Therefore, two sections in the NR UE configuration file are used:

Multiple UEs run in one process, and since no RU sharing is implemented (see
below), each UE runs its own RF device, e.g., an RFsimulator connection.
The number of UE instances is controlled by `--num-ues N`. This creates N
independent UE protocol stacks (PHY, MAC, NAS). UE instance `i` reads its
credentials from the `uicc{i}` config section and is assigned `cells[i]` in
order. The config must therefore have at least N `uicc`, `cells`, and `RUs`
entries. Note that **all RUs defined in the `RUs` section are opened and
initialized regardless of `--num-ues`**; extra entries consume resources
without being used by any UE instance.
The 3. scenario is similar to 1., but instead of providing RF-Simulator parameters, actual SDR parameters have to be provided.

## Specific OAI modes
These modes are applicable when running both OAI UE and OAI gNB together.
### phy-test setup with OAI UE
The OAI UE can also be used in front of a OAI gNB without the support of eNB or EPC and circumventing random access. In this case both gNB and eNB need to be run with the `--phy-test` flag. At the gNB this flag does the following
