Open5GS 5GC & UERANSIM UE / RAN Sample Configuration

UERANSIM (5G UE & RAN (gNodeB) implementation) supports IPv4 of PDU Session Type from 2020.11.17 version, and the Data Plane facility has been enabled. Therefore, in order to use U-Plane's DN (Data Network) as a trial, I built a simulation environment for the 5GC mobile network. This briefly describes the overall and configuration files.

Overview of Open5GS 5GC Simulation Mobile Network

I created a 5GC mobile network (Internet reachable) for simulation with the aim of creating an environment in which packets can be sent end-to-end with different DNs for each DNN.

The following minimum configuration was set as a condition.

  • C-Plane have multiple U-Planes.
  • U-Plane have multiple DNs.
  • Multiple UEs connect to same DN.

The built simulation environment is as follows.

The 5GC / UE / RAN used are as follows.

Each VMs are as follows.

VM # SW & Role IP address OS Memory (Min) HDD (Min)
VM1 Open5GS 5GC C-Plane 192.168.0.111/24 Ubuntu 22.04 1GB 20GB
VM2 Open5GS 5GC U-Plane1 192.168.0.112/24 Ubuntu 22.04 1GB 20GB
VM3 Open5GS 5GC U-Plane2 192.168.0.113/24 Ubuntu 22.04 1GB 20GB
VM4 UERANSIM RAN (gNodeB) 192.168.0.131/24 Ubuntu 22.04 1GB 10GB
VM5 UERANSIM UE 192.168.0.132/24 Ubuntu 22.04 1GB 10GB

Subscriber Information (other information is the same) is as follows.
Note. Please select OP or OPc according to the setting of UERANSIM UE configuration files.

UE # IMSI DNN OP/OPc
UE0 001010000000000 internet OPc
UE1 001010000000001 internet2 OPc
UE2 001010000000002 internet2 OPc
UE3 001010000000003 ims OPc
UE4 001010000000004 ims OPc

I registered these information with the Open5GS WebUI. In addition, 3GPP TS 35.208 "4.3 Test Sets" is published by 3GPP as test data for the 3GPP authentication and key generation functions (MILENAGE).

Each DNs are as follows.

DN TUNnel interface of DN DNN TUNnel interface of UE U-Plane #
10.45.0.0/16 ogstun internet uesimtun0 U-Plane1
10.46.0.0/16 ogstun2 internet2 uesimtun1, uesimtun2 U-Plane1
10.47.0.0/16 ogstun3 ims uesimtun3, uesimtun4 U-Plane2

Additional information.

Open5GS 5GC U-Plane worked fine on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. I used Ubuntu 20.04 (64bit) for Raspberry Pi 4 as the OS. I think it would be convenient to place a compact U-Plane in the edge environment and use it as an end-point for DN.

In addition, I have not confirmed the communication performance.

Changes in configuration files of Open5GS 5GC and UERANSIM UE / RAN

Please refer to the following for building Open5GS and UERANSIM respectively.

Changes in configuration files of Open5GS 5GC C-Plane

The following parameters can be used in the logic that selects UPF as the connection destination by PFCP.

  • DNN
  • TAC (Tracking Area Code)
  • nr_CellID

For the sake of simplicity, I used only DNN this time.

Run UERANSIM

Here, the case of UE0 (IMSI-001010000000000) & RAN is described. First, do an NG Setup between gNodeB and 5GC, then register the UE with 5GC and establish a PDU session.

Please refer to the following for usage of UERANSIM.

https://github.com/aligungr/UERANSIM/wiki/Usage

Start gNB

Start gNB as follows.

You could specify the IP address assigned to the TUNnel interface to run almost any applications (iperf3 etc.) as in the following example using nr-binder tool.

  • curl google.com on VM5 (UE0)
# sh nr-binder 10.45.0.2 curl google.com

Please note that the ping tool does not work with nr-binder. Please refer to here for the reason.

For UE1-UE4 as well, execute tcpdump on each U-Plane and check the packets flowing through ogstunX.

You could now create the end-to-end TUN interfaces on the DN and send any packets on the network.


In investigating 5G SA, I have built a simulation environment and can now use a very useful system for investigating 5GC and MEC of 5G SA mobile network. I would like to thank the excellent developers and all the contributors of Open5GS and UERANSIM.
