Improve RA logs
Modify existing LOG entries to include preamble index, timing advance and
estimated distance from the gNB. This makes mapping RA attempts to
physical/simulated UEs easier via sent/received preamble index or physical
distance from the gNB in scenarios with >1 UE.
FHI72: FDD support
- harmonize DL/UL PRB mapping in one get_xran_prb_map() function with support
of mixed slot and duplex mode
- do not assume TDD by default
Repair nFAPI in 5G
Add 5G nFAPI in OAI/Make it it work.
Many commits in this branch are basically bug fixes of things that don't work
properly, such as
- check for correct conditions (e.g. instance numbers in the RAN context)
- remove artificial limitation (e.g. only one PUCCH per TDD period in the PNF)
- improve performance (reduce big mallocs, make some static buffers such as a
global ring buffer for nFAPI messages in the PNF)
- fix bugs in nFAPI (e.g., increase maximum message size to ~64kB instead of
1500 bytes, because the latter is way too small for many TX_data.requests in
5G, and it will delay message arrival unduly)
- fix bugs in message enc/dec (e.g., handle FDD in config.request)
- adjust the L1 such that the condition "we run monolithic" is not necessery
(e.g., some message numbers in nFAPI struct where reset in MAC, instead of
L1, and this breaks when running the PNF)
There are instructions that explain how to set it up. Two CI tests have been
added, one with COTS UE and MIMO in DL+UL in TDD numerology 1 (30kHz), and a
second test with FDD mu=0 (15kHZ) in RFsimulator.
These were some old to-dos that have been addressed.
- test with COTS UE - 4x4 pipeline works good in DL, UL now also work
- test in RFsim
- make PNF status message
- make FDD in u0 work
This function packs P7 messages. At least RX_data.indication messages
might be much bigger than the global buffer that is used here. Allocate
the buffer on the stack, and make it bigger. Do not use the global
buffer, it's simply not necessary; increasing the global tx buffer size
might have negative effects elsewhere in the code.
That change might make the function reentrant. The mutex seems to only
guards the codec config. However, leave it to not introduce any
regressions as of now.
E1 Setup enc/dec library and unit test
This MR is adding a library for E1 Setup enc/dec functions:
- E1 CU-UP Setup Request
- E1 CU-UP Setup Response
- E1 Setup Failure
and relevant unit tests
F1AP IDs: Add update, fix concurrency bug
I suspect a concurrency bug: For instance, during reestablishment, the
CU needs to update the DU UE ID under which the UE is identified in the
DU. Previously, the CU would remove, then add the DU UE ID info. At the
same time, the PDCP thread might look up the information. This can lead
to asserts. Modify the code to do the update under (one) lock.
Also, refactor some code.
Similar to the parent commit, make the numerology in the VNF
configurable. Unlike for the PNF change, the VNF frame/slot info is in a
per-PNF connection structure to which the "oai_integration" code has no
access. So we need to hack the nfapi_vnf_p7_add_pnf() function signature
to take the numerology, to be able to save this on a per-PNF basis.
The fact that we store this on a per-PNF basis is not strictly required,
as the VNF cannot handle multiple numerologies as of now, either.
However, we might want to extend this in the future, so it seems prudent
to store this on a per-PNF basis, so that we could start handling
multiple numerologies at the L2 without the need to change the L1 or
nFAPI code itself.
Also, the numerology is not needed except for some code that deals with
timing over nFAPI. As of now, we don't use this code (nFAPI gets a
trigger every slot, as per the VNF request, see an earlier commit in
this series), but also here, let's not make the future more complicated
by storing the numerology for each PNF now (this could always be reverted).
For 4G, put numerology 0 (15kHZ SCS), which is the SCS that LTE uses.
Fill in the dynamically received numerology, and make the numerology at
the PNF configurable, following the changes in the parent commit.
The change for the reading is somewhat of a hack, because nFAPI, as of
now, does not really foresee to store the numerology, so we fill the
numerology during the start request, when the numerlogy has been
received in the config request, but at that time, the structure for the
time information (frame/slot) does not exist yet.
At both the PNF and the VNF, introduce a separate numerology field, and
pass the numerology when converting time information using macros from
nfapi_interface.h. The actually numerology is still hardcoded to 1 (as it
was before), but the follow-up commits will put a suitable numerology.
In both cases, but the numerology next to the frame/slot information.
Similar as the parent comment, remove time macros. In this particular
case, we can just pass the exact frame/slot information, instead of
squeezing it in a single integer.
The next commits will modify the time macros used in the 5G nFAPI code
to handle different numerologies. As a preparation, remove all the
usages of these macros where they really don't matter (e.g., don't
convert if we don't need to).
the L1 needs both a PDU (in TX_data.req) as well instructions for
the actual transmission (in DL_TTI.req) to encode a PDSCH message. In
nFAPI, it can happen that a DL_TTI.request message has been received
(configuring the PDSCH transmission), without the TX_data.request having
reached the PNF. The L1 assumes to have the PDU.
To avoid problems, ensure that only the pair of DL_TTI.req/TX_data.req
is delivered. Otherwise, drop either message.
nFAPI has a mechanism to segment messages that are too big for transport
over a given medium (see e.g. SCF 225, section 2.3.2).
The maximum segment size of 10000 makes that for larger payloads, e.g.
TX_data.request, many small segments are to be sent. This can create or
increase delays on the transport. On the other hand, the currently only
available transport mechanism, UDP, allows to transport packets of up to
almost 65535 bytes. Correspondingly, increase the maximum segment size
so that less segments are to be created, and potentially, less delay is
to be incurred. # Please enter the commit message for your changes.

Avoid delays in tx_data.request handling by avoiding big malloc()s and
copy operations. Reimplement function to (1) peek the frame/slot
numbers, (2) decide on buffer, and (3) unpack directly into
pre-allocated memory.

The next commits refactor the rx handling of messages in the PNF. To
efficiently handle them, provide a "peek()" function that gives us the
frame/slot for which a message is destined. This allows to decide if a
message is on time and select a destination buffer, before unpacking it
completely, avoiding copies.
The time that a message between PNF/VNF to arrive depends mostly on the
transport. To allow for some delays, there is a slot_ahead time, during
which the VNF is allowed to schedule and send instructions to the PNF.
This can be multiple slots; the 1ms hitherto given might typically too
short. Increase to 10ms, to encompass a wider range of slot_ahead times.
Make the corresponding log message of when old (stale) message are
removed a bit clearer with respect to times.
This is the first commit in which nFAPI works. Follow-up commits improve
performance.
The usage of this flag in the L1 is simply wrong: either, the NFAPI mode
runs L1, or not. Correspondingly, add an assert to check this invariant.
In the NR_IF_module, the correct check to do is for VNF (implying no L1,
or "emulation of L1" [which is not true]), in which case we use
queues.
The L1 receives a pointer to the L1 payload to use for PDSCH generation.
This would overwrite an existing pre-allocated pointer. Remove this
preallocation. Instead, allocate it in the simulator (the only place
that actively uses this buffer allocation; in nr-softmodem, it's lost by
assigning a pointer). Allocate with an extra byte, because the payload
(in bits) might not be a multiple of 8 bits/1 byte, so the CRC is in the
last 3 bytes.
Also, improve the log with frame/slot information if the PDSCH payload
pointer is NULL.
The function now utilizes simpler variable names and logic to determine
if a given NR P7 request falls within the timing window.
The logic for determining if a request is within the timing window is as follows:
- The function calculates the absolute difference between the current
and received SFN slots, taking into account the possibility of
wraparound.
- If the absolute difference is greater than half of the maximum SFN
slot value, it subtracts this difference from the maximum SFN slot
value to get the actual difference.
- The function then checks if this difference is less than or equal to
the specified timing window. If it is, the request is considered to be
within the window.
Additionally, the commit updates the function signature to return a
boolean value for better readability and consistency.
Changes made:
- Simplified variable names for readability
- Improved logic for handling wraparound scenarios
- Updated function signature to return a boolean value

Since commit defc97ec16 ("Msg2 and Msg3 at gNB: check allocation before
committing to Msg2"), the scheduler calculate Msg2/Msg3 frame/slot
before allocation of Msg2, and not when receiving Msg1. It also respects
the RA response window correctly.
Correspondingly, we don't need to calculate here if the RACH.indication
is within the time window. The scheduler will do this.
If VNF and PNF are deployed through different processes, it's crucial to
maintain synchronization and ensure smooth operation. This commit
addresses the need to keep the VNF slot ahead of 2 (as required for
network deployment), while ensuring that PNFs wait appropriately to
avoid overtaking the slot. Specifically, this involves measuring slot
duration and implementing a wait mechanism to ensure that PNFs do not
exceed a slot duration of 300 microseconds. This ensures proper smooth
operation, especially in the case of RFsim.
Reset the counters. In monolithic, this happens in the scheduler; in the
PNF, without this change, it would trigger PDCCH again.

Refactor pnf_phy_ul_dci_req(), pnf_phy_dl_tti_req(),
pnf_phy_tx_data_req(), pnf_phy_ul_tti_req(), to use L1 functions to
"load" L1 jobs to be executed, via L1 functions.
In monolithic, the sched_response mechanism ensures that FAPI messages
for one slot are not overwritten by scheduler instructions for the
following slots (i.e., it is like a memory allocation pool).
The allocation happens in nr_schedule_response(), not used by the PNF.
Hence, only deallocate when in monolithic.
The PNF uses a big ring buffer over all slots in a frame to ensure the
same.
This function applied an sf_ahead, bigger than the actual slot
indication message sending (so a message could NEVER arrive on time!).
Reduce to zero, because this is when it should arrive for us.
FAPI says these lists should be for MAX_TDD_PERIODICITY (which is maybe
a frame, or a TDD period? but likely not two frames). Reduce to one
frame.
Also, the nFAPI code assumes one entire frame, so use that (this commit
necessary to actually make the PNF work, otherwise, the
packing/unpacking of the FAPI message would need to do 2 frames).
Closes: #876
Upon reception of FAPI UL messages (e.g., RACH.indication), those
messages are put into queues, to be delivered in a single call,
NR_UL_indication(). Call the scheduler to trigger processing in UL.
Note that ideally, these queues should not exist at all, and messages
should just be delivered asynchronously, as this would lead to less
copying of messages. Currently, we fulfill the scheduler interface
instead.
Important! Trigger UL after having run DL scheduler and sent the
messages, to ensure short delay between Slot.indication, and the
response to those messages.
The previous designs seems to do:
loop {
poll_ind_queue()
if (msg)
scheduler;
pselect() on messages;
handle_message {
if slot_ind
put_ind_queue()
}
}
So basically, we artificially put a queue for slot indications in the
middle, but still handle it in the same thread(!). This for some reason
results in a big slow down if the PNF runs faster.
Now, we just do pselect(), waiting for messages. We handle the slot
indication immediately (the schedule should take some microseconds),
then return to pselect().
Use this function to implement distinct behavior for monolithic or PNF:
- monolithic: run the scheduler, as normal
- PNF: send a slot indication; the VNF will send an answer which the PNF
will handle elsewhere.
Add function declarations to make nr_ulsim compile, as NR_IF_Module.c is
part of the MAC sources. As of now, this is necessary; I think the right
way would be to take NR_IF_Module.c out of the MAC, and make this a
"glue" library that sticks L1 and L2 together, in monolithic (in VNF, in
that case, we should not link in L1, and for the PNF not the L2,
creating separate executables... Rome was not built in one day).
We are required to store multiple PUCCH (e.g., for multiple UEs).
However, nr_fill_pucch() automatically freed the previously active PUCCH
structure. Of course(!) this does not make sense.
However, the problem is that init_nr_transport() allocated only one
PUCCH structure. Also this does not make sense to me. The problem was
that slot_ahead was 0, which logically cannot happen in this function
(because slot_ahead is illogical, we must give the radio some time). The
reason is that it uses if_inst->sl_ahead, which, prior to this commit,
was not set.
The init_nr_transport() function is called normally from main() through
init_eNB_afterRU(). In this case, we initialize if_inst->sl_ahead to
what is set in main(). In the PNF case, however, we call
init_nr_transport() from the PNF thread, when receiving the start
request. In the main(), we wait for this to happen, before setting
if_inst->sl_ahead. Hence, initializing this variable (which we should
safely be able to do) before solves the problem.
The radio gives the clock. Therefore, we do not need to keep the time
separately in the PNF.
Also, the VNF should not run the ru_thread, as this is an L1 thread.
This is to align with monolithic/FAPI, where we get slot indications in
each slot. In the nFAPI, this is replaced by timing information, such
that the VNF ticks automatically, and gets indications from the PNF on
early/late messages. The timing information handling is not implemented
in the present nFAPI implementation. Instead, we adopt the FAPI behavior
and send timing information in every slot, abusing it to be a slot
indication.
There is no need to add the PNF in nr_start_resp_cb(), because it has
already been done in nr_param_resp_cb(). This might be wrong, because 4G
does it only in nr_start_resp_cb(), but for the moment, since it is also
used in nr_param_resp_cb(), avoid the double add.
The same function is called in nr_start_resp_cb(), why there and not here?
At reception of nr_param_response, we receive the remote PNF information
on PNF/VNF. We have to store it.
In nr_start_response, it might not be correct and/or can be taken out.
The next commit will remove it.
Remove most of m64 type usage
MMX instructions were first SIMD version, the registers management is complex
(_mm_empty()) so, it is better to remove it now and use more recent instructions
anyway, gcc/clang should replace it automatically as long as we enable sse2,
that should always be the case but for code understanding and for ARM porting
for example, it is better to explicitly remove it
Add a small FAPI Hex parser utility
Adds a small FAPI hex parser utility nfapi_hex_parser, that takes in a FAPI
message hexdump, either from the command line or a file, unpacks it and prints
the contents out to the console.
The functions to print the data to the console were added alongside the existing
utility functions, for both P5 and P7 messages.
This allows the user to quickly check if a message has the valid format to be
unpacked in OAI.
The file examples.md contains some examples of execution and output.
This utility is compiled alongside the NFAPI_LIB, as such, it is compiled
whenever we compile nr-softmodem, or any other target that uses the NFAPI_LIB.
Prior to this this commit, the structure NR_UE_info_t is 4881632 bytes.
On some machines, e.g., one of the CI systems, this can lead to realtime
problems when doing the initial calloc() of the data structure.
Commit e586efb29d ("Enable 32 HARQ
Processes in DL, UL") introduced the real-time problems by increasing
the number of HARQ processes.
The reason NR_UE_info_t is that big is that it contains buffers for DL
HARQ data that might need to be retransmitted (the L1 is stateless, it
cannot store this for the L2). To reduce the size, dynamically allocate
the DL HARQ buffers when they are needed. This also reduces the size of
NR_UE_info_t to 15840 bytes.
Encapsulate transportBlock in byte_array and accessory functions, and
allocate in big chunks of multiple of ~32kB.

ran_func_kpm.c uses cp_ba_to_str(), but it is not defined in OAI. Define
it so we can link properly, instead of relying on FlexRIC (where it was
defined).
Introduce function cu_update_f1_ue_data() which does remove+add under
one lock. This fixes a concurrency bug. For instance, during
reestablishment, the CU needs to update the DU UE ID under which the UE
is identified in the DU. Previously, the CU would remove, then add the
DU UE ID info. At the same time, the PDCP thread might look up the
information. This can lead to asserts. Use the above addmod
functionality to do the remove-add under a mutex.
Modify test to verify this works as expected.

fix(nrLDPC_coding_t2): Miscellaneous fixes related to T2
1. HARQ combined offset:
The offset provided for each code block in the HARQ combined input and output
buffer shall not be above 512. A modulus was performed on the offset of the TB
in the buffer to avoid this situation. But the offset of the code block was
added afterward so that the total offset was sometimes going above 512.This
commit performs the modulus after adding the code block offset. Usually this
issue was triggering a segfault after less than 2 minutes of an iperf test on
some setup using T2. The same iperf test was successfully performed during 10
minutes on the same setup with this change.
2. Properly stop LDPC coding in gNB and UE:
LDPC coding was yet not properly stopped by using free_nrLDPC_coding_interface
in gNB and UE. This was not causing major issue until now. It was especially not
causing any issue with T2 LDPC coding using the PF. But using T2 VFs, if the
coding library is not properly stopped then the VF cannot be used anymore unless
the admin app is restarted. So this MR adds the missing free_nrLDPC_coding_interface.

usrp constant and slow derive timestamp
Sample write reorder function doesn't handle properly the clock shift.
It keeps the same time origin forever, so, if the clock sifts in one direction,
we finish to reach the maximum time shift that was designed for slot to slot
maximum shift.
We may also consider if this function is useful: gNB and UE currently ensure Tx
in order because there are other issues above if we let Tx preparation run out
of order in separate threads

Useful to debug realtime issues, for example when calling a periodical
routine, if it's not programmed carefully enough, it may be that the first
call takes way longer than the next ones (for example it uses some memory
that is not mapped in the process, leading to many page faults the first
time it's executed).
Having a periodic log for the timing of this routine with min/avg/max/count
will reveal that a call is way longer than average and will help in
finding where exactly in the code the time is spent, thanks to the ease
of use of the T tracer; you put T(T_XX, T_INT(1)) just before the code
you want to measure, you put T(T_XX, T_INT(0)) just after and time_meas
will show the delta time between those events. Then you cut the routine
in smaller pieces, measure with T(1)/T(0), and you finally reach the small
guilty part that takes too long.
In time_meas.c, when getting 0 for the event, we log delta time with
previous 1 for the event. "start_valid" was not cleared, so receiving
a second 0 without 1 in between may lead to wrong logging.
Should not happen in practice, but still, little bug.
(Note: we don't protect against streams of 1, but this case should also
not happen.)

Modify xu_add_f1_ue_data() to be xu_addmod_f1_ue_data(), i.e., "addmod"
behavior in which it is possible to also update f1_ue_data. I do it this

the add function (only deleting existing data, whereas the original
add() was asserting in that case).
Modify tests to test for this behavior.

- the parameters used in DL/UL are exactly the same, except the direction and the number of PRBs;
therefore, passing the direction seems convenient for visibility purposes and reduces the code.

At the end, it is actually the same info.

Fix calculation of RSSI in pucch_rx.c
Fix two issues with RSSI calculation in PUCCH:
- RSSI was calculated using partial sum instead of average of squared samples.
- There was a missing parentheses pair which causes the RSSI value to underflow.
The proper way to calculate power in dBFS is
let signal_energy = average of squared samples of received signal over resource elements, antennas and symbols under measurement
then:
rssi[dBFS] = -10log10(max_sample^2 / signal_energy),
or (to avoid division):
rssi[dBFS] = -(10log10(max_sample^2) - 10log10(signal_energy))

This works because gcc/clang replaces the MMX calls by SSE2 automatically.
There are some mm_empty() calls in bad places (places where we don't use
_m64) and it is lacking in places where we still use _m64. Given that
MMX calls are converted to SSE2, there is no problem, and we will remove
remaining _m64 variables.

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.
Introduce ITTI queue in RRC-to-MAC direction
resolve ue rcc to mac race conditions by a itti queue, but it doesn't
resolve the problem of exact slot we should apply the new cell
configurtion
fhi_72: allow to provide dpdk_iova_mode to xran
- Introduce a gNB configuration option that enables users to select the
desired IOVA mode for DPDK ("PA" or "VA") with dpdk_iova_mode
parameters in fhi_72 configuration section. If not set, the default
remains PA mode to ensure backward compatibility with existing
configurations. Detailed information about IOVA modes, including their
advantages and disadvantages, can be found in the DPDK documentation:
Memory in DPDK Part 2: Deep Dive into IOVA
- Using IOVA VA mode allows DPDK to run without requiring SYS_ADMIN
capability for the docker container.
- Switch to IOVA VA mode in the FHI7.2 pipeline and reduce the required
capabilities for the docker container.
Move UL_INFO structure allocation local to a rx slot processing
UL_INFO is allocated a gNB, so require mutex and obscur information
passing function to function. Instead, make a local UL_INFO per slot,
removing the mutex and making the code easier to understand.
Use UL_INFO on the stack, to simplify the code. move in the same struct
the associated rach, pdu, crc, srs arrays that where pointed from
directly in gNB structure Keep in nfapi the existing logic that make
malloc for theses rach, pdu, crc, srs array lists
Pass only relevant fields, where appropriate.

nrLDPC_coding: Fix naming, comments, superfluous variables and documentation typos in coding library interfaces
This MR is clarifying the interfaces to the LDPC coding libraries. It
aims to improve the readability of the interfaces and compliance of
naming with specification 38.212.
Fix yaml example config file
amf_ip_address is decoded as a paramlist_def_t and not as a paramdef_t,
so in the config file it should be a list of ip addresses
In current develop just by trying to run this config file with:
sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-NR-5GC/CONF/gnb.sa.band78.fr1.106PRB.usrpb210.yaml
results in a segfault.
Config files improvements for PRACH
Some PRACH parameters in configuration files are not properly set.
- number of SSB per RACH occasion should be 1 when we have only 1 SSB
(it would still work with 1/2 but it makes little sense and might
limit UE selection of ROs).
- some PRACH configuration indices would generate PRACH conflicting with
PUCCH and therefore reducing scheduling capabilities
Further cleanup of some config files still using deprecated fields
Switching to IOVA VA mode in the FHI7.2 pipeline reduces the required
capabilities for the Docker container. This change allows the removal
of the SYS_ADMIN capability.
In DPDK, IO Virtual Addresses (IOVA) refers to the memory addressing
scheme used for IO operations. The two IOVA modes supported by DPDK are:
- IOVA as Physical Address (PA): IO memory addresses correspond directly
to physical addresses, no address translation required.
- IOVA as Virtual Address (VA): IO memory addresses align with user-space
virtual addresses, requiring IOMMU to remap physical memory.
Previously, this was hardcoded to 0, to use IOVA as PA mode, with xRAN's
DPDK EAL initialization using the "--iova-mode=pa" flag.
This commit introduces a gNB configuration option to allow users to select
the desired IOVA mode. The default remains PA mode to
ensure backward compatibility.
Using IOVA VA mode allows DPDK to run without requiring SYS_ADMIN
capability in the docker container.
NR UE fix DCI mask size
Previous maximum size was 15 but in practice it could be at least up to
18. Also moved assertion on non-contiguous type0 DLSCH allocation to L1
(to remove blocking point for L2 implementation).
CI: change frequency for timing and B200-SABOX pipelines
Change center frequency of
- RAN-SA-B200-Module-SABOX-Container - 20 MHz TDD SA scenario from
3309.48 MHz to 3609.12 MHz
- RAN-gNB-N300-Timing-Phytest-LDPC - Timing phytest 40 MHz scenario from
3619.08 MHz to 3319.68 Mhz
to avoid interference between the SABOX and timing pipeline.
Improvements for PUSCH per symbol processing
- Improved the assert in task_ans.c
- Fixed and issue with PUSCH per-symbol processing that could cause an
issue in case num_pusch_symbols_per_thread is not 1.
NR gNB MSG3 TPC

Closes#866
NR gNB improvements for analog beam management
- Improvements at gNB MAC layer to properly handle analog beam
management for all channels
- Simple beam switching mechanism based on UE RSRP report
- 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
chore(ci): improved errors messages visibility
1. There was a trailing && before $BUILD_OPTIONS in the command line
2. Added leading lines and more pattern to the grep command that
displays errors/warnings messages during docker build since we don't
have access to all.txt if build fails
nrLDPC_coding: improvements
One improvement in this changeset: Functions nr_interleaving_ldpc,
nr_deinterleaving_ldpc, nr_rate_matching_ldpc and
nr_rate_matching_ldpc_rx that were previously linked with the PHY layer
in the executables are now linked with the LDPC coding implementations
where they are called.
The parent commit cleans up and groups oai_exit in one place,
nr-softmodem-common.h. Therefore, this 5G file is included in the 4G
defs_common.h (at least it's mostly 4G), which is not nice. Instead,
define oai_exit also in 4G softmodem-common.h, and include this in
defs_common.h. Remove the cyclic inclusion of defs_common.h in
softmodem-common.h, and resolve all subsequent errors around unknown
types and extern definition mismatches.
Commit d641a76196 ("fix BSR report malformed, add SHORT BSR when it
can") removed code to fill the remainder of a TB, if it is not filled
with data from RLC, with random data when using phy-test or do-ra modes.
This random data filling is intentional, as it might prove useful for
demos or when debugging (e.g., to see used spectrum instead of 0, etc.).
Reintroduce the functionality, but unlike the original code, make it
dependent on the mode, not RFsim.
See also discussion in #888.
Fixup: d641a76196
Reduce race conditions through a itti queue, such that RRC-initiated MAC

