Installation Guide
The following sections will guide you through the process of integrating and deploying ARC-OTA for advanced 5G and 6G research:
| Part 1 – Procure the Hardware | Procure all the required hardware based on the published BOM in this document. |
| Part 2 – Configure the Network Hardware | Perform setup on the required network devices. |
| Part 3 – Configure gNB Server | Install the kernel command line specific to ARC-OTA. |
| Part 4 – Install ARC-OTA Using SDK Manager | Use the SDK Manager to install ARC-OTA. |
| Part 5 – Set up Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN Layer 1 with OAI gNB and CN5G (For Debug Only) | This installation method is for debug purposes only. Instead of using SDK Manager to install ARC-OTA, all necessary software components are installed manually. |
| Part 6 – Valdiate the Setup | Validate the setup using bi-directional UDP. |
