Updated SCTP reconnect timer from TIMER_ONE_SHOT to
TIMER_PERIODIC so gNB continuously retries AMF lookup every
30 seconds after disconnect.
Timer is now removed only when ngap_amf_associated_nb > 0,
AMF association is actually back.
Further unused arguments cleanup
More fixes for unused function arguments (see #1057),
add_compile_options(-Wunused-parameter) added in folders:
- nfapi
- openair2
- openair3
- USRP
- rfsimulator
Cleanup common_lib.h
This change reduces the number of dependecies of common_lib.h and simplifies
the task of implementing an external OAI radio library.
Remove a lot of unused code, defines, and config options
Remove unused header files and defines.
Slightly clean up gnb_config.c by removing all _IDX variables. Remove
these unused parameters:
- MACRLCs.[0].num_cc
- MACRLCs.[0].local_n_portc
- MACRLCs.[0].remove_n_portc
- MACRLCs.[0].remote_s_portc
- MACRLCs.[0].remote_s_portd
- L1s.[0].num_cc
- L1s.[0].local_n_portc
Extend UICC configuration parsing to provide: routing_indicator,
protection_scheme, home_network_public_key, and home_network_public_key_id.
Use the protection_scheme value to decide what SUCI Profile Scheme to
apply during SUCI generation. Add support for Profile Scheme A which
provides ECIES-based encryption using Curve25519 and X9.63 KDF as outlined
in TS 33.501 Section C.3.4.1 Profile A.
When a configuration file specifies an unsupported Profile Scheme,
the NAS layer triggers a fatal error. This occurs either because
Profile Scheme B is unimplemented or the build uses OpenSSL < 3.0,
which lacks Curve25519 and X9.63 KDF support, ensuring users are
informed of the incompatibility.

Introduce UE NAS Simulator
This MR introduces a simple standalone tester for 5G UE NAS signaling and NGAP
messages. It connects to the AMF to perform NGAP and NAS encoding/decoding and
validates the UE Registration and PDU Session Establishment processes without
the overhead of a full Radio Access Network (PHY/MAC/RLC).
The motivation for this tester is as follows,
- This tester is a lightweight, deterministic tool to test the UE NAS layer
directly.
- Developers can easily inject specific NAS messages depending on the use-case.
- Developers can validate custom NAS/NGAP messages without the need to implement
complete RRC/MAC etc procedures.
Start the 5G Core network to test the UE NAS simulator. The compiling and
testing procedure is described below.
To compile:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -GNinja && ninja nr-ue-nas-simulator-test
To run:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./tests/nr-ue-nas-simulator/nr-ue-nas-simulator-test -O ../tests/nr-ue-nas-simulator/test.conf
Remove OSD, some scripts, oaisim references
The README says:
It is just generating the XML file and it is placing it in
$(OPENAIR_TARGETS)/SIMU/EXAMPLE/OSD/WEBXML/ or http://localhost/xmlfile/
so that the oaisim could pars and run the simulation/emulation
oaisim does not exist anymore, and corresponding simulation cannot be done.
Also, it requires XAMPP and similar technologies, that I think nobody uses
in the context of OAI.
Remove also most references to oaisim.
Remove some scripts that are likely not used by anybody, or straight useless.
Extract MCC and MNC from the SIB1 PLMN identity and store them in the
UE NAS context to propogate them to NAS security procedures.
Previously, the Serving Network Name (SNN) used during authentication
was constructed from the IMSI, implicitly assuming the UE was attached
to its home network. In roaming scenarios, this produced an incorrect
SNN, causing authentication and key derivation failures.
The NAS key derivation functions (transferRES, derive_kausf, derive_kseaf)
now build the SNN using the MCC/MNC broadcast by the serving network in SIB1,
ensuring that authentication uses the correct serving PLMN during roaming.

