Added an implementation of a wraparound buffer using virtual address mapping.
With the wraparound buffer a physical address is mapped a second time to virtual
memory right after the initial mapping. That makes it so that:
buf[i] == buff[i + size]
The offset operation is undertaken by the processor MMU instead.

Add symbol timing functions for NR_DL_FRAME_PARMS + optimization for slot timing
counterparts
Add two new functions for calculation symbol timestamp and symbol duration for
NR_DL_FRAME_PARMS. Also includes an optimization focused on removing
inefficiencies related slot-related counterparts.
1. Removed function pointers for functions get_samples_per_slot(),
get_samples_slot_timestamp() and get_slot_from_timestamp() as it does
not offer any advantage. The functions are now called directly from
everywhere.
2. Optimized these functions by removing loops where ever possible.

Fixes for BWP switching
This MR fixes some issues when performing BWP switching via
reconfiguration. It also adds a CI test for BWP switching. # Please
enter a commit message to explain why this merge is necessary,
In all cases (CFRA in SA for HO, or CFRA in NSA/do-ra for access), the
UE has the full configuration already. We can therefore directly switch
to a dedicated search space, as it is already known to the UE.
... so if we want to have 1 BWP configured at any given time we need to
reconfigure BWP 1 every time. This means that since the gNB has more
than 1 BWPs (for use for different UEs), that there is a "gNB BWP ID"
(as used by the gNB), which can be any BWP ID X, and one "UE BWP ID",
which is always 1. This commit implements this distinction.
Return from triggering reconfiguration with BWP switch if BWP is the
same as before the switch, and add check to verify if BWP triggered by
switch command exists
Current FAPI slot_ahead value for WLS is too low for UL, as we see these
errors:
[NR_MAC] Unexpected ULSCH HARQ PID 14 (have 3) for RNTI 0xa68e
[NR_MAC] UE a68e expected HARQ pid 3 feedback at 586. 7, but is at 587.17 instead (HARQ feedback is in the past)
Similarly to nFAPI, scale it by mu (for mu=1 => slot_ahead=2) to give
additional time, which removes these warnings at the VNF.
E2SM-RC RRC message forwarding (e.g., to signal a new UE, measurement
reports, ...) was broken since commit d6c29b2d2c, as we accidentally
removed the E2_AGENT compilation definition from RRC layer.
Although this commit fixes the mentioned issue, it also causes undefined
references to functions defined in ran_func_rc.c file. Therefore, we
add a hack that provides the definition, and abort if we ever hit these
functions, which in theory should not happen.
Future cleanup should avoid linking in RRC and other layers into
simulators.
Fixes: d6c29b2d2c ("Fix E2_AGENT linking w.r.t. simulators ")
Testing has revealed that if PDCP drops some packets, the scheduler
falls behind with handling Slot.indication. It could be that we don't
have enough cores, which was reduced previously (from total 8 -> 2).
Reincrease to four cores to have a bit more headroom.

The PDUSessionResourceReleaseResponse message was missing the mandatory
pDUSessionResourceReleaseResponseTransfer IE in each released PDU session item. This caused Open5GS to send an error indication.
Changes:
- Add encode_ngap_pdusession_release_response_transfer() function to
properly encode the transfer structure (empty since Secondary RAT Usage
Information is optional and not used, per 9.3.4.21)
- Always include the mandatory PDUSessionResourceReleasedListRelRes IE
- Always encode the pDUSessionResourceReleaseResponseTransfer for each
PDU session item
- Fix Release Command handler to decode and log Cause from command transfer:
instead of incorrectly copying command data to response: the 2 transfer
IEs in the Command and the Response messages are different and should
not be mixed
- Split Command/Response struct type definitions
- Add missing includes
1) Remove UE Context Release Response code: there is no
such thing in the specs, it is either UE Context Release Request
(NG-RAN node initiated) or UE Context Release (AMF initiated)
(3GPP TS 38.413). The former message has only the request, no
response is defined by the specs. The code in the stack had no
purpose at all and was removed.
2) The UE Context Release Request message only contains a PDU
Session Resource List (optional) of PDU Session IDs, therefore
the use of pdusession_release_t was wrong and was refactored

Consistently use OAI_RNGSEED env variable for RNG
use OAI_RNGSEED env variable everywhere. Hide normal table
initialization of Ziggurat generator from outside. Fix atoi() to use
stroul()
atoi() used previously does not capture all of unsigned long (so we
could not reproduce a high seed), and its use is discouraged as it does
not detect errors. Use strtoul() instead, which allows to also use other
bases (so we can e.g., write OAI_RNGSEED=0x1234)
Hide normal table initialization of Ziggurat generator from outside to
force the usage of randominit() for RNG initialization. In this step,
remove the randominit() seed parameter and only rely on OAI_RNGSEED for
a consistent RNG initialization, as this parameter was used differently
("0" as fixed number or to force a random seed).
Now, only use OAI_RNGSEED env variable to force the usage of a fixed
seed.

CFRA: mark RA complete when sending Msg2
The current contention-free random access forces a "Msg3" (which does
not exist in CFRA) to be received by a UE. Sometimes, this "Msg3" is not
received (for whatever reason), and the MAC declare that RA failed.
This is problematic, as the spec says that RA is complete once Msg2 is
received by the UE. Since the gNB cannot know when this is, simply mark
it as complete once we sent Msg2.
We still send Msg3 in CFRA, which is explained further in the commits.
Also, improve logging and stabilize an RFsim test by reducing sl_ahead.
Correctly copy nFAPI messages
All nFAPI message have copy helpers, so use that for "loading" nFAPI
messages into the L1. This also fixes a bug/error message
2. 0 no corresponding tx_data.request for dl_tti.request index 11, dropping
because the loop over DL_tti.request assumed that all messages are PDSCH
PDUs, when we can have others such as PDCCH, etc. In other words, when
looking up indices ("11" in the example above), we were checking also
inside other messages for SSB, PDCCH, etc, which is of course wrong.
That loop was an attempt to validate matching PDSCH PDUs with
TX_data.requests. This check is already done inside
phy_procedures_gNB_TX() through an assert, but this commit replaces with
the equivalent check previously inside nr_pnf_p7_get_msgs(). This is ok,
as the L1 cannot trust the scheduler (in monolithic) to provide the
correct information, either.
Fixes: eefb9da6 ("Reimplement nFAPI message exchange after msgDataTx removal")

fix(FHI 7.2): PRACH frame test
A test was missing in the PRACH RX function of the FHI 7.2 in order to know if
the frame had a PRACH occasion. This was leading to continuous warning messages
as PRACH RX was triggered on frames in which PRACH was not expected by the
scheduler.
CI: Reduce the tries to attach the UE in CI runs
The goal of this MR is to save time in CI runs by reducing the UE attach tries
to 3 instead of 4 and UE timeout to 20 seconds, which will be incremented after
each fail, instead of 60 seconds.
Since the parent commit, CFRA is inconditionally marked complete on Msg3
reception (successful or not). This works because the current
implementation still sends a UL grant (see parent commit for details).
In this commit, handle Msg3 if received in CFRA (notably for TA and
power). Note that since we declare RA complete, UE->ra does not exist
anymore, and so an intermediate variable is introduced to capture the
CFRA flag. The code should be such that if we are in CFRA, we never
access any UE->ra variable.
All nFAPI message have copy helpers, so use that for "loading" nFAPI
messages into the L1. This also fixes a bug/error message
2. 0 no corresponding tx_data.request for dl_tti.request index 11, dropping
because the loop over DL_tti.request assumed that all messages are PDSCH
PDUs, when we can have others such as PDCCH, etc. In other words, when

inside other messages for SSB, PDCCH, etc, which is of course wrong.
That loop was an attempt to validate matching PDSCH PDUs with
TX_data.requests. This check is already done inside
phy_procedures_gNB_TX() through an assert, but this commit replaces with
the equivalent check previously inside nr_pnf_p7_get_msgs(). This is ok,
as the L1 cannot trust the scheduler (in monolithic) to provide the
correct information, either.
Fixes: eefb9da69a ("Reimplement nFAPI message exchange after msgDataTx removal")
A test was missing in the PRACH RX function of the FHI 7.2 in order to
know if the frame had a PRACH occasion.
This was leading to continuous warning messages as PRACH RX was
triggered on frames in which PRACH was not expected by the scheduler.
The current contention-free random access forces a "Msg3" (which does
not exist in CFRA) to be received by a UE. Sometimes, this "Msg3" is not
received (for whatever reason), and the MAC declare that RA failed.
This is problematic, as the spec says that RA is complete once Msg2 is
received by the UE. To avoid this, inconditionally mark RA as complete
as soon as we receive an indication of Msg3 (DTX or not).
Note that after this change, we still send a UL grant in Msg2. This is
because 38.321 §5.1.4 is not clear to me whether we should send UL grant
(it does not explicitly exclude it), and it says
> 3> if the Random Access Response includes a MAC subPDU with RAPID only:
> [...]
> 4> indicate the reception of an acknowledgement for SI request to
> upper layers.
which is NOT the case (but then I don't know/think we can have CFRA for
SI request?). Since it also works with COTS UE, I leave Msg3 for the
moment.
The reason to not directly mark RA as complete when sending Msg2 is
because of possible retransmissions in do-ra mode. In fact, in do-ra,
there might already be data awaiting. In that case, the DLSCH scheduler
schedules data _in the same slot as Msg2_, which the UE does not decode,
leading to retransmissions.
Implementation of STOP exchange
This implements the STOP.request/indication for all 3 transport mechanisms, the
VNF will send the STOP.request to the PNF, indicating it will disconnect, and
await a STOP.indication from the PNF
The WLS VNF is reworked to be able to start before the PNF, by calling call
rte_eal_init and rte_dev_probe to determine if dpdk has been initialized
properly, before calling rte_eal_init in the intended process when it is
appropriate to do so
Fix reestablishment after handover

