  • TDD and FDD configurations

  • Tested bandwidths: 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz

  • Transmission modes 1 (single antenna), 2 (transmit diversity), 3 (CCD) and 4 (closed-loop spatial multiplexing)

  • Manually configurable DL/UL carrier frequencies

  • Soft USIM supporting XOR/Milenage authentication

  • Hard USIM support via PC/SC

  • Snow3G and AES integrity/ciphering support

  • TUN virtual network kernel interface integration for Linux OS

  • Detailed log system with per-layer log levels and hex dumps

  • MAC and NAS layer wireshark packet captures

  • Command-line trace metrics

  • Detailed input configuration files

  • Evolved multimedia broadcast and multicast service (eMBMS)

  • Frequency-based ZF and MMSE equalizers

  • Highly optimized Turbo Decoder available in Intel SSE4.1/AVX2 (+150 Mbps)

  • Channel simulator for EPA, EVA, and ETU 3GPP channels

  • QoS support

  • 150 Mbps DL in 20 MHz MIMO TM3/TM4 or 2xCA configuration (195 Mbps with QAM256)

  • 75 Mbps DL in 20 MHz SISO configuration (98 Mbps with QAM256)

  • 36 Mbps DL in 10 MHz SISO configuration

  • Supports Ettus USRP B2x0/X3x0 families, BladeRF, LimeSDR

srsENB also has support for 5G NSA and SA features, you can read more about this in the advanced usage section of the srsENB documentation.

srsEPC

srsEPC is a lightweight implementation of a complete LTE core network (EPC). The srsEPC application runs as a single binary but provides the key EPC components of Home Subscriber Service (HSS), Mobility Management Entity (MME), Service Gateway (S-GW) and Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW).
