameters:
    available_radios: (read-only)

    selected_radio_idx = 1
    tx_gain = 65
    rx_gain = 35
    clock_source = internal
    System Parameters:
    band = 1
    bandwidth = 10
    cell_id = 1
    debug_level = radio phy mac rlc pdcp rrc mme gw user rb timer iface
    debug_type = error warning info debug

    dl_earfcn = 25
    dns_addr = C0A80101

    ul_earfcn = 18025
    use_cnfg_file = 0
    use_user_file = 0
    start
    ok

    Should I change any other parameter? Also should I use 2 antennas, one connected to RF A TX/RX and the other one connected to RF B TX/RX?

    2) When I run LTE_fdd_enodeb:

    And it goes on like LLLOULLL.. I see no debug information here. What probably is the issue here? And what do these symbols L,O,U mean?

    3) APN settings:

    I am not able to see the network on my Iphone 5. In IPhone I was only able to set APN Name- gave "www.openLTE.com"

    Should I change other settings like MCC, MNC etc? Because the default one is not 001/01 and I am not able to change that in my IPhone. Will that be an issue if I retain the default ones?

    When I scan for networks manually I am able to see only the default caarriers, i.e.,PLMN-1-1 is not seen.

    Please correct me if I am wrong somewhere.

    Thanks,
    Abhishek

    Answering to my own question.

    I could find the Test PLMN 1-1. I re-programmed the IMSI as 00101.... , so that the MCC and MNC will be taken as 001 and 01 by default respectively. So no rooting required.

    But when I try to connect to Test PLMN 1-1, it says "Registering on Test PLMN 1-1" for a long time and it fails. Why is that so?

      Abhishek,

      Can you post the output from the debug port (30001)? This will show what
      is going on during the attach procedure.

      Thanks,
      Ben

    Can you tell me why I am not able to see any successful connection messages and the MME related info? I am not able to see IMSI, k, IMEI info in the debug port as the UE is trying to connect to the USRP device via Test PLMN 1-1 network?

    I feel there is some synchronoiztion problem? Has it got anything to do with frames or clock adjustment?

    Thanks,
    Abhishek

      Abhishek,

      Please post the entire contents of the debug port output. From the
      snippets that you provided, it appears that parts of the registration are
      working (I.e. there are multiple C-RNTIs being assigned). The full log
      will show everything that is going on and where exactly the procedure is
      breaking down. Also the pcap file that is generated would be helpful.

      Thanks,
      Ben

    Ben,

    I have attached the debug file. Please tell me why the registration is not successful. Also, the pcap file is not ngetting generated. The one in /tmp/LTE_fdd_enodeb.pcap is empty.

    The following config is what I made: 2 antennas- one in RF A : TX/RX and another in RF A: RX2, and I have enabled pcap as 1, yet it doesn't capture packets. And in wireshark I am not able to capture packets on tun_openlte. Should I change the address as mentioned in the README.

      Abhishek,

      It seems like from the log that the UE is RACHing correctly and getting the
      RACH response message. It then correctly follows up with an RRC connection
      request, however this is where things stop. You can see this in the log by
      grepping for rrc. My suspicion is that this has something to do with a bug
      in with N_ant=2. Please retry with N_ant=1 and see if you have better
      success. Nothing else from your configuration looks incorrect.

      Hope this helps,
      Ben