CI build analysis: print log file errors
The generated HTML from CI builds so far only shows the number of errors, but
not the errors themselves. This is inconvenient, as this means that developers
have to go to the logs.
This commit modifies AnalyzeBuildLogs(), which already iterates the entire file,
to store the lines containing "error:" (as it would be emitted by a compiler).
The callers of AnalyzeBuildLogs() now also print the analysis outcome in a more
concise manner.
Also, change the return parameter of AnalyzeBuildLogs() to a tuple to make the
variable handling easier, and remove the unused warnings list.
The idea is to reestablish all RLC entities (it's a new UE, and we set
reestablishRLC on all bearerrs), so we should reestablish all RLC
entities on gNB side as well, without any additional loop.
Co-authored-by: Roberto Magueta <rmagueta@allbesmart.pt>
Move the file process_addmod_bearers_cellGroupConfig() to the file where
it is used. Correctly set priorities as requested in RLC bearer
configuration.
In all cases (NSA, HO), we create LCIDs before the UE triggers random
access. Hence, process_addmod_bearers_cellGroupConfig() is not
necessary, as it just tries to recreate an LCID.
Furthermore, it includes a bug, as this function does set a wrong
priority (0), so the sorting of LCIDs is not correct. This in turn
creates problems with reestablishment, as LCID 1/SRB1 is not in the
first position, making reestablishment fail (where we assume LCID 1 be
in first position).
The actual bug of setting priorities is fixed in the next commit.
Fix MIB encoding in F1SetupRequest: use encode_MIB_NR_setup instead of encode_MIB_NR
- The DU was using encode_MIB_NR() while constructing the GNB-DU System
Information for the F1SetupRequest.
- encode_MIB_NR() encodes a full NR_BCCH_BCH_Message_t, causing the MIB to be
wrapped in a BCH container.
- This results in incorrect MIB values in the F1SetupRequest PCAP (e.g., wrong
systemFrameNumber, SCS, DMRS position, cellBarred).
- According to 3GPP TS 38.473, the MIB carried in F1AP must be encoded as a raw
NR_MIB_t.
- The correct function encode_MIB_NR_setup() encodes MIB in the required format
but was not used.
- This patch replaces encode_MIB_NR() with encode_MIB_NR_setup() to ensure correct
and standards-compliant MIB encoding in the F1SetupRequest.
Closes issue #1034.
Fix DRB integrity failures during handover and re-establishment
This MR fixes DRB integrity protection failures that occur during N2 handover
and connection re-establishment scenarios. The issues were caused by incorrect
security key handling and ciphering configuration during these procedures with
DRB integity enabled.
See merge request !3767 for more details.
Avoid measGap configuration on handover in intra-freq scenarios
During the handover, we are incorrectly configuring the measGap, even though
neighboring cells are on the same frequency. Since gNB is not expecting this
measGap, the SRS scheduling is performed. Therefore, we are periodically
receiving these logs after the handover:
[NR_MAC] Invalid timing advance offset for RNTI 58e2
[NR_MAC] Invalid timing advance offset for RNTI 58e2
[NR_MAC] Invalid timing advance offset for RNTI 58e2
[NR_MAC] Invalid timing advance offset for RNTI 58e2
[NR_MAC] Invalid timing advance offset for RNTI 58e2
[NR_MAC] Invalid timing advance offset for RNTI 58e2
These logs occur at a time when UE is performing a MeasGap operation and not
sending the SRS, while gNB thinks it will receive the SRS, but will not receive
any SRS.
This MR resolves this issue, and after the handover, these logs no longer
appear.

UE NTN - Epoch time handling for Target cell
In case of Handover, NTNconfig sent in RRCreconfiguration triggering handover
contains epoch time wrt timing of Target cell. NTNconfig in RRC needs to be
processed only after timing is acquired on the target cell.
In case of Target cell, epoch time is the sfn nearest to the frame timing of the
target cell.
During refactoring, the wrong functions and correspondingly tables have
been used to calculate UL TB size. Fix through correct functions.
This should fix these error messages:

Problem:
During N2 handover with integrity protection (NIA1/NIA2), the target gNB
was disabling ciphering when configuring SRB1 security, while the UE
continued using the old security context from the source gNB until it
received and processed the RRC Reconfiguration with masterKeyUpdate. The
first PDUs sent after CFRA were still ciphered with the old keys, but the
target gNB had ciphering disabled, causing it to skip deciphering and
attempt integrity verification on ciphered data, leading to MAC-I
mismatches and integrity failures.
Specification Reference:
According to TS 33.501 section 6.11, "the UE shall keep the K gNB used in
the source cell until the handover or a connection re-establishment has been
completed successfully". This means the UE continues using the old security
context (old KRRCint, KRRCenc) until it receives and processes the RRC
Reconfiguration with masterKeyUpdate. The target gNB must therefore enable
ciphering during handover setup to correctly decipher and verify integrity
of PDUs sent with the old security context before the UE switches to the new
keys.
Root Cause:
The code was calling nr_rrc_pdcp_config_security(UE, false) during
handover setup, which disabled ciphering. This was incorrect because:
1. The UE already has security active from the source gNB
2. The UE continues using old ciphered keys until masterKeyUpdate
3. The UE sends ciphered PDUs immediately after CFRA succeeds
4. The target gNB must be able to decipher these PDUs to verify integrity
Why it only manifested when drb_integrity = "yes":
The bug was always present, but only caused visible failures when
integrity verification was enabled. When drb_integrity = "no", the config
typically also sets integrity_algorithms to only NIA0, resulting in
UE->integrity_algorithm = 0, which causes has_integrity = 0 for SRB1,
skipping integrity verification and hiding the underlying ciphering bug.
When drb_integrity = "yes", integrity_algorithms typically includes
NIA1/NIA2, resulting in has_integrity = 1 for SRB1, causing integrity
checks to run on ciphered data and fail.
Fix:
Change nr_rrc_pdcp_config_security(UE, false) to
nr_rrc_pdcp_config_security(UE, true) during handover setup to enable
ciphering immediately, allowing the target gNB to correctly decipher and
verify integrity of PDUs sent with the old security context.
Note: This fix is specific to handover. During initial context setup,
ciphering should remain disabled until SecurityModeComplete is received,
as the UE hasn't activated ciphering yet at that point.
During re-establishment, new KgNB* is derived, requiring new UP keys (KUPint,
KUPenc) to be sent to CU-UP. When do_drb_integrity = true, CU-UP needs the
updated integrity keys to verify DRB PDUs. Without this update, CU-UP uses
old keys while the UE uses new keys, causing integrity failures.
The fix ensures security info is always sent during re-establishment,
which is critical for DRB integrity.
Instead of using the projected velocity and acceleration vectors,
calculate vel_sat_gnb and acc_sat_gnb so the delay is correct for
epoch_time, epoch_time + 5 seconds and epoch_time + 10 seconds.
Separate timing_advance (N_TA) from timing_advance_ntn (N_common_TA_adj + N_UE_TA_adj)
to keep N_TA when updating N_common_TA_adj + N_UE_TA_adj.
Fixes#981
Instead of trying to estimate N_UE_TA_adj with a second degree polynomial,
we introduce orbit propagation to calculate N_UE_TA_adj with higher accuracy.
When we receive the satellite ephemeris data consisting of the satellite position vector
and the satellite velocity vector, we calculate parameters for orbit propagation, assuming
a circular orbit in the plane created by the satellite position vector and the satellite
velocity vector. This is done in the function prepare_ue_sat_ta().
Every millisecond, we use these parameters together with the time since epoch to calculate
the satellite position on that orbit and from this the reound-trip-time between UE and the
satellite, what corresponds to N_UE_TA_adj. This is done in the function apply_ntn_timing_advance().
In case of Handover, NTNconfig sent in RRCreconfiguration triggering handover contains epoch time wrt
timing of Target cell. NTNconfig in RRC needs to be processed only after timing is acquired on the target cell
In case of Target cell, epoch time is the sfn nearest to the frame timing of the target cell.

