Request for Sample Config Files: 7.2 Split with Benetel RAN650

[Sabbir89]

Background:
I'm working with the Benetel RAN650 RU implementation and need to properly configure the 7.2 functional split architecture. I'm specifically looking for reference configuration files that others may have used successfully.

Request:
I'm seeking sample configuration files for:
srsRAN CU
srsRAN DU
RU.cfg for the Benetel RAN650

Environment Details:
Using 7.2 functional split architecture
Hardware:
Benetel RAN650 Radio Unit,
srsDU in one server
srsCU in another server
and Open5GS is in a separate server.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards,
Sabbir

Hi,

Is there any response from someone experienced?

Hi Sabbir. Have you find any configuration files? I am using RAN650-V1.4.0

If you took a look at the documentation, you would see that we have sample configuration files. You should be able to easily modify these to suit your use case. We do not provide sample configuration files for the RU. For this, you would have to refer to the Benetel documentation.

You can find the documentation here.

@Burak111
Thanks a lot for your reply! It is working now. Before I was using -l 4-11 -a 0000:8a:00.1, but I switched to your --lcores (0-1)@(0-23) suggestion. In the meantime I also upgraded the RU firmware, which might have contributed to the success. And yes, I’m using two ports and a switch between DU and RU, just like you mentioned.

I am happy to hear it!
Does it work with a 100 MHz bandwidth? If so, can you share your SRS and RU versions? Because I still cannot connect to a 100 MHz configuration with S23 UE.

Unfortunately not. It only worked for me at 20MHz, I assume it's a phone limitation, I'm using Core-Z5. Unfortunately, after adding a second phone, neither phone connects to the network... Once I solve this problem and test the second phone at 100MHz and it works, I'll let you know!

@Burak111, did you make any key changes to the DU/RU configuration before the UEs started connecting for 40/50MHz? None of my UEs (Core-Z5, Pixel, OnePlus, or Samsung S23) want to connect for more than 20MHz...

[Burak111]

There is no key change I made. Unfortunately, I try configurations by brute force because I do not understand what the problem might be.
