Multiple PCIs with same gNB

[mrahman2-vt]

How to run multiple cells with same gNB like 3 sectors of a gNB?

Hi @mrahman2-vt, may I ask you why do you need three PCIs?

The configurations provided in here are sufficient to connect multiple phones. You just need to select the one that matches your SDR.

Hope this can help,

I would like to connect multiple phones simultaneously, that's why need to have 3 different PCIs for 3 phones. Seems like I don't have access to that link, is it restricted? or does it still works?

My bad, there was a problem with the link. Here is the correct one.

Hey @mrahman2-vt - if you have a single cell you can connect more than just one UE/phone to that cell without any issues. Multiple PCIs are used if you want to server multiple cells/sectors.

@mrahman2-vt you can see some examples of gNB yaml file with multiple PCIs in the gNB handover section, but you don't need it for connecting multiple UEs.

What do you mean by "none of them work"? They cannot even connect? Did you look at the AMF logs?
