Functional verification and performance testing for OpenAirinterface (OAI) eNodeB

In this paper we develop and build an open air interface(OAI) eNodeB test platform for system developers to implement the network function verification and system performance evaluation for LTE network. In this test platform it also includes commercially available instruments such as EXFO EPC Simulator, Cobham TM UE Emulator and Cobham Data Generator to make this test platform performing the basic LTE network functions. The performances of this developed OAIeNodeB platform have been compared with the commercial LTE small cell eNodeB system, which is considered as the bench mark system based on Gemteck eNodeB, for proposed system parameters and various test cases .
