Desarrollo de prácticas de laboratorio para la implementación de la segunda fase de una estación base de redes de cuarta generación utilizando radio definido por software

Abstract

The Faculty of Telecommunications Engineering of the Santo Tomás University seeks through its TELESOFT research hotbed to generate knowledge capable of modeling and designing telecommunications systems by means of software defined radio (SDR). The field of software-defined radio has allowed the development of various high-level technologies, which is why this tool has become very important for the field of education since it provides elements necessary to compose the currently known telecommunications systems, this technology aims to occupy valuable space for research and development of systems by significantly reducing costs and implementation times. This document will present the development of guides for the implementation of an LTE environment using OpenLTE software, which is a tool that builds the Envolved Packet Core (EPC) and the eNodeB through software-defined radio. To start the implementation, a preliminary investigation had to be made on LTE (Long Term Evolution) as its definition and its way of working in current telecommunications systems, subsequently its architecture and each of its components identifying each function. Subsequently, an investigation was carried out to emphasize the importance of software defined radio in implementations related to mobile communications and it can be observed that this tool plays a fundamental role in the development of research at an educational level. Once the previous investigations had been carried out, the implementation was carried out under the objective of this document, having clear each of the functions of LTE with SDR.