fix: issue 911 - OAI gNB hangs when AMF connection goes down
Once the AMF is down, based on the AMF UE NGAP ID and RAN UE NGAP ID,
the UE associated with the AMF is found
All the contexts related to the UE are released and the timer is started
in the NGAP to look up for the SCTP association. The AMF-gNB reconnection
is made if an SCTP connection is found, also the registration of multiple
UE is triggered
These actions are based on the reference from 4.2.6 AN release Specs
TS 123 502 V16.7.0 (2021-01)
When the NG-AP signalling connection is lost due to (R)AN or AMF failure,
the AN release is performed locally by the AMF or the (R)AN as described
in the procedure flow below without using or relying on any of the signalling
shown between (R)AN and AMF. The AN release causes all UP connections of the UE
to be deactivated.
closes#911
- Extended fix to support multiple UEs instead of single UE
- Actions now trigger upon AMF reconnection
Per 3GPP TS 123 502 V16.7.0 (2021-01) Section 4.2.6 (AN Release):
When NG-AP signalling connection is lost due to (R)AN or AMF failure,
AN release is performed locally by AMF or (R)AN without relying on
signalling between (R)AN and AMF. This deactivates all UP connections.
The code previously checked that the supplied PDU sessions's type is
exactly what we requested. However, at least OAI 5GC will only give us
an IPv4 PDU session if we request IPv4v6 (so the check would fail).
Extend the validation to either check exact match, or, if IPv4v6
requested, that it is either IPv4 or IPv6.
NR Paging on CU
Implements the NR paging path on the CU:
- NGAP Paging is decoded and passed to RRC
- RRC builds F1AP Paging, and distributes it to DUs via F1 callback
Changes:
- Refactor and extend F1AP Paging encode/decode libraries
* add missing enc/dec/eq/cp functions
* add unit test
* IEs: CN UE 5G-S-TMSI, RAN UE I-RNTI; optional DRX/priority/origin)
- Refactor CU callback CU_send_Paging
- Refactor DU handler DU_handle_Paging
- Refactor old F1 callback for Paging indication, extend it and align
with existing F1 callbacks in stack
- Refactor and extend NGAP Paging encode/decode lib
* add missing enc/dec/eq/cp functions
* add unit test
* Fixes NGAP paging to accept Paging only on SCTP stream 0 per TS
38.412
- Includes supporting refactors (PDU session split, shared 5G-S-TMSI
helpers, NGAP/F1AP cleanups)
Testing
- NGAP and F1AP Paging lib unit tests (enc/dec)
- Stream-0 fix validated with Open5GS AMF
This MR does not address the DU changes besides the F1 handler. F1AP
Paging does not have an RRC container to pass the PCCH message to the
DU, and F1 DL RRC Message Transfer does not apply to PCCH. PCCH-Message
shall be built at DU per TS 38.331 §5.3.2, with padding as per §8.5 and
delivered as RLC SDU per §8.2. For each cell in Paging Cell List that
belongs to this DU, queue for MAC. MAC schedules at PF/PO per TS 38.304
§7.

Add a simple GTP unit test
Add a simple unit test for GTP that as of now tests the main
functionality, i.e., for a single UE, set up a bearer between two
endpoints and checking that traffic sending works. This is a start to
extend it further, e.g., with API changes, extensions to support new
functionality such as IPv6, and refactorings.
A number of supporting cleanup has been done as well.
For unit testing, allow to remove endpoints such that we could reuse a
port/IP combination.
The function does not take care of endpoints that are still "dangling",
it is the user's responsibility to remove all existing TEIDs.
Add a simple unit test that tests sending unidirectional traffic. So
far, it merely replicates what is already in nr-cuup-load-test, but it's
a single executable (so easier to handle), and could be more easily
extended to further tests (e.g., IPv6).
A couple of ideas for refactoring/improvements have been added in
comments in the test.
Paging messages are classified as non-UE-associated signalling per
3GPP TS 38.412 clause 7 (TL), which requires them to be sent on
stream 0 (or a reserved stream pair).
Paging message is received when UE is in RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE
state, as the RAN has no active UE context and paging targets the
UE by 5G-S-TMSI rather than RAN-UE-NGAP-ID.
The previous implementation incorrectly rejected paging messages
received on stream 0, causing paging failures when using Open5GS AMF.
