NG-RAN F1AP C++ Sample Code Using OSS ASN.1 Tools


This sample is provided as part of the OSS ASN.1 Tools trial and commercial shipments. The source code and related files are listed below for reference.

The sample demonstrates how to use the OSS ASN.1 Tools to process messages for the 3GPP 5G F1AP standard (TS 38.473 version 19.0.0).

It runs on Linux on x86-64 as an example and illustrates how to decode, inspect, and create PER-encoded 5G F1AP messages using the OSS ASN.1 Tools API.

The sample reads F1AP messages from .per files, decodes and prints them, and creates and encodes a response message.

A makefile is included for building and running the test program using the OSS ASN.1/C++ runtime.

To explore more samples (LTE RRC, 5G RRC, S1AP, X2AP, E1AP), visit the main Sample Code page.

Overview

This sample shows how to:

  • Initialize the OSS ASN.1/C++ runtime for the 5G F1AP schema.
  • Read .per files that contain valid PER-encoded 5G F1AP messages.
  • Decode and print 5G F1AP messages.
  • Create and encode a response message.
  • Build and run the sample test program with a makefile on Linux.

Files in This Sample

The files listed below are included in the OSS ASN.1 Tools trial and commercial shipments and are used by this sample program:

File Description
README.TXT Instructions and sample overview.
*.asn ASN.1 source files that describe the 3GPP NG-RAN F1AP protocol (TS 38.473) used with this program example.
F1AP-PDU_Reset.per Valid PER-encoded F1AP message. It should pass testing.
tf1ap.cpp Simple C++ program that shows how to work with NG-RAN F1AP protocol data. It reads input messages from files, decodes and prints them, and creates and encodes a response message.
makefile Makefile that builds and runs the sample test.
makefile.rtoed Makefile that builds and runs the sample test using RTOED.
gui/ ASN.1 Studio project for viewing/compiling schema and generating sample data.

Build and Run Instructions

(Installation instructions for the OSS ASN.1 Tools are included in all trial and commercial shipments.)

To build and run this sample, install a trial or licensed version of the OSS ASN.1 Tools for C++.

1. Generate C++ source and header files (runtime-only shipments)

If your shipment is runtime-only, generate the .cpp and .h files by running:

make cross

This creates a samples/cross directory with:

  • the required .asn files
  • scripts to run the OSS ASN.1/C++ compiler (asn1cpl.sh or asn1cpl.bat)
2. Build and run the sample
make

This command compiles the sample C++ source, links it with the OSS ASN.1 static library, and executes the test. To use another type of library in the shipment (such as a shared library), set the A makefile variable, for example:

make A=so
3. Clean up generated files
make clean
4. Other Platforms

Note: The C++ source code in this sample is platform-independent. Linux commands are shown as an example, but equivalent samples and build instructions are available for Windows, macOS, and other platforms. For help with platform-specific instructions, please contact OSS Support.

Code Listing: tf1ap.cpp

The following listing shows the main C++ source file for this sample test program, tf1ap.cpp. It demonstrates how to read PER-encoded 5G F1AP messages from files, decode and print them, and create and encode a response message using the OSS ASN.1 Tools API.