However, it doesn't resolve the problem of exact slot we should apply

is one-time use so the assert is valid, but the value of the atomic was added

Optimize PHY_ofdm_mod CYCLIC_PREFIX in case of incidentally aligned pointers
It seems that the cyclic prefix is in most cases a multiple of 512 samples.
This means that in most cases the idft output pointer is already aligned and
there is no need to perform an extra memcpy. This saves the memcpy time in
most cyclic prefix insertion cases.
A script to run CI tests locally.
Added ./run_locally.sh script. The script takes one argument being the testcase

rfsimulator testcases should run as in CI.
To this end, the CI python scripting framework was updated:

in case --local flag is passed
- Allow RemoteCmd class to run on localhost

Add support for O1 in O-DU via telnet
This change set adds a simple telnet interface to nr-softmodem. Together
with oai/o1-adapter>, this implements a part of the O1 interface, for
the DU only. Currently supported uses cases:
- some stats are send to an SMO (such as bandwidth, PLMN, frequency, ...)
- re-configuration of bandwidth, frequency
- stop/start of the softmodem, while keeping the CU and L2 running
- the o1-adapter implements two alarms, load overload and base station
offline, using this interface.
It is possible to use the telnet interface by itself (i.e., "o1" without
the o1-adapter). To do this, compile with telnet support (./build_oai
--build-lib telnetsrv) and start the nr-softmodem with O1 module
(./nr-softmodem --telnetsrv --telnetsrv.shrmod o1). You can then do the
following:
- see some statistics as exposed to o1-adapter, in JSON: echo o1 stats | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
- stop the L1: echo o1 stop_modem | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
- reconfigure bandwidth: e.g., echo o1 bwconfig 20 | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo (also supported: 40, 60, 100)
- start the L1: echo o1 start_modem | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
Note that the reconfiguration works with split-8 radios. Notably, it
does not work yet out-of-the-box with 7.2 radios, because they have to
be manually reconfigured on bandwith/frequency switch. The planned
M-plane should allow such use case, though.
To help with the above, this branch also includes fixes (for more
information, refer to the corresponding commits):
- fixes for stopping the L1, notably stop threads in right order, stop
thread pool of RU
- collect some general MAC metrics, fix some bugs in MAC
- fix problems in F1AP gNB-DU configuration update message, update test
- fix some problems in RRC
The consumer of this function just passes a pointer to something to be
sent. This function should not free this memory, it's simply not it's
task. This is the same bug as above in
"CU_handle_gNB_DU_CONFIGURATION_UPDATE(): don't free the message of RRC"
This adds a basic telnet module to support the O1 interface at the DU,
to be used together with the oai/o1-adapter>. Concretely, this first
version supports to
- read/modify cell parameters
- stop/start the L1
Implements the re-start of the L1 after it has been stopped through
stop_L1(). It takes into account some changes, such as bandwidth, or
frequency, when restarting the L1. To this end, it also triggers a
gNB-DU configuration update message on each restart to inform the CU
about any changes in the DU. FDD has not been tested.
Refactor L1 stopping code into a function. The function is basically the
same as what we were doing at the end of main() of nr-softmodem.c.
This will be reused to support the "soft-restart" functionality in the
next commits.
Need to proper forward declaration, as we otherwise need to make
telnet_o1 module dependent on F1. Make functions publicly accessible,
as the F1 functions are used in an upcoming commit to start the L1.
Need to keep track of number of RUs, as the RU initialization increments
the number of RUs. Therefore, subsequent initializations would fail if
we don't decrement first. There is no better place (or I did not find
it) to decrement the number of RUs than in nr_phy_free_RU(). For this
reason, we also have to manually set the number of RUs in nr_prachsim to
1, otherwise the assert will trigger.
Split out these functions, to be reused in a follow-up commit to
correctly have gNB-DU configuration update message working.
Change the return type copy_f1ap_served_cell_info(), to return the copy,
which IMO is more intuitive then passing target and source in
parentheses.
For the "restart" feature, earlier versions where creating multiple UL
TDA. This is not a problem (anymore), but to avoid that we call this
multiple times, add this assert.
The existing code prevents double initialization if e.g., both gNB&UE
call these functions (like in a simulator). However, in the case of a
double-initialization such as stopping and re-starting the L1, the
memory will be freed, but not freed again. Basically, this works:
generate()
generate() # not initialized again
but this leads to problems:
generate()
free()
generate() # not initialized again, but should be!
Reimplement the check based on the data to be initialized, such that an
intermediate free() will be handled properly.
These are the "main" worker threads (apart the ru_thread). If the
thread-pool stops, they might get stuck. E.g., in PUSCH channel
estimation, it uses a local response queue, and if the thread pool is
terminated, it seems that the L1_rx_thread can get stuck in there.
To limit these problems, attempt to stop these threads first; stop the
queue from which they read and make them terminate; then, stop the
thread pool.
Also, fix the termination of respPuschSymb queue.
A later commit implements the "restart" of the L1. The L1 reads
configuration options. First, allow to re-read configurations by
increasing the amount of memory the config module might allocate. Then,
avoid an out-of-bound write by checking that we still have memory
available (and assert if not possible).
New LDPC coding library interface for decoding and encoding complete slots in one call to the library
Previous attempts to integrate LDPC decoding relying on offloading show
the limitation of the original code segment coding interface for the
library implementing LDPC coding. In order to perform the offload and
therefore the decoding in an optimal fashion, it is relevant to provide
the implementation with the broader amount of data possible per call,
which is a slot. A previous MR related to T2 offload managed to offer
an interface for decoding transport blocks by modifying only
nr_ulsch_decoding.c. But this may not be sufficient for performing an
efficient decoding in any situation. Slots could be shared between
multiple transport blocks in case multiple UEs are connected to the RAN,
which makes the transport block size shrink and therefore degrades the
efficiency of the offloading.
This MR offers a broader interface with a gNB decoding entry point in
phy_procedures_nr_gNB.c. The file nr_ulsch_decoding.c now lets the
decoding library implement deinterleaving, rate-unmatching and decoding
for the slot. In gNB encoding and UE decoding and encoding as well,
tasks are partitioned in a similar fashion.
As it allows to feed the implementation with the broadest amount of data
possible, it allows to fit any coding solution in a library. This will
avoid further modification to OAI source code and addition of options to
select an implementation when integrating new decoding solutions. An
implementation of this interface will therefore be offered for every
existing decoding solution in OAI and solutions added in the future will
be provided as independent module code without any modification to the
core of OAI code. The way to choose the decoding solution and to
configure it was also unified using configmodule. The library can be
chosen through the option --loader.ldpc.shlibversion. The slot coding
solutions shipped with this MR can be configured through configmodule
(e.g., T2 address and isolated cores).
This MR includes three coding implementations:
- A wrapper around segment decoding libraries for test purpose: libldpc.so
- A one shot slot coding and encoding with the T2 board: libldpc_t2.so
- A decoder on FPGA using the XDMA driver: libldpc_xdma.so
Improvements brought by this MR:
- Easy integration of a wider variety of LDPC coding solution at gNB and UE
- Easy selection of the LDPC coding solution (option --ldpc-offload-enable is kept for now but it can be ultimately removed)
- T2:
* More efficient when many UEs are connected
* Decoding and encoding in nr-uesoftmodem
NGAP-Initial Context Setup Failure

SIB19 utilization on UE
Following SIB19 initialization and scheduling on gNB (!2899 - merged)
and Receive SIB19 on nrUE (!2920 - merged), this merge request aims to
introduce the actual use of the SIB19 provided parameters by gNB in UE.
Changes needed for utilization include: initialization of position
coordinates parameters for UE (which are needed to calculate propagation
delay between UE and SAT), propagation delay calculations and timing
advance adjusts. Moreover, this change removes the now unused arguments
for ntn_koffset, ntn_ta_common and ntn_ta_commondrift
GTP: use direct call instead of ITTI
Using ITTI calls for user plane implies (1) a memory allocation, (2)
mutexes, and (3) queueing messages for each user plane packet, which is
heavy. Use a direct API call instead to reduce overhead.
It seems that the cyclic prefix is in most cases a multiple of 512 samples.
This means that in most cases the idft output pointer is already aligned and
there is no need to perform an extra memcpy. This saves the memcpy time in
most cyclic prefix insertion cases.
More complex implementations will be achieved using the new reworked interface
- t_nrLDPC_dec_params: remove F, Qm, rv and perCB
- encoder_implemparams_t: remove Qm, Tbslbrm, G, rv and perCB
- Remove all variables (like OPENAIR1), they serve no purpose and make
unnecessarily long lines
- Remove linking to T, it does not seem to be necessary
- Avoid intermediate variables to keep sources, and declare libraries
directly, making for shorter code
NGAP Failure message - Initial Context Setup Failure.

Fix several issues in ulsch_mmse_2layers
Fix incorrect array type of determ_fin which was set to int32_t while the

Remove assert on right-shifting negative integers as it is impossible for
determ_fin to hold negative values.
Change type of sum_det to uint32_t to prevent possible overflow. Fix
the type cast (int -> uint32_t) to prevent casting before shift in
nr_ulsch_comp_muli_sum which might have resulted in right shifting
negative integers.
Closes: #753
UE data race fix
When a new sync request is sent to PHY, we clear harq buffer and start
synchronization process. This could lead to unexpected behavior or segv
because DL actors might be using the buffer we just cleared. To avoid
this, the DL actors are shutdown and re initiated before clearing harq
info.
Some users copy libxran.so to a system directory (e.g., /usr/local/lib).
At the same time, we require xran_LOCATION to be set to find the build
directory. Use HINTS to prefer the location passed through
xran_LOCATION.
Also, use NO_DEFAULT_PATH to outright disallow global scope, to prevent
"accidentally" finding libxran.so in global scope (this is for
multi-user systems that are used in development, and where people have
different version of libxran for testing purposes). To still use
packages in e.g., /usr/local/, it would be possible to set xran_LOCATION
to this directory. (there is a problem that the version information will
likely not be read correctly, so this might not be enough)
B200 with high clock drift will go out of sync within 280ms which was
the default duration to sync in with iqrecorder. Now this value can be
specified via cmd line so the user can change it according to needs.
Set the number of barriers to 512 and implement proper slot and frame
based selection. Now the dynamic barriers should not be overwritten in
case the rx-to-tx offset is high. The maximum offset supported is 512.
- Removed ntn_koffset, ntn_ta_common, ntn_ta_commondrift arguments in order to be used directly from SIB19
- Removed global NTN_UE_Koffset variable and it's use
- Introduced getter functions for ntn related parameters
Using ITTI calls for user plane implies (1) a memory allocation, (2)
mutexes, and (3) queueing messages for each user plane packet, which is
heavy. Use a direct API call instead to reduce overhead.
- Added new structure to hold timing advance parameters
- Made SIB19 related calculation to save to this struct
- Modified in ra to get ta struct values
Move handling of sync request from MAC from UE_dl_preprocessing(). This
will process the sync request before receiving the samples of current

Fronthaul xran library update to F release (2. and final step towards M-plane integration)
- xran library support -> both E and F releases
- RU delay profile removed -> not used in neither of the releases
- DU delay profile updated
- one-way delay measurements support is improved/fixed in the F release.
However, not implemented here as it depends on the RU capabilities
The "mgmt_addr" parameter is not required for USRP N310 initialization. The
critical parameter for successful operation is the "addr", which specifies
the IP address of the SFP port used for data transfer.
Including both "mgmt_addr" and "addr" can lead to initialization failures if
one of the specified addresses is unavailable. Since the "mgmt_addr" is
unnecessary for this context, it has been removed to avoid potential conflicts
and simplify the configuration.
Fix incorrect array type of determ_fin which was set to int32_t while the
array holds the results of simde_mm_abs_epi32 which produces unsigned
values.
Remove assert on right-shifting negative integers as it is impossible for
determ_fin to hold negative values.
Change type of sum_det to uint32_t to prevent possible overflow.
Fix the type cast (int -> uint32_t) to prevent casting before shift in
nr_ulsch_comp_muli_sum which might have resulted in right shifting negative
integers.
Updates to match more fapi-compliant tx_data.request
The packing of PDUs as required in aerial for the Tx_data.Request wasn't
complaint with FAPI. That was fixed in Aerial 24-2. This change makes L2
pack the payloads in the way that Aerial now requires.
remove un-necessary global variables
Remove global variables that can be removed by a trivial way:
- simply dead globals
- or reference is a single source, so can be static
setting them static reduces the scope, that is a progress, but of course as
for all static variables, the code is still not re-entrant
Major improvements:
1) bbu_offload - enable packet handling on BBU cores
2) dlCpProcBurst - DL CP processing on one or more symbols
3) SRS CP processing - depends on the RU capabilities that can be
retreived via M-plane (if RU is CAT B)
4) nSecDesc - the number of section descriptors per symbol; it was hardcoded to 0 in E release;
depends on the RU capabilities that can be retreived via M-plane
5) RunSlotPrbMapBySymbolEnable - enable PRB mapping by symbol with multisection;
depends on the RU capabilities that can be retreived via M-plane
6) DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing) support - depends on the RU capabilities that can be retreived via M-plane
Minor fixes in F that exist in E:
1) prach_config->nPrachFilterIdx - explained in commit ID f3045396
2) T1a_min_cp_dl - explained in the commit under title "Clarification on DU delay profile"
3) fh_config->nULRBs - explained in commit under title "Further clarification on xran E release parameters"
Removed const for prb_conf argument in oran_allocate_cplane_buffers()
function, as F release requires the not const struct for
xran_init_PrbMap_by_symbol_from_cfg() and xran_init_PrbMap_from_cfg()
even though the struct is not modified inside of these functions.
- remove xran parameter io_cfg->port logging => this parameter
is filled within xran library in both E and F releases
- PRACH offset explanation; not limited to >= max(Ntx, Nrx);
workaround done in xran to support PRACH eAxC IDs same as PUSCH eAxC IDs
- DL PRB not used in xran; UL PRB used in xran F release, therefore
removed from the patch
- these fixes should have been done in the commit ID f3045396
Align YAML config getlist with libconfig implementation
This aligns the behavior of params_yaml with params_config library:
- when a mapping is read using getlist it returns the number of elements in
the mapping instead of 0
- when a mapping is read using get it returns the number of parameters used
for input
CI: Allow restart of the container if deployment fails
In CI we sometimes encounter fail of the gNB/UE deployment (and fail of the test
scenario) caused by unsuccessful initialization of the USRP N310.
This MR enables to optionally restart the gNB or UE container, if the deployment
fails on the health check during start up. By default, restarts of the container
are not allowed, but we can enable them by setting num_attemps > 1 for a given
deployment in the XML file.
Logs from failed deployment attempts are collected.
This MR aims to avoid known CI failure caused by "USRP N310 Initialization Failure"
mentioned in #871.
Documentation: add multi-UE deployment with RFsimulator
Extended doc/NR_SA_Tutorial_OAI_nrUE.md with section about how to run multiple UEs
- multiple UEs with namespaces (provided new script)
- multiple UEs with Docker UEs
- updated rfsimulator and channel simulation tutorials
- updated README.md
This change makes it so the fapi_nr_p7_message_pack is used to pack TX_DATA.request for Aerial, reducing the amount of repeated code.
Add the capability to pack TLVs with TAG=2 (offset from first address)
Packs the TLV.length differently according to whether or not Aerial is in use ( for Aerial TLV.length is 16-bit, for OAI is 32-bit )
In CI we sometimes encouter fail of the gNB/UE deployment (and fail of
the pipeline) caused by unsuccsessful initialization of the USRP N310.
Restart the container if the health check fails during initialization.
Introduce a configurable parameter (from XML) to set max number of
attempts for the container deployment.
Store logs from failed deployment attempts.
Rework GetContainerHealth() to work with docker compose and services,
instead of using docker and containers. Return health and message about
deployment status (used for console and HTML logging) for a given service.
T tracer: add macpdu traces for the NR UE
MIB, SIB1, random access and regular scheduling are traced.
At the beginning of a connection (rrc setup request and rrc setup), the
RNTI is reported as 0. Might be fixed, somehow, if absolutely needed (not
sure).
Refactor UL MAC PDU decoding
Refactor the UL MAC PDU decoding: A single function is created to decode the
entire MAC subheader
uint8_t decode_ul_mac_sub_pdu_header(uint8_t *pduP, uint8_t *lcid, uint16_t *length).
It returns the length of the MAC subheader and outputs the LCID and Length.
This new function is called from 2 functions: lcid_crnti_lookahead() and
nr_process_mac_pdu().
After calling it in nr_process_mac_pdu(), the validation of the PDU can be
made for all the MAC subPDUs in a single place, allowing for less and more
clean code (as opposed with the previous version where the validation was
made multiple times inside the LCID switch-case).
Additionally, this MR updates the list of LCIDs as in 3GPP TS 38.321 v18.3.0
Table 6.2.1-2: Values of LCID for UL-SCH when the LX field is not present or
is set to 0.
- removed some whitespace noise.
- cleaned up CMakeLists.txt
- reintegrated task_manager.c into thread-pool.c
- cleaned up some unnecessary code

MIB, SIB1, random access and regular scheduling are traced.
At the beginning of a connection (rrc setup request and rrc setup), the
RNTI is reported as 0. Might be fixed, somehow, if absolutely needed (not
sure).
This aligns the behavior of params_yaml with params_config library so that
when a mapping is read using getlist it returns the number of elements in
the mapping instead of 0.
FAPI P7 Refactoring and unitary test creation
This MR is a follow-up to the work done in !2714 this time separating
the P7 FAPI messages into its own library (nr_fapi_p7).
In the same way, utility functions to copy, free and compare have been
added for each message, as well as an addition function to get the
allocated size for a message, which is used for the messages that can be
too big to fit in a buffer that's allocated in the stack.
Unitary tests have been added for each of the messages, testing
pack/unpack and the utility functions added.
Some users of the OAI CI complain that since we build with -Werror, it
is difficult to see all warnings/errors and fix them, necessitating
multiple attempts at times to see all warnings. To allow them to see
more warnings, use ninja option -k10 to keep going after errors, and
show more errors at once.
There are command line options that one might pass to ninja/make, but
for which cmake does not provide an interface. For instance, make/ninja
support -k/-kN to "keep going" after errors. Cmake does not provide an
option, but it is still possible to pass this. Make a build_oai option
to allow this, used in the next commit.
Imscope updates
- Using imgui docking branch - allows window docking.
- Moved scopes to different windows to allow docking.
- Disabled scatterplot for time domain samples - issues with amount of
vertices caused segfaults.
- Disabled IQ heatmaps for RX IQ samples on gNB and UE - this was
incorrect and currently I don't know how to fix it. This will be
reenabled once it is.
- added a simple menu and disabled demo windows by default.
Update NR UE threading model
This updates the NR UE threading model by preventing calling threadpool
from threadpool and fixes deadlock issues related to processSlotTX. By
making processSlotTX run to completion instead of starting and waiting
for other threads to finish it prevents locking thread pool cores,
therefore prevening deadlocks.
There is a slight difference here compared to the previous version where
I do not use the UL actor as I believe it is not necessary,
processSlotTX satisfies the run-to-completion requirement now. If in the
future any UL procedure would be parallelized using the thread pool it
should either be done in a run-to-completion model or the processSlotTX
function should be taken off the thread pool.
The documentation has been updated.
- Using imgui docking branch - allows window docking.
- Moved scopes to different windows to allow docking.
- Disabled scatterplot for time domain samples - issues with amount of vertices caused segfaults.
- Disabled IQ heatmaps for RX IQ samples on gNB and UE - this was incorrect and currently I don't know

- added a simple menu and disabled demo windows by default.
4G/5G FAPI code is located in the same file. Since 5G code calls 5G
specific functions, these functions need to be defined in 4G.
The solution would be to separate the FAPI changes into 4G and 5G.
Add nr_fapi_p7 library to NFAPI_USER_LIB for access to utility functions
Change message handlers to use the utility functions to copy and properly free the messages
Change the SRS handler to call the handler for the measurements instead of trying to copy to RC.gNB[0], which does not exist
Change nfapi_nr_p7_message_unpack to not allocate unneeded memory
Changed parameter in unpack function to be inline with other unpack functions.
Changed nfapi_p7_allocate call to calloc to avoid dependency to NFAPI_LIB.
Added unitary test for RACH.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Added constant NFAPI_NR_RACH_IND_MAX_PDU to follow constants related to other P7 messages limiting the maximum number of PDUs to use.
Removed now unneeded dependency to NFAPI_LIB and NFAPI_USER_LIB
Changed parameter in unpack_nr_srs_indication to void * to be inline with other unpack procedures.
Added memory allocation for pdu_list inside unpack function.
Add unitary test for SRS.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Added rands16 to provide random int16_t values, needed for SRS.indication unitary test
Added constant NFAPI_NR_SRS_IND_MAX_PDU to follow constants related to other P7 messages limiting the maximum number of PDUs to use.
This adds the equality, free and copy functions for SRS.indication message as described in the Table 3–129 of SCF222.10.04, it does not add the functions for the report type structures, as these are always sent/received inside the uint32_t array.
The utility functions for these will be added at a later commit, and subsequently tested in the upcoming unitary test for SRS.indication.
Extra utility function to calculate allocated memory added.
Apply clang-format to pack/unpack procedures.
Add comments to improve readability of iqSize usage.
Fix unpacking return value to not return 0 on success.
Renames nfapi_nr_srs_reported_symbol_t prgs into *reported_symbol_list for two reasons:
So that the name is more representative of what the parameter represents.
For it to actually be a list, and not assume only 1 reported symbol is used.
Allocate reported_symbol_list in unpack_nr_srs_beamforming_report.
Updated all references to prior prgs to point to the first position of reported_symbol_list, still only effectively using the first reported_symbol.
Rename fill_srs_reported_symbol_list into fill_srs_reported_symbol and update input parameter name, since it only fills the information related to one reported symbol
Reordered PDU pack/unpack function to follow PDU value order
Changed nfapi_p7_allocate calls to calloc to avoid dependency from FAPI lib to nFAPI lib.
Add unitary test for UCI.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Fix PUCCH Format2/3/4 value to be indexed at 0, not 2.
This is according to Table 3-66 of SCF222.10.02
Add utility functions related to UCI.indication
Extra utility function to calculate allocated memory added.
Changed parameter of `unpack_nr_crc_indication` to void* to stay inline with other unpack procedures.
Changed nfapi_p7_allocate call to calloc to avoid dependency from FAPI lib to nFAPI lib.
Add unitary test for CRC.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Now allocates memory for `uint8_t* cb_crc_status` before pulling in unpack procedure.
Add utility functions related to CRC.indication.
Extra utility function to calculate allocated memory added.
Changed parameter of unpack_nr_rx_data_indication to void* to be inline with other unpack procedures.
Changed nfapi_p7_allocate calls to calloc to avoid dependency from FAPI lib to nFAPI lib.
Add unitary test for RX_DATA.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Changes pack/unpack procedure to expect pdu_length of 32 bits instead of 16.
This change was first added for compatibility with Aerial L1.
Add utility functions related to RX_DATA.indication
Extra utility function to calculate allocated memory added.
Allocate memory for TX_DATA.request TLV value pointer on tag == 1
In the past, this wasn't noticed because tag == 1 is not used
Add utility functions related to TX_DATA.request
Add extra function to calculate allocated memory
Create separate function to pack/unpack rx_beamforming PDU
Reorder PDU handling order to follow from 0 to 3
Changed PUSCH pdu_bitmap switch to separate if to handle multiple optional sub-pdus
Fix bit_len_harq size to 16 bit
Add utility functions related to UL_TTI.request
Add pack/unpack functionality for parameters
added in previous commit
Add utility functions related to DL_TTI.request,
creating 2 news files to contain these functions
Reorder switch to follow PDU Type order
This makes it so the functions are available to both FAPI and nFAPI libraries, and to more easily move them later to the FAPI library, while being available for nFAPI
Update NR P5 and P7 nFAPI headers to have 32-bit message_length
In the NR functions, this causes the header parameters following message_length to have their position shifted by 2 bytes, due to the increase in message_length size.
Change needed to accommodate SCF222.10.02 Table 3-3
Separates nfapi_p4_p5_message_header_t and nfapi_nr_p4_p5_message_header_t
Change the callbacks signature to accept/return void* intead of expecting a particular header type, being the NR/LTE distinction done inside the callback functions.
Create NR related functions for nFAPI transmit timestamp and checksum calculation.
Move nfapi_p7_codec_config_t and nfapi_p4_p5_codec_config_t to separate header to be shared between LTE and NR VNF/PNF
Move nfapi_nr_timing_info_t into NR header.
Move NR specific function declarations to NR header.
Fix Assert condition to properly check that body was packed successfully
Fix retval value when performing bitwise AND with push16
Remove commented code
Remove dummy_subframe variable, which is initialized once in
start_request() and then copied to memory on the heap. It is not needed.
In nr_start_request(), it should not be necessary, but we keep it for
the moment to not make more changes than necessary.
This avoids a segfault for me, but I am not exactly sure why.
The previous code fills random number in the TDD config, which leads to
unrealistic TDD patterns. Filling wtih a specific, realistic TDD config
allowed to fix the bug in the next commit.
Testing showed that some messages could be at least slightly bigger than
the previous maximum size of 8192. Given that the maximum transport
block could be larger, increase this value to 32768.
unpack_dl_tti_ssb_pdu_rel15_value() reads two additional bytes,
seemingly for RX power information. However, table 3-79 does not
contain such info, so I remove to match the corresponding pack function
pack_dl_tti_ssb_pdu_rel15_value().
TODO: tx power info relevant?
Since tag 2024.w45/commit f54ca5714e,
standalone mode/--sa is the default and does not exist. Correspondingly,
it has been removed from the documentation.
For users reading recent documentation, but running an older version of
OAI, there might be a mismatch in that --sa is necessary to run OAI, but
not given in the documentation. Provide explanatory text to make users
aware of this.
Run the last job of gNB pusch channel estimation inline
In case of 1 antenna this prevents the usage of threadpool which
eliminates the thread pool overhead. In case of >1 antenna the
threadpool contention should be reduced providing smaller benefits.
NR UE RRC T304 in phy-test mode
RRC timer T304 is stopped upon completion of the associated RA handover
procedure. There is no RA procedure in phy-test mode so T304 should not
be started to avoid unwanted expiration.
NR MSG3 scheduling improvements
- fix wrong condition on MSG3 allocation assertion message
- remove assertion altogether and handle properly the case where MSG3
can't be allocated
T2: minor fix for 4x4 processing
- correct max number of LDPC segments for T2 processing
- use pointer arithmetics in retrieve_ldpc_enc_op() in T2 lib to
optimize loop processing
Implement run-to-completion for processSlotTX. This is achieved by using a new
dynamic_barrier_t which allows to specify callback after the first join has been
made.
This commit introduces dynamic_barrier_t. Its a thread barrier that counts joins
but allows callback to be specified later. See std::barrier for a basic barrier
description.
In case of 1 antenna this prevents the usage of threadpool which eliminates
the thread pool overhead.
In case of >1 antenna the threadpool contention should be reduced providing
smaller benefits.

- Triggering a standalone FLEXRIC + 5G-RAN pipeline: OAI-FLEXRIC-RAN-Integration-Test
- will be triggered by the RAN-Container-Parent
- but also by the OAI-FLEXRIC pipeline (to be done once integrated)
- Added an new python option: --FlexRicTag= than if not used, won't have any effect
- Nice addition:
- if --FlexRicTag=develop or --ranCommitID=develop --> will use the latest commit
on either dev or develop branch.
- Scenario-wise
- Using the cn5g deployment file from Luis in documentation, at least we will use
it to make sure it is working at all time
- We can add more test and especially checkers on the flexric calls
Linked to !3085 (merged)
Occasionally, the CN deployment takes longer than 60 seconds to complete
successfully. As a result, the CI reports failure, even when all other test
stages pass (e.g., gNB attaches to the CN, UE connects, and iperf tests succeed).
Replace current docker deployment of OAI CN by deployment on OC. With change
of the CN, we also need to change the routing for UE module - change the
mbim script for controling the UE.
Reduce double-usage of CI XML files
Some pipelines use the same XML files. For instance,
RAN-NSA-B200-Module-LTEBOX-Container and RAN-LTE-{TDD,FDD}-LTEBOX-Container
use both fr1_epc_{closure,start}.xml, but use the core network on different
hosts, by means of different pipeline configuration (EPCtype, etc).
A future MR will remove these additional pipeline configuration, and store
all the CN config in the repository. To simplify the transition, duplicate
some XMLs (i.e., remove duplicate usage of them).
After this MR, the only "double usage" of XML files for core (un-)deployment
should be through pipelines RAN-LTE-{TDD,FDD}-LTEBOX-Container.
Refactor of includes in gNB/UE for improved header management
This merge request implements changes suggested by the Include What You Use
(IWYU) open source tool to streamline the project’s header file usage.
The adjustments ensure that each file includes only the necessary headers for
the symbols it uses, making the code more efficient and maintainable.
Unnecessary includes have been removed, and missing headers have been added
where required. This improves modularity and reduces inter-dependencies between
files, helping to avoid future build issues caused by unused or missing includes.
Each output has been manually reviewed.
Followed a similar approach as in !2953 (merged).
Affected folders/files:
- NR_MAC_gNB/main.c
- nr-softmodem.c
- unitary simulators: nr_dlsim, nr_ulsim, prachsim
- openair2/RRC/NR
- openair3/NGAP
- openair2/LAYER2/nr_pdcp
- openair2/SDAP/nr_sdap
Fronthaul 7.2 improvements (1. step towards M-plane integration)
- added explanations for each parameter used for XRAN library
- added new config files for VVDN, Benetel 550 and Metanoia RUs
- changed config file for Benetel 650
- deleted 8x8 650-550, and added 8x8 650-650 config file
- updated FHI README
- setting one or more VFs; compatibility with Mellanox NIC as well
- fhi_72 section
Avoid assert on non-implemented SM write callback
The asserts might be used to intentionally stop the running process.
Further, it might be an annoyance if it happen unintentionally. Just
print an error message instead.
If we are pulling FlexRIC, overwrite the tag to use with what has been
provided on the command line. This is because we hardcode the tag schema
"branchname-commitId[0:8]" everywhere else, but this does not apply for
FlexRIC, and we have to overwrite this here.
- pass parameter directly instead of indirectly via class
- harmonize to svr_id to read through common code in the next commits
- pass images to express which images will be deleted
- refactor function to use "with" for cls_cmd, and return success (or
not)
- reuse cls_containerize.Containerize.PullImage()
- pass parameter directly instead of indirectly via class
- always read node name and use this instead of "sometimes" looking it
up from a class member. With "sometimes" I mean that if no node name
is given, it will take it from self.eNBIPAddress, which is confusing
at best if we can give the node name directly
- consistently put the node name in the xml file
- pass parameter directly instead of indirectly via class
- call it simply "images", to harmonize with clean-function later
- harmonize to svr_id as in the previous commit
- rewrite function to use with-statement with cls_cmd
- optionally pass a tag to use (which will be used in a test, and can be
used to pull flexric)
- Introduce Pull_Image() which does the actual pulling, can pull from
any registry, and will be reused in the case of pulling from cluster.