PDU Session Release
This MR implements end-to-end PDU Session Release functionality
according to 3GPP TS 38.413 and TS 38.331 specifications.
Reason for Change Previous implementation had incomplete and wrongly
places tunnel cleanup during PDU session release. UP cleanup shall be
done at CUUP, RRCReconfiguration shall be sent after retrieval of
updated CellGroupConfig from the DU. This implies F1 and E1 exchanges
during PDU session release procedure.
Major Changes:
1. RRC PDU Session Release: DRBs and PDU session teardown in NGAP PDU
Session Release Response callback
- Helper Functions: Introduced rm_pduSession,
find_drb_by_pdusession_id and rm_drbs() helpers to locate and clean
up DRBs linked to a specific PDU session
- Targeted Cleanup: RRC PDU Session and per-session DRB removal in
rrc_gNB_send_NGAP_PDUSESSION_RELEASE_RESPONSE()
- Status Cleanup: Removed unused PDU_SESSION_STATUS_RELEASED status
2. RRC PDU Session Release: Refactor
rrc_gNB_process_NGAP_PDUSESSION_RELEASE_COMMAND
- Any PDU session in the pdusession_release_params list that is
present in the RRC list can be set to release, regardless of its
status
- Function Signature Update: Updated function signature and other
minor changes
- Response Handling: rrc_gNB_send_NGAP_PDUSESSION_RELEASE_RESPONSE is
sent upon completion of RRCReconfiguration
3. RRC PDU Session Release: add missing procedures E1AP Integration:
- Populates E1AP Bearer Modification for each to be released session
- PDCP Enhancement: Added nr_pdcp_release_drbs() to remove all DRBs
linked to a given PDU session in CUUP
- GTP-U Cleanup: GTP tunnel teardown handled in CUUP
e1_bearer_context_modif() using correct F1 or N3 GTP instance
4. NR PDCP/GTP:
- Enhanced Tunnel Deletion Logic: Separate handling for N3 tunnels (1
per PDU session) and F1-U tunnels (1 per DRB)
- New PDCP API Function: Added nr_pdcp_get_drb_ids_for_pdusession()
function to retrieve all DRB IDs associated with a specific PDU
session
5. RRC PDU Session Release: F1AP-based UE Context Modification:
- Replaced direct RRC message transfer with F1AP UE Context
Modification Request for proper retrieval from DU
- Cell Group Configuration: handling of updated CellGroupConfig from
DU ensures DRB release at CU
6. Docs and testing:
- Added PDU session add/remove test cases to 25 PRB RFSIM pipeline
- Documentation: Added PDU Session Release sequence diagram
- Telnet Commands: Added ci command to trigger NGAP PDU Session
Release and ciUE command to trigger establishment of a new PDU
Session
7. Additional fixes:
- UE RLC Management: ensure release of RLC entities
- Unify NG delay control before calling the RRC NGAP handler, for both
Setup and Release
8. Code Cleanup: Cleaned up unused GTP teardown functions.
Closes#867
- Add delayed_action_state_t in the UE context for ongoing delayed action
- Move delay check and timer re-enqueue to rrc thread in rrc_gNB.c (rrc_delay_transaction)
- Call delay before NGAP setup/release handlers; remove local delay logic from rrc_gNB_NGAP.c
- Clear on RRCReconfigurationComplete (reset_delayed_action)
Closes#960
- Enable telnet server on VNF (gNB) and UE in docker-compose.yaml
- Add new test cases for PDU session management:
* Add PDU session via UE telnet
* Release PDU session via telnet
* Verify connectivity after PDU session release
- Integrate telnet commands into existing container_5g_rfsim_u0_25prb.xml pipeline
- Test cases added before undeploy step in proper execution order
This commit introduces a new telnet server command `pdu_session_release` to
manually trigger the NGAP PDU Session Release Command message from the telnet ci shell.
This is useful for integration testing of PDU session teardown behavior.
Details:
- Added `trigger_ngap_pdu_session_release()` to send NGAP_PDUSESSION_RELEASE_COMMAND
to the RRC task, targeting the specified `gNB_ue_ngap_id`.
- The command currently releases PDU session ID 10 (hardcoded).
- Hooked into telnet shell with command: `pdu_session_release [gNB_ue_ngap_id]`
Usage example:
telnet > pdu_session_release 1
We need to keep PDU sessions and DRBs in list until the NGAP PDU Session Release Response is sent.
* Introduced find_drb() and remove_drbs_by_pdu_session() helpers to locate
and clean up DRBs linked to a specific PDU session
* Targeted per-session DRB removal in rrc_gNB_send_NGAP_PDUSESSION_RELEASE_RESPONSE()
* Ensures DRBs for unaffected PDU sessions remain intact
* Remove unused PDU_SESSION_STATUS_RELEASED status: keeping this status is no longer relevant
since the PDU sessions are effectively removed from the RRC lists
Closes#867
Also, refactor rrc_gNB_process_NGAP_PDUSESSION_RELEASE_COMMAND
3GPP TS 38.413 8.2.2 PDU Session Resource Release says:
> upon reception the NG-RAN node shall execute the release of the requested PDU sessions.
> For each PDU session to be released the NG-RAN node shall release the corresponding
> resources over Uu and over NG, if any.
Therefore, any PDU session in the pdusession_release_params list that is
also present in the RRC list can be set to release, regardless of its status.
The function signature was also updated along with other minor changes.
The partial-tunnel deletion API was buggy and redundant:
* e.g. It erased entries from globGtp.te2ue_mapping but never erases
the corresponding entries from inst->ue2te_mapping[ue].bearers
All current use cases are already covered by:
* newGtpuDeleteOneTunnel() for targeted deletion
* newGtpuDeleteAllTunnels() for full cleanup
Call sites should explicitly loop over newGtpuDeleteOneTunnel()
if multiple tunnels need removal.
This commit implements proper PDU Session Release handling across
RRC, PDCP, F1AP, E1AP to ensure clean resource cleanup when
a PDU session is terminated.
Key changes:
NGAP:
In `rrc_gNB_process_NGAP_PDUSESSION_RELEASE_COMMAND()`:
* Populates E1AP Bearer Modification for each released session
* If a CU-UP is connected, triggers `bearer_context_mod()` for PDU teardown
PDCP:
* Added `nr_pdcp_release_drbs()` to remove all DRBs linked to a given PDU session
* Called from `e1_bearer_context_modif()` for correct clean-up during session release
F1AP UE Context Modification:
Replace direct RRC message transfer with F1AP UE Context Modification Request
to properly handle PDU session release according to 3GPP TS 38.331.
3GPP TS 38.331 `5.3.5.6.4 DRB release` says: whether or not the RLC and MAC entities associated
with a PDCP entity are reset or released is determined by the CellGroupConfig. Thus,
updated CellGroupConfig needs to be received by the UE. This has to be retrieved by CUCP
from the DU. Therefore:
After receiving an NGAP_PDUSESSION_RELEASE_COMMAND, the CUCP shall:
1) forward (store for later) the NAS PDU to the UE, if present as per 3GPP TS 38.413, and
2) send a UE Context Modification to the DU with the list of DRBs to release
and the RRC container (RRCReconfiguration with NAS PDU)
After reception of UE Context Modification Response, the list of drbs to release
is prepared based on PDU session status PDU_SESSION_STATUS_TORELEASE
in rrc_gNB_generate_dedicatedRRCReconfiguration and then encoded
in drb_ToReleaseList for a new RRCReconfiguration with the new cellGroupConfig.
Key changes:
* rrc_gNB_generate_dedicatedRRCReconfiguration_release() now uses F1AP UE Context
Modification Request instead of direct RRC transfer
* Only DRBs to be released are now added to the list.
* The ASN.1 memory allocation is entirely done in build_RRCReconfiguration_IEs
* No longer needed to store ASN1 struct in UE context
GTP-U:
* Previous implementation had incomplete tunnel cleanup during PDU session release
- Missing distinction between N3 (PDU session level) and F1-U (DRB level) tunnels
- Lack of proper DRB identification for F1-U tunnel deletion
Major Changes:
* GTP tunnel teardown now handled in `e1_bearer_context_modif()` using the correct
F1 or N3 GTP instance (`newGtpuDeleteOneTunnel()`)
* Enhanced Tunnel Deletion Logic (cucp_cuup_handler.c):
- Separate handling for N3 tunnels (1 per PDU session) and F1-U tunnels (1 per DRB)
- Added proper DRB identification for F1-U tunnel cleanup
- Improved error handling with detailed logging for each tunnel deletion
- Enhanced logging to distinguish between N3 and F1-U tunnel operations
* New PDCP API Function (nr_pdcp_oai_api.c/h):
- Added nr_pdcp_get_drb_ids_for_pdusession() function
- Enables retrieval of all DRB IDs associated with a specific PDU session
- Supports proper F1-U tunnel cleanup by providing DRB identifiers in CUUP
* Enhanced GTP Interface (gtp_itf.cpp/h):
- Modified newGtpuDeleteOneTunnel() to accept tunnel_type parameter
- Improved logging to distinguish between PDU session and DRB tunnel types
- Better error messages for tunnel deletion failures
- Enhanced debugging information for remaining tunnels
Clean-up:
* Ensured xid tracking works consistently between PDU Session Establishment (with NAS PDU)
and dedicated RRCReconfiguration
* Add function to release GTP-U tunnel in Bearer Context Modification Request handler
* Do not send rrc_gNB_send_NGAP_PDUSESSION_RELEASE_RESPONSE when no PDU session are to
be released: it is sent upon completion of the RRCReconfiguration and needs to contain
released PDU Sessions (mandatory IE), therefore it is no necessary to send it in case
there is no PDU session to release.

gNB: modify RLC configuration applied for SRB1 during RRCReestablishment
TS 38.331 clause 5.3.7.4 specifies to apply the configuration defined in
9.2.1 for SRB1 at UE side. This implies that the gNB also has to apply
sn_field_length = 12, but there are no implications on the other RLC
parameters.
As wrong timer values break SRB1 e.g. for long RTT NTN scenarios, this
commit switches to using the RLC timer values provided in the
configuration file. Currently we still set poll_pdu, poll_byte and
max_retx_threshold to the values defined in 9.2.1, but this can be
changed.
Refactor imscope
This MR refactors imscope by introducing changes to the default layout
in the config file imgui.ini. The global settings are moved to a new
menu item. This modified layout is intended as a suggestion subject to
change based on feedback. This MR also adds PDCCH LLR and IQ plots to
the UE scope and set axes to AutoFit by default.
The MR has a screenshot of the new layout.
Remove schedule response and update L1 threading documentation
This merge requests removes the somewhat superfluous "schedule response"
mechanism. "schedule response" was run after running the scheduler
itself and copied various FAPI messages into a global msgDataTx
structure from which the various TX/RX jobs were triggered. It is not
necessary, though, given that the scheduler is run inside the tx_func()
(running the TX jobs of the L1), and so the scheduler output FAPI
messages can directly be read into a variable of the existing
NR_Sched_Rsp_t type. This allows to delete a couple of hundred lines of
code (while retaining functionality), and simplifies the msgDataTx type
(which is still there to trigger TX job (including the scheduler) from
the ru thread).
In short, prior, there was this call chain:
- tx_func() calls run_scheduler_monolithic() (through fptr
NR_slot_indication())
- get some memory through allocate_sched_response() which has enough
space for NR_Sched_Rsp_t type variable
- call the scheduler and fill the variable
- call nr_schedule_response() (through fptr NR_schedule_response())
which copies into L1: to msgDataTx for TX, to separate structures
for RX
this is changed to
- tx_func() runs one message at a time, hence we can use memory in the
data segment for NR_Sched_Rsp_t. It calls run_scheduler_monolithic()
through the fptr
- pointers into NR_Sched_Rsp_t are passed to the scheduler, which
fills as before
- we return, memory is in its right place and does not need an extra
copy.
Additionally, this merge request updates documentation on threading and
cleans up some unused code along the way.
Update log header format to align log output
The new format:
- left-aligns the log header name and enforces a minimum width of 6 characters,
padding shorter names with spaces while allowing longer names to be printed in
full
- shortens UTC timestamp
- align function names to 32 characters
Example output:

