You’re welcome, glad they’re helpful. Hopefully I can balance keeping the project going and still make some videos. Lots of ideas for new content, just need to find time.
Great video, thank you so much! Could you complemented with a UE connected through RAN? Considering the SIM configuration (write)? ... In your example you did the srsenb with a BladeRF and the srsue with a B200 right?, I only have one SDR full duplex device (BladeRF A9). I also have a RTL-SDR but I suppose it won't work (24 - 1766 MHz).
There’s another video where I shows a phone connected as the UE if that’s what you mean? I don’t recall if I used the bladerf as the enb but it should be fine. You’d need programmable sims though.
Hi to you being still passionate about your videos does the project work with a rtl-sdr? Because I only have this key and the Funcube pro dongle + you are at the top
Unfortunately not. Had I used maybe a lower band the most you could probably do with that equipment is use the LTE cell scanner and find the basestation. It supports soapy so maybe something like the LimeSDR would work, but I’ve not tried it.
Hey thanks for the video, I great work on the dragon OS project. I'll be firing up the XTRX soon to see if I can get it working. I see your working in the 2.6ghz space for this. Is srsLTE 4g? Have you attempted to get a real phone working as the handset?
There’s someone on the source forge page I had confirm some steps, sounded like after a little work it was running. SrsLTE now SrsRan is pretty cool, yes 4g/lte I believe and I have this phone laying here but I need to get programmable SIM cards! Till now I’ve only used another SDR acting as the UE..
dear sir. i was wondering if i can use the USRPN210 (Ethernet connection) for this project ? actually it costs me a lot with its daughter board, so i want to use in all porjects instead of the b205-mini if possible. thank you sir
might be stupid a question but still curious ;) why you used USRP b205 as cell or client instead of using your Samsung phone like you did in osmo-gsm videos ?
No question is dumb, I usually have lots of them :) For whatever reason, I’ve yet to order programmable SIM cards which is needed to connect to the LTE setup like you see here, so instead I used another SDR as the phone. One of these days I’ll get the necessary SIM cards!
Hi do we need both blade rf and usrp do both devices are necessary for testing if I buy blade rf will it will fulfill for lte testing or we need to buy both usrp and blade rf ?? Actually I am a new bie just 😜 asking this question for my knowledge and one more question does this thing can intercept calls and 4g messages?? Where can I buy this genuine products can you share me link ??
I’m using a bladerf and a usrp because I do not have programmable SIM cards yet, otherwise if you do then you would use one SDR as the base station and then you would connect using a real phone instead of another SDR acting as the phone.
Thanks for your helpful RUclips channel. I have only two USRP-N210. Could you please let me know if it is possible to deploy a basestation by DragonOS and USRP-N210?
I was able to use a ettus 310 with DragonOS but I had on RX cards, you should be fine as long as you configure network settings to match up with your n210 connection. Please let me know how you make out.
@@cemaxecuter7783 ّI installed SRSRAN on my Ubuntu but cannot run srsenb while USRP N210 is connected. It does not work with the error message "Error initializing radio". Attached is a screenshot of the error. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks drive.google.com/file/d/15KoePPc-3gTZVZIekLgS8MM-_A7GKz1p/view?usp=sharing
I think maybe you’re running an older DragonOS by the looks of the uhd driver version. If you need to stay using an older version that’s fine but you might want to grab and install the latest from here sourceforge.net/projects/dragonos-focal/files/ I’ll see what I can find on that error.
I think maybe some bad news. Look here hernan.de/blog/creating-a-cellular-testbed-with-yatebts-and-srslte/ “Bought two USRP N210’s to setup srsLTE. Spent a month trying to get these to work only to realize that srsLTE needs an SDR with a base clock that is a multiple of 1.92MHz (100MHz is not). It could in theory work with other clock rates by performing resampling, but it does not do this”
You can run the part that sets up the basestation, but neither the hackrf or the rtlsdr would be able to act as the handset. In theory you could do additional configuration and setup a SIM card in a compatible phone and connect that way. I’ve not tried that yet with the srsLTE setup. I’ve only tried that type of setup with GSM.
Someone says that it's possible to run it wiht limesdrmini , have a look one it : discourse.myriadrf.org/t/srslte-and-limesdr-mini/6688 . Did you use what configuration of PC ?
So here’s what I’ve found so far which the equipment I have and DragonOS Focal as is - One laptop with usb 3.0 and b205mini and one laptop with usb 3.0 and LimeSDR mini. I can get the LimeSDR mini to briefly connect as a UE to the b205mini and possibly it’s just rx tx gain settings making me have the two radios within inches of one another. I also tried to run the LimeSDR mini as the enodeb and have the b205mini be the UE since I don’t have any LTE handsets and sim. I could not get the b205mini to connect and the LimeSDR mini shows a lot of “L” warnings even after cpu is set to performance. It does make me happy to see the LimeSDR mini was able to briefly connect to the b205mini.
Very goof chance it will. I have a b205mini that’s picked up by uhd so I’d assume yours will be too. However, this is not a good sign github.com/srsran/srsRAN/issues/305
After researching it appears maybe srsLTE/srsRan has not did any patching to overcome the issue mentioned with the n210 and it’s capabilities. Best I can tell is that it’s still not supported due to what’s mentioned in that ticket.
@@cemaxecuter7783 Ok I think I have decided I'm going to get a B210 now. From what I've seen it is supported by srslte but I wanted to know your opinion.
Hi I would like to run iperf over two devices (raspberry pi's) connected over Bluetooth. I did manage to pair them together but I don't know how to set them an IP address, because iperf only knows how to do its thing over ip not directly to mac addresses. Do you think it's possible? And by the way since you have the ip address you could also try iperf for throughput test over your LTE network, that would be fun 😊!
I’ve actually never tried with Bluetooth. I’ll look into it and by the way I have steps to try that’ll allow me to connect to the Internet on the LTE client. I haven’t tried it yet but that’ll be really awesome. I also put gr-ieee-80211 and more in the lastest iso although it’s not immediately clear to me how to broadcast or connect to WiFi with it and the ettus radio I have.
@@cemaxecuter7783 That's great! 🙂 With the gr80211 I just managed to capture the Wi-Fi packets on Wireshark with hackrf. Looking forward for the next release 😊 Thank you.
I put the latest here, but if it’s super slow let me know and I’ll put it on google drive. sourceforge.net/projects/dragonos-focal/files/ I’ll have to figure out how you got the packets into wireshark.
Hi thanks for the video I've successfully get yatebts working following your guide thanks, question how can I access srslte gui and how do you add physical Sim Card?
There’s not really a GUI per say, I mean there is but only to visualize things and it would need turned on in settings. For the most part you do everything command line and you can edit config in /etc/srsran if I recall. As far as a sim you’d have to get programmable SIM cards. There’s great guides here docs.srsran.com/en/latest/app_notes/source/index.html
There’s no open source project that I know of that works to do such a thing, at least that I know of. There was one project but it turned out to not work. Now gsm, that’s different.