Changes:
- Accept paging on stream 0 (non-UE-associated signalling)
- Reject paging on non-zero streams (UE-associated streams)
- Add documentation
Add F1AP Paging library and new message type to follow the existing F1AP
library pattern and to support multi-cell paging and both RAN UE (I-RNTI)
and CN UE (5G-S-TMSI) paging identities at the library level per TS 38.473.
* New library (f1ap_paging.c/h, f1ap_lib_includes.h, CMakeLists.txt)
- Implement encode/decode/copy/eq/free for F1AP Paging (procedure 9.2.6).
- Add ASN.1 includes for Paging, PagingIdentity, CN/RAN UE identities.
- Enables unit testing of Paging enc/dec in f1ap_lib_test.c.
* New types in f1ap_messages_types.h (existing f1ap_paging_ind_t unchanged)
- f1ap_paging_t: UE Identity Index, paging identity (union + type enum),
optional paging_drx, paging_priority, paging_origin, and paging_cells[].
- f1ap_paging_cell_item_t, f1ap_paging_identity_type_t, f1ap_paging_identity_t
for multi-cell list and RAN/CN identity discrimination.
- Paging Origin IE is optional per F1AP 8.7.1.2.
Tests: test_f1ap_paging() roundtrip and copy for CN UE (5G-S-TMSI) and
RAN UE (I-RNTI) cases, with optional IEs.
- Refactor ngap_paging_ind_t (openair2/COMMON/ngap_messages_types.h):
- optional paging_drx and paging_priority as pointers
- TAI list as tai_list[] and n_tai
- add optional IEs: Paging Origin, Paging Attempt Information,
UE Radio Capability for Paging.
- Introduce nr_tai_t, ngap_paging_attempt_info_t, ngap_paging_origin_t;
- generate paging enums via FOREACH macros.
- Add NGAP Paging encode/decode/eq/free in openair3/NGAP/ngap_gNB_paging.c
(encode_ng_paging, decode_ng_paging, eq_ng_paging, free_ng_paging).
- Replace inline Paging decode in ngap_gNB_handle_paging() with
decode_ng_paging() and add error handling; add eq_ngap_plmn() in
ngap_common.
- Update rrc_gNB_NGAP.c to use tai_list/n_tai and optional paging_drx
when forwarding paging to F1AP.
- Add ASN.1 includes for Paging in ngap_msg_includes.h; register
ngap_gNB_paging.c in root CMakeLists.txt.
- Add NGAP unit test (openair3/NGAP/tests/ngap_lib_test.c): encode/decode
roundtrip for Paging; tests subdirectory and executable under
ENABLE_TESTS in openair3/NGAP/CMakeLists.txt.
ngap_common.h is for common IEs enc/dec functions, utilities
should go into a separate file. Changes in this commit:
* Add ngap_utils.h (utilities)
* Move helper macros (NGAP_ERROR, NGAP_DEBUG, NGAP_FIND_PROTOCOLIE_BY_ID, etc.) to ngap_utils.h
* Move equality check macros (_NGAP_EQ_CHECK_*) to ngap_utils.h
* Clean up includes
This change is preparatory to the introduction the paging lib with unit
tests, with the goal of reducing the inter-dependency between concurrent
NGAP libs.
TO_ENUM/TO_TEXT are already used in NAS, and can be adopted in NGAP.
To avoid duplication, the following changes are introduced:
* Move text_info_t, TO_ENUM, TO_TEXT to common/utils/utils.h
* Include utils.h include to ngap_messages_types.h, fgs_nas_utils.h, and fgmm_lib.h
* RRC establishment cause: refactor to FOREACH_RRC_ESTABLISHMENT_CAUSE macro
* Cause Group: refactor to FOREACH_CAUSE_GROUP macro
* Radio Network Cause: refactor to FOREACH_CAUSE_RADIO_NETWORK macro
* Protocol Cause: refactor to FOREACH_CAUSE_PROTOCOL macro
This change is preparatory to the introduction the paging lib with unit
tests, with the goal of reducing the inter-dependency between concurrent
NGAP libs.
