The fifth-generation new radio (5G NR) technology is expected to provide precise and reliable positioning capabilities along with high data rates. The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has started introducing positioning techniques from Release-16 based on time, angle, and signal strength using reference signals. However, validating these techniques with experimental prototypes is crucial before successful real-world deployment. This work provides useful tools and implementation details that are required in performing 5G positioning experiments with OpenAirInterface (OAI). As an example use case, we present an round trip time (RTT) estimation test-bed based on OAI and discusses the real-word experiment and measurement process.