Ue monitoring stats
- one commit to add UE mac stats similar to gNB one and remove a partial
implementation at phy level of some counters
- second commit only rename the two UE persisted HARQ tyepdef names for DL
and for UL (one was saying "UE" but not the direction and the second the
direction but not "UE")
The asserts might be used to intentionally stop the running process.
Further, it might be an annoyance if it happen unintentionally. Just
print an error message instead, and return to FlexRIC that nothing is to
be sent.
The CI pipeline RAN-NSA-B200-Module-LTEBOX-Container uses the same core
network (ltebox) as the pipelines RAN-LTE-{TDD,FDD}-LTEBOX-Container,
triggered through the same XML files. However, the core networks are on
different hosts, configured through (Jenkins) pipeline configuration. A
future MR will move the entire core network configuration into the XML
files [1]. To facilitate this, create separate XML files for the NSA
pipeline.
[1] The advantage is that it will be easier to reason with only the XML
files what is going to be run where and how.
Fix a small bug with total_res in gNB PUSCH symbol processing
Replaced total_res with res_per_task when deciding whether to start a threadpool
task or not. This does not have big impact on the software as the
nr_pusch_symbol_processing will recheck ul_valid_re_per_slot anyway but it may
reduce the number of thread pool tasks created.
- identification of each parameter in fh_init and fh_config structs
- identification of unused parameters in xran library
- identification of parameters used for CAT A O-RU
=> CAT B not supported in this release
- pass parameter directly instead of indirectly via class
- harmonize to svr_id to harmonize parameter with parameters in the next
commit (and towards a future harmonization of directly taking node
names instead of "IDs")
The queue for finished jobs of PUSCH channel estimation is only used inside
nr_pusch_channel_estimation(). Since initialization is fast, it can be
declared on the stack in the function where it is used.

and max number of DLSCH segments (currently it is 144).

There seem to be randomly occurring deadlocks when running the UE in the
CI. MR !3091 should fix this. While waiting for this, apply a workaround
by increasing the number of worker pools in the UE to 12.
Since tag 2024.w45/commit f54ca5714e,
standalone mode/--sa is the default and does not exist. Correspondingly,
it has been removed from the documentation.
For users reading recent documentation, but running an older version of
OAI, there might be a mismatch in that --sa is necessary to run OAI, but
not given in the documentation. Provide explanatory text to make users
aware of this.
Test for init_RA
A testcase for init_RA function.
The testcase redefines the following functions as stubs:
- nr_mac_rrc_ra_ind
- nr_write_ce_ulsch_pdu
- mac_rlc_data_req
- lockGet_ul_config
- release_ul_config
- remove_ul_config_last_item
- nr_ue_configure_pucch
These stubs can be used to check init_RA behavior
NR UE trigger for re-establishment
The implementation in this MR triggers RRC re-establishment at the UE in case
of radio link failure either for out of sync messages from lower layers or in
case maximum number of RLC retransmissions is reached.

Trigger deregistration only in SA mode
Upon press of ^C, the UE triggers a NAS deregistration. This does not work
in do-ra or phy-test modes, because there is no NAS. Therefore, in non-SA
modes, just stop the UE directly.
This can potentially improve the 5G RFsim CI test case, because together with
a high RFsim timeout, the chances of the last HARQ status line being without
retransmissions is much higher. If that does not help, we can further increase
the retx threshold.

In some runs of a multi-UE deployment, we see segfaults because
cell_group->spCellConfig is NULL. We should not segfault in that case,
so check for spCellConfig.
When the UE list is full, the iterator will run through all
MAX_MOBILES_PER_GNB UEs. It expects that eventually the pointer is NULL,
which is not the case if we have MAX_MOBILES_PER_GNB (or it simply
depends on the following memory). So give one array entry more, to
ensure that the last one is NULL.
- add new data structures for antenna processing.
- create arrays that keep track of certain values (max_ch, noise_amp2, nest_count and delay) per each antenna. These values are processed in order to determine one final output.
- add time processing measurements for each antenna, and prints them in nr_ulsim.
- make num_antennas_per_thread configurable in nr_ulsim and the gNB config file.

UE: Set default SSB config
After initial sync the UE sets the ssb index bitmap in nrUE_config with
index obtained in initial sync. This allows UE to continue decoding PBCH
and stay synched with the gNB till SIB1 is received.
Replaced total_res with res_per_task when deciding whether to start a threadpool task or not.
This does not have big impact on the software as the nr_pusch_symbol_processing will recheck
ul_valid_re_per_slot anyway but it may reduce the number of thread pool tasks created.
Upon press of ^C, the UE triggers a NAS deregistration. This does not
work in do-ra or phy-test modes, because there is no NAS. Therefore, in
non-SA modes, just stop the UE directly.
If the RLC cannot retransmit a package, 3GPP specs say that we should
declare radio link failure (RLF). Up to this commit, the code did
nothing though. In this commit, add a per-UE RLF callback; the RLC will
call into this function to signal that RLF has been detected through
maximum retransmissions on a particular RLC bearer.

Extract nr_ra_procedures.c into a separate library and add a testcase for init_RA function.
The testcase redefines the following functions as stubs:
- nr_mac_rrc_ra_ind
- nr_write_ce_ulsch_pdu
- mac_rlc_data_req
- *lockGet_ul_config
- release_ul_config
- remove_ul_config_last_item
- nr_ue_configure_pucch
These stubs can be used to check init_RA behavior
CI: Cleanup of cls_physim.py
- Remove unused code and file
- Rework functions for CUDA and T2 log analysis
- Check if test was successful for nr_ulsim and nr_dlsim in
RAN-gNB-N300-Timing-Phytest-LDPC pipeline
Set SA mode as default
- Set standalone (SA) mode as the default.
- Adjust commands in Docker Compose files by removing --sa flags and
adding --nsa flags where applicable.
- Add a function to verify that only one mode is being used at a time.
- Update all relevant documentation.
In the last commits, SSHconnection class has been removed from
cls_containerize.py. We therefore don't need the username and password,
as cls_cmd uses certificates only. Remove the usage of the username and
the password, and harmonize the use of GetCredentials().
Recent refactoring replaced the CreateWorkspace function call with a
dedicated XML step (for clarity, and because it avoids needless
recreation of workspaces). In the proxy function, the same
CreateWorkspace xml step has been added, cloning the OAI RAN repo, when
we actually need the repository for the proxy. Hence, fix this by
calling the CreateWorkspace() function manually, but only when
necessary, to build the proxy. (It would only be a problem if the
pipeline would rebuild the proxy, which did not happen because not much
work is happening on the proxy repo).
Further, refactoring and simplication of the proxy build function were
done:
- never tag proxy with develop, that makes no sense
- overwrite CreateWorkspace() info after having created and used the
workspace (the "if" to build the proxy)
- simplify copying of logs
- add simple unit test
- remove check for ubuntu; the dependcy is "docker". Simplify the code
to not obscure with a class variable.
The first thing Build_Proxy does is to remove the repository. Further,
Build_Proxy does not use the OAI RAN repo, but the proxy repo. The
Create_Workspace() is therefore completely useless.
Remove CheckAndAddRoute(), as it is complicated to read, uses a
multitude of hostname/IP/password combinations. Replace with scripts on
the machines, which, as of this commit, are:
- porcepix: ~/after-reboot.sh
- ofqot: ~/after-reboot.sh
- nepes: ~/after-reboot.sh
- obelix: ~/how-to-resetup-obelix-out-of-reboot.sh
It is clearer in CI logs to use absolute paths, and that is also a
"preference" of the new SSH class (cls_cmd.py) in the sense that some
functions don't handle "cd" gracefully (because of underlying Python
library paramiko).
For zip, though, we should change to have nice relative paths in the
archives, so use cd <path> && zip ... to achieve that, instead of
changing to a directory. This way, the path on which we operate is still
visible in the logs in each line.
The clang build fails with
/oai-ran/openair1/PHY/MODULATION/gen_75KHz.cpp:16:23: error: variable length arrays in C++ are a Clang extension [-Werror,-Wvla-cxx-extension]

| ^~~
/oai-ran/openair1/PHY/MODULATION/gen_75KHz.cpp:16:23: note: function parameter 'len' with unknown value cannot be used in a constant expression
So ignore this warning (and make the build pass), since OAI uses VLAs in
various places.
The previous version would put the user-defined options first. However,
the default options include e.g., -Wall. If a user tries to override
(see for instance the next commit) -Wall or other options might override
this and not honor the user choice.
To always have the user have the last work, put user-defined compile
options last.
THere are four possibilities, for the three options (phy_test, do_ra,
nsa):
- None is set -> SA
- Only one is set of each -> corresponding mode
Introduce a function softmodem_verify_mode() to check for these.
- Introduce "Run_Physim" function for running ldpctest (with CUDA) and
nr_dlsim/nr_ulsim (with T2) in RAN-gNB-N300-Timing-Phytest-LDPC test
pipeline.
- Create "cls_analysis.py" and introduce "analyze_physim" for
log analysis of physim tests.
- Define patterns to be searched in the physim logs.
- Extract and print information about total gNB RX/TX PHY processing time
from nr_ulsim/nr_dlsim logs.
- Remove "cls_physim.py" as it is not used anymore, cleanup "main.py".
fix blocking bugs in command nr_dlsim -n100 -e27 -s35 -b 273 -R273 -x4 -y4 -z4
errors in main OAI code:
- one stack overflow
- one variable array of size 0
- one direct usage of unaligned SIMD
and small fixes inside the tests tool nr_dlsim to handle this large configuration (4layers, 100MHz)
use a better complex vector multiplication function
Since commit 041b2b2d7a, the CI main loop
iterates over all steps, even if there has been a problem during an
earlier XML step. In all cases, UndeployObject() is marked to always
run, as we always need to make sure that all deployed services are
terminated. UndeployObject() always recovers logs. Hence, it's not
necessary to do it here as well; it leads to duplicated logs.
This is visible in all pipeline with a failed deployment: the logs
appear twice.
create_workspace.sh used to check out develop by default. However, this
is unnecessary because the script later checks out a specific reference
(which can be a commit ID, which is not accepted by git clone, the
reason we don't check out during clone); the repository will simply be
empty in the beginning, which should not be a problem.
Further, it is problematic because we use this script for the build of
the L2sim proxy, and the repository does not have develop; thus, without
this modification, L2sim proxy build will always fail.
- simplify the code
- prevent to use "beta" tables from one decoder run to the next one (to see it
is the case, don't initialize beta, you will see it doesn't decode)
- decrease memory footprint of the decoder by x10 or more
- save about 15% of cpu in polartest unitary test tool, and more if we run in
realistic use case
- still this decoder performs much worse than the (very) slow OAI version by 3dB
telnetsrv uses the Intel/AMD-specific "cpuid" instruction, which is not
available on ARM machines. Remove the call.
The previous code was checking for the number of cores, which is
retained by a call to get_nprocs(). I did not find an equivalent for the
number of threads in C. In C++, there would be
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread/hardware_concurrency, in
case it's relevant for anybody.
Also, add it to the cross-compilation pipeline
csiim_vars/csirs_vars used to be global array for each UE. Now its present
in phy_data which is in dynamically allocated memory.
MAC config was done without mutex while DL and UL threads could be running
at the same time.
get_ue_nas_info was allocating memory possibly from more than one thread.
Moved it into new init function for UE NAS layer.
Addreses most issues in #869
The goal of this MR is to improve readability, maintainability and consistency
of gNB initialization functions.
This MR is:
- cleaning up redundant and unused code
- refactoring init_gNB, l1_north_init_gNB, RCconfig_NR_L1, NRRCConfig
- removing redundant memory allocation for gNB RAN context and L1 instances
- cleaning up redundant log lines

the version in develop is difficult to understand, and surprizing design
it loops only when avx2mod == 0 because when this test is false, the
size is always small i also spent time to understand, but i think i have
not changed it by not looping over the array.
Use non-recursive polar decoder after traversing the tree once. Maximum number
of nodes is set to 600 (unsure of the maximum). This is more performant
than the recursive version.
- Ensure packed struct through bitfield
- decoder tree buffer increase: i don't find evidence in the 3GPP
standard of the max size of polar coded PDU. even with this max size,
the way this tree is built is not trivial. so, it is hard to predict,
i just put 8 system pages (32KB) that looks enough [1]
- a lot of reformatting
[1] https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.04389
according to this paper, the largest polar code in 5G is in UL, so
likely the biggest problem will be in gNB, not the UE. in DL, the max
output coded block is 512, in UL 1024. probably the tree we discuss is
related to this size.
"frozen bits" means only bits we don't encode/decode because polar code
size is only by power of 2.
We see this in OAI code: NR_POLAR_PUCCH_N_MAX is 10, so 2^10 is 1024,
that is the maximum size for 5G polar code length. in the code, we
assert if N > 512: "N = %d, not done yet\n",
polarParams->N". so, the today OAI code can't do PUCCH large blocks.
using current oai limitation of 2⁹ max code size, we can create up to
2^9+2⁸... nodes, so 1023 nodes in the tree. the problem then is that
each node have variable size, depending on the 'level' (the power of 2
we are currently). the algo provision large alpha and beta to be able
to store all lower levels in the tree (int leaf_sz = 1 << level)
therefore upper tree nodes are large (the top level for n=9 uses about
1.5KB) and the bottom nodes uses 64 bytes. if all nodes are populated,
the size will be very large: 1.5KB + 2 * 800 + .... but, we create
nodes in the tree only for the "information bits", so the payload, that
is limited to 128 bits (else we assert, the code is not "finished").
1.5KB * 128 is >> 8KB i allocated. but, we can't create more than one
mode at top level, so there is maximum 1.5KB + 2 * 800, + 4 * 400 + 8 *
200 + 16 * 100 + remaining of 128-32 nodes of 64 bytes. about 14KB.
i allocated 1024*sizeof(__m256i) bytes = 32KB that looks good.

small fix for 3 digit mnc usage in sib1
When 3 digit MNC is used in PLMN, during preparation of SIB1, first
digit of MNC was not taking into account. UE derives Serving Network
Name (SNN) using PLMN info from sib1. Because of 5GCore and UE has
different SNNs, this leads to XRES*, RES* mismatch during Authentication
Procedure between 5GCore and UE. (SNN is used for derivation of these
keys)
Add functional DFT test

- add DFT test for some DFT sizes against trivial implementation: it
tests a simple square signal in only real values
- correctly scale DFT-16
Moved some functions around so that instead of a function pointer a function
call is used. This enables inlining of functions which reduces number of function calls.
During preparation of SIB1, first digit of MNC was not taking into account.
This leads to XRES*, RES* mismatch during Authentication Procedure between 5GCore and UE because of derived serving network names.
This commit removes many logs that just show memory addresses, indices,
etc., which, I presume, do not mean anything to the "average user" and
developers alike.

This commit implements reestablishment during handover when occurring at
the source DU, either as a handover Failure or "normal" reestablishment
(something else went wrong). In this case, the CU will trigger HO
cancel, which in F1, means to cancel on the target DU. Also, undo any
previous ID changes. Retain the old CellGroupConfig (before handover)
for the case of reestablishment at source. If not needed, it is freed
after the reconfiguration complete.
Reestablishment on target cell during handover cannot be handled by the
gNB (yet). It is the same as with a normal reestablishment (not during
handover) on a different cell: that cell has no notion of the old UE, so
we cannot simply indicate the old UE to reestablish; at least, we would
need to cleanup the CellGroupConfig, and I am not sure this works out of
the box, either.
After handover, the last CellGroupConfig received is the one for
handover, containing a reconfigurationWithSync. Resending this
CellGroupConfig to the UE after reestablishment would trigger a
handover. Free the reconfigurationWithSync to have the UE complete
reestablishment at the current cell.
The CU implementation of reestablishment modifies the CellGroupConfig.
It should not do this, but does as of now. The specification (38.473 Sec
8.7) foresees an optional F1 UE context modification procedure (which
can be used to receive the CellGroupConfig). This should be done instead
to retrieve the correct CellGroupConfig.
Note that the F1 UE context setup procedure, similar to the UE context
modification procedure, would also allow to perform reestablishment on a
DU that is not the original one.
If we release a request from a DU during, handle as follows:
- from the source: Handover is still ongoing, so ignore it by
acknowledging the release, and marking handover as done. In this case,
we did not receive an acknowledgement from the target, but since the
source DU does not keep the UE context, we could not cancel the

reestablishment (or simply be connected on the target)

The HO is completed (from a pure RAN perspective) when receiving
reconfiguration complete. In that case, remove the HO context, and
signal successful handover through the callback. For the F1 handover,
this means releasing the UE at the source DU.

We expect the UE's RRC Reconfiguration Complete to come through the
target DU, as the "new UE" at the target CU. Also, function
CU_handle_UL_RRC_MESSAGE_TRANSFER() checks that the UL RRC Message,
through which we will receive RRC Reconfiguration Complete, matches the
DU UE ID stored in RRC. Since the DU UE ID will be the one at the target
DU, while up to now, we stored the DU UE ID at the source DU.
Correspondingly, update the DU UE ID to the one at the target DU; also
update the corresponding assoc_id.

In this commit, handle the reception of a UE context setup response, in
the case of handover. In that case, store the gNB-DU UE ID and C-RNTI of
the UE at the target DU, and trigger a reconfiguration towards the UE at
the source DU via the callback.
To ensure that the CU-UP's PDCP is SN-aligned with the UE, use
cuup_notify_reestablishment() to reset the bearers with PDCP
reestablishment, which has already been implemented in the last commit.

This is preparatory work to handle the UE context setup response from
the target DU. There are two cases:
- "Initial" UE context setup response (during connection setup): we need
to inform the CU-UP via an E1 message of the new bearers (GTP tunnel
update)
- F1 handover: we need to inform the CU-UP via an E1 message that there
are DRBs to reestablish
There are two different functions, e1_send_bearer_updates() and
cuup_notify_reestablishment(), to do this. Harmonize the code, before
implementing the actual handover logic in the next commit.
Add a function to trigger an F1 handover, including the corresponding
telnet function implementation. The function looks up source&target DU,
creates a HO context, and reads PDU information to send a UE context
setup request to the target DU towards which to handover.

Functions get_qos_char_from_qos_flow_param() and
get_qos_characteristics() will be used in rrc_gNB_mobility.c to read PDU
information for handover. Move the definitions to a header to reuse
later.
HandoverPreparationInformation will be used in the follow-up commit to
trigger a handover.

This F1 message sends us the CellGroupConfig of the UE. Store it in case
we need it. For instance, at least in OAI, it is possible to make a
handover without a DRB (this might or might not be standard compliant).
However, in this case, we did never receive a UE context setup request,
which stores the CellGroupConfig. Hence, store the first CellGroupConfig
we receive, to be able to do e.g., handover.
RETURN_IF_INVALID_ASSOC_ID() checks if an assoc_id (of a DU) is valid.
It will be also used in the mobility RRC module later. Move it to the DU
header (where it logically belongs) to move it from there.
Prior to this commit, after RA failure, the DU would send a UE context
release complete, without actually requesting one. This could lead to
inconsistent state between DU and CU, because the CU might just discard
this (unrequested) message, and not actually trigger a release [1].
Thus, refactor the release request into a function, and use it to
request release of a UE for which RA has not been completed. If the CU
does not know the UE, release the UE immediately.
[1] One possibility would be that during reestablishment, the CU would
request to look up an old DU UE ID when it has been released, resulting
in

In handover, we might need to remove a UE that we knew under it's

by RNTI, remove it also from RA.

Bugfix in ue pusch mac pdu creation
When more than one sdu with equal priority is present, there could be
buffer left after serving the lcids and also not enough to equally serve
all lcids. This commit checks for this condition. Before this fix the ue
would send malformed mac pdus when serving multiple lcids.
See getopt(3): returns int, so store it in an int variable.
I went through all occurrences, project-wide. All return values of
getopt() should be stored in ints now.

CI: Update RAN-gNB-N300-Timing-Phytest-LDPC test cases
- update enc/decoder tests in RAN-gNB-N300-Timing-Phytest-LDPC - test
only for given SNR value (check of the test results to be added in the
following MR)
- add cores to Tpool in the nr_dlsim test cases, currently we test with
only one core
- always execute all the nr_ulsim/nr_dlsim tests, even if one of them
fails
- add new nr_dlsim test cases - test with 4 antennas, 2 layers
Refactor file descriptor handling in rfsimulator
- add hashtable iterator to hashtable.c
- use hashtable for file descriptor to buffer_t mapping in rfsimulator
This enables the use of file descriptors above 250. The linux file
descriptors can reach the value of FD_SETSIZE which could be e.g. 1024.
This is not an issue in most cases but if the UE or gNB process opens a
lot of file descriptors for other purposes we might see rfsimulator file
descriptors reach > 250 and cause a segfault.
Also added tests for new hashtable functions.
Instead of hardcoding to 0, instruct the GTP module to send N3 GTP
packets with the right GTP.
We currently only support one QoS Flow, so check that it is really only
one.
When more than one sdu with equal priority is present, there could be
buffer left after serving the lcids and also not enough for equaly
serving all lcids. This commit checks for this condition. Before this
fix the ue would send malformed mac pdus when serving multiple lcids.
After RA, in the case of HO, we need to make sure to use the right radio
configuration (MCS table, etc). This commit is important to make HO
actually work.
Our initial CellGroupConfig always contains LCID1, because in normal
connection setup, the DU has to automatically set it up anyway. In
handover/UE Context Setup, the CU requests to set up SRB1 (which we
assume to be LCID1), but we reuse the initial CellGroupConfig. To not
have SRB1 added twice, skip in this case.
This commit implements adding a new UE on the target DU in case of
handover. We identify this case by the fact that the gNB-CU did not send
a gNB-DU UE ID (which is optional in F1AP, but not in our
implementation), such that we know there is no corresponding UE, which
therefore has to be created.
If it happens that there is a handover preparation information, we read
the UE capabilities from this information, and subsequently trigger the
creation of a new UE.
Another change is that for all bearers that we are asked to setup, we
add reestablishRLC so that the UE does a reestablishment during the
reconfiguration.
As we have to remove the reconfigurationWithSync and reestablishRLC IE
after application of the CellGroupConfig (because we might reuse the
CellGroupConfig later), free these IEs. As there are now multiple fields
to free, introduce a separate nr_mac_clean_cellgroup() function that
handles cleaning of the CellGroupConfig.

The next commit will modify the UE context setup request procedure to
(possibly) receive UE capabilities through Handover Preparation
Information, which extracts the UE capabilities for the UE to be setup.
To avoid code duplication, extract the code that will be needed in UE
capability extraction from Handover Preparation Information.
Implement the Transmission Action Indicator F1AP forwarding logic, and
add it to the F1 internal representation structure. After the

Refactor the RRC processing timer to be a generic "transmission
interrupt" timer, and use NR_timer_t for it. Also,
depending on the kind of RRC processing (see 38.331 table 12.1-1),
timing requirements might be different. However, the DU does not always
know which RRC processing is ongoing, and does not get this information
via F1. Hence, introduce a "worst case" delay time, which aligns with
the spec (it says these times are "minima") and is accepted by COTS UE.
The gNB MAC might need to stop transmission either for some time (RRC
processing), or continuously (transmission stop requested by CU). Those
can be handled in one common timer implementation. The continuous case
will be used in a follow-up commit.

When running, nr_psbchsim, we get this UBsan error:

The problem is that the corresponding definition of
get_nrUE_params() in psbchsim.c does not actually return the UE params,
but void, so we might or might not get something that resembles valid
data in nr_adjust_synch_ue.c. Fix this by including nr-uesoftmodem.h
(that provides the correct declaration) and define it correctly. Due to
type mismatches, also adapt downlink_frequency, uplink_frequency_offset,
and openair_cfg (which might result in the same type of bugs).
This adds DTX detection in PUCCH 2 receiver. This is detected by MAC
already which will drop PUCCH 2 indications that are detected as DTX.
For the moment this uses the same pucch0_dtx_threshold value indicated

unnecessary logging on stdout and the use of invalid CSI measurements in
the MAC scheduler.

Introduce two tests for NR RLC AM entity:
- test_nr_rlc_am_entity
- benchmark_nr_rlc_am_entity
The benchmark can be used to verify processing time improvements for NR RLC AM
entity. The benchmark creates two entities and creates an unbalanced
communication channel between them with 10% loss packet loss and 100:1 PDU sent
ratio. This allows the lists in RLC to build up and triggers RLC AM code
related to looking through the segment/pdu lists.

This changes the way T_IDs are defined. The T_ID macro was using a

Removing the type cast reenables the compiler optimizations.

(I interpret this as "do not set up AS security again")
In this commit, handle if we receive an Initial Context Setup Request
for an existing UE context. As said in the spec, we store the keys. If
security is not active, we trigger RRC Security Mode Command. If it is
active, we skip Security, and directly set up a PDU session. If there is
also no PDU session, we simply forward the NAS message, and acknowledge.
If there was no AS security, after security, the gNB would trigger the
setup of PDU sessions (if any), and then forward any NAS PDUs, which is
stated in the if block if AS security is already active.

Since long long is the bigger type ( 8 bytes ) of the two used ( long long and uint32_t ),
and long long is also available on ARM, change this parameter to always have this type.
This allows to always use format specifier '%lld' in the logs that use TICK_TO_US, which would otherwise return long long or uint32_t depending on architecture.
Set a maximum SNR value using the "-S" option to ensure that nr_dlsim

3GPP 38.331: If absent, the UE applies the SCS as derived from the prach-ConfigurationIndex in RACH-ConfigGeneric (see tables Table 6.3.3.1-1, Table 6.3.3.1-2, Table 6.3.3.2-2 and Table 6.3.3.2-3, TS 38.211 [16]).
This procedure for msg1_SubcarrierSpacing NULL is not implemented, so we aplly the same value of UL SCS.
Introduce CMakePresests.json which is a simple way to perform incremental build using cmake
New configure resets were added:
- default: Configure compilation with default options
- tests: Same as above but ENABLE_TESTS and SANITIZE_ADDRESS is ON
New build presets were added:
- 5gdefault: Build the software for NR rfsimulator test
- default: same as 5gdefault
- 4gdefault: Build the software for LTE rfsimulator test
- tests: build all unit tests
To configure using configuration preset:
`cmake --preset <preset_name>`
To build using a build preset:
`cmake --build --preset <preset_name>`
Modify the UL/DL UDP iperf test cases to use a higher requested bitrate
for the scenario with 100 MHz bandwidth in the SA-2x2 pipeline. Adjust
gNB config file to allow for higher UL throughput.
Resolve error:
nfapi/oai_integration/aerial/fapi_nvIPC.h:56:16: error: unknown type name ‘nvipc_params_t’
56 | int nvIPC_Init(nvipc_params_t nvipc_params_s);
By including the header. Also, move the definiton of the struct to the
MAC, where it is actually stored, and out of the radio common_lib.h,
since this is not a radio (split 7/8) parameter.
When compiling aerial, we compile without CUDA support (see e.g.,
docker/Dockerfile.gNB.aerial.ubuntu22). Hence, do not check for it in
aerial for the moment, we won't use it for the foreseeable future.
In Aerial bindings (FAPI-Aerial), the NFAPI mode must be
NFAPI_MODE_AERIAL (otherwise, we would not be executing this code).
Hence, the switches don't make sense. Remove them.
The check can more easily be checked with
git show <commit> --ignore-all-space
As is visible at the top of the patch, for compiling aerial_lib (the
binding FAPI-Aerial), we always add ENABLE_AERIAL. Thus, all the code
within ENABLE_AERIAL will be compiled; we can also simply take it out.
We can directly read from buffers, so the memcpy() only takes time.
Also, limit the scope of the variables for the unpacking of
RX_DATA.indication.

These functions look up the numerology, and code can be harmonized:
- ssb_index_from_prach()
- find_SSB_and_RO_available()
- schedule_nr_prach()
The next commits also need to look up the numerology from the
UplinkConfigCommon. This provides the common implementation to be used
in follow-up commits.

the code creates a sink to read all traced packets and drop it. but
this works only if we send to a local address and if there is not
another sink (like if we trace both UE and gNB in the same machine).
this sink's purpose is only to prevent to get automatic packets back
from the kernel saying "no listener". So, instead of killing the trace
when we can't create the sink (as done previously), we now just let the
trace in operation.

