OpenAirInterface（TM）（OAI）是在通用x86计算硬件和现成（COTS）软件定义无线电（SDR）卡（如通用软件无线电外设（USRP））上实现第三代合作伙伴计划（3GPP）技术的开源项目。它使今天部署和运营4G长期演进（LTE）网络以及未来以非常低的成本部署和运营5G新无线电（NR）网络成为可能。此外，开源代码可以适应不同的用例和部署，并可以实现新的功能，使其成为工业和学术研究的理想平台。OAI软件联盟（OSA）是一个非盈利的联盟，致力于培养工业和研究贡献者。它还开发了OAI公共许可证，这是一个开源许可证，允许贡献者实现自己的专利技术，而不必放弃他们的知识产权。这一新条款与3GPP中的公平、合理和非歧视（FRAND）条款一致。本文介绍了当前OAI的发展现状，OAI社区和开发过程，以及OAI公共许可证及其在学术界和工业界的使用情况。
OpenAirInterface (TM) (OAI) is an open-source project that implements the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) technology on general purpose x86 computing hardware and Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Software Defined Radio (SDR) cards like the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). It makes it possible to deploy and operate a 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network today and 5G New Radio (NR) networks in the future at a very low cost. Moreover, the open-source code can be adapted to different use cases and deployment and new functionality can be implemented, making it an ideal platform for both industrial and academic research. The OAI Software Alliance (OSA) is a non-profit consortium fostering a community of industrial as well as research contributors. It also developed the OAI public license which is an open source license that allows contributors to implement their own patented technology without having to relinquish their intellectual property rights. This new clause is in agreement with the Fair, Reasonable And Non-Discriminatory (FRAND) clause found in 3GPP. This paper describes the current OAI state-of-the-art of the development, the OAI community and development process, as well as the OAI public license and its usage by academia and industry.
