Quite contrary to the name of the repository, this repository contains docker files to deploy an Over-The-Air (OTA) or RF simulated 4G/5G network using following projects:
- Core Network (4G/5G) - open5gs - https://github.com/open5gs/open5gs
- IMS (Only 4G supported i.e. VoLTE) - kamailio
- IMS HSS - https://github.com/nickvsnetworking/pyhss
- Osmocom HLR - https://github.com/osmocom/osmo-hlr
- Osmocom MSC - https://github.com/osmocom/osmo-msc
- srsRAN (4G/5G) - https://github.com/srsran/srsRAN
- UERANSIM (5G) - https://github.com/aligungr/UERANSIM
Docker host machine
- Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04
Over-The-Air setups:
- srsRAN (eNB/gNB) using Ettus USRP B210
- srsRAN eNB using LimeSDR Mini v1.3
- srsRAN eNB using LimeSDR-USB
RF simulated setups:
- srsRAN (gNB + UE) simulation over ZMQ
- UERANSIM (gNB + UE) simulator
- Mandatory requirements:
- docker-ce - Version 22.0.5 or above
- docker compose - Version 2.14 or above

- Goto http://<DOCKER_HOST_IP>:8080/docs/
- Select apn -> Create new APN -> Press on Try it out. Then, in payload section use the below JSON and then press Execute
{ "apn": "internet", "apn_ambr_dl": 0, "apn_ambr_ul": 0 } Take note of apn_id specified in Response body under Server response for internet APN
Repeat creation step for following payload
{ "apn": "ims", "apn_ambr_dl": 0, "apn_ambr_ul": 0 } Take note of apn_id specified in Response body under Server response for ims APN
Execute this step of APN creation only once

- default_apn is the ID of the internet APN created in the previous steps
- apn_list is the comma separated list of APN IDs allowed for the UE i.e. APN ID for internet and ims APN created in the previous steps
Replace imsi and msisdn as per your programmed SIM
- Finally, select ims_subscriber -> Create new IMS SUBSCRIBER -> Press on Try it out. Then, in payload section use the below example JSON to fill in imsi, msisdn, msisdn_list, scscf_peer, scscf_realm and scscf for your SIM/deployment and then press Execute
{ "imsi": "001010123456790", "msisdn": "9076543210", "sh_profile": "string", "scscf_peer": "scscf.ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org", "msisdn_list": "[9076543210]", "ifc_path": "default_ifc.xml", "scscf": "sip:scscf.ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org:6060", "scscf_realm": "ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org" } Replace imsi, msisdn and msisdn_list as per your programmed SIM