It can happen that L1 gives us a TB that we interpret as receiving UL
MAC TB with LCID "UL_SCH_LCID_CCCH1". This might or might not be
correct, but currently, we observe segfaults when trying to encode the
cellgroup in send_initial_ul_rrc_message() (encode_cellGroupConfig()).
This fix prevents a segfault by not delivering a MAC SDU to RLC if CCCH
is already present. Note that in some cases, this could still happen,
e.g. Resume Request. However, we don't support this message, so ignore
it for the moment.
This fix enables a gNB to operate continuously for extended periods
(days), which is essential for real deployment scenarios.
Closes: #756
The test was actually never executed correctly (unsigned -10 is never <= 10), and log2_approx64_ref() was not accurate enough.
Therefore replace it by directly comparing one value above and one value below each rounding boundary.
To skip the test, we use the gtest command line parameter "--gtest_filter" to filter out the unwanted test.
This parameter is described as follows:
--gtest_filter=POSITIVE_PATTERNS[-NEGATIVE_PATTERNS]
Run only the tests whose name matches one of the positive patterns but
none of the negative patterns. '?' matches any single character; '*'
matches any substring; ':' separates two patterns.
In this pipeline, we frequently see losses of a single packet; we did
not find the true reason yet.
Accept 5% losses, assuming that serious packet loss would be catched by
(1) higher ping losses (2) iperf would be affected.
This commit refactors startServer to use getaddrinfo() to
prepare the socket creation. Doing so, it also adds support for
IPv6 by using AF_UNSPEC as the address family.
This commits uses getaddrinfo(3) when connecting as client to the
rfsimulator. This enables name lookups, through DNS or a hosts file.
This change makes it easier to use the simulator in a dynamic
environment like Docker or Kubernetes by only targeting the name of
the container or service.
Move h_b_f_c (or SRS power control adjustment state) to UL BWP structure. This is a per
bwp parameter so it makes sense to make its lifetime the same as BWP, even if we dont support
>1 UL BWPs.
the create_workspace.sh script checks if a branch should be merged into
what we are trying to checkount (i.e., typically develop into
feature-branch). The problem is that it uses a short-hand for an if
branch.
[ -n "${merge}"] && git merge...
If we don't request a merge, [ -n XX ] will evalute to 1, and not do the
git merge. Since it's the last command in the script, this makes the
script return 1 (failure), when it actually succeeded.
Add exit 0 to ensure we return 0 after successful end of the script. If
there is a failure, the script will terminate early. It can be tested by
e.g., giving a wrong commit ID.

Add a new scope data source (ueTimeDomainSamples) which provides time domain samples
for antenna 0 to the scope. Add graphical representation of the data in imscope.
Removed C-define from ENABLE_IMSCOPE cmake option, the #define was unused and this way
code does not have to be recompiled when imscope enable state changes.
Currently, NR PDCP ticks are active only with monolithic gNB, triggered by the MAC scheduler in gNB_scheduler.c.
In F1 split mode, as there is no MAC, there’s no source to advance the NR PDCP timer via "nr_pdcp_wakeup_timer_thread()".
This commit introduces a dedicated thread for NR PDCP ticks in gNB-CU and CU-UP mode.
Without it, packet losses at the F1 uplink would cause indefinite buffering, as t-Reordering won't expire due to the lack of NR PDCP timer ticks.
Use a script, which can be tested independently of CI code (by running
it on the host on which it will be used), and print the directory that
has been prepared in the HTML. Also, in the description, use the
infinitive/imperative(?) of the verb to harmonize with other steps.
A lot of CI code is python mixed with bash, e.g.,
ssh = getConnection(host)
ssh.run('ls')
ssh.run('echo')
At least some of this CI code would benefit if it was written in a
simple bash script, returning error codes and potentially other
information either through stdout/stderr or files, to the calling Python
code:
ssh = runScript(host, script)
# script does: ls; echo
This commit introduces the possibility to run entire scripts. The idea
is that the executor has a script (on localhost), which is either
executed locally or on a remote host. For the remote host, the script is
not copied but piped into a remotely executed bash. In both cases,
output is either returned like the Cmd.run() function with returncode
and mixed stdout/stderr, or optionally redirected into a file on the
(remote) host, which can be treated further by the Python code in later
steps.
This reimplements the CI deployment functions, and makes them a bit more
robust. Concretely:
- Introduce a generic "deployment tag" option that can be used to
override the tag to use for specific images. By default, it is the
current "branch-commitID[0:8]" tag name (requires the change from
function ImageTagToUse() to CreateTag(), impacting also pull/push
image functions)
- Avoid sed for image names, and use an .env file that docker-compose
picks up automatically; the deployment analyzes a potentially existing
.env file and updates instead of simply overriding. For instance, some
pipelines might use -asan images for the gNB and "normal" (non-asan)
images for UE, and a simple overwriting might make the -asan image
name tag disappear for the gNB, resulting in deployment failures).
Finally, undeployment removes the .env file, so that there are no
modifications in the repository after undeployment.
- Redo the previous behavior of autodetecting asan, and use that (the
current function always uses asan, no matter what)
- Remove deployKind/displayedNewTags globals, as they are not necessary
- Make the usedImage output in HTML slimmer
- On undeployment, print service names next to undeploy analysis, and
return success/failure.
- Make the functions generally less verbose and easier to read
Note that as of and only in this commit, deployment does not work, as
all the YAML files have not been updated to work with this updated
version. The next commit adds tests for the new deployment, and updates
one YAML file (also being used in the tests). The follow-up commit then
modifies all YAML files.
The BuildeNB steps either does things that are already implemented
(created workspace), or things that we don't use (separate build_wait),
and is generally quite convoluted when all it does is calling build_oai.
Reimplement by reusing Create_Workspace, and make build_oai in a single
step. To clean up, make a new module in which this function does not
need a class instantiation. Instead, we give all necessary parameters
directly.
The next commit will use "echo -e". The problem with that is that bash
and sh differ:
- in bash: this results in "a\nb" (a+newline+b)
- in sh: this results in -e a\nb (-e a+newline+b)
The problem is that by default, commands are executed through sh, which
nobody expects. Change to bash, which is likely more aligned with what
people want to use.
After the previous commit, the CI will always do an undeployment step
even if the CI failed. Hence, these XMLs are not necessary anymore. Some
XMLs are updated to do what their "cleanup XML" counterparts did, such
as removing additional images.
Use the previous commit on returning success from each task execution
function, and implement handling of errors in the main loop. Add a
script with which this is visible using Custom_Commands.
For reasons I don't understand, the XML option reading and actual test
case execution are at different places in the code. This is problematic,
because what this led to is that options are not passed as function
arguments, but indirectly through class members. This led to a lot of
"indirect code"; it's a total mess
To improve this, move them together, so that parameters can be passed
directly as function arguments later on.
Because we reference the globals, mark them inside
ExecuteActionWithParam(). That is a Python antipattern, but necessary at
this moment. I believe that we can remove the following globals over
time:
- SSH (with new cls_cmd, which we don't need to pass)
- EPC (replaced through a class similar to ue_module, i.e., refer to
core networks on specific hosts through an ID, instead of a global)
- HTML (should use templating, where individual functions give back a
dictionary of what they want to print, and a final pass assembles the
entire HTML file)
- RAN/SCA/PHYSIM/CLUSTER/ldpc (can be replaced with stateless scripts
build/run eNB/gNB on a specific node)
Update the regex for both sender and receiver data to allow optional
bitrate unit prefixes - accepts also no prefix. Modify the patterns for
lost and total packets to accept negative values (`-?\d+`).
Add some basic unit tests to verify that Iperf/Ping work. Harmonize the
logging by only print in the "main" iperf/ping function, to avoid that
if we test with multiple UEs, the output intermixes. Also, do one common
mkdir before starting multiple pings/iperfs. Finally, harmonize the
paths so that Iperf and Ping log their files in the same place.

Experiments did show that the time sync is less stable in terrestrial mode if the integral part of the PI controller is used.
So set it to 0.0 by default. For NTN LEO use case we can still use it by providing the command line parameter --time-sync-I 0.2 .

* _F1_EQ_CHECK_GENERIC can be used to check the equality of two different members of F1AP structs
and return `false` if the condition is not met.
When the condition fails, the macros will print a debug message to the standard error stream,
including the function name, line number, and the provided format string and arguments.
Add a new target f1ap_lib that groups F1AP ASN.1 encoding&decoding for
messages defined f1ap_messages_types.h. The objective is to, for each
F1AP message,
- add encoder&decoder (similar to what already exists, but without
mandatory message sending afterwards)
- eq_X() function that checks two messages for equality (to be used
mostly in tests)
- cp_X() function that deep-copies a message, e.g., to be used when
sending ITTI messages, instead of manual copying done currently
- free_X() function that frees the memory associated to a memory, to
avoid memory leaks.
Each message will be tested, notably that encoding&decoding as well as
copying yield identical messages.
The actual message encoding & decoding, tests, and their use will be
done in the forthcoming commits.
The currently used type does not cover all possibilities. While we don't
encode&decode them, it might still be good to be able to express it, so
introduce the new type.

The default values set by xran for DPDK socket memory/limit is 8192. It
is changed when the variable for the memory size, given down to xran, is
non-zero (cf also previous patch). Since the last patch, if nothing is
given in OAI configuration, OAI will pass down a size of 8192. However,
a configuration value of 0 is a valid choice (it is a pre-allocation,
DPDK will allocate dynamically), so modify the default in xran to be 0
so that all sizes, including 0, can be given to DPDK.
Note that the currently used implementation of xran will always try to
allocate this memory on NUMA node 0. If you want to use another one,
this field has to be set to 0 (no pre-allocation), and DPDK will
allocate it dynamically.

xran has a mechanism to request DPDK to allocate a configurable amount
of bytes for huge pages. We set it to 0 until now; expose this variable
through configuration, and provide a meaningful default 8192 MiB.

./run_tests.sh was not functional anymore because of the introduction
of AssertFatal() in nr_rlc_entity.c
Including the .h and providing exit_function() solves the problem.
Some people needed that.
Let's stop to 19 for the time being. It's tricky enough.
We can increase later if needed. (A previous commit
made the tracers to accept up to 32 variables.)
T_MAX_ARGS was 16 and some people start to use the T machinery with
more than 16 values. So be it. Let tracers be friendly and accept 32.
(More commits to follow for full support.)
Also why is T_MAX_ARGS in T_defs.h when it's only used by event.h?
Hum?
The F1AP UE context release procedure can happen in at least two cases:
1. core requested a release of a UE
2. CU requests DU a release of a UE without a core release (e.g.,
handover)
In case 1., the CU has to fully release the UE in the CU, then ack the
NGAP message from the core, whilst in 2., nothing of that should happen
after the DU acknowledges the F1AP UE context release cmd.
cuup_notify_reestablishment() used
&ue_p->established_drbs[drb_id]
to look up a bearer, which is wrong, because it should be drb_id - 1
as in the top of the loop. Also, it used the dedicated get_drb()
function; harmonize to use only this function.
A follow-up commit refactors the filling of information of DRBs to set
up in a separate function (to be reused for handover later). Hence, we
cannot store the DRB TEID/address in the same functions, because it is
a logically separate step, and might not always be available.
In e1_send_bearer_updates(), we send the DL (DU) TEID and address to the
CU-UP. Therefore, correct the variable names to reflect that the F1-U
information pertains to the DU.
Also, move the tunnel info update function f1u_dl_gtp_update() to a more
prominent place, and take the pointer to the struct containing the
"interesting" information.
A maximum RRC buffer size of 1024 might be very small. We should
increase it, but then the 5G RRC_BUF_SIZE does conflict with other
definitions. To make it unique, also rename to NR_RRC_BUF_SIZE.
Always set the firstActive and defaultBWP in the initial
cellGroupConfig. This is necessary to make the Quectel accept the
handover RRCReconfiguration; it seems that this also works reliably in
normal connection set up, so we can add it.
Pass consistently the NR_timer_t object through a pointer. Since we have
to modify all occurrences of is_nr_timer_active(), we use that occasion
and rename that function to nr_timer_is_active() to make it consistent
with all other functions, starting with nr_timer.
Reorganize the sequence of checks done in reestablishment to make it
more logical:
- check conditions of request (correct C-RNTI)
- check conditions of DU (has MIB/SIB1, MTC)
- check the UE, and from which DU it comes
This will also help to extend it towards reestablishment coming from
different DUs in the case of handover.
Before this bug fix, when using F1, we get this warning:
Constraint validation failed: LCID: constraint failed (/home/richie/openairinterface5g/cmake_targets/ran_build/build/openair2/F1AP/MESSAGES/F1AP_LCID.c:30)
This is because (1) we don't actually store the LCID, then (2) we did
not put it into the F1 ASN.1 structures. Fix both, to make this warning
disappear.
To actually print the full error message, increase the error buffer
size. Also, for the future, to avoid guessing, print ASN.1 XML when we
encounter a failed constraint validation.
It can happen that SCTP communication is simply lost, e.g.
[SCTP] SCTP_ASSOC_CHANGE to SCTP_COMM_LOST
[SCTP] sctp_recvmsg (fd 104, len -1 ): Connection reset by peer:104
The previous code only handled the SHUTDOWN event, but in abnormal
situations, we should also handle the connection state change and signal
to RRC that the endpoint is dead, which is now implemented.
User of the SCTP module use the assoc_id for connection identification.
The previous code set the assoc_id to -1, so there is no way of telling
which connection broke. Use the assoc_id instead
The failure mode observed here was that the CU sent a release command
for a UE that the DU does not know. Given, that the outcome of the
release command (no UE) is equal to the current state (no UE), from
the DU point of view, we can safely ack the command.
This is a temporary workaround for issue with UE PHY not applying TX power
instructions from MAC. To be reverted once implementation of TX gain control
is finished.
This commit adds yaml-cpp library to required docker images and build commands. There is one workaround
in cross-compilation for apt behavior for installing libyaml-cpp-dev. Apt will uninistall previous
versions of the package whenever another one is installed. This means that installing the arm version
breaks amd version and vice versa. This makes it impossible to have both libs installed at the same
time which is required by the cross-compilation build command (it calls cmake twice, once with native
and once with target architecture)
This commit introduces a substitute module library for setting up softmodems using YAML instead of libconfig.
The softmodems should work the same with both types of files. Extra care was put to make sure the behavior
of both modules is the same.
Example yaml config files were added for the UE and gNB
pdschRxdataF_comp data source was handled incorrectly. Each symbol entire slot data was copied. This
caused pdschRxdataF_comp to mostly contain zeros. The call to UEscopeCopy was moved from symbol loop
into last symbol processing. In case imscope is used padding and unused REs are not copied to the
sink.
Added checks inside scope functions to ensure correct functionality.
A new phy scope based on ImGui and ImPlot. This scope uses a different concurrency model than previous
scopes.
The PHY thread writing the data first checks if the data is ready to be written. If its not, nothing is copied.
The GUI thread reads data if available and marks it ready to write. This makes sure that the PHY threads are not
busy copying data that would never be displayed.
Some of the scopes also have a freeze functionality that further limit the amount of data that needs to be copied
from PHY threads. If a scope is "frozen" it still allows the user to explore the data using plots zoom/pan functions
but doesn't cause PHY threads to perform extra writes on the displayed data.
A compile option was added to enable/disable the scope. Use cmake -DENABLE_IMSCOPE=ON to enable the scope.
Update CXX standard to 17; it is required by some libraries (e.g., dear imgui). The oldest gcc version in
use by a distribution supported is Ubuntu 20, which has gcc 9.4 with c++17 support.
According to the ThreadPoolExecutor documentation [1], the default
number of maximum workers min(32, os.cpu_count() + 4). The problem is
that we execute many pipelines from nano, on which os.cpu_count()
reports 4, so we can only have up to 8 concurrent workers by default.
This leads to the fact that on pipelines with many UEs (e.g.,
AW2S-AmariUE), we don't ping/iperf on all UEs at the same time.
Fix this by increasing the number of workers to 64. This should be fine,
as there is almost no real work being done in the Workers (only opening
a shell and execute programs such as ping/iperf).

Create_Workspace is used used in XML files instead of directly being
executed in DeployObject(). This can be problematic if we deploy
multiple services on the same host, since a previous workspace will be
deleted. Also, it removes futile git clones.
There are other XML steps (CppCheckAnalysis, LicenceAndFormattingCheck,
BuildImage, BuildProxy, BuildClusterImage) that implicitly called
Create_Workspace. Those calls have been removed and care has been taken
to insert the corresponding Create_Workspace steps in the XML.
There was concern that someone in the future might call the function
with the wrong inputs. So, based on the discussion on the MR below

now done with plain C (no SIMD).
The execution time for the function dmrs_amp_mult() in this commit is
10x higher that the previous commit.
It is better to write to memory that are grouped together to reduce
probability of cache miss. This simple change improved the function's
execution speed by 70%.
Removed the unnecessary memset for the buffer.

At least in Eurecom, there are no RHEL 7/CentOS 7+8 servers. Existing
installations will work, but we don't want to encourage people to use
these old distributions, so remove it. Also, they reached EOL
Add CentOS stream as an alternative.
In the past, it seemed that we had to add a trailing slash (/) after the
OpenShift Registry URI. Now, at least on the CI machine matix, this
makes it fail:
INFO: oc whoami -t | docker login -u oaicicd --password-stdin default-route-openshift-image-registry.apps.oai.cs.eurecom.fr/
INFO: docker pull default-route-openshift-image-registry.apps.oai.cs.eurecom.fr/oaicicd-ran/oai-gnb:develop-46a1d2a6

Remove the trailing slash makes it work, like so:

It is very possible that the operating system returns a file
descriptor bigger than the size of bridge->buf (MAX_FD_RFSIMU, which
is 250 as of now). As a minimum, let's fail if the socket file
descriptor is out of bounds.
A proper solution may be implemented later, if needed.

Before this commit, the following will trigger a complete rebuild:
- create another git name (git checkout -b test)
- run cmake again manually (cmake ..)
- run ninja again
The top-level CMakeLists.txt uses add_definitions() to add git
information to all targets; if some git information changes, this will
mark all command lines as dirty, triggering the build.
There is an easy solution: instead of passing this information on the
command line, pass it in a header. This commit uses configure_file() to
generate a file oai_version.h in the build directory with the same
information. Various sources files, e.g., main executables, use this to
output the same information as before. It is then also not necessary to
use header guards, as cmake takes care to create this file.
If cmake is re-run, it will update the header, and trigger only files
including this header will be rebuilt (which can be shown with the above
stpes). The information passed is the same as before, and updates the
information when the old method would have updated it.
This commit introduces google benchmark library and one benchmark for
rotate_cpx_vector. Also extracted common tools used in testcases for
generation and allocation of byte aligned vectors in phy_test_tools.hpp

The correct order for xran seems to be first Uplane, then C plane. In
the past, we used to switch (for reasons I don't know), but let's
reverse it to the proper order.
* place all NR UE CL optional options in the same section, in a table
* add a section for common CL options
* add subsection for UE capabilities
* removed redundant text
Bypass UE log analysis when testing sidelink, as it fails due to the absence
of expected information and patterns (not present in sidelink communication).
Instead, a custom command is used to verify the success of sidelink tests by
checking for the presence of "PSBCH RX:OK" in the log of the second UE.
As we don't have SIB19 with continuously updated ta-Common and ta-CommonDrift values yet, the UE can only adapt it's UL timing according to it's DL drift.
This is required for the UE to keep UL sync with fast time drift and relatively long RTT (e.g. LEO satellite).
We should replace this with the standard compliant way as soon as we have SIB19 with continuously updated contents.
This commit resolves undefined behaviour runtime errors related
to misaligned memory access. E.g.
> openair3/NAS/COMMON/IES/FGSMobileIdentity.c:193:3:
> runtime error: store to misaligned address 0x608000021e2b for type 'uint16_t',
> which requires 2 byte alignment 0x608000021e2b: note: pointer points here 00 f1 ...
* ENCODE_U24: safely encode 24-bit values into a buffer
by using memcpy to copy 3 bytes in network byte order (big-endian).
* ENCODE_U16: safely encodes a 16-bit value into a buffer, handling
misalignment by memcpy 2 bytes to buffer in network byte order (big-endian).
- Save nas instance id in nr_ue_nas_t and use that for instance determination.
- Use correct field in itti message (destinationInstance instead of originInstance) to determine instance
- Make sure both destinationInstance and originInstance fields are correct in NAS interface functions.
While we don't have SIB19 support yet, UE gets this parameter from command line, just like --ntn-koffset and --ntn-ta-common.
We use this value to initialize the UE's time-tracking PI controller accumulator.
This allows to correctly track the time even if the delay is changing significantly (e.g. due to LEO satellite movement).
We also use it to compensate for the time drift that happenes while performing the initial sync.
This now allows to indicate "there was a new sampleShift calculation, and the actual value is 0"
additionally to "there was no new sampleShift calculation".

For 256qam this also fixes incorrect llr calculation on arm: the existing AVX code for 2 REs
case produced results not in line with the rest of the code. A testcase check_2_res_256_qam was
added to visualise the differences which can later be used to revive AVX acceleration for 2REs case.

Create directories for gNB deployment with VVDN and Benetel550 RUs.
Each directory includes scripts for setting up and cleaning up the
host machine running the gNB.
Handle IPv6 (and IPv4v6) PDU sessions by correctly instructing
nas_config() to set up the interface with provided IP addresses.
Note that as of now, IPv6 PDU sessions have not been fully tested.
Remove a useless assert at the gNB; to my understanding the gNB does not
care about the IP session type (at least for IP), as it just
transparently tunnels the IP packets from/to GTP.
I added a comment in the code where to change to request a PDU session
different from IPv4. Currently it is hardcoded to IPv4, and it seems
that a default OAI 5GC config would reject a PDU session type different
from IPv4.
- Read interface flags before setting status to not inadvertently
overwrite existing flags
- Set interface flag point-to-point, remove multicast (I think a UE is
not supposed to send anywhere else than to the UPF, so it seems to not
make sense to declare the interface as multicast)
These rules & route are necessary to properly send packets on oaitun_ue1
interface:
1. This forces the packets coming from a subnet different than the UE's
subnet to go back through oaitun_ue1 rather than via what the default
route defined on the system (e.g., important if ping from the
internet arrives).
2. On machines setting net.ipv4.conf.oaitun_ue1.rp_filter=1 (e.g.
RHEL), this prevents that source filtering for packets coming back is
applied and those packets be dropped. By default, many hosts have
rp_filter=2, so no strict source filtering is applied, and it would
work; on others, this rule prevents source filter dropping.
Prior to this commit, there was a global variable baseNetAddress that
could be set independently through a setter and also through the
configuration module. This baseNetAddress (16 bits IPv4) would then be
complemented with two more bytes in nas_config().
However, this is counter-productive, as not only we have a global
variable that is avoidable (we can give the entire address to
nas_config() directly), but it also would not work with IPv6. Hence,
modify to give nas_config() the entire address. A follow-up commit will
add IPv6 support.
- refactor functions to make them shorter
- provide doxygen strings
- open socket for operation once instead of in each function
- use named constant (from enum) to differentiate interface UP/DOWN
- Linux kernel defines name length as IFNAM_SIZE, so use that for
interface name length. Also, it seems no null-byte is needed.
I initially planned to entirely remove the netmask configuration.
However, in specific configurations, e.g. in 4G Rfsim with feMBMS,
routing does not seem to work anymore using these commands:
iperf -B 10.0.2.2 -s -u -i1
iperf -c 10.0.2.2 -B 10.0.2.1 -u -t 30 -b 2.00M -i1
Therefore, we simplify by hardcoding the netmask to /24, which allows
the above to work.
Remove the broadcast address from the UE, as logically, a UE has nothing
to broadcast: it can only directly talk to the core. Additionally, at
least as of now, the UE interface is shown as "POINTOPOINT", so
broadcasting is not possible.
Does the same change in the _mbms() functions as in the previous commit.
Also, simplify logic in netlink_init_mbms_tun(): directly use the id in
the interface. This requires a slight ID change in the users, which is
also done in this commit.
Instead of implicitly using a hardcoded prefix "oaitun_" interface
name, move that out to the callers of these functions to make it clear.
The ID still remains outside.
The "sister functions" nas_config_mbms()/netlink_init_tun_mbms() will do
the same change in the next commit.
Comparing both functions, it seems that nas_config_mbms_s1() sets the
same parameters, assuming that in nas_config_mbms(), we set
- (UE_NAS_USE_TUN || ENB_NAS_USE_TUN) yielding true -> should yield the
same interface name
- netmask is hardcoded to 255.255.255.0
- baseNetAddress is hardcoded 10.0
So replace the call with nas_config_mbms() by setting parameters
accordingly.
- Remove unused NAS_config(): It does most of what the highly similar
nas_config() does.
- Remove unused set_gateway()
- Remove unused blocking_NAS_config()
- Remove unused functions getNetMask()
- Remove unused broadcast functionality: functions setBroadcastAddress()
and getBroadcastAddress(), as well as global variable broadcastAddr
are not used in consumers. Remove it.
- Make functions static
I don't know about any user of the kernel modules. It is effectively
legacy code we carry around, for no good reason. Remove it for the
moment. If we ever need it, we can revert.
Remove netlink code, and the PDCP_USE_NETLINK macro, as there is no
known use, it makes the code more complicated, and is simply "technical
debt".
In 4G PDCP, a subtle change has been introduced, in pdcp_module_init()
of pdcp.c. Looking at the diff of this commit, it can be seen that there
is now a new "else-if (ENB_NAS_USE_TUN_W_MBMS_BIT)" branch that is under
what was the "if (PDCP_USE_NETLINK)" branch, while the code fragment was
actually inside the "else" branch of PDCP_USE_NETLINK. This seems to be
necessary: previously, if we did not use noS1 mode and we don't use any
TUN (i.e., the eNB), the else block would set up this interface. It is
important that this interface is brought up, because if we omit it,
RFsim will not work. It seems to me that this interface will regularly
create some traffic; without it, RFsim will be blocked, and the UE
cannot connect.
In short, it seems to be important to have the MBMS interface, which
injects traffic in the RFsim side, which will unblock RFsim. The change
in pdcp_module_init() preserves the total changes of the if-else
(PDCP_USE_NETLINK).
Tests showed that we sometimes exceed the response window. In that case,
the UE cannot connect anymore, as do-ra uses contention-free RA, and
prefills a RA process. Avoid this by giving more time in the CI test.
Remove function pointers that were used in the past to implement the
F1(-U) interface in 4G, i.e., to have different functions to handle
split/monolithic operations. As we don't have F1 in 4G anymore (see
commit 9dc2282249), we don't need the
function pointers anymore.
On that occasion, rename the 5G functions by prepending nr_ to them;
this allows to refactor the interface in 5G further (which is not the
focus of this changeset).

However, avoid resetting UE states in phy_test: it has preconfigured UE
which we should not reset. Note that if NSA/phy-test used F1, we could
likely reset the UE state here, as the F1 UE context setup would come
afterwards.
Add gold sequence cache with dynamic size, private to each thread. It
periodically reorders by call rate. To free the gold sequences after end
of life time of a thread, use the pthread API.
This assert and assumption is incorrect, according to 38.101-1 UE channel is defined only by the BWP size
and BWP size can be any value supported by the RRC parameters defining the BWP.
To determine the UE channel the smallest bandwidth supporting the BWP is selected. This is an assumption based
on references in the same document to UE channel bandwidth being equal to one of the values in set
{5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100}.
Also:

OAI 5GC seems to have a bug, and occasionally might send a PDU session
setup request without having sent a UE context setup request, resulting

To prevent the gNB from stopping, check if security is active before
triggering PDU sessions. If not, the gNB will reject PDU sessions.

sched_ul_bytes is reduced already in case the last HARQ round fails through handle_nr_ul_harq() -> abort_nr_ul_harq().
Therefore, the reduction in nr_rx_sdu() is wrong, and btw. it wrongly assumes the max. UL HARQ rounds to 4.
So simply remove this peace of code in nr_rx_sdu().
sched_ul_bytes tracks the volume of in-flight data.
When data is successfully received, sched_ul_bytes is decreased in nr_rx_sdu().
In case of reusing HARQ processes, the tb_size stored there is not correct.

