Introduce new data structures to track the average SNR and RSSI, and
that allow to dynamically modify the target SNR (per UE) as well as
continuously get TPC updates based on the average SNR. The target SNR is
per power control loop (which a future commit will extend to use for
PUCCH).
Concretely, it maintains an average of measured SNR and RSSI. It also
updates "tpc_in_flight", which tracks TPC changes that don't show up in
the average yet. For instance, imagine that the target SNR of 15 changes
to 20. Three successive TPC commands need to be sent (+3, +1, +1), but
it will take time to show up in the average SNR. To account for this,
tpc_in_flight is updated by the TPCs sent, and an average will make it
go down back to zero at the same pace as the average SNR approaches the
target SNR. The sum of average SNR and tpc_in_flight sums up to the
actual, current SNR, which approximates the target SNR.
The SNR is kept within -1<=targetSNR<=+2dB to avoid too many TPC
changes.
The current average SNR (sum of average SNR and tpc_in_flight) is used
to continuously get TPC updates, taking into account recent TPCs sent,
the difference to target SNR, and RSSI.
If there is DTX, tpc_in_flight is modified to artificially introduce TPC
commands which increase the currently used SNR of the UE. This is
temporary, as tpc_in_flight eventually will go back to zero. If the DTX
was due to sudden SNR drop (e.g., higher path loss), this will allow to
quickly adapt the UE's SNR to new conditions.
The periodical logs are extended to not only show the current SNR, but
also the difference from the target for better analysis.

- Remove multiple single top-level (# H1) headings per file
- Use (# H2 and ###### H6) sub-headings for consistency
- Remove any trailing # in the headings
- This ensures proper table of contents rendering in MkDocs.
- Also removed RUN_NR_multiple_BWPs.md as it is moved to MAC usage
- Give a line in between bullet points to reflect bullet points correctly
- Split long statement into bullet points for readability
- Format the document for proper rendering
- Fix table formatting
- Use standard TOC syntax in 5GNAS
Refactor DLSCH scheduler
Refactor the DLSCH post processor similarly to what has been done in
!3521 with the goal of saving an additional iteration through all UEs,
hopefully making the DLSCH scheduler faster.
It further includes changes to make working with and debugging multi-UE
operation easier:
- add some measurements in L1 (for total TX/RX time)
- a new option MACRLCs.[0].stats_max_ue to limit the number of UEs in
the periodic output (default: 8, 0=disable)
- avoid stack overflow in the MAC
- fix the writing of stats to nrMAC_stats.log and nrL1_stats.log when
the written output reduces by truncating the files
- avoid to schedule retransmission with 0 RBs.
The gNB will stop the periodical logging of UEs in MAC Info level after
a configurable number of UEs have been printed, by default 8.
Set it to 17 in some CI tests to ensure we still get all UEs for the
time being, as the CI might depend on this.
Fixes and updates for UL scheduling, notably DSUUU
Fix a number of problems that stem from !3521, notably regarding Msg3
scheduling, retransmissions in "UL-heavy" TDD scenarios, and BSR
handling. Modify a CI test to run a UL-heavy TDD scenario, and add
documentation for UL-heavy TDD scenarios.
Improve MAC docs for MCS and docker for BuildKit usage
See commits for details. The first one is for fixing an omission in
!3281, the second to clarify docker build usage.
Closes: #973
Previous commits removed min_grant_mcs and instead introduced
dl/ul_min_mcs as a more generic replacement.
Fixes: 96b0cae63e ("Drop 'min_grant_mcs' configuration parameter ")
Fixes: 699afafc6f ("Add support for 'dl_min_mcs' and 'ul_min_mcs'
configuration parameters")
The aggregation level search order for PDCCH candidates is modified:
- the search starts from desired_agg_level_index, which is a value from 0 to 4
proportial to pdcch_cl_adjust.
- pdcch_cl_adjust is a value between 0 and 1 that indicates PDCCH channel quality
by averaging HARQ DTX rate. A value of 0 means perfect channel, a value o 1 means
impaired channel.
RSSI threshold for PUSCH & PUCCH power control
To prevent ADC railing or "clipping" when the received power is too
large, introduce RSSI threshold parameters for PUSCH and PUCCH, which
are now configured in units of 0.1 dB. Here is how you can configure and
use these thresholds:
1. Configuration:
- Set the pusch_RSSI_Threshold and pucch_RSSI_Threshold parameters in
your configuration file (e.g., gnb.conf) (MACRLC section).
- These parameters define the maximum acceptable RSSI values for
PUSCH and PUCCH, respectively. The unit is either dBm or dBFS,
depending on the RSSI reporting configuration.
2. Usage:
- The nr_limit_tpc function will automatically adjust the Transmit
Power Control (TPC) commands based on the configured RSSI
thresholds.
- If the RSSI exceeds the threshold, the TPC command will be limited
to prevent further increase in power, thereby avoiding ADC
clipping.
- Introduced new configuration parameters `pusch_RSSI_Threshold` and `pucch_RSSI_Threshold`
(MACRLC section)
- Added `nr_limit_tpc` function in `gNB_scheduler_primitives.c` to limit TPC based on RSSI
threshold.
- Integrated `nr_limit_tpc` in PUCCH and PUSCH power control
Example Configuration
puxch_RSSI_Threshold takes value between -1280 and 0 and is mapped to range -128.0 dBm/dBFS
to 0.0 dBm/dBFS in 0.1 dB increments. Unit depends on RSSI reporting config.
pucch_RSSI_Threshold = -500; # Set the PUSCH RSSI threshold to -50.0dBm/-50dBFS
pucch_RSSI_Threshold = -600; # Set the PUCCH RSSI threshold to -60.0dBm/-60dBFS
