Add automated FHI72 4x4 nightly testing
Add configuration files (conf, YAML, XML) for a new pipeline targeting
nightly high-throughput testing with FHI7.2 RUs. This pipeline is
designed to perform daily performance and stability testing using
either:
- the integration branch (to detect regressions in high-throughput
scenarios), or
- the develop branch (to collect up-to-date performance
metrics and observe long-term stability trends)
Details:
- testing with F1 split: DU runs on stonechat, CU runs on OC
- 4x4 MIMO, 4 DL layers layers with VVDN, LiteON, Metanoia, Bennetel550
and Benetel650 FHI7.2 RUs
- T2 card for LDPC processing
- TDD: DDDSU (special: DDDDDDDDGGGGUU) / DDDSU (special: DDDDDDGGGGUUUU)
for Benetel configrations

UP3 development UE is used since no dedicated CI UE is available for outdoor
testing. CN with PLMN 20899 can be deployed locally on demand, however for
now always-on CN is used (AMF IP address 172.21.6.5).
The gNB is currently configured with pdsch_AntennaPorts_N1 = 2 instead
of 4, as the proper 8x8 antenna configuration triggers an assertion in
polar procedures (see issue 1067). This will be corrected once the assertion
is resolved.

Support for aperiodic SRS at gNB
Add support for aperiodic SRS, which currently, if activated, is
hardcoded to be periodically scheduled every 160 TTIs. The configuration
file has been changed, and instead of
do_SRS = 0/1
is now
do_SRS = "none"/"periodic"/"aperiodic"

Fixes for multiplexing pattern 3 operations in FR2
The standard (section 13 of 38.213) defines 3 SSB and CORESET 0
multiplexing patterns, which differ based on how the two channels are
respectively positioned in time and frequency. For MUX pattern 3, SSB
and CORESET 0 are transmitted in the same slot/symbols but on different
frequencies. With CORESET 0 being directly above or below in frequency
of SSBs, this means it does not start from symbol 0. This configuration
is important for more than 8 SSBs (FR2) to accommodate SIB1 in the
available DL slots (SIB1 in the same slot as its relative SSB), but it
is impractical for anything else. So for any other channel except SSB,
it is necessary to use a different common CORESET than CSET0 (namely
commonControlResourceSet).
This MR attempts to fix an issue in case the CORSET being smaller than
48 PRBs, triggering 2 symbol CORESET configuration, but the BWP being
larger than 48 PRBs so not taking into account the 2 symbol CORESET when
configuring other channels, e.g. PDSCH.

move vrtsim channel and per-UE param configuration from CLI flags to config file
Add vrtsim channel and per-UE parameter configuration to the gNB config

a vrtsim: section. The gNB can be started with simply:

Expand the 25PRB RFSim CI scenario to validate two PDU sessions with
PCF-driven QoS rules and deterministic per-flow traffic ports. Update
iperf execution to use `-B`/`-p` from test args.
Changes:
- Update `container_5g_rfsim_u0_25prb.xml` to add dual-session
validation steps, routing setup, and multi-flow UDP iperf
for UL/DL with explicit bind/port arguments.
- Change `cls_oaicitest.py` to parse bind/port from
`iperf_args`, and return a clear error when the iperf client exits non-zero.
- Update `nrue.uicc.2pdu.conf` to configure
session 2 on `openairinterface` with distinct `nssai_sd` values.
- Extend `5g_rfsimulator/mini_nonrf_config.yaml`
with PCF endpoints, dual slices, dual DNN entries, and PCF policy paths,
and disable local PCC rules in SMF.
- Update `5g_rfsimulator_u0_25prb/docker-compose.yaml`
to add the `oai-pcf` service, mount policy directories, and add ext-dn
route for the second UE subnet.
- Add PCF policy data files for this scenario, in :
`policies/policy_decisions/policy_decision.yaml`
`policies/pcc_rules/pcc_rules.yaml`
`policies/qos_data/qos_data.yaml`

- Extend both neighbour entries with per-cell offsets

Adjust target SNR values and introduce RSSI thresholds in the VNF configuration
files to prevent UL saturation. These changes improve uplink stability and
performance for tests with Aerial and WNC RU.
Fix Delta MCS mode, reimplement UL power control
This change set fixes the "delta-MCS" mode, and reimplements the UL power
control loops at gNB, i.e., for PUSCH and PUCCH. It further adds new T traces
to log PUSCH/PUCCH power infrmation, and cleans up code.
The "delta-MCS" mode in OAI refers to configuring a UE with deltaMCS in the
PUSCH-PowerControl IE (see TS 38.331). In this mode, the UE adjusts the PUSCH
power for transmissions to take into account for MCS (see TS 38.213 Sec. 7.1).
In other words, the target SNR can be set to a somewhat low value, and the UE
will still use the right power for UL transmissions. Note that the spec only
foresees this adjustment of UL power when using one layer. In contrast, in the
"normal" mode, the gNB sends TPC commands to keep a UE at a fixed target SNR
(default: 20dB), regardless of the MCS or number of layers. Future work is
planned to completely remove this fixed target SNR, which is not done in this
MR yet.
Further, there is a new power control loop implementation. Prior to this MR, on
each UL transmissions, the gNB uses the SNR to decide about TPC sent to a UE in
the next transmissions. The new implementation relies on averaging the SNR, and
a "TPC in flight" average to account for the slow reaction of the average SNR.
The sum of both quantities is the current SNR that is used by the UE. See the
commit messages or documentation for more information.
Further cleanup to group data (e.g., power control configuration, refactoring of
code to save space, ...) is done. Two new T traces GNB_MAC_PUSCH_POWER_CONTROL
and GNB_MAC_PUCCH_POWER_CONTROL are added; documentation exists to explain how
to graphically plot corresponding graphs.
Do not limit DL power, because it is not done in the other pipelines
either. Set the UL target power high, as this increases the achievable
throughput high (PUCCH can be normal). Finally, increase BLER thresholds
to improve the MCS a bit.