It should, but you may need to run sudo uhd_images_downloader in a terminal while DragonOS is connected to internet to pull in additional FPGA images.

@@cemaxecuter7783 ok great got it and if use programmable sim card we can make calls and sms as well right ? like in osmo-bts
That’s correct, I’ve even heard feedback about setting it up so the phone can access the internet.
Have you tried to run srslte on limesdr-mini? , if so how is the stability of the setup?
I haven’t. Wish I had one to try. It should work fine if used with soapy.
I emailed the lime people to see if I could get a sample LimeSDR mini 🤞🏻
@@cemaxecuter7783 hopefully you'll receive asap.

There’s no open source project that I know of that works to do such a thing, at least that I know of. There was one project but it turned out to not work. Now gsm, that’s different.
For testing purposes, you could potentially setup your own srsRan network and attempt to connect your phone to it and see your info.
Can you use srsran with HackRF?
With the cell scanner and some of its extra tools yes, but not with srsRan itself. You need a full duplex SDR like the lime, bladerf, ettus.

I cannot install from USB and DVD either, only on HYPER-V but no sound is available...
Hi. What are you trying to install to? Virtual or a real x86_64 PC?
Isit work on hackrf?
No sorry, hackrf is only half duplex. You need something like a bladerf, LimeSDR and ettus radio.
Is there a telegram? ask you for help
