Installation

A. Install Control Plane Entities

1. Install the required packages

   sudo apt -y update
   sudo apt -y install mongodb wget git
   sudo systemctl start mongodb
   

2. Go installation

   • If another version of Go is installed
     • Please remove the previous Go version
       • sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
     • Install Go 1.12.9

       wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.12.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz
       sudo tar -C /usr/local -zxvf go1.12.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz
       

   • Clean installation
     • Install Go 1.12.9

       wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.12.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz
       sudo tar -C /usr/local -zxvf go1.12.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz
       mkdir -p ~/go/{bin,pkg,src}
       echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/go' >> ~/.bashrc
       echo 'export GOROOT=/usr/local/go' >> ~/.bashrc
       echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
       echo 'export GO111MODULE=off' >> ~/.bashrc
       source ~/.bashrc
       

3. Clone free5GC project in $GOPATH/src

   cd $GOPATH/src
   git clone https://bitbucket.org/free5GC/free5gc-stage-2.git free5gc
   

4. Run the script to install dependent packages

   cd $GOPATH/src/free5gc
   chmod +x ./install_env.sh```
   ./install_env.sh
   
   Please ignore error messages during the package dependencies installation process.
   

5. Extract the free5gc_libs.tar.gz to setup the environment for compiling

   cd $GOPATH/src/free5gc
   tar -C $GOPATH -zxvf free5gc_libs.tar.gz
   

6. Compile network function services in $GOPATH/src/free5gc, e.g. AMF:

   cd $GOPATH/src/free5gc
   go build -o bin/amf -x src/amf/amf.go
   

7. Run network function services, e.g. AMF:

   cd $GOPATH/src/free5gc
   ./bin/amf
   
   In step 3, the folder name should remain free5gc. Please do not modify it or the compilation would fail.
   

B. Install User Plane Entity (UPF)

1. Install the required packages

   sudo apt -y update
   sudo apt -y install git gcc cmake autoconf libtool pkg-config libmnl-dev libyaml-dev
   go get -u github.com/sirupsen/logrus
   

2. Please check Linux kernel version if it is 5.0.0-23-generic

   uname -r
   

   Get Linux kernel module 5G GTP-U

   git clone https://github.com/PrinzOwO/gtp5g.git
   cd gtp5g
   make
   sudo make install
   

3. Enter the UPF directory cd $GOPATH/src/free5gc/src/upf

4. Build from sources

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..
   make -j `nproc`
   

5. Run UPF library test

   (In directory: $GOPATH/src/free5gc/src/upf/build
   
   sudo ./bin/testgtpv1
   

6. Config is located at $GOPATH/src/free5gc/src/upf/build/config/upfcfg.yaml

C. Run Procedure Tests

Start Wireshark to capture any interface with pfcp||icmp||gtp filter and run the tests below to simulate the procedures:

cd $GOPATH/src/free5gc
chmod +x ./test.sh

a. TestRegistration

(In directory: $GOPATH/src/free5gc)
./test.sh TestRegistration

b. TestServiceRequest

./test.sh TestServiceRequest

c. TestXnHandover

./test.sh TestXnHandover

d. TestDeregistration

./test.sh TestDeregistration

e. TestPDUSessionReleaseRequest

./test.sh TestPDUSessionReleaseRequest

g. TestNon3GPP

bash
./test.sh TestNon3GPP

h. TestULCL

bash
./test_ulcl.sh -om 3 TestRegistration

Trouble Shooting

1. ERROR: [SCTP] Failed to connect given AMF N3IWF=NGAP

   This error occured when N3IWF was started before AMF finishing initialization. This error usually appears when you run the TestNon3GPP in the first time.

   Rerun the test should be fine. If it still not be solved, larger the sleeping time in line 110 of test.sh.

2. TestNon3GPP will modify the config/amfcfg.conf. So, if you had killed the TestNon3GPP test before it finished, you might need to copy config/amfcfg.conf.bak back to config/amfcfg.conf to let other tests pass.

   cp config/amfcfg.conf.bak config/amfcfg.conf

Appendix A: System Environment Cleaning

The below commands may be helpful for development purposes.

1. Remove POSIX message queues
   • ls /dev/mqueue/
   • rm /dev/mqueue/*
2. Remove gtp tunnels (using tools in libgtpnl)
   • cd ./src/upf/lib/libgtpnl-1.2.1/tools
   • ./gtp-tunnel list
3. Remove gtp devices (using tools in libgtpnl)
   • cd ./src/upf/lib/libgtpnl-1.2.1/tools
   • sudo ./gtp-link del {Dev-Name}

Appendix B: Program the SIM Card

Install packages:

sudo apt-get install pcscd pcsc-tools libccid python-dev swig python-setuptools python-pip libpcsclite-dev
sudo pip install pycrypto

Download PySIM

git clone git://git.osmocom.org/pysim.git

Change to pyscard folder and install

cd <pyscard-path>
sudo /usr/bin/python setup.py build_ext install

Verify your reader is ready

sudo pcsc_scan

Check whether your reader can read the SIM card

cd <pysim-path>
./pySim-read.py –p 0

Program your SIM card information

./pySim-prog.py -p 0 -x 208 -y 93 -t sysmoUSIM-SJS1 -i 208930000000003 --op=8e27b6af0e692e750f32667a3b14605d -k 8baf473f2f8fd09487cccbd7097c6862 -s 8988211000000088313 -a 23605945

You can get your SIM card from sysmocom. You also need a card reader to write your SIM card. You can get a card reader from here or use other similar devices.