In NSA, the RA process contains the RNTI of the UE to add. The previous
implementation would not remove the RNTI in NSA/for CFRA, which is
unclear (why should it stay? RA is over). Also, we did not clear all
contents, which masked a bug, as we were reusing an RA process for a
subsequent attach, leading to a segfault on reattach. That is fixed in
this commit.
Also, we were using the RA structure after having cleared it in
_nr_rx_sdu(), which semantically makes no sense.
To harmonize handling of the preambles: completely reset the RA
processes inside nr_clear_ra_proc(). For SA, also add the initialization
of allowed preambles.
Finally, this commit fixes a memory leak: we always (also in SA) fill a
list of preambles in a dynamically allocated preamble list. Since the
total list is only up to 64 preambles of 1B each, put it directly into
the struct instead of dynamically allocating it.
Remove the secondaryCellGroup variable in RRC, as it is not used there.
Note that in the case of F1, the secondaryCellGroup entirely belongs to
the DU, i.e., MAC. Also, we don't do anything with it in RRC.
NSA is quite verbose, some messages are large and it is not very
"interesting" for the average user. The logs can be enabled on demand,
or directly seen in Wireshark instead.
The RRC UE context has the RRC UE ID. Use that instead of hardcoding
something that might be wrong (because the RRC UE ID can be reused,
whereas the counter just blindly increases).
The next commit will use that RRC UE ID to free the PDCP context for the
UE. It might be wrong on reattach otherwise, because the RRC UE ID could
again be 1.

Simplify code by returning an allocated object to a CG_Config. It leads

It leads to less code and is easier to reason about, because each call

get_default_secondaryCellGroup() would "sanitize" the servingCellConfig,
i.e., remove BWP that are invalid. However, it is difficult to
understand (we can do sanitization once at the beginning) and reason
(why the servingCellConfig is modified in
get_default_secondaryCellGroup(), because all we want is a new
CellGroupConfig, without modifying other data structures).
Instead, do sanitization once after reading the configuration in
gnb_config.c. Also, modify physical simulators nr_dlsim and nr_ulsim to
apply this sanitization before a call to
get_default_secondaryCellGroup(), as the latter would have done the
sanitization.
This reverts commit 4c658cdd50.
This commit was introduce to signal a known segfault. The bug has been
fixed in the last commit, so this commit can be reverted as the
AssertFatal is not necessary anymore.
Prior to this commit, upon a release of a UE at the gNB in NSA, the gNB
fails with a segv. This is because the servingCellConfigCommon is used
in the reconfigurationWithSync (through a simple pointer). At the
release, the entire secondaryCellGroup is freed, leading to a free of
the servingCellConfigCommon. The gNB then tries to use it (e.g., for
looking up the numerology), and leading to a segv.
To avoid this problem, make a "deep copy" of the ServingCellConfigCommon
so that we can safely free the UEs secondaryCellGroup, without freeing
the initial ServingCellConfigCommon.
Switch to BWP where RA is configured, typically in the InitialBWP
At this point, MAC CE for C-RNTI received at gNB, UE already switched and triggered RA in that BWP, need to do BWP switching also at gNB for that C-RNTI

The actual propagation delay should not be smaller than the one specified.
A too short propagation delay might result in too early reception of Msg1, and with that in a mis-detection of the RAPID.
Until commit d74b2bd19f, the PSS detection step size was 4, anyways.
The PSS detection step size is a compromise between detection duration and accuracy.

A proper solution would be to link this function only once.
The total_length parameter in compute_PDU_Length being uint16_t causes
the passed value to be possibly truncated, which can cause the
PDU_Length to be incorrectly calculated.
This change prevents that truncation, since it now matches the size
of the values passed into the function where it is being called.

- Conditional library loading:
- On gNB: Load ldpc_t2 library if offload is enabled using the --ldpc-offload-enable flag.
- On UE: Load both ldpc_t2 and ldpc libraries since only encoder offload is supported.
- General cleanup of nrLDPC_decoder_offload.c for improved readability and maintainability.
- Modified the structure of LDPC encoder/decoder/offload parameters:
- Introduced a structure for code block (CB) related parameters.
- Removed parameter E from the encoder and offload parameter structures for clarity.
- Replaced E with perCB->E_cb in the UE encoder code.
This reverts a change in commit
ccba7c875d. There is no real reason to
show this warning (the gNB will work just fine, simply not schedule

Update instructions and CI for cross-compilation on Ubuntu 22.
Note that for the dockerfile, we use egrep -L which has changed and does
not exit with code 0 on no match. Instead, use -vqz to invert return
code (0 if nothing found, otherwise 1).
iperf2 2.0.13, used in Ubuntu 20, does not need a "back channel"; we can
therefore use it in feMBMS (which does a broadcast, without back
channel). Ubuntu 22 comes with 2.1.5, which seems to require a back
channel, or at least, we cannot use it reliably in feMBMS. Hence,
downgrade to older iperf2 version.

This updates all images in the CI to Ubuntu 22. It also updates
corresponding documentation. Remove python(2) from the image, as it is
not needed. Update documentation.
It seems that the gcc coming in Ubuntu 22 does not like
stack-protector-strong, so remove it as well.
Since we compile Flexric, which does not support Ubuntu 22's default
gcc-11 (it hits a compile bug), switch to gcc-12 manually.
Since we update the compiler, we also need to be careful to use the right
address sanitizer version (which is bundled with the compiler version).
To avoid a reinstallation of the wrong asan version in target images, we
modify Ubuntu 22 targets to copy libasan from the base image. This is necessary
since we use update-alternative in the base image, but we don't want to
install compilers in the target images to use update-alternatives to
install the right asan version... This should be undone when switching
to Ubuntu 24 in the future, as it will have a newer default gcc version,
such that we don't need to update the compile in the first place.
Upgrade libpython in lteUE for U22 upgrade to make it compatible with
UHD.
A number of warnings appear when compiling flexric with gcc-12, which we
use in the next commit. Those have been fixed upstream. Switch to the
updated version to avoid warnings.
It seems libatlas-base-dev provided an `enum CBLAS_TRANSPOSE`, but we
don't install it anymore. Now, in Ubuntu, there is only a typedef'd
version in cblas.h; for RHEL(-derivatives), the same typedef'd version
is in cblas/cblas.h.
Ubuntu 18.04 is now in "Extended Security Maintenance", but otherwise
gets no updates. Remove it from supported distributions (regarding
installing packages); users can of course still use it.
Users are encouraged to upgrade to Ubuntu 20+.
Apart from the obvious change of adding ubuntu24.04 to supported
distributions, we need to remove liblapacke-dev as it is incompatible
with libatlas3-base. Installing both aborts with:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
liblapacke : Breaks: libatlas3-base (< 3.10.3-14) but 3.10.3-13ubuntu1 is to be installed
It seems that we don't need it though, as liblapacke-dev installs the
right atlas library as a dependency.
Fix small issue noted when packing tlv value with tag 1 in which it would pack length*4 bytes, now calculated how many "segments" of 32 bits it needs to pack, same logic for unpacking tag value 1
Added missing support for packing/unpacking tag 0x001C (supportedMaxModulationOrderDl)
Now properly handles tag 0x0005 (NumConfigTLVsToReport) and subsequent TLVs that come after this value ( Table 3-9 SCF 222.10.02 )
Implement FAPI P5 message unpack, as well as message length check function procedure in FAPI P5 library.
Update check_nr_unpack_length in nfapi_p5.c to reference FAPI P5 message length check function.
Will be reused from other files in later commits.
Added packing/unpacking procedures for STOP.indication and ERROR.indication.
Separate a packing function for STOP.request for use in the NR FAPI library.
Expose needed (n)FAPI procedures to aerial_lib ( both P5 and P7 ) via a
header file.

- Sidelink indication with rx ind to trigger send SL-MIB to MAC
- Enable Scope for PSBCH use -d or --dqt
- Enable system testing of PSBCH for example using RFSIMULATOR:
- UE1 is a SYNCRONISATION SOURCE UE which transmits PSBCH
started using command -
sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem --sl-mode 2 --sync-ref 4 --rfsim --rfsimulator.serveraddr server
- UE2 syncs onto UE1 during sidelink search, gets the timing and continues to receive PSBCH
started using command -
sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem --sl-mode 2 --rfsim --rfsimulator.serveraddr 127.0.0.1
- In the default use case 2 Sidelink SSBs sent over 16 frames.

xran's xran_bm_init() uses rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() to allocate DPDK
buffers. For a 1x1 configuration, the number of buffers might be too
small, and rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() might fail. This commit ensures
that we increase the number of buffers to have enough even in a 1x1
configuration. This works by chosing the next power of two, which is
recommended as per DPDK documentation.

- neighbour_cell_configuration(list): includes the identity parameters
of the neighbour cell such:
- gNBID (incase of N2 Handover / to be identified from AMF)
- nr_cell_id (target gNB needs to consider)
- physical_cellId (needed for measurement reporting)
- absoluteFrequencySSB (needed for measurement reporting)
- subcarrierSpacing (needed for measurement reporting)

A sequence array container is used for neighbour cell configuration. RRC
structure has this container. A Measurement configuration structure is
defined. This structure has Periodical / A2 Event structures and also a
sequence container for A3 Event List.
These structures are filled during the initialization. While F1 Setup
Response is coming from DU to CU, the intra frequency / inter frequency
neighbour decision is given for the existing cell. Also new neighbours
could be added here if needed.
With the capabilities now given as part of this MR, it happens that when
checking the "docker compose config", the container_name might not be
close to the service name. Something like
service:
cap_drop:
...
cap_add:
...
container_name:
This is inconvenient, as the previous grep for the service name + 3
lines might not cover the service name. To circumvent this, give the
service name directly in "docker compose config". (no clue why it has
not been done like this from the start)

- sa_aw2s_gnb
- sa_e1_b200

By default, the container has no access to /dev. Mount all USB devices
into the container to ease usability: by default, USB devices are
mounted under /dev/bus/usb using the bus ID, which is different on every
system and might change on reboots or with (un-)plugging USB devices.
Hence, mount all USB; the process has not many capabilities anyway, and
thus might not do much harm.
A proper solution would be to write a udev rule to mount a device using
its vendor and product ID, and only mount the corresponding device into
the container.

Use common threadCreate() function to create P7 thread with high(er)
priority. Remove old calls to set_priority(), as this is already done

The main thread of nr-uesoftmodem (executing main()) is mostly working;
it is thus not necessary to set high priority. Instead, the threads
created with threadCreate() will receive higher priority, if possible
(as determined by the availability of SYS_NICE capability).
To inform if SYS_NICE is not present, print a warning in main().
SYS_NICE is a capability that allows a process to set thread affinity
and priority, among other things (see capabilities(7) for more info).
In this commit, add a function that allows to determine if the process
has this capability, and try to change the thread affinity and priority,
if requested. If the capability does not exist, the function will simply
not attempt to change the corresponding thread attributes.
To determine if the process has SYS_NICE, libcap can be used. However,
it might not be installed by default. To avoid requiring another
dependency, if we detect that libcap is not present, use a workaround by
try to set a real-time scheduling policy; if it's present, or can be
changed, we assume that the process has SYS_NICE (and clean up, if
relevant).
Simplify reading of capabilities

There is no functionality to undo this after stopping the softmodem(s),
and most users are probably not even aware that OAI does this. It is
generally preferable to set this beforehand using a governor or by
disabling sleep states (as outlined in the tutorial, and in a follow-up
commit in the performance tuning docs).
The previous mlockall() call, to lock memory to RAM, is retained in a

I tried to free the memory that had been allocated at that point, and
verified that using the address sanitizer. Nevertheless, the function
does too much, and is too complicated for refactoring.

The RTT for GEO satellites is more than 500 ms.
And as the TA update interval must be greater than the RTT, we increase it to 1 second instead of 100 ms.

According to the RRC specification, cellSpecificKoffset is:
Scheduling offset used for the timing relationships that are modified for NTN (see TS 38.213 [13]).
The unit of the field K_offset is number of slots for a given subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz.
If the field is absent UE assumes value 0
This parameter `cellSpecificKoffset_r17` can be set in the gNB conf file, in the section `servingCellConfigCommon`
A particular GCC version (v13?) used by CI machines potentially has a
bug that issues a mismatch bound warning on function array arguments.
This commit should prevent it from happening.
There is already a command line option called 'ue-scan-carrier' which
seemed to blindly look for SSB by changing the center frequency by
+/-100Hz if the previous attempt failed. This is probably copied from
LTE and is not suitable for NR. This commit uses this option to either
1. Perform initial sync on one GSCN if the SSB position if known
2. Or scan the all GSCN (if the SSB postion is unknown)
Also, the following is done for re-synchronization
1. Scan all GSCN when UE comes back from IDLE state
2. Scan one GSCN when UE does re-estabishment
Removed dependency of lte-softmodem.h in nr-softmodem.c.
CONFIG_HLP_UESCAN is declared also in lte-softmodem.h.
Changed Info to Debug because the logs are too much if large number of
GSCN scans run concurrently. Print PSS correlation peak and average
power of detected cells.
Till this commit, the UE gets the position of SSB in frequency from
command line and does the syncronization by locating the SSB in time. It
does this by generating a PSS time signal during initialization with the
SSB offset given via command line. Then PSS detection is done by
correlation.
In this commit, the UE computes a list of GSCN in the current NR band
that falls within the current bandwidth for the set center frequency.
For each GSCN in the list, the UE starts a thread and performs the
following:
1. Generate PSS time signal with SSB offset for current GSCN.
2. Detect PSS, SSS and decode PBCH (this step remains the same).
After all threads finishes, the results are collected.
For now, only the first detected PBCH is used to proceed further. So
this PBCH is indicated to MAC and UE exits initial sync.
Future work: The cell search can be standalone feature where the UE
could scan for SSB in the entire NR band. This would require changing
radio's frequency on the fly as the UE's bandwidth would not cover an
entire NR band. The cell detection can futher be imporved by looking
for SIB1 for each decoded PBCH.

38.321 6.1.3.1 says: "The size of the RLC headers and MAC subheaders are

with that amount of data, making it impossible for the UE to transmit
all its data at once (because it is the size signaled + headers).

Compiling the nrUE with -fsanitize=undefined leads to a crash
because the function nas_stream_encrypt_eia1() accesses the data
as uint32_t but the data is not aligned.
Actually this function wants 64 bits (big-endian) of data, so let's
introduce a simple function to read a big-endian 64 bits value.
It may seem bad (unoptimized), but looking at the output of gcc
without -fsanitize=undefined this will be translated as just one
movbeq instruction (on the machine where I did the test), which is
actually less instructions than the previous version which was doing
too movbel plus orq.
Moreover, after the main loop we need to process the last remaining
bytes (so less than 8). The code was wrong, reading past the input
data (and also not caring about alignment). It may work, it may fail,
it depends on many things. But it's plain wrong. So this was replaced
for something better, simpler. No need for mask32bit() anymore, only
one call to U64() is needed.
And now -fsanitize=undefined is happy, so all is good.
We also restrict the input length to be multiple of 8 bits. I don't
think it's a problem. To be refined if I'm wrong. (I think RRC and
NAS messages are 8-bits aligned, so it shouldn't be a problem.)
It should not be > 0xffffff.
Normally the core network would prevent this case from happening.
Plus to reach this value means to send a lot of NAS messages, which
is very doubtful in practice.
Anyway, it's better to deal with the case.
We exit if that happens. To be refined if needed (very doubtful).
This function was very wrong, now it's just wrong.
(It does not sanitize the input properly. Some bad input may have
unexpected effects on the nrUE.)
It needs a serious rewrite.
I just wanted to "fix" it so that it processes correctly some
correct input data.
OAI core network is sending Deregistation Accept in clear, even
after security context activation.
The standards is not clear to me, so let's accept it.
To be removed if incorrect with respect to the standards.

The version before this commit is wrong, taking wrong byte for msg_type
in some cases.
I don't have much time to implement a proper NAS PDU parser, so let's go
with hardcoded values.
Some later work will be done to have a cleaner solution. As of now, it's
too much work.

of SecurityModeCommand. We need the algorithms configured by core
network to derive those keys.

It can happen that in the current DL slot, we cannot send an allocation
for Msg3 in a later UL slot. Up to this commit, MAC printed a warning.
However, this is not really a warning, as it will likely work in the
next or a later slot. So demote this to debug.
The starting point was the function do_NR_DLInformationTransfer() which
may deal with more than 256 bytes.
Then why not cleanup all the functions in the same file.
(And do a bit of formattting fixing while we're here.)
Then cleanup the callers of those functions.
Then, because of do_SIB23_NR() let's also cleanup in some
structures.
Not all the codebase was cleaned up, there surely remain some uint8_t
(and char/short/uint16_t) which are wrong.
In some pipelines, it happens that iperf3 is hanging on 100% CPU load.
In these cases, a simple TERM signal does not seem to be enough to kill
it; KILL is necessary.
While e.g., RemoteCmd's driver paramiko has a timeout command, the
documentation [1] is not really clear how it is trying to stop commands.
Since it effectively does not stop, we have to assume it is only sending
TERM.
To remedy this, use the timeout command to start iperf3. We use option
-v for diagnose timeouts on stderr, and send KILL after an additional 3
seconds (-k3) if TERM does not succeed. The timeout is sent to the same
duration as the overall iperf timeout.

make sure the SSB is offset by 4 PRBs from the BW start.
Therefore, the ARFCN for the SSB center must be offset by 14 PRB from the ARFCN for the BW start.
A to-be-added UE's RA is added through nr_mac_add_test_ue() (the name is
misleading, it is not a "test UE") through its CellGroupConfig. Using
the process_CellGroupConfig() is unfortunate, because it is not really
clear what part of the CellGroupConfig gets evaluated (it is certainly
not all). Move the code for adding a new RA directly in the user-add
function, and refactor this one.
Introduce new LC configuration "priority", as specified in 38.321, and
use to sort LCs by priority. We set the priority of an SRB according to
38.331 Section 9.2.1, and for a DRB to be the minimum priority of the
QoS flows associated to this DRB.
Introduce new functions to add/release LCs without needing to go through
the intermediate CellGroupConfig. This harmonizes LC handling at the "DU
handler" to keep it consistent with RLC bearer handling.
These functions allow to group LC configuration handling, and we can
remove functions for setting NSSAIs and QoS by handling in one central
place (while adding LCs).
nr_mac_add_test_ue() is used by simulators and also in NSA mode to add a
new UE. Ideally, these users should also call the ue context setup
request handler to add a UE context; for the moment, respect the passed
list of LCs to add. Similarly, for do-ra, we require a dedicated
function to still parse the CellGroupConfig, so we keep that part of
functionality.
On reestablishment, since we do not process the CellGroupConfig from the
old UE, we need to add LCs for the new UE based on the onces from old
UE.
Use a common structure nr_lc_config_t to group LC configuration for one
logical channel. Use seq_arr for simple lookup, adding, removing of
elements without manual indexing logic.
This commit retains the previous logic of adding/releasing LCs through
the process_CellGroupConfig(), although we know while building the
CellGroupConfig if we add/release LCs. The next commit fixes this.
If we do not make this change, with the next commit, we get the
following error from gcc:
openair2/E2AP/RAN_FUNCTION/O-RAN/ran_func_kpm.c:299:46: error: assignment of read-only location '*(arr_ue_id.ue_info_list + (sizetype)(arr_ue_id.sz * 2444864))'
| arr_ue_id.ue_info_list[arr_ue_id.sz] = *ue;
In a later commit, we will use find_if in L2. In the case of building
with E2 agent, we link e2_agent which comes with its own implementation
of find_if_arr(), which results in a name clash. Rename the OAI
implementation, as nothing uses this, anyway.

uper_encode_to_buffer() of asn1c returns the number of BITS that have
been encoded; if we use this, we need to calculate the resulting number
of bytes (rounding up) to get the right buffer size.
Note that do_NR_ULInformationTransfer() uses
uper_encode_to_new_buffer() which returns the number of BYTES, hence, in
this similar function, we should not modify the return value.
Removed arbitrary offset of 30dB.
Changed sign for pathloss: pathloss calculated in compute_nr_SSB_PL is the difference between transmitted and received power.
Transmission power for preamble should compensate the pathloss, therefore power should increase with pathloss.
Add the option `--rfsimulator.prop_delay` to specify the simulated receive-path (gNB: UL, UE: DL) propagation delay in ms.
This option can be used e.g. to simulate a simple GEO satellite channel by specifying `--rfsimulator.prop_delay 238.74` to both, the gNB and the UE.

Taking the example of the AMF Set ID, the previous version of the macro
used another macro to encode the number, then marked the last 6 bits in
the bit string (of length 16/2 bytes) as unused. This is wrong, because,
assuming AMF Set ID=3, it basically truncates the number by encoding all
16 bits and cutting off the last 6, like this:
------------------- encode 16 bits
0000 0000 0000 0011
------------ take these 10 bits
So what remains is these bit positions of the number:
(16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7) -- the last 6 bits are cut (and the first 6
are either 0 or garbage, because they don't exist).
Instead, manually encode bits (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3) in the first byte, and
(2,1) in the second byte of the bit string, like so:
------------ encode 10 bits
0000 0000 1100 0000
------------ take these 10 bits
Do the same with the pointer.
The AMF Region ID above is correct, as it is exactly 8 bits.
In the case of PDU sessions in the NG UE context setup request, we first
have to set up security. Hence, in this commit, implement the "delayed"
set up of theses PDU sessions, and acknowledge the setup request after
reconfiguration, as requested by O-RAN.WG5.C.1-v11.
Trigger UE ctxt setup response for the case of "registration request"
(no PDU sessions in UE Context setup response), as mandated by
O-RAN.WG5.C.1-v11.
As of this commit, since we now send the UE security command as a DL NAS
message, there is no F1 UE Context setup request. Hence, instead of
sending a UE context modif request, send the UE context setup request
after the E1 bearer setup response (which logically also makes more
sense, as the E1 setup procedure comes before the F1 setup procedure).
This reverts commit 0f100a6e94, which
introduced a hack to possibly wait with a PDU session setup at the RRC
in case a RRC UE capability transaction (requesting UE capabilities from
a UE) was ongoing. This happened, as we delayed the UE capabilities to
after the first RRC reconfiguration; in that case, certain UEs were
requesting the next PDU session, and if RRC did not delay the new PDU
session (as requested from the core), this procedure might occur while
UE capability enquiry was ongoing, leading to failures in these
transactions.
The default RRC reconfiguration was previously sent after the security
mode command as a "first" RRC reconfiguration. However, it is simply not
needed, as it will be triggered through a subsequent reconfiguration
that also sets up DRBs.
Move the Measurement Config to the "other/dedicated" RRC
reconfiguration.
This reconfiguration would have forwarded a NAS PDU (typically a
registration accept). This is now done by a dedicated forwarding of NAS.
This reverts commit 4a7d7975ce.
Trigger the UE capability right after security mode complete, as
specified in O-RAN WG5.C.1-v11. Also, there is no "need" for the
"default" RRC Reconfiguration (it will come once PDU sessions are
requested), so remove this as well.
Previously, the CU sent the Security Mode Command as part of a UE
context setup request. This was done "because it was possible", not
because there was an inherent need to do this. However the LiteOn DU
does not like this, as it expects to also have a DRB in the UE context
setup request procedure, which is not always the case.
Hence, send the Security Mode Command in a normal DL RRC msg transfer
over F1. As of this commit, there is not UE context Setup Request (so it
might not work with all DUs), but the OAI DU is cool and does not care,
so RFsim still works.
This also aligns the CU's behavior with O-RAN.WG5.C.1-v11.
Finally, as of this commit, we do not trigger a UE context setup
request, so we cannot handle PDU sessions inside the initial UE context
setup request at the same time as the security mode command (which was
done previously before reaching this point). This will be fixed in a
later commit.
In the DU, read slice information from the DU config file. Handle
multiple slices within the F1 Setup Request structure representation,
and forward it via F1 to CU. The DU slice information is stored in the
setup request structure.
This reverts commit eaf28414ca.
This assertion was introduced as we (wrongfully) thought we needed to
calculate the SSB ARFCN at the CU. Since PBCH might carry one bit, which
is not available at the CU, only certain SSB ARFCNs would have been
possible.
With the availability of the SSB ARFCN through the
MeasurementTimingConfiguration, this is not necessary anymore.
MeasTimingConfig may not come with F1 Setup Request: some DUs send it
with the DU configuration update. Handle this gracefully by checking for
MTC before using it.
Use the correct MIB data structure, MIB_t. This is required by 38.473,
and the LiteOn DU sends only that. So our CU needs to handle it, so
align the OAI DU as well.

The main work of this commit is to rewrite cipher_aes_128_cbc_cmac()
which was too slow and created issues when running the 4G eNB on some
machines (LLL when using a b210).
Instead of creating the security context, use it, and delete it, all in
cipher_aes_128_cbc_cmac(), we introduce the function init_aes_128_cbc_cmac()
to create it, and we change cipher_aes_128_cbc_cmac() to just use it,
and we also adapt free_aes_128_cbc_cmac(). The function aes_128_cbc_cmac()
is removed, it does not follow the new init/use/free API.
Doing so, on the primary test machine used to do this work (a powerful
and fast machine where it is possible to set the CPUs' frequencies)
it was possible to limit the CPUs' frequencies to 500 MHz (it was not
possible to go lower) without any LLL (using a b210, quectel UE in
idle, no data traffic, only periodic measurement reports). Before this
commit, it was necessary to set a frequency of at least 1.8 GHz
otherwise some LLL would appear.
Then we need to adapt the rest of the code to take into account those
changes.
A notion of security container (stream_security_container_t) containing
ciphering and integrity contexts is introduced.
And the code is harmonized for, hopefully, better readability.
The (opaque) type stream_security_context_t is introduced, used by
both integrity and ciphering contexts. The idea is to use a
init()/use()/free() API for all the security procedures, identical for
all the ciphering and integrity procedures.
These functions enables (un)deployment of the OAI CN v2.0.1, increase
reliability and speedup overall CN (un)deployment compared to current
implementation.
Use "--wait" helm option to wait for deployment/undeployment of the CN.
Wait for pods to be in a ready state before marking the release as
successful. If not deployed/undeployed before timeout, marked as
unsuccessful.

After the recent update of matix, collected logs contain color codes

Replacement of "docker compose logs" by "docker logs" resolves this
issue. This commit includes changes related to "docker logs" usage.
Reset all the circular buffer to zero; this ensures that we cannot read
uninitialized data. Since this is RFsimulator, performance is not a
problem here either (and zeroing out happens only once).
Memsan complains that uninitialized reads originate because of these
warnings. Most of the corresponding variables are actually read into
through by libconfig; nevertheless, initializing them should not have a
bad side-effect (because the initialized value is overwritten).
We access G_N at indexes that are not necessarily 32-byte aligned,
leading to segfaults. Use simde_mm256_loadu_si256() to load from memory
at an unaligned memory address to avoid the segfault.
Discovered using clang; it is unclear why gcc did not encounter the same
segfault.
-rdynamic is necessary for clang as well to properly link shared
executables. Add furthermore an option to ignore unused command line
arguments, to suppress warning
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-rdynamic' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
This is likely because -rdynamic is only relevant for the linker, but
the corresponding option add_link_options() is only available starting
cmake 3.13, while we are still at 3.12 (for Ubuntu 18, to my
understanding).

