[![Coverity Scan Build Status](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/10045/badge.svg)](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/10045)
srsLTE is a free and open-source LTE library for SDR UE and eNodeB developed by SRS (www.softwareradiosystems.com). The library is highly modular with minimum inter-module or external dependencies. It is entirely written in C and, if available in the system, uses the acceleration library VOLK distributed in GNURadio.
srsLTE is a free and open-source LTE software suite developed by SRS (www.softwareradiosystems.com).
**srsLTE is used by srsUE, a full stack (PHY to IP) implementation of an LTE UE. srsUE is available at https://github.com/srslte/srsue**
It includes:
* srsUE - a complete SDR LTE UE application featuring all layers from PHY to IP
* srsENB - a complete SDR LTE eNodeB application
* a highly modular set of common libraries for PHY, MAC, RLC, PDCP, RRC, NAS, S1AP and GW layers.
srsLTE is released under the AGPLv3 license and uses software from the OpenLTE project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/openlte) for some security functions and for RRC/NAS message parsing.
The srsLTE software license is AGPLv3.

srsUE Features
--------------

* Virtual network interface *tun_srsue* created upon network attach
* Above 60 Mbps DL in SISO configuration.
srsUE has been fully tested and validated with the following network equipment:
* Amarisoft LTE100 eNodeB and EPC
* Nokia FlexiRadio family FSMF system module with 1800MHz FHED radio module and TravelHawk EPC simulator
* Huawei DBS3900
* Octasic Flexicell LTE-FDD NIB
srsENB Features
---------------
* Round Robin MAC scheduler with FAPI-like C++ API
* PUCCH Format1 and Format1A receiver
* Standard S1AP and GTP-U interfaces to the Core Network
* Tested up to 75 Mbps DL in SISO configuration with commercial UEs
srsENB has been tested and validated with the following handsets:
* LG Nexus 5
* Motorola Moto G4 plus
Hardware
========
--------
The library currently supports the Ettus Universal Hardware Driver (UHD) and the bladeRF driver. Thus, any hardware supported by UHD or bladeRF can be used. There is no sampling rate conversion, therefore the hardware should support 30.72 MHz clock in order to work correctly with LTE sampling frequencies and decode signals from live LTE base stations.

Running srsLTE Examples
========================
Execution Instructions
----------------------
* SIB1 reception and UE measurement from commercial LTE networks:
The srsUE and srsENB applications include example configuration files. Execute the applications with root privileges to enable real-time thread priorities and to permit creation of virtual network interfaces.
### srsUE
Run the srsUE application as follows:
```
lte/examples/pdsch_ue -f [frequency_in_Hz]
```
Where -f is the LTE channel frequency.
* eNodeB to UE Downlink PHY test
You will need two computers, each equipped with a USRP. At the transmitter side, run:
```
lte/examples/pdsch_enodeb -f [frequency_in_Hz] [-h for more commands]
sudo ./srsue ue.conf
```
At the receiver run:
### srsENB
As the srsLTE software suite does not include EPC functionality, a separate EPC is required to run srsENB. Run the application as follows:
```
lte/examples/pdsch_ue -r 1234 -f [frequency_in_Hz]
sudo ./srsenb enb.conf
```
At the transmitter console, it is possible to change the Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) by typing a new number (between 0 and 28) and pressing Enter.
The output at the receiver should look something similar to the following video. In this example, we removed the transmitter and receiver antennas in the middle of the demonstration, showing how reception is still possible (despite with some erros).

* Video over Downlink PHY (eNodeB to UE)
The previous example sends random bits to the UE. It is possible to open a TCP socket and stream video over the LTE PHY DL wireless connection. At the transmitter side, run the following command:
```
lte/examples/pdsch_enodeb -f [frequency_in_Hz] -u 2000 [-h for more commands]
```
The argument -u 2000 will open port 2000 for listening for TCP connections. Set a high-order MCS, like 16 by typing 16 in the eNodeB console and pressing Enter.
```
lte/examples/pdsch_ue -r 1234 -u 2001 -U 127.0.0.1 -f [frequency_in_Hz]
```
The arguments -u 2001 -U 127.0.0.1 will forward the data that was injected at the eNodeB to address:port indicated by the argument. Once you have the system running, you can transmit some useful data, like a video stream. At the transmitter side, run:
```
avconv -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -c:v mp4 -f mpegts tcp://127.0.0.1:2000
```
to stream the video captured from the webcam throught the local host port 2000. At the receiver, run:
```
avplay tcp://127.0.0.1:2001?listen -analyzeduration 100 -loglevel verbose
```
to watch the video.
