Open Air Interface - Adaptability perspective

Abstract

This paper presents the working of Open Air Interface, advantages and limitations of an Open Air Interface. Open Air Interface is an outcome of experimental research by the Mobile Communications Department at EURECOM. The primary aim of the Open Air Interface technology is to improve the emerging industrial air interface standards such as LTE and 5G regarding spectral, algorithmic and protocol efficiency. In this OAI development the operators can access the software and get the hardware to a large scale networks making it open source and experimenting on original ideas in probable radio propagation and applications. This paper presents the working of OpenAirInterface, advantages and limitations of an Open Air Interface. It also presents the support it is giving to the network world and how it can be improvised.