Reimplement nFAPI message exchange between L1 and L2 following the
changes in parent commit removing msgDataTx.
Avoid direct calls and use NR_IF_module fptrs to avoid linking problems.
allowing to remove some function definitions that are not needed.
Note: after this commit, monolithic works but nFAPI operation is broken
and fixed in the next commit, to keep the changes small(er). All
simulators work.
This commit removes the use of msgDataTx's intermediate buffers for FAPI
messages and the call of the "Schedule response". The latter incurs an
additional copy of FAPI messages for the TX chain (for the RX chain, it
is and will remain there) which we can avoid.
Instead, it uses an NR_Sched_Rsp_t-typed variable sched_response to
store the results of the scheduler when called from tx_func(). Thus, the
scheduler remains unchanged (it gets a pointer to where to put FAPI
messages), but we don't call nr_schedule_response() to then copy FAPI
messages into the L1, but have them in a local variable sched_response.
sched_response on on the data segment, as it is big and would overflow
the stack; at the same time, this is ok because only one tx_func() runs
at a time.
Since we don't use allocate_sched_response() anymore, we don't need
deref_sched_response().
clear_slot_beamid() is moved to tx_func(), as it was called in
nr_schedule_response().
Since the "intermediate" NR_gNB_DLSCH_t structure groups both the
DL_tti_pdsch and TX_data.req structures, a pointer has been created to
point to pdsch_pdu. This affects a number of simulators, as they have to
put some messages on the stack:
- nr_dlschsim: put the corresponding variable on the stack
- nr_pbchsim: a new array for the SSB PDUs has been introduced
Further, these changes are now necessary:
- nr_dlsim: there were variables "rel15" and "pdsch_pdu_rel15" that
point to the same PDSCH PDU. At least "rel15" would not exist, as the
corresponding pointer is now populated in phy_procedures_gNB_TX(), and
we therefore refer to the single PDSCH PDU variable with
"pdsch_pdu_rel15", but at the place where "rel15" used to be
initialized.
- nr_ulsim: use nr_save_ul_tti_req() to load PDUs into the RX chain
instead of nr_schedule_response(), which does not exist anymore.
The next commit will remove msgDataTx. We can therefore not use
msgDataTx to retain the PDSCH/DLSCH variables, and move them to the gNB.
Note that the only reason for NR_gNB_DLSCH_t after this commit is to
hold various large buffers (c, b, f). Future work could be done to
remove this, in which case the array inside PHY_VARS_gNB could be
deleted.
On this occasion, clean up the use of init_DLSCH_struct() and
reset_DLSCH_struct() (renamed destroy_DLSCH_struct()) and centralize
their call in phy_init_nr_gNB()/phy_free_nr_gNB(), and correct
simulators accordingly.
TS 38.331 clause 5.3.7.4 specifies to apply the configuration defined in 9.2.1 for SRB1 at UE side.
This implies that the gNB also has to apply sn_field_length = 12, but there are no implications on the other RLC parameters.
As wrong timer values break SRB1 e.g. for long RTT NTN scenarios, this commit switches to using the RLC timer values provided in the configuration file.
Currently we still set poll_pdu, poll_byte and max_retx_threshold to the values defined in 9.2.1, but this can be changed.

We probably almost never care about the date, but it takes a lot of
space. Remove it; if somebody needs the full time stamp including the
date, we could still add it with a new option.
1. Rename oai-flexric to nearRT-RIC. FlexRIC is a project combining nearRT-RIC, xApps, and E2 agent emulators.
2. Instead of undeploying all the containers at the same time, and not checking the logs for xApps and nearRT-RIC, do the following:
- Stop containers (docker compose stop) - one or subgroup of running containers in the following order:
a) xapp-kpm-moni
b) xapp-kpm-rc
c) xapp-gtp-mac-rlc-pdcp-moni
d) oai-nr-ue oai-nr-ue2
e) oai-gnb
f) nearRT-RIC
- Undeploy containers (docker compose down), collect and analyze all the logs.
For some test cases, we might want to stop a service earlier. This
functionality is done by StopObject().
Test log collection is still done by UndeployObject(), which will
collect the logs of all services (at that point, stopped or not).
GetRunningServices() was returning all services, running or stopped.
Hence, rename to reflect what this function does, and rewrite slightly
to better capture what is actually happening. Also, don't return the
container ID, as we don't use it.
Call stop on all services, as we will down the deployment right after.
The list of services is still used to retrieve logs.
Remove a stray "return False", which would sometimes prevent us from
seeing all error messages.
Collection of small fixes
A few fixes needed while testing FHI libraries
- set subcarrier spacing in PUSCH PDU in NRUE
- a set of two LOG_Ds that prints out the PUSCH allocation on gNB & UE
[NGAP] Fix incorrect AMF Set ID type (uint8 → uint16) causing AMF lookup failure
This PR fixes issue #1012 , a data type issue related to the AMF Set ID used
during UE RRC reestablishment. The AMF Set ID was mistakenly declared as uint8_t
instead of uint16_t, even though it is a 10-bit field as specified in 3GPP TS
23.003 section 2.10.1. As a result, AMF Set IDs greater than 255 were truncated,
leading to failed AMF lookups and the following warning: No matching AMF found
for PLMN (MCC=%03d MNC=%0*d) and AMF SetID=%u.
Verified reestablishment succeeds with AMF Set IDs >255.
DLSCH encoding is not concerned with HARQ processes directly. Instead,
it gets the redundancy version and encodes a specific redundancy version
for a given TB. The rest is up to the MAC, the L1 is stateless in that
regard. Hence, remove the HARQ type and put it into DLSCH, which also
simplifies the code elsewhere.
Similarly to the parent commit, simplify the array type to the FAPI PDU
towards further refactoring, and encapsulate the code in a function for
easier reuse in a later refactoring step.
Note on ZP-CSI: after this commit, we continue treating CSI PDUs. The
prior code was returning, which I think is wrong (as this information is
only for the currently treated CSI-RS PDU).
There is no point in tracking the "active" state: the SSB PDU will be
sent from MAC to L1, encoded, and then "discarded" (by marking the
number of SSB PDUs as 0). Hence, remove this intermediate type.
According to TS 38.211 section 6.4.1.4.3, the frequency domain shift value n_shift
is from higher-layer parameter freqDomainShift.
The quantity n_RRC is given by higher-layer parameter freqDomainPosition.
Also corrected k_0_overbar_p calculation formula to align with standard.
Problem:
- GTP-U logs showed negative TEID values (e.g., -1943516315) due to signed/unsigned
conversion. Due to wrong conversion from uint32_t to int and overflow caused negative values.
- TEID values were inconsistently formatted across different log statements, due to
mixed use of %d, %u, %x formats for TEID logging. Made debugging and troubleshooting difficult
Changes:
1. Fixed signed/unsigned conversion bug: use teid_t. Prevents overflow when TEID values exceed int range.
2. Standardized TEID logging format: all TEID values now use '0x%x' hexadecimal format.
Consistent 'TEID' capitalization throughout
According to TS 38.463 - clause 9.2.2.4 and 9.3.3.12.
Also, fix response message by encoding choice IE only
with presence of modified PDU sessions.

Both (DL) PDCCH and UL PDCCH PDU types are fundamentally of the same
type, so correct the array's type to facilitate refactoring later (a
later commit will reuse a single "generate DCI" function for both
cases).
gNB: fix MAC TA command scheduling if measurement gaps are configured
In the current implementation, if UE transmission is interrupted via
nr_mac_interrupt_ue_transmission(), UE_sched_ctrl.ta_frame is modified to be
the previous frame avoiding TA scheduling in the measurement gap. So the next
scheduled TA is shifted to be in 99 frames. As there are other measurement gaps
before that, the scheduled TA is always shifted, but actually never reached,
effectively disabling the MAC TA commands.
To fix this, UE_sched_ctrl.ta_frame is changed to not indicate the last TA
command transmission, but the next one. This allows to check in
nr_mac_interrupt_ue_transmission() if the next TA command transmission is within
the measurement gap and if so shift it to just after that gap.
DCI 00 alt size fix
DCI size for format 00 and 10 should be equal so we need to compute the size of
the alternative format when computing the size of DCIX0. There was a bug where
the alt_size input (0 in that case) was taken into account also when computing
that alternative size, resulting in an alt_size of 0. Possibly easier to
understand by looking at the code then reading this description.
For now, only DL/UL MAC stats.
This commit fixes the "RRU.PrbTotDl" and "RRU.PrbTotUl" measurement calculation
to align with the TS 28.552 specifications.
DL stats (aggregated total and used PRBs) previosuly used only for O1 interface,
now finds the purpose for E2 interface as well.
New UL stats (aggregated total and used PRBs) serve for E2 interface only.

SDAP: guard RX header parsing with enable_sdap and init per-entity
!3519 (merged) refactored the SDAP to use the QFI from the header rather than
pass it to the rx function and got rid of the initialization of QFI to -1.
However, entity roles are stored into the drb2qfi table, and the indexing
implies that the QFI is known.
While in TX it is not an issue since packets are forwarded based on the QFI,
in RX the QFI can only be parsed from the header, therefore if headers are
disabled (--enable_sdap) the QFI is not there and it is wrong to access the
header (buf[0]) and looking for it.
This commit adds enable_sdap to nr_sdap_entity_t and initialize it in
nr_sdap_add_entity() from sdap->role (disabled when NO_SDAP_HEADER).
In nr_sdap_rx_entity(), only parse buf[0] for QFI and derive sdap_ul_rx/
sdap_dl_rx when enable_sdap is true; otherwise, keep offset=0 and forward
payload unchanged.
NTN: Fixing variable ULDLduplex issue for NTN bands
- Duplex is assumed to be static but for NTN bands (and also for some non NTN
bands), it is not static.
- Tx-RX Duplex is defined in section 5.4.4 of 38.101-5 (for NTN) specs v1809
- For example: In NTN-OTA testing, the GEO satellite operator configured in
band 256 the DL, UL frequencies with duplex of 185Mhz.
Using nFAPI introduces additional delays. At the same time, RFsim does
not run in real-time, and we can allow a low sl_ahead, as RFsim will
"wait" for the gNB.
Therefore, reduce sl_ahead to ensure that the response window does not
run out during handling of RA in nFAPI.

