Lab: Build gNB with CU/DU/RU split
Assemble a Disaggregated gNB
In this lab you will build a complete gNB architecture by placing CU-CP, CU-UP, DU, and RU components onto a network canvas and wiring them together with the correct interfaces. You must connect CU-CP to CU-UP with E1, CU-CP to DU with F1-C, CU-UP to DU with F1-U, and DU to RU with eCPRI fronthaul. Finally connect the gNB to the 5G Core by linking CU-CP to the AMF via N2 and CU-UP to the UPF via N3. Real deployments support multiple DUs per CU and multiple RUs per DU.