Unlike the previous commit, in noS1, we cannot use Attach(), as noS1
automatically brings up an interface, no matter whether the connection
succeeded or not. Therefore, consistently wait a bit longer to increase
the chance that the radio is really up.
For various reasons, the UE might take longer to connect to the eNB. A
simple sleep might not be enough; instead, use Attach() to actively wait
that the UE gets an IP address. The added bonus of this function is that
it will also stop&restart a UE if it did not attach, i.e., it will try
multiple times to attach the UE.
The code (author) confused MCE_PARAMS_DESC and MCE_NETPARAMS_DESC and
tried to read the MCE name from MCE_NETPARAMS_DESC when in reality it
should come from MCE_PARAMS_DESC. This commit fixes to use the right
array.
In a previous commit, the functionality of handling IPv6 (and DNS names)
as part of the IPv4 was introduced (in IPv4 field for backwards
compatibility). This commit now removes superfluous configuration
fields:
- IPv6: handled by IPv4 field
- active: users can just remove an entry
- preference: not needed

Rewrite sctp_create_new_listener() to use getaddrinfo() to look up
IPv4/IPv6 addresses via a common interface. This allows to use e.g. DNS,
and enables the SCTP library to listen on IPv6 ports.
To support the above, the corresponding message is changed to not take
an IPv4 address on 4 bytes (and separate IPv6), but a single name that
will be resolved via getaddrinfo()
The previous init message used to allow multiple IPv4/IPv6 addresses;
since this is not used anywhere, remove the corresponding functionality.
Modify all uses of this ITTI message to copy te SCTP init bind addr into
ITTI message.
Use getaddrinfo() to look up IP (v4/v6) addresses. The old
interface of separately specifying IPv4 and IPv6 addresses is
preserved, but both fields allow to specify types of addresses, and we
will remove one field in the future.
After the last commit, it is not possible to bind on separate interfaces
for F1-C and F1-U. In other words, it is for instance not possible to
have the F1-C on one subnet on one physical interface, and F1-U on
another subnet on another physical interface. This commit introduces a
second option MACRLCs.[0].local_n_address_f1u to allow to bind F1-U on
an alternative address; if it is not specified, the interface of F1-C is
reused.
The above only works for the DU; no corresponding option exists for the
CU. For the CU, use separate CU-CP and CU-UP.
Use it in the CI.
This reverts commit 284116522b.
The problem is that (1) we don't really support multi-homing, but (2) on
some system, if the other IP addresses that the operating system
considers part of the multi-homed connection are HEARTBEAT'ed (e.g.,
docker), they answer with SCTP ABORT, which breaks the entire
connection.
In other words, force single-homing by binding. For F1-U uses, another
option will be introduced that allows to bind to a separate interface
for F1-U (separate from F1-C), if necessary.

Add ulsch decoding measurements, which are reported by nr_ulsim. Start ulsch_decoding_stats measurement before
nr_ulsch_decoding is called and stop it after collection of all decoder tasks from Tpool. In the context of nr_ulsim,
ULSCH_id is allways == 0, testing is performed per one TB, therefore measurement is started and stopped only once per trial.
Reported ulsch decoding statistics show the mean ulsch decoding time over x trials (specified by -n command line option of nr_ulsim).
This measurement does not provide valid information in case of nr-softmodem, when the loop is done over multiple ULSCH IDs -
start of the measurement is done multiple times and stops only once in this case.
For unitary physical simulators, ULSCH processing loop is executed only once
- the max number of PUSCH is set to 1. This ensures exactly one start and stop
of the ULSCH decoding time measurement per processed TB.
Note: ulsch decoding statistics reports average time of segmentation, rate matching, interleaving and decoding of the TB

Simplification of the code by replacing iperf_opt by target_bitrate (returned from Iperf_ComputeModifiedBW) - no need to repeat the steps to retrieve information about requested bitrate from iperf_opt. Compute iperf bitrate performance as receiver bitrate over requested (target) bitrate.
Fix an issue with misdetection of missing report line - "result" was defined 2x in the function. With this MR, result can be only None or stores output of re.search() for matching the report line pattern, which ensure proper detection of the report line as well as presence off all required components in the report line.
Sender bitrate is not always equal to the requested bitrate (set by "-b" iperf option) in iperf3 (v3.9) UDP tests, so we have to compture bitrate performance of UDP iperf3 test as receiver over requested bitrate. Bitrate performance then express percentage of requested bitrate, which is received on the receiver side.
For iperf3 (version 3.9) UDP, sender bitrate is not always equal to requested bitrate (defined by '-b' option). We need to retrieve information about the requsted bitrate from iperf command line options specified for each UDP testcase. This parameter is then used in UDP analysis functions for proper evaluation of the test results.
Prior to this commit, it might happen that the gNB used TDA 0 (Start 0

fixes the overflow issue in the PUCCH2 RX with 4+ RX antennas and 12+

nr_pucchsim -s -5 -q 8 -P 2 -b 12 -R 273 -z4 -n1000

We observe these asserts while running concurrent UL traffic on many
UEs:
Assertion (crc->rnti == rx->rnti) failed!
In handle_nr_ulsch() ../../../openair2/NR_PHY_INTERFACE/NR_IF_Module.c:193
mis-match between CRC RNTI 7221 and RX RNTI 35cf
CRC and RX indication need to be pairwise for one UE, when here we have
each for different UE. However, investigation seemed to indicate that
both arrays for CRC and RX indication contained only one PDU; it seemed
the RNTI changed while writing the CRC/RX.indication messages in
nr_fill_indication().
In this patch, we change the logic to mark a ULSCH free AFTER calling
nr_fill_indication(). It is difficult to say if this makes the assertion
disappear, but preliminary tests did not exhibit the same failure
states.
Closes#773
Move decision of Msg2 allocation time instant from instance we receive
RA indication (only containing preamble time information) to actual RA
scheduler (containing current DL slot time). This has the advantage:
- if Msg2 cannot be sent, we might try in a later slot
- no timing-based problems were a RACH.indication FAPI message might
come late, we calculate a Msg2 frame/slot, but this instant has
already passed in the DL scheduler
- no assumption about slot_ahead (an L1 constant)
The previous code calculated and verified an SSB index; I am not sure

Introduce the structure nr_pdcp_integrity_data_t and adapt code to use it.
Note: in nr_pdcp_sdu_t we keep the 'count' variable (which is also present
in nr_pdcp_integrity_data_t). They represent the same value, but 'count'
in nr_pdcp_integrity_data_t is to be specifically used for integrity while
the other one has other uses, so it's better to keep it.
The case securityModeFailure didn't seem to be implemented
properly, so I just removed it entirely.
The variable 'securityMode' did not make much sense, removed as well.
Plus for integrity, there was: securityMode |= 1 << 5 for nea1
and << 6 for nea2, which does not seem correct (I would expect << 4
and << 5 respectively), so it was properly incorrect.
'securityModeCommand->criticalExtensions.choice.securityModeCommand'
was accessed before checking that
'securityModeCommand->criticalExtensions.present'
is 'NR_SecurityModeCommand__criticalExtensions_PR_securityModeCommand',
which is wrong.
The tests 'securityMode >= NO_SECURITY_MODE' and 'securityMode != 0xff'
don't make sense/are unclear, so removed too.
So let's simplify this function, wrong in several places. And put
some AssertFatal() so that the code won't do weird things. The
AssertFatal() can be removed later and the function improved later
if needed. The case securityModeFailure can also be handled later,
but I think there is more work to do than just encoding the message
and send it to the gNB, so it's not bad to remove it for the moment.
The use of security_mode_completed in the PDCP entity was a hack.
Plus it was not working at all with the deregistration request
when nea2 is used, sent when doing ctrl+c in the nrUE.
So let's remove it.
And let's handle activation of integrity and ciphering more in
accordance with what 38.331 says. SecurityModeComplete has to
be sent integrity protected, but not ciphered. Only after should
the ciphering be activated. (See 38.331 5.3.4.3.)

From 3GPP TS 38.321 Section 5.4.3 Multiplexing and assembly, we need to process the highest priority subPDUs first:
- MAC CE for C-RNTI is the one with higher priority
38.473 section 8.2.3.1 says that upon F1 Setup Request, UE associated
signalling should be erased. In this commit, we trigger a release of all
UEs that were still connected to a DU when we received the SCTP
shutdown, i.e., when the DU disconnects.
- Four mounting of files, we need the absolute path. Even if the script
gets relative paths, realpath will give the absolute path
- Correctly recognize and handle gNB images with AW2S support
- no need to specify "single-ue" profile when running iperf test for 1 UE only
- default profile "balanced" can be used instead, computes BW for 1 UE correctly

- RAN Function Definition implemented
- ran_func_kpm.c - use function pointers based on the matching condition,
and node type
- ran_func_kpm_subs.h/c - for measurement collection within
MAC/RLC/PDCP layers; for CU-UP node only PDCP included (otherwise,
we would get undefined reference to MAC/RLC)
- use mutual E2SM UE ID file
In phy-test, the scheduler has a hardcoded UE allocation; if CQI and RSRP
are not evaluated, there is no change in the scheduler function. Also,
this avoids misleading error messages if no UE is connected.
- The DL MCS adapted based on the BLER for the minimum number of
DL(numd_sched) grants for the UE in the pre_configured number of frames.
The current threshold value is set to be >9 for 16 UE capacity.
- With increased number of UE to 32 and when all the UEs are DL data active
the num_dl_sched is not meeting the threshold value. Due to whcih the MCS
of all the UEs are stuck with MCS 10-12 in good channel condition.
- The threshold value is adjusted to support 32 UE capacity increase.
- Added the limit as MAX_DCI_CORESET for max_sched_ues in DL/UL scheduler.
This is needed because gNB crashes when tested with 100MHz cell as the
scheduler tries to schedule 11 UEs in a slot and the DCI informaiton is
corrupted due to the limitation in NFAPI interface because of
MAX_DCI_CORESET size.
Use the correct function in order to close open RFsim connections,
instead of a simple close(). If this is not done correctly, it might
happen that the softmodem closes, but an L1 thread might still read
samples (bug in higher layers). Then, RFsim tries to read a socket
(because it has an open connection), but the actual connection had been
close()d. This commit fixes this behavior.

The F1AP message encoders and decoders should do only that, encoding and
decoding messages. For the actual logic handling, including set up and
teardown of bearers, we should use the handlers.
In this commit, delete GTP tunnel handling from encoders/decoders. For
the CU, this happens already in the CU-UP/E1 handlers in
cucp_cuup_handler.c. For the DU, add it in the handlers in
mac_rrc_dl_handler.c.
From the spec, it does not seem to be mandated to check that the random
identity needs to be unique within a cell. Also, from experience we see
that this only happens when the same UE "comes back"; so since one UE
can only have one connection, the other RRC UE contexts (with the same
identity) should be removed at some point, anyway, leaving only one with
the same identity.

nr_fill_indication() fills CRC and RX requests, to be sent from L1 to
L2. Before this commit, nr_fill_indication() is called when
- we finally decoded LDPC (or not)
- low signal on PUSCH
This might happen at the same time, i.e., nr_fill_indication() might try
to fill both CRC and RX, in the same list, from different threads. This
can lead to this assertion:
Assertion (crc->rnti == rx->rnti) failed!
In handle_nr_ulsch() ../../../openair2/NR_PHY_INTERFACE/NR_IF_Module.c:190
mis-match between CRC RNTI e071 and RX RNTI 5e3b
e.g., e071 is low energy, and while 5e3b related message are filled in
one thread, e071 is being put into the message structure as well.
At least that is my understanding. I could not actually reproduce this
assertion; to be seen if it still happens.
Do not assert if the list of phy statistics is full; instead return
NULL.
In most places, this is handled appropriately (we do not store anything
if we can't). In nr_decode_pucch0(), the return value of get_phy_stats()
is used a little bit all over the function, and a constant
if (uci_stats)
uci_stats->variable++;
would look ugly, so make uci_stats point to the stack if we cannot store
in the phy_stats.
the uci_stats variable (pointing to per-UE statistics for UCI) is used
in function nr_decode_pucch0() to store information which is important
beyond statistics, e.g., uci_stats->pucch0_thres as a threshold (which
comes from somewhere else)
This commit refactors to use original or intermediate variables to not
mix uci_stats usage with actual processing.
Also, group uci_stats a bit more.
They use 4G NUMBER_OF_UE_MAX, which is not supposed to be present in 5G.
Further, the mutex and variable are global state; for Paging, we should
use F1.
We can only support up to 30 UEs for SRS. In this commit, we change:
- if the total number of UEs is > 32, throw error during compilation to
raise awareness (32 so that a multiple of two still works, everything
else is confusing, see also next point)
- during runtime, handle gracefully if UID is 30 or 31 to not abort (we
can simply not allocate SRS resources)
Also, refactor config_srs() to always give back new memory; the code is
shorter and clearer. Rename to get_contig_srs() to make it explicit.
SCF 222.10.02, Table 3-35: the PDUSize parameter of a DL_TTI.request PDU

This is required for the Aerial interoperability.

Set ulimit of core to -1 enable core dumps for file-based core dumping.
Note that it is not necessary for e.g., systemd-coredumpd, but put it
for completeness.
- Return code says if copying succeeded
- Improve handling of the recursive code paths, which copy files or
directories recursively into another directory
- both for RemoteCmd/LocalCmd
Some CI users (OAI developers) expressed that the warning of the `docker
volume prune` before starting RFsim is confusing. To avoid the warning in
the HTML, force the removal; if the volume does not exist, no warning is
emitted.
To still catch possible problems, do not do this in the `terminate.xml`
so we might still see if there are other problems.
The original UL max MCS of 9 was chosen for performance reasons. In the
meantime, machines became faster, and the ULSCH decoding faster. Improve
UL max MCS to be 28 by default to use the complete range of possible
MCS.
Doing only 5 LDPC iterations by default leads to a poor reception
performance, and correspondingly many retransmissions. Increase to 8 as
the new default to improve user experience.
Ensure that the UE has an IP address before continuing the test.
Otherwise, it might happen we ping before the UE is connected.
Do not do this in do-ra and phytest, as they use --noS1, which implies
statically assigned IP address, so IP address check always succeeds(!).
Make RFsim start up faster by starting core and RAN start at the same
time. This speeds up because we do not wait for "healthy" containers
serially, but parallely.
For the RAN, it is safe to start gNB and UE at the same time in SA mode
(as the UE will only attach once the radio, and hence the full gNB, is
ready).
We do not start in parallel in do-ra and phytest, as in these modes the
gNB first has to write a UE-specific configuration file. If we start
both gNB and UE at the same time, the UE might try to read the file
before it is written, leading to a failure.
- PDCP reestablishment on CUCP (DRBs) triggering Bearer Context Modification procedures over E1
- Performing PDCP reestablishment for requested DRBs on CUUP
- Introduced function to notify re-establishment to CU-UP
- removed call to PDCP reestablishment for the DRBs on CUCP (it's done on CUUP)
cuup_notify_reestablishment:
- to fetch PDU session to setup in E1 following logic as in e1_send_bearer_updates
- fill bearer context modification request with stored F1-U tunnel information
during E1 reestablishment, otherwise it would initialized to 0 by default
- update GTP tunnel with the stored configuration after E1 reestablishment
The following ASSERT is tirggered while testing 16 UE setup.
Assertion (NPRB>0 && (NPRB + RBstart <= BWPsize)) failed!
In PRBalloc_to_locationandbandwidth0() /home/ran/common/utils/nr/nr_common.c:286
Illegal NPRB/RBstart Configuration (1,48) for BWPsize 48
Corrected the get_start_stop_allocation calculation to fix the issue.
The implementation was wrong. The rbstop shall be the last rb that could
be allocated. Also the following two conditions are taken care
rbStart needs to be strictly smaller than rbStop
rbStart+rbSize needs to be smaller or equal to rbStop
The problem was that we confounded both conditions, so rbStart could
be equal to rbStop, which then leads to one PRB being allocated at the end.
Setting rbStop to BWPsize - 1 and making sure the above two conditions are
true does not make it lead to wrong allocations anymore.
The previous code removed the "secondary UE" data (about DU association,
DU UE ID, associated CU UP), and only filled the F1-related data. In
other words, the associated CU-UP was lost. This commit reworks this
piece of code to retrieve old data, and update the relevant data without
destroying other.
- many structs and definitions are overlapping between the two different E1 procedures
- introduced naming specific to E1 Bearer Context Modification to improve readability
- grouped SDAP and PDCP configuration IEs for better reusability and readability
- introduced functions to set and get default PDCP config (DRBs and Bearer Contexts)
find_or_next_pdu_session:
- find_or_next_pdu_session refers to the E1 Bearer Context Modification Request

PUSCH decoding is started multiple times in nr_ulsch_procedures() for
each ULSCH segment, and stopped once inside
phy_procedures_gNB_uespec_RX(). Not only is it not clear if that works
with the API, it also might measure more than just PUSCH decoding.
Remove the PUSCH decoding, it is misleading. Check L1 RX processing
instead.
The CI would only detect a deviation from the normalized value based on
a configurable threshold, typically 1.25 (so we would tolerate a 25%
increase). However, it often happens that a timing gets shorter (e.g.,
forgot to put the timing measurements). This commit introduces a
"Deviation Threshold" (smaller than 1) to not only check that we exceed
1.0 + "Deviation Threshold" (as before), but also that are not below 1.0
- "Deviation Threshold".
In other words, assuming a maximum divergence of 25%, instead of just
checking if val > 1.25, we now also check if val < 0.75 (and flag
error).
This commit introduces a separate thread (l1_tx_thread) that processes
gNB DL/TX slots. It receives a message from the ru_thread when a new
slot started, and starts processing.
The DL part of the scheduler is run in the l1_tx_thread. Therefore,
only call UL indication (for scheduler) in UL slots. The UL indication
previously triggered the DL scheduler -- hence, it had to be called in
every slot. Now, since the DL scheduler is moved into the DL thread, we
don't have to call the scheduler in every slot anymore.
The reorder thread is removed, as reordering with this scheme is not
necessary anymore.
The main advantage of this version is that the TX can be scheduled
earlier (sl_ahead). Further, there can no longer be race conditions in
the TX path, since the scheduler/L2, TX L1 processing and the RU tx
function are all execute in the same thread (L1_tX_thread).
Also, the scheduler prepares PRACH/PUSCH/PUCCH FAPI PDUs. As of this
commit, the scheduler runs in the TX processing chain, whereas these
PDUs are destined for RX processing. Thus, too avoid data races,
instead of triggering the RX processing at the same time as TX
processing in the RU thread, this commit changes the code to trigger RX
processing after the scheduler has been run in TX processing to avoid
data races.
Finally, we synchronize RU and L1 threads. This is important for
rfsimulator, since unlike most radios, rfsimulator can run slower or
faster, depending on I/O and CPU (it does not have a stable "tick").

The UL_INFO_mutex is used in only one place, and therefore useless.
Also, the scheduler uses a lock internally to prevent concurrent access.
Hence, the UL_INFO_mutex is not needed.
Remove kill_gNB_proc(), as it is now dead code.
The next commit introduces a separate gNB TX processing thread. To
properly separate DL scheduler (for scheduling decisions) from UL
indication handling (for UL packets), this commit introduces a slot
indication "tick" to run the DL scheduler which will be put into the gNB
TX processing chain instead of the UL indication.
For different reasons, the frame/slot numbers might jump (e.g., gNB and
RU machines not properly synced). The scheduler would assert for PUCCH
allocations. Handle this gracefully by printing an error message, and
resetting the PUCCH structure.

We used to trigger the UECapabilityEnquiry right after
SecurityModeComplete, and before the RRCReconfiguration (which we call
"default" reconfiguration). However, 38.401 tells us that we should send
the RRCReconfiguration right after the SecurityModeComplete. In fact,
even though we get the UE capabilities, we cannot use them during this
reconfiguration, as we would first need to update the DU with a UE
Context Modification Request, which we cannot, as we just sent the UE
Context Setup Request, and the DU relies on first getting the
RRCReconfiguration.
Since we rely on a subsequent reconfiguration anyway, we can safely
trigger the UECapabilityEnquiry after RRCReconfigurationComplete.
(38.331 also says we can send UECapabilityEnquiry at any point.)
To cater for the possibility that there might not be any reconfiguration
coming afterwards, we check if a DRB has been set up. If not, we assume
a reconfiguration will come, and do not trigger one only for the UE
capabilities (this is what we do before this commit). If we already have
DRBs set up, they might have been set up during the "default" RRC
Reconfiguration, and another reconfiguration might not follow soon; in
this case, we trigger the reconfiguration by sending the UE capabilities
to the DU right away.
The next commit moves the UE Capability Enquiry after the first
reconfiguration. This has the effect that for some UEs (e.g., iPhone),
the Setup Requests come too close to each other, triggering RRC
Reconfigurations while previous transactions are ongoing.
I think the "true" solution would be to implement some tracking of
transactions across RRC, F1AP, E1AP, but this might require many
changes. For the moment, limit to delaying PDU session resource setups
to prevent above problem. Delaying is done using ITTI timers (to be able
to serve other UEs), waiting 10ms each time, up to 20 times (to not
deadlock the transaction -- after all, if the UE is unhappy, it will
drop the connection).
This commit allows the gNB to handle PDU sessions that the core requests
to setup during the NGAP Initial UE Context Setup. Previously, we only
managed them as part of PDU Session Resource Setup Request.
The RRC will, depending on whether a PDU session is in the NGAP Initial
UE Context Setup, either directly trigger the Security Command, or first
do a bearer setup at the CU-UP. Some asserts have been lifted, as now
the PDU sessions might be present before the RRC Connection is fully
established.
Implement the correct forwarding of the bearers in an F1 UE Context
Setup Request message.
This solves bug #672.
Prior to this commit, the handling of DRBs is complex: first the RRC
"guessed" a DRB ID when setting up DRBs via E1AP (in
rrc_gNB_process_NGAP_PDUSESSION_SETUP_REQ()), and later chose one for
real in fill_DRB_Configlist() (called in
rrc_gNB_generate_dedicatedRRCReconfiguration()).
To simplify, remove fill_DRB_Configlist(), and instead allocate the DRB
using generateDRB() before sending the message via E1AP, in
rrc_gNB_generate_dedicatedRRCReconfiguration(). The rest of the logic is
the same.
For PDU sessions, always mark PDU sessions as "done" to match pdu
session state logic.
It might happen that a UE has no CU-UP (e.g., never requested a PDU
session). When triggering a release, we previously and implicitly
associated a CU-UP in that case. That is not good, and confusing.
This commit adds a function to look up if the UE has an associated
CU-UP. We only send a release if it is the case.
The function get_existing_cuup_for_ue() now instead verifies that a
CU-UP exist, and does not implicitly create an association (which might
be unwanted, see above).
The function rrc_gNB_process_RRCReconfigurationComplete() does almost
nothing, we can delete it.
The variable name ue_reconfiguration_after_reestablishment_counter is
misleading, as it counts all reconfigurations; rename to make it clear.
The drb_active array keeps track of active DRBs. However, it only
replicates some of the information in established_drbs, and could lead
to a reuse of DRB IDs when two bearers are to be set up. Consider the
following:
1. trigger first DRB creation at RRC
2. DRB ID chosen from free drb_active entry
3. trigger second DRB creation at RRC
-> The first reconfiguration has not been acknowledged
-> drb_active is not marked as DRB_ACTIVE
4. The second DRB ID is chosen from a free drb_active entry, which is
the same as in 2.
By reusing established_drbs everywhere, this cannot happen, as we
1. select the DRB to be used using next_available_drb() and then
2. use generateDRB(), which marks the DRB used
all from within fill_DRB_configList, which gives a new DRB.
The logic is still overly complex, though.
If there are no active bearers, the function previously returned an
empty list. Return NULL if there are no bearers, so it is safe to call
this function even when no bearers are present. We can also pass it
every time to do_RRCReconfiguration(), which will not add an empty list
for DRBs.
Create a single function to activate an SRB. This function derives the
corresponding keys, triggers the setup in PDCP, and marks the SRB as set
up, instead of doing all of this common functionality in individual
steps. Use it at the corresponding places.

This commit implements retrieval of 5G-S-TMSI from Parts 1&2, or the
entire 5G-S-TMSI, depending on what the UE sends. Further, if it has
been retrieved, print a log of all constituent parts of it.
The UE-specific variable ng_5G_S_TMSI_Part2 is not needed, as we compute
the full 5G-S-TMSI as soon as we have Part2 (and 1).
The correct forwarding to the core is implemented in the following
commit.
We did not give a cause value, and therefore NGAP's "PDU sessions
failed" encoding failed. Give a cause value in all cases, so that this
cannot happen anymore.
To prevent against this, put an AssertFatal() into the encoder that
stops if an internally sent message does not have a correct cause value
(we can at least select a default).
Print an info message for all failed PDU sessions.
In rrc_gNB_send_NGAP_INITIAL_CONTEXT_SETUP_RESP(): if a PDU session is
already established, don't count it as failed.
If we are in one of these procedures, we basically must be in SA mode,
everything else is illogical. It also does not seem plausible to check
for this, as it is not apparent why only these couple of calls should
not be executed if not in SA. Hence, remove.
This implementation might work, but it simply triggers RRC setup on the new
DU when we might send a RRC reestablishment speeding up the whole
connection setup. For this:
- we should send the F1 UE context setup to the new DU
- we should still do the reestablishment, containing the reestablishment message
The latter should be sent once we received the F1 UE context setup
response. We don't need a new context. send a release to the old DU (and
don't release our own context!!).
We might also send the reestablishment to the UE encapsulated with the
F1 UE context setup response. Need to investigate if this is feasible
(because if the DU rejects [can that happen here?], the UE will still
send reestablishment complete -- what then?).
Also, we would need to send the E1 bearer context modification to the
CU-UP.
Keeping track if AS security is activated. This is important for a later
commit, where we use this to decide if we send a F1 UE Context Setup Req
with security command after receiving the E1 bearer context setup
response. The corresponding AssertFatal() removed in the same commit
implementing PDU session handling in NGAP Initial UE Context Setup.
38.401 Sec 8.1 asks for sending the Initial Context Setup Response after
a reconfiguration happened. Therefore, we can never send this message
directly from the handler in the Initial Context Setup Request
38.133 table 10.1.6.1.1 specifies dB for RSRP measurements. On the
"edges", the choice of INT_MIN/INT_MAX is poor, as it can quickly lead
to integer overflow/underflow for the wrong values. Instead, set proper
min/max RSRP values.
If we cannot send Msg.2, then basically the RA process is dead (because
the UE expects it at a fixed time). Hence, cancel the RA process, so
that we do not pick it up again after 1000 frames.

Subsequent pipelines can/might use the ran-base image. Further, before
building a new ran-base image, we delete it. Hence, it suffices to only
delete the image when necessary (before building a new one), and
otherwise leave the current (develop, ci-temp) ran-base image.
Using AssertFatal() has the drawback that it requires the definition of
an exit_function() (which is typically declared in OAI main
executables). We don't want to pull in such dependency for every
consumer. Hence, use c stdlib's assert() instead.

For the initialization of the xran library (split 7.2), we need some
parameters such as PRACH or frame config. However, to date,
initialization of split at level 7 use the split 8 openair0_config
structure, which does not have the necessary information.
Hence, add a single structure that contains that information.
* make a single call to various function
* make fill_rf_config() static, it is only used in this file
* do not initialize the number of antennas in openair0_cfg in
init_NR_RU(), as it is already done in fill_rf_config()
Harmonize the call to openair0_transport_load(), by putting it in a
single place instead of multiple calls
Further, delay the call to ru_thread, for two reasons:
1) it is somewhat "symmetric" with local RF, which is done there as well
2) for the xran library, we need to read some parameters such as PRACH,
frame format, etc. At the RU, the corresponding FAPI config request
parameter structure is copied from the gNB to RU at the beginning of
the ru_thread, so we have to wait for that to happen.
Reformat code to properly copy memory if we skip precoding.
precoding_stats timing is not part of ru->feptx_ofdm, but
ru->feptx_prec, so always print it.
Previously, in order to speed up processing if precoding is disabled, we
just copy the pointer from txdataF to txdataF_BF, as opposed to do a
full memcpy() to duplicate the data. The same happens if we cannot have
precoding, i.e., in SISO. This has implications such as memory leaks,
which is why this is not being done. However, the code comment is
intentionally placed there.
For 7.2 FH, some RUs do phase compensation, whereas for others, the DU
does it. In fact, this can be "negotiated" using the M plane. Since we
don't have the M plane yet, add a configuration option to set where
phase compensation is performed.
For certain processing, e.g., in the case of FH 7.2, we need to ensure
that critical L1 processing happens fast. Try to force speedy processing
with this high priority.

In NSA, we don't have SIB1. However, the DU system information requires
both MIB and SIB1, but is itself optional. So, in NSA, don't fill the DU
system information.
For LiteOn DU, we do not receive the MIB/SIB1 in the F1 Setup Request.
This is not a problem in itself, but it might happen that certain
procedures are executed without MIB/SIB1. Check for it and handle
appropriately:
- During normal connection establishment, we might not be able to
calculate measurement config
- During reestablishment, we might not be able to calculate ARFCN SSB
and cannot do reestablishment; do RRC setup instead.
read_version() takes a version string in format "x.y.z" with x being
major, y minor, and z patch number. It transforms reads them into
separate numbers, and outputs in the correspondingly named variables.

