Carrier aggregation implementation on Open Air Interface platform

OpenAirInterface (OAI) provides an open-source standard-compliant implementation of LTE Release 10 for UE, eNB, MME, HSS, SGw and PGw on standard Linux-based computing equipment (Intel x86 PC/ARM architectures) that can be used in conjunction with off-the-shelf SDR platforms such as USRP, Blade RF, Sodera, and ExpressMIMO2. The platform can be used for real-time experimentation and is interoperable with commercial equipment.
This presentation will introduce new features of OAI that make it simpler than ever to use for LTE-compliant spectrum-agile experimentation. These include the implementation of the Release 10 carrier aggregation features as well as an API that lets users implement their own scheduling algorithms and plug them directly into OAI. The presentation introduces the demonstration that is showcased on the SHARING booth. In this demonstration the carrier aggregation features of OAI are showcased together with a test UE from SEQUANS Communications. The development was partially financed by the FP7 project SOLDER.
