srsLTE-emane is a derivative project of srsLTE. In conjunction with the EMANE LTE Model, srsLTE-emane enables emulating an LTE network in EMANE on a laptop, desktop or other dedicated computer resources. Software Defined Radio (SDR) hardware is not required.
The srsLTE applications, srsenb
, srsue
, srsepc
and srsmbms
, are adapted to send RF traffic through
the EMANE emulation environment. The EMANE version of the applications are renamed srsenb-emane
, srsue-emane
,
srsepc-emane
and srsepc-emane
. srsenb-emane
and srsue-emane
contain an embedded EMANE instance
to replace lower levels of the LTE radio stack required to emulate the over the air communication effects. The new applications are also instrumented for data extraction using
OpenStatistic. Internal statistics can be queried manually
via the ostatistic
application, or collected automatically using
OpenTestPoint and the
OpenTestPoint LTE Probe.
srsLTE-emane is released under the AGPLv3 license. The current stable version is 19.09, the first release based on srsLTE 19.09

EMANE LTE Model contains a demonstration for running a small network with two UEs and one ENB.
Each of the emane version srsLTE applications take an input configuration file, identical to the one used by the regular srsLTE applications, with the following additional parameters.
[runtime]
daemonize = 1 # 0 - foreground, 1 - run as daemon
[mhal]
#statistic_service_endpoint=0.0.0.0:47100
#emane_configfile=emanelte.xml
The new runtime
configuration section contains a daemonize
parameter
that controls whether the application runs in the foreground or as a daemon.
The new mhal
section contains a statistic_service_endpoint
parameter to set the OpenStatistic query address and port (all
applications), and the emane_configfile
parameter takes the
name of the the configuration file fed to the embedded EMANE instance
(srsenb-emane
and srsue-emane
only). Default values shown.
