Dear Forum members,
I am trying to run an OAI 5G UE Simulator using USRP B210. The gNB
configuration that is planned to be used is DL 2x2 MIMO mode and 20
MHz system bandwidth. Due to this I am trying to use benchmark_rate
application to see if my UE setup is working fine
My understanding is that to support 2x2 MIMO with a bandwidth of 20
MHz, I will need 2 TX and 2 RX channels @ sampling rate of 30.72 msps.
When I run a benchmark_rate test with this configuration it is
consistently failing. Single channel and reduced sampling rate tests
with dual channel are passing
Request if someone can help troubleshoot this issue or point me in the
right direction to resolve this issue
*// Dual channel (required for 2x2 MIMO), TX and RX rate test @ 30.72
msps *
benchmark_rate --tx_rate 30.72e6 --rx_rate 30.72e6 --rx_channels "0,1"
--tx_channels "0,1" --duration 100 => Fails with lot of overflows
(logs below)
*// Single channel (for 1x1 SISO), TX and RX rate test @ 30.72 msps *
benchmark_rate --tx_rate 30.72e6 --rx_rate 30.72e6 --rx_channels "0"
--tx_channels "0" --duration 100 => PASS w/o any overflow
*// Dual channel (required for 2x2 MIMO), RX rate test @ 30.72 msps
and TX rate test @ 15.36 msps => reduced TX rate to see if it is working*
benchmark_rate --tx_rate 15.36e6 --rx_rate 30.72e6 --rx_channels "0,1"
--tx_channels "0,1" --duration 100 => PASS
NOTE: As mentioned in Ettus documentation, external power supply is
provided for 2x2 configuration

You'll likely want to look at adding "num_recv_frames=256" and
"num_send_frames=256" to your device arguments at
higher rates.
