Hi all, Is there anyone who used OpenBTS-UMTS [http://openbts.org/w/index.php/OpenBTS-UMTS](http://openbts.org/w/index.php/OpenBTS-UMTS) with USRPs? I want to know is there possible to run this openBTS on USRP with UHD? And if it is, what is the configuration process? Thanks in advance, Mostafa ---

Have you tried the OpenBTS mailing lists? OpenBTS is _NOT_ a Gnu Radio application, although it uses the same hardware as some Gnu Radio apps, it’s not a Gnu Radio app itself.

No, I didn’t try OpenBTS mailing list, but I think this is possible to run the BTS over USRPs with some specific UHD configuration. Thank you for your hint. OpenBTS isn’t even a GNURadio app. Did you try it?

Hello Mostafa A.: OpenBTS and OpenBTS-UMTS do not use the GNU Radio framework at all, and so you don’t need to install GNU Radio in order to use them. To use OpenBTS and OpenBTS-UMTS with USRP radios, you will need to install UHD [1], which you should install before installing OpenBTS and OpenBTS-UMTS. However, I don’t think there is an OpenBTS-UMTS transceiver process for USRP radios yet, and you can’t substitute the OpenBTS transceiver.

I will ask the opentBTS-UMTS mailing list. I hop to find a wag y to run the BTS on a USRP.