CI: Add unified Jenkinsfile for all test pipelines
This MR introduces a single Jenkinsfile to cover all current CI test pipelines
Improvements:
- correct reporting of the start timestamp in the HTML report
- harmonize log collection - always collect as test_logs_${env.BUILD_ID}.zip
Fix unsigned to signed decoding parameters to allow for 'no affinity'/'no pin'
threads to CPUs
By default, 'L1_rx_thread_core', 'L1_tx_thread_core', 'ru_thread_core' are set
to '-1' but the values were decoded from config file as unsigned instead of
signed types, thus, it was not allowing to set them with '-1' from config file.
PRS bug fix and CI Integration
- Fix the bug in PRS channel estimation while copying memory to compute the
impulse response
- Integrate PRS testing to CI
Simplify node management in CI, handle SIGINT
- Make a single <node> XML step entry common to all XML steps to harmonize code
- Handle SIGINT to make it possible to more easily stop the CI script.
Bugfix: save old tunnel info to remain the user plane connection while rolling
back to source DU due to handover failure
This MR closes issue #984 that UE lost the data plane connection while rolling
back to the source DU due to handover failure.
NR UE: fix PDCCH LLR indexing for different search space RB sizes
After !3603 (merged), when multiple search spaces have different CORESET
configurations (different number of RBs), the LLR buffer stride must be
calculated based on the maximum RB size across all search spaces, not the
current search space's RB size.
The LLR buffer is allocated with size based on get_pdcch_max_rbs(), but the
demapping function was using coreset_nbr_rb (current search space) for symbol
stride calculation, causing incorrect LLR extraction when search spaces have
different RB configurations.
This MR tries to fix it.
Closes#1021
Set the subcarrier_spacing field in nfapi_nr_ue_pusch_pdu_t from MAC
to PHY. This has no consequence for the NR UE Softmodem operation as this
field is never read, but prevents a potential future bug in case L1 was
modified to read it.
By default, 'L1_rx_thread_core', 'L1_tx_thread_core', 'ru_thread_core' are set to '-1' but the values were decoded from config file as unsigned instead of signed types, thus, it was not allowing to set them with '-1' from config file
This commit inputs several distances at once and obtain the summary of
successful and failed tests. We look for the number of successful tests
that are geater than 0. We do that here since we sometimes dont receive
a response for a telnet command from the rfsim although the command
is applied. This is related to the queing telnet commands in the rfsim.
The script for the distances 50, 100 and 150 are called as follows,
./set-and-verify-distance-prs.sh 50 100 150
The summary can be viewed as follows,
==================== SUMMARY ====================
Total tests run : 3
Successful tests: 3
Failed tests : 0
=================================================
Set RFsim (DL) distance and use PRS to estimate the new distance. This
is verified by comparing the distance set in RFsim with the distance
reported through ToA estimation at the UE.
Note that since RFsim telnet output is asynchronous (it uses a queue
internally), we use grep --max-count 1 to wait for the matching line,
together with ncat --idle 0.3 to keep ncat open for some time. The
--max-count option will terminate grep after the first occurrence. For
this to work reliably, we need to use grep <(echo | ncat) as opposod to
simply echo | ncat | grep, as the latter does not seem to reliably
make grep exit after the occurrence.

When multiple search spaces have different CORESET configurations
(different number of RBs), the LLR buffer stride must be calculated
based on the maximum RB size across all search spaces, not the
current search space's RB size.
The LLR buffer is allocated with size based on get_pdcch_max_rbs(),

space) for symbol stride calculation, causing incorrect LLR extraction
when search spaces have different RB configurations.
Handle SIGINT and mark any subsequent steps as failed. Receiving SIGINT
a second time will abort the script immediately (as is the case before
this commit).
Note that Python seems to relay the signal to the "controlled" process
(e.g., Ping), which would return immediately with an error. So some
steps like Ping will abort immediately, others (e.g., IdleSleep) will
finish their step, and then the present logic will mark subsequent steps
as failed.
Some CI tasks/commands like Iperf(), Ping() get multiple nodes (via XML
parameter "nodes") to potentially run UEs on different nodes (hosts) at
the same time. However, I argue that this is not good:
- we don't actually use this -- where we specify multiple UEs, it's
always "localhost localhost..."
- it is inconsistent, as we typically have a single "node", not nodes,
and there is a possibility to harmonize (see also next commit)
- if we needed it, there would be better ways to achieve the same.
First, for hardware-based UEs, the ci_infra.yaml can specify different
UEs. For simulated UEs, it would be feasible to have multiple XML
steps run in parallel, e.g., in the XML <parallel> tag, which would
clarify that multiple UEs on different hosts run in parallel
- it reduces code.
Hence, make a single <node> for these XML steps.
Created Jenkinsfiles:
- Jenkinsfile: for stadard test pipelines
- Jenkinsfile-oc: for deployments with OC
These 2 Jenkinsfiles covers all current test pipelines.
Previously, we were using int16_t for the variable ch_tmp which was later harmonized to use c16_t while leaving <<1. This introduced the bug while accessing the address of the element at first_half of the ch_tmp variable.

See merge request oai/openairinterface5g!3727
Change registry name env var content
Currently setting REGISTRY="" in a .env file results in docker failing to find
/image-name:tag. This corrects that, so it looks for local images named
image-name:tag.
Following the change to use:
image: ${REGISTRY-oaisoftwarealliance/}${GNB_IMG:-oai-gnb}:${TAG:-develop}
the REGISTRY variable must now include the trailing slash.
Refactor DLSCH scheduler
Refactor the DLSCH post processor similarly to what has been done in
!3521 with the goal of saving an additional iteration through all UEs,
hopefully making the DLSCH scheduler faster.
It further includes changes to make working with and debugging multi-UE
operation easier:
- add some measurements in L1 (for total TX/RX time)
- a new option MACRLCs.[0].stats_max_ue to limit the number of UEs in
the periodic output (default: 8, 0=disable)
- avoid stack overflow in the MAC
- fix the writing of stats to nrMAC_stats.log and nrL1_stats.log when
the written output reduces by truncating the files
- avoid to schedule retransmission with 0 RBs.
This slightly speeds up the scheduler (it e.g., does not need to check
for UEs that have retransmissions), and harmonizes with pf_ul(), which
evaluates (UL) BSR at a similar place within the scheduler.
Check and return, if necessary, that we have enough resources to make
retransmissions. Without, we can asserts in L1, such as
Assertion (NPRB>0 && (NPRB + RBstart <= BWPsize)) failed!
In PRBalloc_to_locationandbandwidth0() openairinterface5g/common/utils/nr/nr_common.c:506
Illegal NPRB/RBstart Configuration (0,51) for BWPsize 51
which indicates that the scheduler requested a transmission with 0 PRBs,
which does not make sense.
Refactor PRACH handling at the gNB
- Remove race conditions by correctly setting mutexes
- Fix a bug when having multiple RACH occasions
- Reduce memory footprint by removing global memory, which should also
fix potential memory data races in FHI 7.2
- Additional fixes, see commit messages
a bit difficult to understand: sl_ahead=6 => we systematically miss the
rach detection in the scheduler because the scheduler runs more than 6
slots ahead the rx slot processing (here > 11 slots because 6 (DL and UL
slots) + 4 (RU_RX_SLOT_DEPTH, so UL only))
so, reducing sl_ahead works better than large sl_ahead because the idea
behind is: the scheduler of slot+sl_ahead will never create work to do
in a UL slot before slot+sl_ahead+X (as minimum k2 is X, in the 24PRB CI
test: 6)
saves about 600MB of memory allocation
Move the definition of PRACH items and the PRACH list to the
defs_nr_commons.h file.
Do not re-write the entire structure in nr_schedule_rx_prach(), as it is
quite large now.
Call the post-processor when the allocation is "fixed" (i.e., nothing
changes anymore), instead of having a final loop across all UEs that
might potentially be costly.
In order to calculate the PF metric, note that the statistics "reset" is
moved into pf_dl() instead of the post-processing loop, as it has to be
done on each slot.
See also: dd98030202 ("Refactor to call post-processor in place")
Similarly to parent commit(s), assign sched_pdsch in a single place
instead of relying on sched_ctrl. In a follow-up commit, the
post-processor will be called in a single place.
Similarly to parent commit(s), refactor the use of NR_sched_pdsch.
Instead of using nr_mac->sched_ctrlCommon, put the NR_sched_pdsch_t on
the stack.
This also refactors update_rb_mcs_tbs() to update the existing
NR_sched_pdsch instead of updating individual fields.
This also reduces the extend to which sched_ctrlCommon is used.
Assign NR_sched_pdsch to sched_ctrl->sched_pdsch in one place, where the
post-processing functionality will be called in a follow-up commit. This
should result in no functional change.
It seems to be assumed that curInfo actually has the currently active
number of layers/PMI. However, I am not sure this would always be true
(e.g., UE might not have been scheduled for some slots, but number of
layers decreased as reported by CSI). Instead, recalculate the info
from scratch when necessary.
PF uses MCS and average throughput to decide which UE to schedule. Thus,
the first loop decides on MCS, whereas the second does the "main UE
allocation" after sorting by the PF metric.
A follow-up commit will remove sched_pusch from NR_UE_sched_ctrl_t.
Thus, we cannot rely on sched_ctrl to store the MCS in the first loop,
and look it up from there in the second. Instead, store it as part of
the UE iterator data, and take it from there.
See also: f3068caa37 ("Store selected MCS in UE iterator", for UL)
Introduce a struct with information on FAPI structures to save resource
and data allocation into. It's in nr_mac_gNB.h because the next commits
will reuse this for all preprocessors.
Especially in pf_dl()/pf_ul(), we use a first loop using
UE_iterator(), then iterate over a subset of UEs. It has happened a
couple of times that I was using variable "UE" (from the iterator), when
it should only be used in the first UE_iterator() loop.
Rewrite UE_iterator() to effectively limit the scope of the iterator
variables to the body of the UE_iterator. This should also make it
possible to reuse multiple UE_iterator()s with the same variables in
sequence.
CI: ensure clean iperf3 server startup
- Resolves issue with iperf3 test failure in RFSim5G multiue test
- Minor fix of iperf3 test descriptions in RFSim5G pipeline
Fix for scenario with no CSI report configured for CSI-RS
After changes in !3714 (merged), if we select to measure RSRP on SSB and not
CSI-RS (default option) and there is a single antenna port (so no MIMO report
either) we won't schedule any CSI-RS measurements for the UE. In that case
ideally we shouldn't set do_CSIRS = 1 in configuration file but still the
option is possible. So the fix is to not perform any measurements at UE on
that CSI-RS but not asserting.
Closes#1015
1. Create a free_ru_session_list() function to free the memory allocated for the connected RUs
before closing the nr-softmodem.
2. xmlReadMemory() and xmlNodeGetContent() were causing serious memory leakages,
and now all is properly freed using xmlFreeDoc() and xmlFree().
This struct is used in multiple source files.
Previously, when stopping the nr-softmodem, the ru_session_list "disappears"
and the M-plane wasn't terminated properly (num_rus = 0 even though DU connected to at least one RU).
MIMO mode is defined by setting separate carriers to different antenna ports.
Benetel v1.2.2 does not support MIMO mode to be set via M-plane, and therefore
we only created one Tx and one Rx carrier.
Benetel v1.4.1 supports MIMO mode setting via M-plane.
Therefore, this commit introduces the adaptation based on the number of supported carriers by a DUT RU.
These 3 states: "oper-state", "admin-state", "availability-state" are optional,
but shall be checked in order to activate the carriers. If an O-RU doesn't support it,
we assume the expected values:
- "oper-state" = "enabled"
- "admin-state" = "unlocked"
- "availability-state" = "NORMAL"
Implement retrieval of the hardware states if O-RU supports, i.e. Benetel release v1.4.1.
Duplex is assumed to be static but for NTN bands, it is not static.
TxRX Duplex is defined in section 5.4.4 of 38.101-5 (for NTN) specs v1809
n256 190 MHz, 165 to 215 MHz
n255 -101.5 MHz, -72.5 to -130.5 MHz
n254 862 - 885 MHz
The function rx_nr_prach become autonomous, it doesn't read anymore global variables
So, it can become (later) a threadpool work, that will send a message when it finishes
rx_nr_prach_ru() still use some global variables, but it is executed in sequence, inside the ru main loop, that limits the probability of race conditions
Before starting a new iperf3 server instance in CI tests, explicitly kill any existing
iperf3 processes bound to the same port. This prevents conflicts or failures caused by
leftover iperf3 servers from previous runs that did not terminate properly or on time.
The cleanup is performed using `pkill` before launching the new server.
Handle GTP receiver errors, fix memory leaks, add CU-UP test
- Fix use-after-free bugs in GTP by properly stopping the receive thread(s)
- Fix a bug from !3519 (merged): QFI 0 is a valid QFI
- Fix multiple memory leaks in CU-UP, E1, CU-UP load tester, SCTP
- Add a (conservative) functional CU-UP test that verifies that the load tester
and CU-UP work. Test only a low throughput, as it will run in parallel with
other tests.
Use the CU-UP load tester to test the functionality of the CU-UP and
its loader tester. The requirements on this load test are intentionally
low, as it will be run with other unit tests in parallel, and should
still pass.
It uses an existing configuration file for the CU-UP. The test script
runs the CU-UP, runs the load tester, stops the CU-UP, and returns the
load tester return value as test result (which will be 0=success if all
packets have been received).
Note that this strdup has been intentioally created for debugging
purposes in core files.

