NVIDIA Aerial RAN CoLab Over-the-Air (ARC-OTA)

Aerial RAN CoLab (Over The Air) (ARC-OTA for short) is a fully featured platform targeted for next generation wireless, easing developer onboarding and algorithm development in real time networks. ARC-OTA equips developers, researchers, operators, and network equipment providers with all the components necessary to deploy a campus network for research with the following:

  1. A 3GPP Release 15 compliant and Over-The-Air (OTA) operational O-RAN 7.2 split campus 5G SA 4T4R wireless stack, with all the network elements from Radio Access Network and 5G Core. Aerial SDK Layer 1 (https://developer.nvidia.com/aerial-sdk) is integrated with the Open Air Alliance (OAI) (https://openairinterface.org/) Distributed Unit (DU), Centralized Unit (CU), and a 5G NR gNB and 5G Core Node(CN) network elements.
  2. A blueprint to ease onboarding, staging, and integrating the Advanced 5G network components and verification steps through bi-directional UDP traffic. Along with the comprehensive Bill of Materials (BOM), a step-by-step staging and setup recipe, tutorials, and troubleshooting tips are provided to configure all the network components for a quick turnaround live network.
  3. Complete access to source code in C/C++ is available from Layer 1 through 5GC to jump start customization and NG algorithm research.