While testing the OAI 5G RAN in SA mode, it appears that the PDU session
establishment request is using the wrong security header type.
The current used header is: "Integrity protected and ciphered with new
5G NAS security context".
However, according to TS 24.501, Table 9.3.1, this header can only be used
by the "Security mode complete" procedure.
Changes:
- Hence, the new security header has been changed to "Integrity protected
and ciphered", which will use the security context generated during the
"Security mode complete".
- Sequences numbers and NAS counters have been updated to reflect that
change.

SCF FAPI 222.10.02 had a bug on the description of CoreSetType:

(subcarrier 0 of CRB0 for DMRS mapping)
1: otherwise (subcarrier 0 of CORESET)
That was fixed in SCF 222.10.04:
0: CORESET is configured by the PBCH or SIB1
(subcarrier 0 of the CORESET)
1: otherwise (subcarrier 0 of CRB0 for DMRS mapping)
That wrong description created a misunderstanding, to overcome it we "wrongly" added a third value. This commit fixes that and aligns the CoreSetType with FAPI 222.10.04

The 5G-RFsim F1 test tested multiple DUs at one CU. This
functionality is retained in the new F1+E1 test.
The 5G-RFsim E1 test tested a single CU-UP at a single CU-CP. Here, we
extend to use multiple CU-UPs, one for each DU. The associated is
ensured by using three different F1-U transport networks, one for each
DU/CU-UP pair.
- Test only one DU at the CU (3 DUs is tested in F1+E1)
- Harmonize IP configuration to make it simpler to reuse in the F1+E1
test
- Speed up the test by reducing the number of steps to deploy core/RAN
- Add traffic test
binding the local address for SCTP is pointless, because we don't really
care through which interface SCTP traffic goes. Actually, we even might
want to set the DU remote_n_addr and the the local_n_addr to addresses
in different networks, because we might want to have GTP traffic go
through a different interface than SCTP, as done in the CI test for E1.
MR-2401 changed the argument to the init_nrUE_standalone_thread
to be zero instead of the ue_id_g. This causes every port to be
opened for multiple UEs to have the same value, therefore only
allowing one UE to be connected to the proxy. If the ue_id_g
global is an issue, we should open a new ticket for a proper fix.
We set the RFsim TCP socket to non-blocking. Thus, it may happen that we
cannot write() to the socket when the kernel cannot handle the request,
in which case we wait some time before trying again. This is the
correct/expected behavior.
Since this is *normal*, an error message is not justified; we did not
even print a message in this case before commit 21790f9c4f introduced it.
When setting up bearer(s) through F1, the corresponding F1 message has
QoS fields for the DRB(s) to be set up, as well as for all flows
associated to this DRB. In this commit, set the DRB QoS field to be
equal to the first flow (it is unclear/unspecified how it should be set
up, based on the flows), which was not set before and therefore
contained unitialized data.
The F1 module uses this data, and in split mode, F1 message generation
failed due to uninitialized data.
We reuse RRC UE IDs at the RRC. Previous to this commit, we did not
release a UE at the CU-CP's PDCP (for SRBs). Thus, when reconnecting a
UE, the PDCP might not be in a good state, since we did not release the
previous PDCP UE context.

When the gNB does not receive PUCCH with Ack for Msg4 we have to consider Msg4 received by the UE, so we need to apply the CellGroupConfig sent to the UE.
There are two scenarios:
1 - The UE never decoded PDSCH for Msg4, the RA will fail because RA Contention Resolution timer, the UE will come with a new RA with new RRCSetupRequest
2 - The UE decoded PDSCH for Msg4, and if SR does not work and no resources for PUSCH, it will trigger RA with MAC CE C-RNTI in Msg3 (so, gNB must be ready for it)

The CellGroup is created considering UID, for example:
'pucchres0->startingPRB = 8 + uid;' and since we keep the CellGroup from
the previous RNTI/UID we should keep also the previous UID.
Considering the scenario where a UE did successful RRCReestablishment,
it was getting uid = 1, and uid = 0 was removed.
When another UE connected, it was getting UID = 0 (because 0 was already
free), and so the PUCCH 0 resource was conflicting with the first UE.
On that occasion, also correct the comment that describes the code, as
it was wrong/misleading.

The macrlc_has_f1 (static) variable was introduced to signal when we use
F1 in the configuration. It is superfluous: the node_type already passes
this information in a unique manner; hence, remove.
Correctly match UEs based on the NSSAI in MAC and RRC. There is a
convenience function capture_sst_sd() that extracts SST and SD (which
form the NSSAI). Because a previous version used integers to convey the
slice identifier, this function gracefully handles this case, although
it is not spec-compliant.
Prior to this commit, the RAN function for KPM is leaking memory: it
allocates using calloc() but never frees it.
The fix consists of not allocating this memory on the heap in the first
place, but on the stack. Therefore, there are changes to pass in a
pointer to various functions to the structure on the stack, instead of
passing the "container" for the heap memory by value.
Further, the MAC was allocating an excessive amount of memory (N times
sizeof(NR_UE_info_t)). Instead of copying the entire struct, the present
code stores a pointer to the MAC UE container (NR_UE_info_t *). For the
RRC, there is a similar simplification that consists in not storing the
entire struct f1_ue_data_t (which is not required), but only the RRC UE
ID.
Note that both MAC and RRC might suffer from race conditions. For the
MAC, we should lock the scheduler for the time we read statistics. For
the RRC, the problem is more delicate as no mutex exists; the RRC
assumes everything is executed synchronously in the ITTI task loop. In
both cases, this commit does not address this problem
Filtering UEs by NSSAI is broken, so remove it. A later commit will
reestablish this functionality.
Simplify the code: we only handle one condition, so we can check for it
upfront.
This commit introduces an additional (implicit) option that signals if
the E2 agent is to be activated or not. When reading the configuration,
we now check if all fields are set, and activate the E2 agent only if
this is the case. If not, we only print a warning and start the gNB
without the agent.
Note that previously, if not all fields are set correctly, the gNB
stopped.
To implement this behavior, it is necessary to change the defaults of
the RIC IP and the directory for SMs to a (non-NULL) default value.
Otherwise, the configuration system would not consider the field to be
set to the default, and wrongly assumes the field is set, even though it
is not; at least, this change is necessary to make config_isparamset()
return NULL if the configuration is not set.
3GPP has the concept of a gNB-CU-UP ID and a (separate) gNB ID (for gNB,
CU-CP). This commit introduces the gNB-CU-UP as a separate ID that has to be
set in the configuration file when running as a CU-UP. For the
CU/monolithic gNB, it is optional (but needs to be the same as the
gNB-ID if specified).
The CU-UP ID is necessary, as some entities, e.g., the e2 agent, need to
signal both IDs, e.g., to reconcile a CU-CP and (multiple) CU-UP(s)
belonging together.
3GPP has the concept of a gNB-DU ID and a (separate) gNB ID (for gNB,

A COTS UE is sending UE capabilities with accessStratumRelease "rel16"
which is not decoded by our RRC. Switching to RRC 16.13.0 lets our RRC
accept these capabilities (and as a positive side effect lets this
particular UE work nicely in NSA fr1).
cleanup means:
- typo: susbend -> suspend
- call nr_pdcp_manager_unlock() where needed
- simplify LOG_XX (remove __FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNCTION__)
note:
nr_pdcp_release_srb() and nr_pdcp_release_drb() don't use
nr_pdcp_release_drb() because they modify the arrays, so
it does not make sense to "abstract" the accesses to
->srb and ->drb.
Security part needs to be checked, may fail to work.
But if it fails, it was probably not working before either.
This commit also contains adding 'static' to nr_pdcp_entity_release()
and nr_pdcp_entity_delete() (it was too complicated to do a separate
commit for this).
We also update stats in free_rx_list() (again, too complicated for
a separate commit).
openair2/RRC/NR/rrc_gNB.c probably needs some more work, it is a
bit ugly to reestablish all the drbs without checking if they
exit. It will generate warnings at runtime. I didn't do it because
I don't know the proper way.
The function generateDRB() sets the value to 100ms but the function
rrc_gNB_process_NGAP_PDUSESSION_SETUP_REQ() sets it to 0ms.
So what happens is that the UE gets the value 100ms in the
RRC Reconfiguration but the gNB creates the PDCP entity with 0ms.
Let's create it with 100ms instead, to be aligned with how we configure
the UE.
And also avoid some PDCP warnings at runtime when some packets
are retransmitted but rejected because of the 0ms timer. This is
the warning:
[PDCP] discard NR PDU rcvd_count=68469, entity->rx_deliv 68481,sdu_in_list 0
This is just a hotfix. A real solution is to have the RB creation in
only one place. And we should also have those parameters configurable.
Work for later.

T trace, the compilation succeeds when using ninja in
cmake_targets/ran_build/build.
When using the make system to generate T files, if you change
T_messages.txt you may have problems compiling the gnb with ninja.
If you want to see the problem:
First run: cd cmake_targets; ./build_oai --ninja --gNB
Then: cd common/utils/T
edit T_messages.txt, add a trace, for example:
---
ID = ENB_PHY_UL_TOCK
DESC = eNodeB uplink tick - one tick per ms at start of uplink processing
GROUP = ALL:PHY:GRAPHIC:ENB
FORMAT = int,eNB_ID : int,frame : int,subframe
---
then run: make
then: cd cmake_targets/ran_build/build; ninja nr-softmodem
You should have an error looking like this:
---

Let's first isolate the generated T .h files when using make because
we have two versions of T_IDs.h and T_messages.txt.h when mixing
make/cmake.
A next commit will regenerate T_IDs.h and T_messages.txt.h when
T_messages.txt chages for the cmake system, because this commit
does not solve the problem.

Multiple DUs host cells, whose cell ID cannot match (to identify them
uniquely). Hence, don't check for equality with CU, because otherwise,
we can never connect multiple DUs.
This is a workaround for a problem described in #706. In short, we
cannot reuse the cu_add/remove_f1_ue_data() functions if we are in an
integrated CU-UP/CP ("CU"), but then we can also not reliably use
different UE IDs in CU-UP and CU-CP (except if using even more hacks).
An assoc_id of 0 is used to mark UEs whose DU is "offline" (not
connected). In this patch, if a DU disconnects, we go through all UEs
and set their assoc_id to 0 if they belong to a UE that just went
offline.
This code printed BW masks (what is this) and number of MIMO layers. It
was dependent on the current DU, and only showed the information for the
current DU config (SCS, band). On DU disconnect, it leads to segfaults
to this dependency, and IMO is not useful in itself (it could rather be
printed when receiving the UE capabilities, for all bands etc.).
To allow to send F1 messages to multiple DUs from the CU, we need to
send these messages via different assoc_id (SCTP association ID,
basically akin to a file descriptor). Currently, the assoc_id is stored
in a context at the F1 module and retrieved in
f1ap_itti_send_sctp_data_req().
To facilitate a later change towards indicating (from the RRC) to which
assoc_id (hence, DU) to send a message, we refactor all
CU_send_*()/DU_send_*() functions to take the assoc_id as a parameter to
which to send messages. In this commit, we then pass the assoc_id from
the context. A later commit changes this (at the CU) to pass the
assoc_id from the message to be sent.
Previous to this commit, the CU creates an F1 instance and initializes
GTP after a successful connection establishment, and tears the F1
instance down after the DU disconnects. This does not work when trying
to connect multiple DUs, or have them reconnect, as e.g., GTP
re-initialization fails (socket already bound).
This commit makes the CU F1 instance creation and GTP init at CU task
init (only once), and also frees the F1 instance only after the CU task
exits, which is at termination of the application, typically.
Remove dead code, result of 2136ceec0d: we
cannot connect() in GTP on multiple remotes (as then only packets of one
host might be received), but might need to send to multiple remote
sockets.
The DU UE capability printing depends on data on SCS and band, which
currently is only stored with the DU. To avoid any assert, we check
that the DU is present. A follow-up commit will rework this.
Before this commit, as visible in the handler of an F1 UE release, it
can happen that we forward the RRC Release message to a UE and start the
release timer, while also removing the F1 UE data (containing e.g., the
CU UE ID). This can lead to asserts, since there might still be
subsequent traffic for such UE during a short time, while the DU does
not have the secondary UE ID stored anymore.
This commit changes the logic. It introduces function
nr_mac_release_ue() that removes the UE at MAC and RLC, frees the F1 UE
data (if applicable), and sends the complete, after timing expiry. If
the UE is out of sync, this function is used to free the UE immediately.
This fixes#685 and #698.

Introduce a --no-itti-threads command line option to disable threading
in ITTI, and call message handlers in the current thread. This is being
introduced in order to increase repeatability when testing the nrUE with
the IQPlayer. Without this feature, runs with the IQPlayer will end up
differently, depending on the timing of ITTI threads, mostly when
sending messages to RRC and NAS.
Before this commit, the DMRS_UplinkConfig was stored in a separate
DMRS-related structure, although it is always referenced in the
PUSCHConfig of the current UL BWP.
Through certain code paths (e.g., retransmission), it could happen that
an old DMRS_UplinkConfig was accessed that was freed (through new
CellGroupConfig).
In this commit, we always look up the DMRS_UplinkConfig in the current
PUSCH config, which should always be up to date.
Until this commit, the SIB1's PDCCH_configCommon was set (via a pointer,
i.e., an indirection) to the one of the ServingCellConfigCommon (SCC).
Afterwards, the SIB1 code further populated this PDCCH configCommon,
indirectly populating the one of the the SCC, on which code later
depends.
Not only did this create possibilities for double-frees (since freeing
the memory of SIB1, then SCC would free the PDCCH configcommon twice),
but also it makes it harder to track where certain structures are
populated. Hence, this commit solves both issues:
- The SCC is correctly populated on initialization of the SCC
- The SIB1 makes a deep copy of the SCC' PDCCH configCommon
This resolves the two issues above.
This allows to communicate with multiple remote hosts. A further
improvement would be to refactor this piece of code into a function and
call it only when necessary, i.e., when we know the remote host, or want
to add one to a list of hosts.
This commit introduces the capability to handle multiple CU-UPs. It uses
a RB tree and puts the CU-UPs into the tree. Upon the connection, it
associates UEs to CU-UPs in a round-robin fashion.
A later commit will introduce an RB tree to manage multiple CU-UPs. The
RB tree implementation relies on some macros that generate RB tree
functions. Functions using the RB tree implementation will be grouped in
this file.
The E1AP Setup Request contained the network configuration (IP address,
ports) as well as the actual E1AP Setup Request application data
(Supported PLMNs, ...). This has the drawbacks that
- The E1AP Setup Request is stored to retrieve IP addresses in the E1AP
module, which is confusing as the Setup Request, per standard, has no IP
info
- The CU-CP received an E1 Setup Request for configuration during start
up, but it did not actually receive such Setup Request, but merely the
IP configuration to set up the socket
This commit splits the E1AP Setup Request into a "real" Setup Request
for application data, and creates a new type e1ap_net_config_t to group
all IP configuration data. Further, a new ITTI message type
E1AP_REGISTER_REQ is introduced to group both types. What happens is
- RCconfig_NR_CU_E1() reads both E1AP application-level data and IP
configuration, as previously
- The data is sent to the CU-CP. It discards the E1AP Setup Request
data, and only uses the network configuration to set up the socket
- The data is sent to the CU-UP. It uses the network configuration to
connect to the CU-CP, and then sends the E1AP Setup Request to the
CU-CP.
Currently, the CU-CP still stores the Setup Request locally, which will
be changed in the next commit to send it to the RRC.
The DRBLists inside E1AP message are for E-UTRAN. We don't support that
with our CU-CP/UP yet, so remove it to reduce ambiguity and complexity.
For the same reason, we remove the CN Support, which for us is always
"NR".

This enables build_oai to detect if the output terminal supports colors.
If it does, it will use colors in its output. If it does not, it will
just print the text, without color codes, improving legibility.
PDU Length is as per SCF 222.10.02: The total length (in bytes) of the
PDU description and PDU data, without the padding bytes. From
TX_DATA.request we get 8 (2 bytes PDU_Length + 2 bytes PDU_Index + 4
bytes num_TLV ) and from each TLV we get 4 + value size ( 2 bytes tag +
2 bytes length + value size without pading)
Therefore, add function to compute PDU_length() value for
TX_Data.request, taking into account how many TLVs there are.
compute_PDU_length() does not rely on access to `nfapi_nr_pdu_t`.
Put it into nr_mac_common.c to avoid introducing dependencies.

The UE should measure on the SSB, otherwise it does not see anything.
Hence, this commit fixes the meas-config to request the UE to measure
on the right frequency.
tx_next was increased only when all segments of an SDU were sent to
lower layers. This may lead to a situation where the receive entity
transmits a control PDU that is rejected because it sets its ACK to
tx_next+1 (if all segments were not transmitted when the control PDU
is sent).
What is done now is to increase tx_next as soon as we send the first
segment of an SDU to lower layers. A control PDU received from the
receive entity is now accepted and processed.
Specifications (38.322 5.2.3.1.1) say to increase tx_next when the
RLC entity receives an SDU from upper layers. But for us, since the
buffering of SDUs is done in the RLC layer and since the buffer size
may be big, we may increase tx_next too much. The choice has been
made to increase it only when we transmit an SDU to lower layers.
We may change this logic if needed. (But it won't be simple.)

- store the assoc ID of a UE at the RRC
- if F1 receives an SCTP shutdown, it removes the endpoint
- F1 will also send an "F1 Lost Connection" message to the RRC
- it is not yet possible to reconnect a DU after it had already been
connected at the CU, since the CU F1AP task will try to rebind GTP,
which fails
- MAC creates CellGroupConfig and sends to RRC
- the RRC does not manually update the CellGroupConfig
- MAC handles the RRC processing timer
In this commit, any updates to the CellGroupConfig previously done at
the RRC don't work. In other words, MIMO etc don't work; this is
implemented in the next commit.
Note that the change to take out spCellConfig during reestablishment is
because after reestablishment, as per spec (38.331 5.3.7.2), the UE
should drop the spCellConfig, which we generate by default on the first
UE connection.
Furthermore, add a new variable apply_cellgroup to signal if, after RRC
processing timer, we wish to apply the CellGroup. In some situations,
e.g., Msg.4 ack, we do not want to apply the CellGroup, because for
instance in reestablishment, we await for a reconfiguration of cellgroup
that would be triggered too early.
!SIB1 is not correctly filled! This commit does not work with COTS UEs!
The next commit fixes this.
- Move radio config (e.g., minRXTXTIME, SIB1 TDA, do_SRS, etc) down to
MAC.
- Some parameters in MAC are redundant: delete them.
- Remove call to nr_mac_config_scc() from RRC and simulators, the MAC
initialization routine calls it implicitly
Previously, filling of F1 Setup Request depended on reading the RRC;
hence, for timing reasons, we only initialized and sent the F1 Setup
Request once the MAC and RRC are ready.
After moving SCC, SCD, MIB, and SIB1 to MAC, the MAC does not depend on
an RRC being present anymore, and hence, the F1 Setup Request does
neither. In this commit, we read the F1 Setup Request after initializing
the MAC.
The MasterInformationBlock is handled at the DU and sent to the CU in
the F1 Setup Response. Hence, move it down to the MAC. Furthermore:
- Change type because MIB_PDU_t is 4G type
- Simplify schedule_nr_mib()
Note: the reestablishment is broken, and a later commit fixes it.
The ServingCellConfigCommon is an inherently radio-related
configuration. As such, it should be handled by the DU, not the CU.
Therefore, move it "down" to the MAC.
- send F1 Setup using callback
- store f1 setup req locally for reference
- check F1 Setup Req against RRC data structures:
* if matches: send F1 Setup Response using callback
* if not matching: send F1 Setup Failure using callback
- don't send CU config update by default, we don't need this
- if the Setup Response does not contain a cell, don't activate. It is
possible the CU sends a gNB-CU configuration update, which will
initialize the structures
Use a struct to initialize the RRC at the beginning, and remove the
NRRRC_CONFIGURATION_REQ. This message is not necessary; the RRC/CU
should be initialized from the F1 Setup Request, coming from the DU.
Before this commit, we did not read the ServingCellConfigCommon (SCC)
completely at start; rather, we read most (but not all) of it, then also
the minRXTXTIME, and at RRC initialization in
openair_rrc_gNB_configuration(), we filled the
pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList into the SCC, depending on the
minRXTXTIME.
The reason might be that we read part of the SCC, use that to fill the
NRRRC_CONFIGURATION_REQ, read also the minRXTXTIME (part of the RRC
config), and then we have all we need to "finalize the SCC". Since we
move everything to the MAC, I avoid too much upfront code changes,
hardcode the minRXTXTIME (and check with an assert), and undo this in a
later commit when the "RRC config" relevant for radio parameters, e.g.,
minRXTXTIME, is moved to MAC.
I verified the equality of the SCC before (at the end
openair_rrc_gNB_configuration()) and after (at the end of
get_scc_config()) this commit manually using a printf, assuming that
after RRC initialization, we didn't do any further modifications to the
SCC. But in fact, I cannot know that we don't do it...
This branch series implements the usage of the F1 Setup Request
internally at the gNB, even if CU and DU run in the same process. Until
now, the F1 Setup Request contained struct fields to pass IP
configuration to the F1AP module; this information is not necessary in
monolithic, nor should it be relevant when passing the information in
F1 Setup Request.
Therefore, this commit moves all IP connection-related information out
of the F1 Setup Request and into a separate structure instead. In order
to give the F1AP module the necessary connection information, the
DU_REGISTER_REQ message is introduced that combines the F1 Setup Request
and IP configuration, such that the F1AP module can setup the SCTP
connection and then send the F1 Setup Request message.
In a later commit, there will be a callback for F1 Setup Request at MAC
to simply register the DU at the CU. The monolithic callback will simply
forward the F1 Setup Request The F1AP callback will look up the IP
configuration and create DU_REGISTER_REQ message containing IP
configuration and F1 Setup Request, which is then handled by the F1AP
module. To this end, a separate function in gnb_config.c allows to read
IP information from configuration.
Instead of storing the F1 Setup Request implicitly in F1 context, we
provide the F1 Setup Request message to be encoded explicitly to the
encoding function.
In the case of MIMO, we reused memory to point to the same PUCCH
resource. This is problematic, since ASN_STRUCT_FREE() would try to free
this resource twice.
This commit changes to create distinct memory for the PUCCH resources,
while putting the same configuration to still use the same PUCCH
resource from a radio configuration point of view.

* Lower scheduler PF averaging constant
This time constant plays a major role in how long a UE has to wait
maximally before it might be scheduled. For instance, if a UE had a lot
of traffic, the average traffic will be high, pushing the PF coefficient
down. If another UE with no traffic in the past becomes active with
heavy traffic, the first UE might not be scheduled for an extended
period of time.
In the AW2S-Amarisoft UE CI test pipeline, we sometimes see that the
maximum number of RLC retransmissions was reached. While this might not
be the (only) cause, scheduling a UE more often might prevent such
situations, and we saw an improved stability.
After removing RA.crnti, there is no need to use a separate function
nr_generate_Msg3_dcch_dtch_response() to generate Msg.4 (yes, the
function mentions Msg3 but it does Msg3 response == Msg.4).
Also, using nr_generate_Msg4() has the advantage that it waits until we
have the reconfiguration available in RLC to be sent to the UE. Finally,
we can delete the old nr_generate_Msg3_dcch_dtch_response() as we don't
need it anymore.
When t_poll_retransmit expires we need to consider an SDU for
retransmission.
We used to take the first SDU (which could be a segment, not a full SDU)
of the wait list and put it in the retransmit list.
When testing with some UE (Amarisoft UE) a bad behavior was detected.
This is what happens for the SDU with SN 6 (for illustration purpose).
The gNB is sending an SDU in several pieces (it is segmented).
slot n: rlc sn 6 [1 .. 119[ p=0 RECEIVED
slot n+x: rlc sn 6 ]120 .. 180[ p=0 RECEIVED
slot n+x+y: rlc sn 6 ]181 .. 210] p=1 not RECEIVED
Then when t_poll_retransmit expires rlc retransmits only the PDU of
slot n (with p=1 this time) and the UE replies with ack 6. So nothing
happens on the gnb side.
(We would have expected ack 7 + nack 6 181..end.)
Then after t_poll_retransmit expires again rlc retransmits only PDU
of slot n and the UE still replies with ack 6.
This goes on forever (or some other timeout occurs.)
The logic is now changed.
When t_poll_retransmit expires we transfer all the SDUs in the wait list
having the same SN as the head of the wait list into the retransmit list.
Testing with Amarisoft UE, it seems to work properly.
The RA.crnti field is marked as being used by NSA mode, but it is not.
OTOH, it is used in the case of RA with Msg.3 with C-RNTI MAC CE. The
latter does not necessarily need it, though, as we can change the RNTI
of the RA process when we receive C-RNTI MAC CE.
This introduces a slight complication, though, as we cannot remove the
MAC UE Context (generated when receiving Msg.3) directly when parsing
the C-RNTI MAC CE. Previously, we had both rnti and crnti in the RA
struct, and when sending Msg.4 after Msg.3 with C-RNTI MAC CE, we would
remove the UE context (this is changed in the next commit). Therefore,
we employ nr_mac_trigger_release_timer() which releases the UE after
60ms, circumventing this complication.
The RRC should not trigger RLC bearer establishment: this should be done
only via F1, and in the remaining code (removed here), this principle
was violated.
Further, this code was doubly wrong, as it used the CU UE ID for the
RLC, setting up bearers with IDs 1,2,3 etc instead of the RNTI.
The MAC_NR target is not needed; every dependent target also links
L2_NR. Therefore, this target just creates double compilation. We can
remove it without problems.

This commit repairs the reestablishment after the introduction of the CU
UE ID in the CU, different from the DU UE ID. Now, the CU uses an
identifier different from the RNTI, used in the MAC, to refer to UEs.
To repair the reestablishment, a number of changes needed to be
introduced:
- Handle old_gNB_DU_UE_id in MAC
The MAC handles the old_gNB_DU_UE_id field in the DL RRC Message. The
commit adds encoding/decoding of the field. The MAC will drop the old
UE, but retain the CellGroup of the corresponding UE(!). Because a UE
releases the spCellGroup on reestablishment, the MAC does the same; it
needs to reapply the old configuration after a reconfiguration. For the
latter, introduce new variables to keep a "future" CellGroupConfig to be
applied (reconfigCellGroup) and a flag (expect_reconfiguration) that
applies the CellGroupConfig if a DL RRC Message transfer on DCCH, which
is assumed to be the reconfiguration.
- Add RNTI change in RLC
The RLC needs to reuse the old UE context. Hence, we simply change the
RNTI in the old context, and delete the new one.
- No PDCP UE ID change
The previous implementation of the PDCP used the RNTI; hence, the ID
needed to be switch (as above for the RLC). Since the PDCP now also uses
the CU UE ID, no identifier change is needed, and we remove all
corresponding code.
- No MAC modifications/update from CU
As foreseen by the spec, the CU does not modify or change the
cellGroupConfig in the RRC during reestablishment. This change will be
generalized in the future to all of the RRC. Also, the
nr_rrc_mac_remove_ue() function has been removed: the MAC handles any UE
changes autonomeously, without being triggered from the RRC explicitly.
- Remove reestablish_rnti_map
The RRC does not use RNTIs for UE identification. Hence, a
reestablish_rnti_map to link two UEs to each other is not necessary
anymore.
After a reestablishment, the PDCP sequence number counters have to be
reset. Implement an API to allow the RRC to reset the sequence numbers
for a particular UE in the case of reestablishment
The RRC gives its own RRC UE ID. It won't intervene if DUs assign the same RNTI to different UEs: it simply does not care what the DUs do with the RNTI.
- Use the same CU-UP in E1 as in CU-CP: we don't have a separate entity
to allocate IDs, and we just use the same as the CU-CP
- Correct gNB CU-UP/CP UE IDs in E1AP message types to 32bit
- Set CU UP UE ID explicitly for clarity
- Remove RNTI from E1 messages, E1 does not know what an RNTI is
The UE had a list of known UEs. With the introduction of a separate
module for F1 UE ID handling that is also used in monolithic (to
separate CU UE ID from DU UE ID), this functionality is not needed, and
deleted in this commit.
Previously, the F1AP handler called various functions directly, instead
of sending an ITTI message to the RRC thread. This has two drawbacks:
- it can lead to data races if the RRC task uses functionality that is
being accessed by the F1 task through this function
- no homogeneity: all other handlers send an ITTI message, so this one
should too
- The CU/DU UE ID is used in DL RRC Message Transfer
- Note: The CU UE ID currently is still the RNTI
- on every DL RRC Message, the DU verifies that the UE exists
- Refactor RRC: common function to forward protected SRB PDUs
The RRC uses gNB_ue_ngap_id as its primary ID; the following commits
will introduce the usage of the (F1) gNB CU UE ID. This commits renames
the gNB_ue_ngap_id to rrc_ue_id to better reflect its usage as the RRC's
primary UE ID.
It will be used as the NGAP and F1 (CU) UE IDs.
for reusing the old UE Context after reestablishment: we have to free a
UE context, but that also free's the RA process that we still need.
Remove here
Is this necessary?
The thread pool provides user data to be stored by (pre-)allocating the
necessary memory. A previous attempt was made to have this user data
aligned on a 32 byte boundary (e.g., to prevent segfault with SIMD
instructions, or avoid inefficient data access); the current
implementation, however, leads to unaligned memory access.
This patch attempts again to implement user data to be 32 byte aligned.
First, use memalign() to allocate the actual job on a 32 byte boundary.
Second, use alignas(32) to align the pointer to the user data to be
aligned to 32 bytes. Since it is the last member of the struct, this
ensures that user data, which is allocated right behind it, will be
aligned to 32 bytes as well.
Newer GCC releases warn about the scope being uninitialized:
openair1/PHY/TOOLS/nr_phy_scope.c:1076:20: error: ‘graph.text’ is used uninitialized [-Werror=uninitialized]
This is correct, as we don't initialize the scope. This commit correctly
initializes the scope.
Config options --reconfig_file and --rbconfig-file have been introduced
to modify the filenames of reconfig.raw and rbconfig.raw (e.g., in the
case of multiple UEs). These filen*ames* were to be prepended with
--rrc_config_path to set the path. In summary, three options were
necessary, when two are sufficient.
In this commit, change to the options --reconfig-file and
--rbconfig-file (slight change for harmonization with other options,
which mostly use dashes) to give the full path to the corresponding
files, and avoid to surprise users who would not expect to have three
options.
--rrc_config_path has been deprecated and an error will be printed if a
user attempts to use it.