QFI 0 is a valid QFI: don't check for qfi <= 0, as uint8 cannot be
negative. Also, correctly use SDAP_MAP_RULE_EMPTY for a DRB ID (which
need to be larger than 0).
The gNB will stop the periodical logging of UEs in MAC Info level after
a configurable number of UEs have been printed, by default 8.
Set it to 17 in some CI tests to ensure we still get all UEs for the
time being, as the CI might depend on this.
improvements in formatting and LOGs in DMRS common functions at MAC
DMRS LOGs at MAC were misleading. This MR tried to improve them (and also
adds some formatting fix).
The call to snprintf() as was used is wrong: we use the return value to
advance output, but the man page says
> The functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() do not write more than size
> bytes (including the terminating null byte ('\0')). If the output was
> truncated due to this limit, then the return value is the number of
> characters (excluding the terminating null byte) which would have been
> written to the final string if enough space had been available.
> Thus, a return value of size or more means that the output was
> truncated.
Thus, output could go beyond end, and we get a stack overflow. Instead,
encapsulate the call to snprintf() checking this condition, and only
advancing output as intended, limiting to 0 if we are at the end of the
buffer. This avoids this error:

There is the (global) sched_lock that prevents concurrent access. A
dedicated UE lock does not make sense in that case. Worse, this lock
does not prevent all concurrent UE accesses (e.g., there are many loops
over UEs that are not protected), so it's also wrong.
truncate resets the file size to 0. Without this, e.g., when
disconnecting a UE, the old UE remains at the end and is not
overwritten, which is confusing.
- Corrected AMF Set ID data type in ngap_gNB_nnsf_select_amf_by_amf_setid() from uint8_t to uint16_t.
- AMF Set ID is a 10-bit field as per 3GPP TS 38.413 §9.3.3.12.
- The incorrect data type caused truncation for AMF Set IDs >255, leading to lookup failures during RRC reestablishment.
- Verified successful reestablishment with large AMF Set IDs after the fix.
Reason for fix: AMF lookup using AMF Set ID was failing because the 10-bit AMF Set ID was truncated to 8 bits.

