Hardware and eNB / gNB Service Check
For ORS Duo:
First, cells must be tested separately, for each cell do the following:
- Go to the eNB / gNB service (depending on the model of the cell you are testing)
- Set "Enable Cell" to true on the cell you are testing, and "Enable Cell" to false on the other cell
- Wait 5 minutes
- Perform all "Hardware and eNB / gNB Service Checks" tests from below
Then, both cells should be tested at the same time:
- Go to the eNB / gNB service (depending on the models of the cells)
- Set "Enable Cell" on both cells"
- Wait 5 minutes
- Connect a phone (no need to redo all the performance tests, just connect a phone)
For ORS Classic:
- Perform all "Hardware and eNB / gNB Service Checks" tests from below
For ORS Brute:
- adjust TX Gain, RX Gain and TX Power Offset
- Perform all "Hardware and eNB / gNB Service Checks" tests from below
Hardware and eNB / gNB Service Checks:
Some bands might have lower throughput than expected because of interference, B28 for instance will likely has interference because it is used a lot by public operators. In that case getting bad results doesn't necessarily mean the ORS is not working.
- Take a Oukitel WP30 Pro for all the following tests
- Insert any of the SIM Cards you flashed, disable airplane mode to connect it in 4G or 5G to the ORS
- If phone doesn't connect try the following:
- Go to phone dial, type *#*#*4636#*#* , go to "Phone Information", scroll to "Set Preferred Network Type" and set LTE Only for 4G or NR Only for 5G
- If it still doesn't work, reboot it and wait 5 minutes
- Go to core-network service, get the iperf3 server IP and port in the connection parameters
- Go to the eNB or gNB service (depending on which you are testing) and check the bandwidth
- Put the phone near the ORS (in the same room)
- Go to magic iperf3 app on the phone
- Make sure "iperf3" is selected in the app
- Execute the following command: "-c IP -p PORT -t20", and check speed is the following depending on the bandwidth you saw configured in the eNB or gNB service:
- TDD 20 MHz: 12 - 17 Mbps, FDD 20 MHz: 54 - 76.5 Mbps
- TDD 40 MHz: 30 - 40 Mbps
- TDD 50 MHz: 35 - 52.5 Mbps
- If you get low speed then lower RX Gain to 20 and check again
- Execute the following command: "-c IP -p PORT -t20 -R", and check speed is the following depending on the bandwidth you saw configured in the eNB or gNB service:
- TDD 20 MHz: 130 - 142 Mbps, FDD 20 MHz: 180 - 220 Mbps
- TDD 40 MHz: 270 - 308 Mbps
- 50 MHz: 350 - 397 Mbps
- Execute the following command: "-c IP -p PORT -t120 -R", move away in another room and check that the test doesn't get interrupted (speed might drop a lot but if the connection is cut as soon as you move away then the antennas are likely not well linked to the SDR board)