The results of individual UEs (e.g., ping) is listed vertically, like
so:
| ping results | UE1 |
| | UE2 |
| | UE3 |
Where UE1, UE2, ... represents an entire box with results for UE 1, 2,
... For many UEs, this results in considerable need for vertical space. This
commit changes to something like the following to save space:
| ping results | UE1 UE2 UE3 |
For a single UE, this commit has no major impact (the boxes are not
stretched to width anymore).
A side effect of the previous commit's refactoring is that we mark the
pipeline as failed if a (packet loss/bitrate) threshold is violated.
Previously, the HTML would contain a "Perf not met" hint, but be marked
as successful.
This commit introduces more realistic thresholds for various pipeline
runs. The values are arbitary, following the performances in pipelines
that were marked as successful, but actually had performance problems.
They allow, though, a pipeline to pass following the normal performance
we saw the last weeks.
Jenkins is programmed to send e-mails, but most people don't use it:
- the mail has all results in the attachments, but it is clumsy to
navigate between mail reader and browser, and CSS is not correct
- there is no link to the actual results
- everybody gets a notification from Gitlab, since we also post it there
Also, everybody who I asked told me they don't like this mail. Let's get
rid of it.
As specified in TS 38.211 Section 7.3.2.3, c_init is the result of a mod
2^31. Before this commit, the code assumed a wrong, implicit mod 2^32,
even though the comment says otherwise.
As described in common/utils/config.h, it is possible to hook into the
asn1c tracing mechanism to print logs.
This commit fixes a regression to print theses traces properly in OAI.
Above-mentioned file explains also how to reduce the amount of logs,
e.g., for single code blocks.
There is already common/utils/config.h. This file(name) is hardcoded as
it is included into asn1c, and cannot be renamed. To avoid a name clash
and confusing, we rename T's config.h/c to configuration.h/c.
The T trace names need to match the logging system names (apparently).
In commit 5f5b8f2914, we renamed the
logging system group to avoid a name clash, but omitted the T trace
names.
This is corrected in this commit to make everything compile nicely.
By using oai_exit in log.c, LOG depends on being compiled into an
executable that defines such symbol, which is not always the case (nor
does it make sense).
oai_exit is only used in a loop to optionally write out memory. The
loop could relatively easily be aborted by setting a variable:
Some distributions, e.g., CentOS8 or RHEL8, ship with an old cmake
(v2.8). To provide a newer, they have a separate cmake3 package, where a
recent cmake version is in program cmake3. To be agnostic, build_helper
detects the distribution and choses the cmake program to use.
This commit uses the correct cmake, which is provided in the environment
variable $CMAKE.

In case of noS1-mode, we initialize the 'logicalChannelBearer_exist' array element for the pre-configured DRB0 in function 'nr_l2_init_ue()'.
That array is indexed with the LCID.
For DRB0, the LCID is 4.
Unfortunately, the code incorrectly used the array at index 0.
Therefore, the UE sent neither scheduling requests nor buffer status reports, what resulted in extremely poor UL throughput.
For FR2 and including analog beamforming, we control the beams via GPIO
on radio units.
In this commit, introduce a configuration option to switch the GPIO
control for different devices: "generic" is the current GPIO control,
"interdigital" configures the GPIO configuration to be used with an
InterDigital device.
There is a conflict with some E2AP definitions that put ASN as a
preprocessor definition. To avoid this conflict, and since ASN1 is more
descriptive than ASN, we change the logging mechanism name from ASN to
ASN1.
The RLC tests were not compiling because of the include of
openair2/RRC/NR/rrc_gNB_radio_bearers.h
by
openair2/LAYER2/nr_rlc/nr_rlc_entity.h
which does not seem correct/necessary to start with.
The only thing needed by nr_rlc_entity.h from rrc_gNB_radio_bearers.h
is MAX_DRBS_PER_UE which can be defined in common/platform_constants.h
like NGAP_MAX_PDU_SESSION.

These timings shifted slightly in an MR recently. Since it is only
micro-seconds, and these thresholds are much higher in the 60 MHz (1x1
and 2x2) tests, it is safe to increase.
This function is used during initial synchronization, only.
This typo leads to wrong computation of the OFDM symbol start within a slot, after PBCH decoding.
The result is a time offset and therefore a rotation in frequency domain for the initial PDCCH and PDSCH (SIB1) reception.
The T tools offering a GUI use libxft as a dependency. By default, we
try to limit the amount of dependencies, but libxft comes with X11.
Put the GUI tools behind cmake option T_TOOLS_GUI (default: off) to only
build on demand with a cmake option.
nr_mac_prepare_ra_ue() is called with the scheduler being locked via
NR_SCHED_ENSURE_LOCKED(), but if there is no free RA process, it
unlocks the scheduler via NR_SCHED_UNLOCK(). This is commit fixes this.
In short, when calling nr_mac_prepare_ra_ue(), the scheduler is locked,
and should always return with the scheduler being locked.

$ make # all executables are there
or also
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake .. -GNinja
$ ninja T_tools # all executables are in build/common/utils/T/tracer
We disable for two reasons:
- in the CI, with clang, it did not build once, but I cannot reproduce
locally (even with clang)
- we want to maintain to be able to build without T tracer, so in one

* CMakeLists.txt files changed to support .C and .H file generation for XNAP
commit ddf549b1f3 moved the CMakeLists.txt
for building radio libraries down to radio/. Previously, each option
would also declare a constant (e.g., OAI_USRP for USRP). With the
definition being below radio/, the executables don't have that define.
This commits removes the couple of defines that were in place:
- one that only shows a log, but it also applies for e.g., rfsimulator.
It is also missing in the CI. Simply put it back
- two other places guard a commented(!) function call, which can go out
entirely
Instead of using ninja/make directly, there is a cmake command option to
trigger the build using whatever build tool has been configured. Use it;
if there is a mismatch, there will also be a clearer cmake error.
Remove build_oai's --build-coverity: we don't use it, and it can
trivially be added if required (probably, most users would run it by
hand anyway).
Add an error if the compilations function is not called with the right
noumber of arguments.
If it was one, build_oai without parameters would attempt to build the
ethernet library. However, this is unexpected, and will lead to an error
(as it is by default off in CMake). Set it to off, and build it where
required.
- move following radios: AW2S, BladeRF, IRIS, LMSSDR, RFsimulator, USRP
- move following transports: Ethernet, benetel4g, benetel5g
- for each: create independent cmake variable to switch compilation
on/off, in order: OAI_AW2S, OAI_BLADERF, OAI_IRIS, OAI_LMSSDR,
OAI_SIMU, OAI_USRP, OAI_ETHERNET, OAI_BENETEL4G, OAI_BENETEL5G
- Remove RF_BOARD variable, allows to compile multiple boards at once
- where applicable: remove USERSPACE/LIB in path, i.e., move files up to
directories, as all are userspace libraries
Note that with the above, it is now mandatory to enable a radio
implementation before compiling it, e.g., for USRP:
./build_oai -w USRP
cmake .. -DOAI_USRP=ON && ninja oai_usrpdevif
Including sources in targets makes that file being compiled multiple
times. Instead, define an OBJECT library (i.e., it is only compiled, but
not linked), and link it into each target that uses it.
Instead of using the adhoc code for checking and including (globally!)
BLAS/LAPACKE, use PkgConfig to correctly identify libs (see deleted
comment: "Hope this gets fixed in future!" -- you are welcome). Next,
only link into those libraries that need it (PHY_UE, SIMU). Note that
only RHEL also needs cblas, so it is a non-REQUIREd dependency that is
only linked in if available. Further, take out linking into all other
modules, as they don't need it.
In the source code, take out preprocessor directives to correctly
include headers -- that is cmake's job, which it does just fine now.
First, we do not include openssl globally using `include_directories()`,
as most modules don't need it. Further, it is linked into SECURITY, and
removed from all other targets (they don't need it, only SECURITY).
Finally, remove a header include in NR PDCP that is not needed
- LINUX: option to optionally set a sighandler for certain simulators,
no practical relevance
- LINUX_LIST: not used anywhere
- DEBUG_DLSCH: referenced in the code, but those files have a separate
(commented) line `#define DEBUG_DLSCH`; probably never used
- LINK_ENB_PDCP_TO_IP_DRIVER, LINK_ENB_PDCP_TO_GTPV1U: commented in
cmake, although they are referenced. It is likely that code behaves
unexpected if re-enabled; we therefore remove these options to avoid
future problems
- Remove some more commented code
ENB_MODE is a cmake option to swap the order of include directories.
This has historical reasons; before OAI used cmake, it was very
sensitive to the order of includes. Nowadays, the order does not matter.
Remove this option, and fix the compilation issues that arise while
doing so.

1. Adding a "SL" frequency for Sidelink mode. The
importance of this variable is to ensure that
when we are in mode 1 (UE+UE+gNB), that the slot
configuration and frequencies do not overlap. This
SL frequency is important for rotation and allows
us to utilize the OFDM modulation and demodulation
functions that already exist in OAI.
2. Adding sl_mode to the command line for proper UE
deployment when in SL mode. sl_mode can be set to 0,
1, or 2. sl_mode 0 indicates no-Sidelink at all,
mode 1 is gNB, UE, and UE (3GPP defines mode numbers).
sl_mode 2 indicated UE to UE communications with no
gNB at all.
3. New functions for calculating the carrier frequency
for SL mode.

For the reestablishment, the SRB2 in the RRC reconfiguration
following the reestablishment needs to include ReestablishPDCP true.
We were not sending that. In this commit, I add a parameter to
add that parameter on demand. There might be a better solution.
To allow users to install asn1c quickly in install, make this directory
to allow standalone execution of install_asn1c_from_source.
The instructions are now:
sudo ls # open sudo session, required by install_asn1c_from_source
. oaienv # read of default variables
. cmake_targets/tools/build_helper # read in functions
install_asn1c_from_source # install
CMake now takes the option ASN1C_EXEC to select an asn1c to use for
compilation. For instance, run with
cmake .. -GNinja -DASN1C_EXEC=/opt/asn1c/bin/asn1c
or
./build_oai --cmake-opt -DASN1C_EXEC=/opt/asn1c/bin/asn1c
to select the alternative asn1c. For instance, this is important for the
CI to allow to build multiple versions of OAI in parallel that might use
different commits of OAI.
Further, this patch introduces functionality to check for the support of
asn1c options that we require, and alerts the user if they are missing,
alongside a message of how to resolve the problem.
We don't work much on asn1c. The version we use has several bugs.
There is an active community out there that fixes bugs and improves
asn1c. Let's use their version.
We need to test security and integrity protection in the CI.
This commit activates ciphering+integrity protection for SRBs
and DRBs using nea2/nia2 for the amarisoft-ue + aw2s CI pipeline.
Previously, in f1ap_decoder.c, we asserted if we did not know a message.
Apart form decoding, we did not do anything in that file.
Additionally, in f1ap_handlers.c, we were also checking for an unknown
message, and printing a warning if a handler is not known.
This commit moves the F1AP message decoding to f1ap_handlers.c, and
deletes f1ap_decoder.c. In summary, we don't assert on an unknown
message, and compile less files. The rest is unchanged.

Different threads (e.g., RRC, DU tasks) might access the scheduler at
the same time as the thread that drivers the scheduler itself
(ru_thread). To avoid data races, introduce this mutex.
Most functions of the scheduler are only used internally and have been
marked static in the previous commit. The remaining ones, in this
commit, either lock the scheduler mutex sched_lock, or a comment has
been added of the assumption of how such function is to be locked (e.g.,
if it might be called from different places, or if it is called by a
function that already locks the scheduler).
To know which functions are used from outside and which are
module-local, make many functions static. This will allow us to protect
only those functions with a mutex for which it is necessary.
The CellGroupConfig should come from the DU. Currently, any update made
to the CellGroupConfig is done at CU. In split-operation, we have no way
of telling the DU about this update. Hence, in this commit, check if we
are in F1 split mode operation during a CellGroupConfig update, and if
so, suppress any updates to the CellGroupConfig, alongside a warning.

It may happen that the drb to configure is not 1, so we may need
this array in rrc_gNB_generate_dedicatedRRCReconfiguration().
Not tested, this commit is mostly to harmonize with other places in
openair2/RRC/NR/rrc_gNB.c
fill_default_secondaryCellGroup() is moved to nr_rrc_config.c.
Furthermore, the signature is changes to return the NR_CellGroupConfig
from the functions, instead of filling a pre-allocated structure (which
is, in all cases, allocated just before calling
fill_default_secondaryCellGroup().
There is a problem with this function: the function also fills the
ServingCellConfig (a parameter to this function). This behavior has not
been changed.
nr_DRB_preconfiguration() does a "pre-configuration" for the default DRB
for "noS1" mode, i.e., when there is no connection to core network. In
this case, there is no PDU session to be set up, and hence we need to
preconfigure the DRBs.
We replace this function with partially existing functions and a new
function fill_nr_noS1_bearer_config() which returns a bearer
configuration for the noS1 case, also better reflected in the function
name. It has also been moved to asn1_msg.c, away from the actual PDCP
layer.
For nr_DRB_preconfiguration() and fill_default_secondaryCellGroup(),
there is duplicated code to generate and RLC-BearerConfig, when calling
the existing get_DRB_RLC_BearerConfig() (with the right parameters)
yields a similar configuration (see exceptions below).
Differences:
- We do not support reestablishmentRLC, so we don't set it
- Set prioritisedBitrate to 8kbps instead of infinity (we don't
prioritize anything, anyway)
- bucketSizeDuration is 50ms instead of 100ms

This commit fixes a bug caused by global variables in the gNB_MAC_INST
structure used to transfer MAC scheduler's results to the PHY layer.
When using several threads in the PHY layer, it may happen that the
MAC scheduler is called a second time by the second PHY thread for the
next slot before the content of the global variables in the gNB_MAC_INST
structure used to store the result of the MAC scheduler for the current
slot have been consumed by the first thread, leading to unpredictable
results (all of them certainly wrong).
The solution is to introduce a small memory management module for the
interface between the PHY threads and the MAC scheduler. The MAC
scheduler now fills the data structures passed to it, and not a
global variable anymore. The PHY layer manages the structures and
ensures that no data is overwritten before being fully consumed by
the various threads of the PHY layer.
Some care has to be taken because several PHY threads will access the
same structures at the same time for a given slot (in read mode, so
it's okay). A mechanism of reference counting has thus been introduced.
Only one CC is supported. This restriction should not be too hard
to remove if/when needed. (The code before this commit does not seem
to work for more than one CC anyway.)

The UE copies scope data not in a single buffer to avoid overwiring in case of multiple slots processing in parallel. But the scope upates data from single buffer thats assigned during selection. A getPlotValue() method is created to update the data pointer on every timerEvent.

The GTP module is common for 4G and 5G. It hardcodes the functions to
call when creating S1U and NGU tunnels. The S1U case is both applicable
for LTE and NR (NSA), which until now was not a problem as the PDCP data
forwarding functions where called pdcp_data_req. The issue is that in this
branch, the NR PDCP functions have changed to nr_pdcp_data_req_drb().
When setting up a GTP tunnel, we now pass the PDCP data forwarding
functions into GTP, since the caller knows whether it is in 4G or 5G,
but GTP itself does not.
For some (unclear) reason, nr-softmodem with aw2s device does not print
"Bye." when stopping it with control+c, which is problematic in the CI.
This little hack solves the problem.
(Maybe not the right solution, to be changed if needed.)
In the UE, we wish to handle ^C in the UE to send a message before
terminating, so we allow custom wait handlers to implement such
functionality. Use itti_wait_tasks_unblock() to unblock
itti_wait_tasks_end().
Also, implement itti_wait_tasks_end() using semaphores, as signals are
not async-signal-safe (and therefore should not be used in a signal
handler).
nr_pdcp_entity_recv_sdu() processes PDCP SDUs, and forwards the PDU at the
end of the function, while having the PDCP lock. This can lead to
deadlocks, e.g., when another thread goes through RLC and tries to
access the PDCP while the PDCP tries to lock the RLC.
This commit changes the logic: instead of having recv_sdu() forward the
PDU directly, it fills a buffer with the PDU (thus the name change to
process_sdu()), and returns. We then unlock the PDCP, before forwarding
the PDU, thus eliminating potential deadlocks.
Creates function that have nr_pdcp_ prepended to their name, and change
the signature of some functions for the 5G PDCP:
- nr_pdcp_layer_init()
- nr_pdcp_data_req()
- nr_pdcp_remove_UE()
- nr_pdcp_config_set_security()
- nr_pdcp_remove_UE()
- Make separate functions for nr_pdcp_data_req_srb/drb()
Following changes are made:
1. Removed XMLs used in old pipeline lte-OAIEPC
2. Added TM1 and TM2 config, XML and YAML
3. Added pipeline details in TestBenches.md
4. Modification in Jenkins file for the pipeline
5. Added ping/iperf test cases in XML
6. Minor modification in cls_containerize.py and cls_oaicitest.py
The d array has to be cleared at the first usage, which may not necessarily
be when new_rx is true. For example, in case of DTX detected for a first
transmission, the next transmission won't have new_rx true, so d won't be
cleared, containing data from a previous transmission. Or when a LDPC
decoding is cancelled for a segment when new_rx is true, a decoding for
a retransmission will not clear d because then new_rx will not be true.
(Yes, the logic of cancellation will be changed in the future, but the
changes will be orthogonal to the ones of this commit.)
new_rx is removed.
The message is never sent to the RRC. And this message is to be
forwarded by the DU to the UE, hence it should not even be handled by
the RRC (as the RRC in the CU sends it).
During the Initial UL RRC Message, the CellGroup is created. Since the
CellGroup specifies the SRB1, the SRB1 should also be created (because
the DL RRC Messages is sent via SRB1). However, before this commit, the
CellGroup is created while having the RLC lock, so we cannot create
SRB1, as it results in a deadlock.
Therefore, we now first create CellGroup, SRB0, and SRB1, before giving
the UE message to the RLC.

The LOG_x() and T() logic was wrong.
LOG_x() goes to the terminal when T_stdout == 1 or T_stdout == 2.
It goes to T() when T_stdout == 0 or T_stdout == 2.
The call T() does the check for T_stdout == 0 or T_stdout == 2.
So we have to call it out of the check "if (T_stdout)".
So, well, let's fix that.
Some spacing was fixed as well. clang-format may complain.

Most targets don't need the symbols from the compiled RRC ASN.1
libraries, but only the headers. In particular when compiling individual
libraries (e.g., for tests), linking the full library makes the RRC
ASN.1 libraries compile and link, when they are not needed (only headers
are needed).
For libraries that can do without these headers, don't link them.
The simulators have been changed: due to linker errors that would arise
otherwise, a lot of functions are defined in them to avoid such errors.
Some functions are also defined in header files; in this commit, we
define most functoins in nr_dummy_functions.c, which is compiled in, not
by including the C file, but by adding it to the target in
CMakeLists.txt

Some problems when we release the device:
- Calling the destructors is wrong, we should set the pointers to NULL.

- previously, used magic numbers to designate nFAPI mode
- now, use string values (MONOLITHIC, PNF, VNF, ...)
- Remove printing of the nfapi mode to the console, as it's value is clear from the command-line argument
- Update usages of the --nfapi command-line parameter in scripts and documentation to reflect the change to string values
There was a problem testing accelleran cu + oai du + oai ue + rfsim
because accelleran cu configures sdap header for UL but not for DL
and our sdap implementation deals with either "no sdap header at all"
or "sdap headers for both UL and DL".
The code has been modified to deal with the other cases
("sdap header for UL but not DL" and "sdap header for DL but not UL").
has_sdapDLheader and has_sdapULheader have been removed, has_sdap
too, replaced by has_sdap_rx and has_sdap_tx, which makes the code
independant of ue or gnb and is, I think, clearer.
With this work, accelleran cu + oai du + oai ue + rfsim works. We
also have oai gnb + oai ue + rfsim functional for all cases of sdap
header configuration (this won't happen for users, the code of gnb has to
be modified to have sdap header for only ul or only dl). It also works
with a COTS UE for all cases of sdap configuration (again, this won't
happen for users, only "no sdap header" and "sdap headers for both
UL and DL" exist in oai gnb with the current code).
To have other cases, you can edit openair2/RRC/NR/rrc_gNB_radio_bearers.c
and search for NR_SDAP_Config__sdap_HeaderDL_present in there.
To enable sdap, run the gnb with the command line argument
--gNBs.[0].enable_sdap 1

There was a problem in rrc_gNB_process_NGAP_PDUSESSION_RELEASE_COMMAND()
where we PROTOCOL_CTXT_SET_BY_INSTANCE() that does not initialize
eNB_index leading to a crash later on in pdcp. So let's initialize
everything.
Plus, while we're here, use do { } while(0) in the macros, just to avoid
problems like:
if (condition)
macro;
Without do { } while(0) only the first statement of the macro is done
in the if. (Not sure if the code has the problem somewhere, but doesn't
hurt to fix.)
There was a crash when we exit the nr softmodem with AW2S device.
The array rxbase[] was surely freed() by some other thread, so
let's not access it after detecting oai_exit != 0.
We also need to unblock a possible reader thread. The chosen way to
do may be not the best. To be checked.

won't work at all).

Almost all targets used both SIMU and SIMU_COMMON. So instead of
linking one in the other, this commit merges both libraries into a
common SIMU lib. Further, we never load SIMU dynamically -- hence
make it a static library.
Also, this commit cleans up CMakeLists.txt to prevent multiple
compilations of taus.c
- The qsort() function is defined as:
void qsort(void *base, size_t nmemb, size_t size,
int (*compar)(const void *, const void *));
and sorts an array with nmemb elements of size size.
- in the gNB scheduling functions, nmemb and size were swapped
- this was causing a stack overflow ending with a SEGFAULT under certain circumstances

The physim tests fail because, typically, the same tests gets assigned

different nodes to prevent this.
This commit enables UL traffic in do-ra mode by doing two changes:
- configure SDAP to send traffic to TUN interface instead of GTP by
abusing enb_flag=0 (i.e., setting UE mode for gNB SDAP)
- manually enable RLC LCID in UE MAC, since nr_DRB_preconfiguration()
statically enables one DRB bearer, without notifying MAC

If we do not stop RF after all threads, it can happen that the RF is
finished, but another thread of the RU (e.g., reorder thread) tries to
send out a package to the RF. This can lead to a segfault, as observed
in UHD, because we free all resources before reusing them.
This commit fixes this behavior.
Using Accelleran CU, the DRB ID is 4 (not 1), we need to set and access
the array 'drb_priority' correctly in the DU specific functions.

This commit re-enables SRS when Msg3 through DCCH in InitialBWP that seems to be disabled after the RA (the same behaviour for other configurations may happen, so it is safer to send always the RRCReconfiguration when we have this RA).

The Amarisoft root prompt contained '#' (as usual for root). However, to

forced to use '$'. We changed the root command prompt to use '$', and
therefore change it here as well.

are superfluous
- allowing nrue config to use gnb fqdn and ip-address

This commit provides CSI reporting support
which is required for MIMO. It also updates

for MIMO 2x2 support. This commit will not include

Previously, the cluster-build code would recreate imagestreams, which
would drop the association of image streams to images previously
created. To avoid this, the code is updated to never delete
imagestreams, and only recreate imagestreamtags.
This reverts commit 5008eb4e38.
The RHEL8-Cluster-Image-Builder has problems and is not ready. This
commit reverts the switch, and uses RHEL8-Image-Builder instead.

- especially for plmn_list, will allow to be followed by an MCC/MNC in a
single line
- tightens regexes to match replacements more accurately, e.g., "val =
key" (instead of just searching for "key)
- no special rule for SD, which matches SD values (and not the SD
field). However, currently it is not possible to specify multiple SDs
(multiple SSTs was already not possible)
the following:
if (cur_wait_list == entity->wait_end)
end_wait_list = prev_wait_list;
was done after cur_wait_list is updated to its new value, but the old value
has to be used in this test. So end_wait_list was not set properly.
This was leading to random crashes later on because then entity->wait_list
was NULL but entity->wait_end was not (because of the bug fixed by this
commit).
The new value for cur_wait_list is also now set using prev_wait_list->next
just before the goto, as done in other places in the code.
Also "cur" was removed, for it has no purpose and makes the code harder
to understand.
The loop passes over all keys. For plmn_list, there are subentries mcc,
mnc, mnc_length. The plmn_list if block assumes that the key is a dict,
which was not checked for, leading to a type error.
Following changes included:
- SD is optional: when value is 0xffffff or not present in config
(previously: needed to be set to 0)
- Checks SSTs in range [0,255]
- Checks SDs in range [0,0xffffff]
- Correct typo SST defines
Previously, only the first out of multiple telnet commands with
TELNETSRV_CMDFLAG_PUSHINTPOOLQ option would get a pointer to the fifo
queue, which is fixed in this commit.
Further, add_telnetcmd() now checks whether TELNET_MAXCMD is reached,
and prints and error.
Reformatted/simplified the function.
Introduce the function nr_rlc_activate_avg_time_to_tx() to
activate/deactivate collection of avg time to tx stats (which
may have an impact on realtime processing, so better not compute
them when not needed).
Fix a little bug in time_average_get_average() for when there is not stat.
in fact it syncs the USRP time to GPS time when available and then derives the SFN from the USRP time.
a side effect is that now SFN does not necessarily start at 0 and this also required other changes
- initialization of the future_ul_tti_request.
- fixing a bug in get_samples_per_slot
T tracer was not functional anymore. because init_tpools() was called
before T_Config_Init().
The problem was that init_tpools() creates some threads and T_Config_Init()
does call fork() and the child process (which is the one running the
softmodem, the parent process is used to monitor it, this is the design
of the T tracer, maybe to change at some point, it's too complicated) has
no thread after the fork(). The threads created by init_tpools() are gone.
Game over.
In conclusion: T_Config_Init() has to be called very early in the life of
the softmodem, at least before init_tpools().