Other CSI measurement fixes
Errors fixed in this MR:
- UE currently sends empty CSI measurement report resulting in invalid
cqi_idx 0, default to MCS 9 at gNB because mismanagement of new L1
measurement structure at MAC UE
- nrofReportedRS not updated after UE capability reception at gNB
- multiple RSRP reports multiplexed / de-multiplexed in wrong order
Refactor SDAP adaptation work for QoS
This MR is an adaptation of the code introduced in !2703.
The goal is a cleanup and functional refactor of the SDAP/PDCP
integration, that is:
- centralize SDAP configuration logic
- simplify entity creation
- improve robustness of role-based SDAP handling
- prepare the codebase for clean support of DRB reconfiguration and
teardown flows
More concretely:
1. New sdap_config_t and get_sdap_Config()
- Introduced an internal struct sdap_config_t to abstract SDAP config
input
- Centralized SDAP config parsing into new get_sdap_Config() function
that translates ASN.1 NR_SDAP_Config into this internal
representation. This is called during RRC triggered
(re)configuration procedures.
- Enable mapping of number of QoS flows > 1
2. Unified role handling with bitmasks
- Added a bitmask-based entity_role field to track SDAP directions:
SDAP_UL_RX, SDAP_UL_TX, SDAP_DL_RX, SDAP_DL_TX: header presence was
determined by simple direction (UE vs gNB) and individual
is_sdap_rx/tx() checks, however nr_sdap_rx_entity behaves
differently depending on the direction of the RX entity (DL/UL),
therefore this change can help enable a more accurate SDAP header
handling across directions and node types.
- Replaces old helpers is_sdap_rx() / is_sdap_tx() with internal
checks against the role bitfield
- QFI-to-DRB mapping is now annotated with direction for both data and
control PDUs
3. Simplified DRB and SDAP setup
- add_drb() in PDCP API now delegates SDAP config processing cleanly
- new_nr_sdap_entity() is used consistently to register a fresh SDAP
context for the UE and PDU session.
- Also, re-use and reconfigure existing SDAP entity if already
exists.
- logging has been added to trace mapped QFIs from RRC and resulting
table entries
4. Improved QFI-to-DRB management
- Refactored nr_sdap_qfi2drb_map_update() to register QFIs based on
parsed config
- Ensures control PDUs are correctly routed even after reconfiguration
- Extended nr_sdap_ue_qfi2drb_config: perform UL QoS flow to DRB
mapping configuration for a SDAP entity has already been established
according to TS 37.324, 5.3 QoS flow to DRB Mapping, 5.3.1
Configuration Procedures. Handle both UL QoS Flows mapping rules to
add and to remove. QFIs will now be properly unmapped if specified
via mappedQoS_FlowsToRelease, this might prevent stale QFI mappings
from being used incorrectly.
- nr_sdap_qfi2drb() and sdap_map_ctrl_pdu() now strictly fallback to
default_drb only if a QFI mapping is missing. Missing default DRB
now triggers LOG_E() (previously silent or misrouted to DRB 0).
5. Other cleanup
- Remove dependencies from legacy rb_id_t
Improve handling of selection of RSRP/SINR report via configuration file
In current develop, the selection of SSB or CRI RSRP depends on the
do_CSIRS flag being activated. That's not wanted. CRI report for now it
is never handled, while we need SSB RSRP report for beam switching
regardless of CSI-RS configuration.
This commit refactors the SDAP entity QoS flow to DRB mapping functionality
to improve code organization and enhance maintainability.
Key changes:
- Split nr_sdap_qfi2drb_map_update into focused functions:
* nr_sdap_add_qos_flows_to_drb: handles QFI addition to DRB
* nr_sdap_rm_qos_flows_from_drb: handles QFI removal from DRB
* nr_sdap_ue_control_pdu_config: handles UE control PDU generation
- Consolidate add/modify logic into reusable nr_sdap_addmod_entity function
- Remove entity existence checking and updating from new_nr_sdap_entity:
this function should only add SDAP entities
- Improve function separation of concerns: do SDAP entity add or update
separately and improve modularity by splitting operations in self
contained functions
- At SDAP creation, do only add of QFI to DRB mapping
- rename new_nr_sdap_entity to nr_sdap_add_entity for function naming consinstency
- Remove rb_id parameter from nr_sdap_tx_entity() function signature
- Update tx_entity function pointer
- Remove rb_id parameter from sdap_data_req() function signature
- Remove unused rb_id variable from sdap_tun_read_thread
The rb_id parameter was redundant since SDAP determines DRB ID
from QFI mapping via entity->qfi2drb_map(entity, qfi). This
simplifies the interface.
Each QFI should always be mapped to a DRB. If that is not the case, we
have an undefined behavior. This should not occur. This commit prints
an error in tx_entity and returns.
The TX/RX entity should have different behavior according to
5.2.1, 5.2.2, 3GPP TS 37.324, depending on whether it is UL and DL.
The gNB can play a role both as UL RX entity and DL TX entity, while
the UE can play a role both as UL TX entity and DL RX entity.
The goal of this commit is to extend the information stored in the
SDAP entity as the current code is just marking the entity as TX/RX.
The commit introduces a bitmap to store the role of the
entity, which can be DL RX, DL TX, UL RX and UL TX. Based on this
the TX SDAP entity knows whether a DL/UL PDU should be build, and
the RX SDAP entity knows whether a DL/UL PDU should be processed.
See also Figure 4.2.2-1.
SDAP headers are present only if enable_sdap option is used.
nr_sdap_qfi2drb_map_update function pointer should
process QFIs to add and release from the entity mapping, therefore
a new function pointer for QFIs to add was introduced and
the function pointer to release the QFIs was called in the same function.
Now the nr_sdap_qfi2drb_map_update is:
(1) looping through the QFIs to add/update and store in the qfi2drb_table
(2) looping through the QFIs to release and delete from qfi2drb_table
Also:
* Update the function signature to use sdap_config_t and nr_sdap_entity_t
* log error when the update fails
* limit the scope of the function
* clang-formatted
* removed limit on table entries set by AVLBL_DRB, replaced with MAX_DRBS_PER_UE
The function nr_sdap_ue_qfi2drb_config should do UL QoS flow to DRB mapping configuration
for a SDAP entity has already been established according to TS 37.324, 5.3 QoS flow to
DRB Mapping, 5.3.1 Configuration Procedures. It should handle both mapping rules to add and to remove.
To this purpose:
* Simplify function signature by passing the sdap config.
* Improve readability of the function.
* Move handling of sdap.mappedQFIs2ReleaseCount (in nr_reconfigure_sdap_entity)
inside the function.
* Simplify end-marker control PDU mapping function by removing unused
DRB ID input parameter (the function is fetching the DRB ID based on the input
map type)
* use int instead of legacy rb_id_t
* limit scope of functions whenever necessary
The goal of this function is to return the DRB ID mapped to the input QFI, for both DL and UL.
The function looks up the DRB that is mapped to the QFI, if no mapping rule exists
returns the default DRB. Returns 0 If no mapping and no default DRB exists for that QFI
The function should not update the stored mapping rules, that is done when receiving
a new SDAP configuration. In this function it was removed.
See TS 37.324, 5.2.1 Uplink
> If there is no stored QoS flow to DRB mapping rule for the QoS flow as specified in the subclause 5.3,
> map the SDAP SDU to the default DRB else, map the SDAP SDU to the DRB according to the stored QoS flow to DRB mapping rule.
* change function signature: pass the sdap_config_t
* update qfi2drb mapping when receiving a configuration for an already existing SDAP entity
* always update mapping rules, not only for default DRB
* use get_sdap_Config to process sdap_Config
* move SDAP config logic to the scope where it is relevant
* add SDAP entity direcly in RRC, not from PDCP
* replaced nr_pdcp_add_drbs with single add_drb call: it was no longer
efficient to keep it in the new logic. The addMod list can be looped directly in RRC.
* add specific function to add bearers from addMod list in E1, NSA, and UE
fix direct bugs of not used RU_RX_SLOT_DEPTH defined constant
with this commit, the gNB can work if we change RU_RX_SLOT_DEPTH to
another value than 4 but it remain not well designed
Initialize NCC=0 on NGAP Initial Context Setup (3GPP TS 33.501 §6.9.2.1.1)
The nhcc should be initialized to 0 upon Initial Context Setup.
Also, remove unused kgnb_ncc: nh_ncc is already there.
Closes#1008
[CI] Update the Push to DockerHub Stage
This MR addresses two cases:
1. Error Handling: Ensures subsequent Image Test Processes stages
continue to run even if the preceding Push to DockerHub stage fails
(applies when the condition is PUSH event and doBuild is true).
2. Introduces conditional logic to correctly handle multi-architecture
images: Images built for both AMD64 and Jetson ARMv8 (oai-gnb,
oai-nr-ue, oai-nr-cuup) use docker buildx imagetools for push to
DockerHub.
All other AMD64 images are pushed using standard Docker commands.

Add monolithic N2 handover test pipeline with B210 and Quectel
The goal of this MR is to provide an automated end-to-end N2 HO
validation with real RF (B210) and Quectel UE.
During the testing phase a post-HO assertion failure due to
uninitialized selected_plmn_identity was found: this was also fixed.
CI: Add monolithic N2 handover test pipeline (B210 + Quectel)
- New XML pipeline for N2 HO testing
- Docker Compose for two monolithic gNBs (gNB1/gNB2)
- Handover sequence: gNB1 → gNB2 → gNB1 with 5s controlled attenuation
(RC4DAT).
- Channel mapping: ch1-2 gNB1, ch3-4 gNB2
- Telnet server enabled for CI commands
- Clean-up/reset of attenuator state included
NGAP
- fix PLMN/cell location for Initial UE and Uplink NAS
- Prevents assertion in ngap_gNB_nas_uplink() due to uninitialized
selected_plmn_identity
- Initial UE Message: pass UE-selected PLMN and NR cell ID from RRC to
NGAP
- Uplink NAS Transport: use PLMN, TAC, and cell ID from the message
- Build NR CGI as gNB ID + cell ID
- Store UE-selected PLMN only in RRC UE context (for later NAS); stop
storing PLMN in NGAP UE context.
- PLMN validation when processing handover requests from the source gNB:
when PLMN validation fails, the target gNB now properly sends
NGAP_HANDOVER_FAILURE
- Store serving PLMN for later use in UE context
UE symbol based PDCCH receiver
This is a partial rebase/rewrite of !2895
The goal of this MR is to check how we can merge this.
The eventual result is stated in !2895. The way forward is to modify UE
RX procedures to work symbol by symbol by extracting the symbol loop out
of RX procedures. After all channels are modified this way, the main
thread can be modified to work symbol by symbol.
At this point only PDCCH was modified.
This change is needed due to the previous addition of the function nfapi_stop_l1() in gnb_config.c which in turn calls 2 functions that do not exist in the simulators, since they're not linked against the nfapi libraries
This implements the STOP.request/indication for all 3 transport mechanisms, the VNF will send the STOP.request to the PNF, indicating it will disconnect, and await a STOP.indication from the PNF
The WLS VNF is reworked to be able to start before the PNF, by calling call rte_eal_init and rte_dev_probe to determine if dpdk has been initialized properly, before calling rte_eal_init in the intended process when it is appropriate to do so
The WLS VNF is reworked to be able to start before the PNF, by calling call rte_eal_init and rte_dev_probe to determine if dpdk has been initialized properly, before calling rte_eal_init in the intended process when it is appropriate to do so
- Push both AMD64 & ARMv8 Jetson images together for images built on both using `docker buildx imagetools`
- Use standard 'docker pull and push' for images built only on AMD64.
This allows access to the VNF configuration in the various transport mechanisms straight from config, without this, the transport specific thread would cause a segmentation fault when trying to access the pack/unpack function pointers.
Add 2 functions to access the P5 and P7 VNF structures, to avoid having to always cast user_data and p7_vnfs
Prevent assertion in ngap_gNB_nas_uplink() due to uninitialized selected_plmn_identity:
the selected_plmn_identity field was not being set during N2 handover,
causing the assertion ((plmn->mnc_digit_length == 3) || (plmn->mnc_digit_length == 2))
to fail when processing subsequent NAS messages. The issue is that the Serving PLMN
is not stored by RRC. During N2 mobility, RRC can get this info from GUAMI.
When receiving the Handover Request the target gNB knows from GUAMI
which serving PLMN is the AMF belonging to. In current design, allowed PLMNs
are stored in rrc.configuration. The incoming PLMN needs to be validate
against the PLMNs in the list, then stored in the UE context as Serving PLMN.
This change adds PLMN validation when processing handover requests from the source gNB.
The validation is needed because:
- Target gNB must verify that the PLMN from the GUAMI in the handover request
is allowed by its configuration before accepting the handover to prevent handover
to unsupported PLMNs.
- When PLMN validation fails, the target gNB now properly sends NGAP_HANDOVER_FAILURE
- UE Context must store serving PLMN for later use
This commit is removing the storage of selected PLMN in NGAP UE context.
We store the Serving PLMN in the RRC UE context instead.
The Selected PLMN is the PLMN that the UE chose (or was directed to) for registration
and it is sent in the RRCSetupComplete. This is different from the selected
PLMN mentioned in the NG INITIAL UE MESSAGE for network sharing.
Selected PLMN: determines which core network and AMF the UE is registered with
GUAMI = Identifies the serving AMF and includes the PLMN of that AMF
Serving PLMN: the PLMN that is currently serving the UE (e.g. contained in GUAMI)
The AMF’s PLMN may match the selected PLMN, or not (especially in network sharing or roaming).
Regardless, the UE always have a Serving PLMN.
Initial UE message does not have a TAI IE per se, but TAI is a mandatory
member of the mandatory UserLocationInformation CHOICE.
NR CGI is also mandatory and carried inside UserLocationInformation:
in network sharing, the PLMN ID in TAI takes on additional
significance: RAN is shared but CN are different, so in this case PLMN in TAI is
needed for the AMF route the message to the correct operator’s core.
If network sharing applies (e.g., shared RAN between PLMN-A and PLMN-B):
the UE or network may select PLMN-B instead, and that PLMN identity
is included in the Initial UE Message’s TAI IE.
Conclusion:
1) UE always sends the selected PLMN during the registration,
regardless of whether it is shared or not.
2) Selected PLMN Identity is an actual IE sent in the RRCSetupComplete
while in NGAP there's no Selected PLMN Identity IE, only PLMN Identity
IEs in both TAI and NR CGI. It is a subtle difference.
3) The serving PLMN of the UE needs to be stored in RRC UE Context for
later use in NAS procedures. e.g. at initial registration it matches
the Selected PLMN
4) No need to store PLMN in NGAP UE Context, params are passed by RRC
5) TAI and NR CGI, which contain the PLMN identity, are mandatory in
UserLocationInformation IE CHOICE, and should reflect current status
Changes
- Initial UE Message: pass UE-selected PLMN and NR cell id from RRC to NGAP
- Uplink NAS Transport: use PLMN, TAC, and cell id provided by the message;
- Build NR CGI from gNB ID + cell id
- Store UE-selected PLMN only in RRC UE context at NAS_FIRST_REQ for later
Uplink NAS, stop storing PLMN in NGAP UE context
- Add XML pipeline for N2 handover testing
- Add Docker compose for two monolithic gNBs
- Features:
* Two monolithic gNBs (gNB1, gNB2) with proper CU+DU parameters
* Gradual attenuation control using RC4DAT attenuator (5s duration)
* N2 handover sequence: gNB1 → gNB2 → gNB1
* Proper channel mapping: ch1-2 for gNB1, ch3-4 for gNB2
* Telnet server configuration for CI commands
* Handover-specific neighbor configuration
* Clean test state management with attenuator reset

