CORD Build 2017

According to the situation that current open source implementations of M-CORD are not complete, we decided to research a workable and open-source solution. We choose OpenAirInterface, which is an open source Rel 8/Rel-10 3GPP compliant reference implementation of BBU, UE, RRH and EPC that runs on general purpose computing platform (Intel/ARM), to act as an LTE service (EPC and eNB part). We want to execute OpenAirInterface under CORD platform, so we integrate OAI service into XOS. After that, users can access the web UI to create and run OpenAirInterface inside OpenStack. Finally, we can demo mobile devices access the internet via M-CORD OAI services. At the current time, we can let users initiate OAI services from XOS web UI, use mobile devices to connect to our remote radio unit which communicates to OAI EPC in M-CORD and browse the internet after mobile devices are authenticated. We have completed the OAI-as-a-Service in CORD 2.0, and now trying to migrate to CORD 4.0. We are going to transform and optimize the current R-CORD 4.0 into OAI M-CORD 4.0. Hope it can be a good practice of M-CORD use case.
