Joint ETSI - OSA Workshop: Open Implementations and Standardization

Agenda for 11, 12 and 13 December 2018

A one day pre event training on Open implementation of 5G on General Purpose Processors took place on 11 December 2018.

The training, addressed to engineers and software developers was a combination of tutorials and hands-on on the OpenAirInterface Software Stack and PHY software. The training allowed participants new to OpenAirInterface to understand its functions, features and extent to which it can serve standards.

Training Objectives

• learn how 4G/5G features are implemented and optimized on general purpose processors and Commercial Over The Shelf hardware as well as how open projects are managed and code quality ensured;
• kick start work on tools such as OpenAirInterface;
• cover basic software elements, installation and start-up procedure, brief overview of current test framework and deployment possibilities of the platform;
• cover coding guidelines and continuous integration topics and why they are of key importance in open community-based projects.
