Aerial SDK features for 5G gNB

A 5G gNB capabilities, procedures, interfaces has dependencies on Aerial SDK PHY Layer. The purpose of this section is to ensure Aerial SDK provides support for gNB capabilities, procedures and interfaces.

  • Dynamic M-plane (dest MAC and VLAN ID) support

  • PUCCH Format 1 I+N and SINR, DTX for UCI on PUSCH

  • Predefined BeamId support

  • Foxconn O-RU support

  • Cell life cycle management with static cell config

  • Multi-cell support for upto 4 simultaneous homogeneous cells (statically configured)

Homogeneous Cell Lifecycle Mgmt - Cell State Mgmt (IS/OOS)

Feature Supported
Ability to support cell activation and de-activation. This is commonly refered to as taking a carrier OOS (Out of Service) and bringing it to IS (In Service) states Y

Aerial SDK Overall Beam and Carrier Mobility

Feature Configuration Supported
Inter-gNB Handover UE moves from 1 gNB to another gNB
  • UL RRC transfer
  • UE Context Modification Request/Response
  • UE Context Release
  • Serving and Target gNB cells can support different frequencies
N
Intra-DU Handover Cell-level Mobility - UE establishes new connection to new carrier (inter-cell) supported by UE context modification procedure
  • UE Context Modification Request/Response
  • UE Context Release
  • Serving and Target Cells can support different frequencies
N
Beam Mobility UE establishes data path to new beam within carrier coverage (intra-cell) No
Mobility at low speeds Aerial SDK shall support pedestrian mobility by modeling the 3GPP channels and 38.104 requirements N