1. Refactor PDCCH PHY functions to take rxdataF of one OFDM symbol and
produce LLR for each search space. The modified functions take
rxdataF in a different format than that produced by nr_slot_fep(). So
for now a memcpy is used to change the array structure. Once
nr_slot_fep() is modified, this memcpy will no longer be needed and
will be removed.
2. Modify DCI functions to decode DCI in the last PDCCH symbol and
inidcate to MAC once.
3. Fix PDCCH monitoring for start symbol > 0.
4. Fix multiple PDCCH monitoring within slot.
Co-authored-by: Sakthivel Velumani <mail@sakthi.me>
1.Create new funtion nr_symbol_fep() to do OFDM demod of one symbol on
all antennas. This is called by nr_slot_fep() for now. In the
upcoming MR, this function will be called directly after reading
each OFDM symbol from the radio.
2.Removed redundant memory alignment. DFT function performs memory
alignment if the input memory is not aligned.
Fixes for T-Tracer to work with NR-UE
Fixes to align NR UE events with their definitions in T_messages.txt and
match the expected format in the tracer GUI parser.
Also fixes DL SNR to work in tracer GUI.
Support beam index in OAI 7.2 Fronthaul Interface
This branch supports beam index in OAI 7.2 Fronthaul Interface.
- For CP DL (PDSCH), nBeamIndex of the corresponding prbMapElm is set
when sending IQ data in oran_fh_if4p5_south_out. nBeamIndex of the
corresponding prbMapElm is set when sending IQ data in
oran_fh_if4p5_south_out.
- For CP UL (PUSCH and PRACH), nBeamIndex of the corresponding prbMapElm
is set in oran_fh_if4p5_south_out.
In addition, it fixes a couple of issues
- XRAN hardcodes nBeamIndex of PRACH to zero. Modify XRAN to support
setting of nBeamIndex of PRACH and update xran F release patch.
- Fix the bug in calculating fh_config->neAxc where num_beams_period is
multiplified twice
Testing methodology: Use Benetel O_RU for testing even though it does
not support beamforming. With successful registration and data transfer,
one could check the pcap on the fronthaul interface to see if CP packets
are with the right beam index.
Results:
1. Verified that CP-packets for SSB, DCI, PDSCH, PRACH, PDSCH, PUSCH,
CSI-RS and SRS are with the right beam index
2. Verified that there is no side-effect on Benetel O_RU. UE could
register properly.
3. Verified 4 SSB with ssb_PositionsInBurst_Bitmap = 85. Could see SSB
and PRACH with 4 different indices.
Handle CP UL packet at xran_fx_tx_send_slot() instead of
xran_fh_rx_read_slot(), as the latter would set this information too
late (on reception on samples, but it needs to be filled in the CP
packet prior to reception).
Initialize ru_info structure with beam information, and set beams on TX
direction. Initialize the number of antennas for both RX/TX in both
cases for completeness.
By configuring the Jenkins pythonExecutor to match the test machine, we can use
localhost as the node for running individual test cases. This change makes it
easy to move tests across machines, as the only adjustment needed is updating
the pythonExecutor in Jenkins.

CI: Upgrade Aerial setup to 25-2.1
The purpose of this MR is to upgrade the cuBB image in the Aerial setup to
release 25-2.1 and update the doc/Aerial_FAPI_Split_Tutorial.md accordingly.
CI: Upgrade HO setup to use an attenuator
The goal of this MR is to upgrade HO CI setup to include a digital attenuator
that will allow us to trigger handover by attenuating the signals on the DUs.
Doing this before using set_master_clock_rate() on the B200 seems to
invalidate synchronization setting.

- Add band mismatch check in valid_du_in_neighbour_configs function
- Ensures neighbor cell band matches serving cell band
- Prevents invalid neighbor configurations for handover
The code only checked that Msg3 would be scheduled during UL, but in
some combinations, e.g., with DSUUU, the current slot can very well be
UL as well => we would schedule DCI in UL slot.
Update cuBB image to cubb-build:25-2.1_srs-ul-heavy (release 25-2.1 with

fix non initialized DMRS port value in case of DCI00 at UE
When transmitted PUSCH is neither scheduled by DCI format 0_1 with CRC
scrambled by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, SP-CSI-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI, nor
corresponding to a configured grant, the UE shall use [...] DM-RS port
0.
In UE code it was not set in case of DCI00 and that was leading to ULSCH
failures in some scenarios.

OAI UE: add shared RSRP Table 10.1.6.1-1 mapping function to helpers and adopt
it RRC UE
- Add to common/utils/nr/nr_common remove from NR_MAC_UE/nr_ue_procedures.c
- Adopt in asn1_msg.c for MeasurementReport: this solves the following possible
assert:

Motivation: unify RSRP-to-index mapping across layers and fix NR RRC
MeasurementReport encoding failures due to out-of-range values by reusing the
validated mapping.
Note: NR_RSRP-Range.c constraint: /* (0..127) */
Also refactored MeasurementReport to improve the code.
Remove B200-specific clock-rate setting
Avoid this clock-rate setting, as we already do it around usrp_lib.cpp:1121, so
it is superfluous. For instance, we also do not set a master clock rate for N3xx
either. This also enables us to synchronize B200 for handover settings,
e.g., for !3651.
See the commit message for more information about synchronization.
- Simplify do_nrMeasurementReport_SA API (encoder allocates local report)

Remove NR L2 simulator code from UE
This MR removes NR (SA and NSA) L2 simulator from the codebase. The code, at
least at the UE side, was done at a time where there was no clear L2/L1 split
leading to a complex implementation that never worked as expected. The L2
simulator has been broken and removed from testing for long time and, once it
needs to be revived, it would require a complete new implementation.
Assign antenna ports correctly for 1 and 2 layers for aerial.
With this change aerial successfully decodes PUSCH with 2 UL layers.
The code should use sched_pusch->dmrs.num_dmrs_cdm_grps_no_data == 1 rather
than NFAPI_MODE != NFAPI_MODE_AERIAL, but that will make the changes a bit
more extensive.
Prior to this change, sending antenna_ports.val = 2 with rank 2 would tell
the UE to transmit on DMRS ports 2,3 rather than 0,1 causing it to not decode.
[CI] Ensure multi-arch DockerHub Push after successful image build
This merge request improves the CI script to ensure that the DockerHub-Push
stage executes whenever:
- All Image Build stages succeed &
- doBuild is true &
- The event is a PUSH
This behavior ensures that Docker images are published whenever the image build
stages succeed, regardless of any failures in the Image Test stages.
Jetson ARM64/V8 and AMD64 images will now be published on DockerHub under the
same tag (develop or WEEK_TAG) to provide multi-architecture images.
Optimization of PDSCH precoding operation
x86/aarch64 optimizations for precoding, more complete timing reporting in
nr_dlsim. Timing report in nr_dlsim now shows the total PDSCH generation time
and is broken down into Layer mapping, resource mapping and precoding.
The optimizations for x86 are basically reorganizing loops (for AVX512,AVX2,
NEON but not SSE2) to minimize repetitive instructions when formatting of the
precoder weights, and creation of inline functions for complex multiply-add.
AVX512 optimization was added. requiring AVX512BW. Detection of up to 4 PRBs
with common PMI for efficiency with AVX512 (was 2 in develop for AVX2).
For aarch64, native coding of the precoder to avoid inefficient SIMDe
translations for this operation.
nr_dlsim now uses default precoding indices depending on the scenario instead
of 0 which doesn't do precoding at all.
See merge request description for nr_dlsim test results.
- On PUSH events, if image build stages succeed, trigger DockerHub push stage
- Build the images, then trigger the Push to DockerHub stage
- Publish Jetson (ARM64/v8) and AMD64 images under the same tag on DockerHub

The next commit introduces an "UL-heavy" configuration to be tested with
Aerial. To avoid waiting for the CN, start&stop it once at the beginning
of the CI run.
Reduce throughput requirement, as this fails once two DUs are connected
to a UE, which creates more load on the machine and frequently fails
with low throughput.
CI: Enable Physim threshold check for tests on Caracal and GH
This MR adds support for configurable timing threshold files in PhySim
tests.
- Introduces a new CMake cache variable PHYSIM_CHECK_FILES to specify
one or more timing threshold files (semicolon-separated).
- Enables optional enforcement of timing thresholds check in PhySim
tests without changing existing test definitions.
- Defines timing thresholds for LDPC encoding/decoding in nr_ulsim,
nr_dlsim and ldpctest on Caracal and GH machines.
SRS noise power
This MR implements the calculation of the noise power based on SRS in a
different way, and check whether SNR is more accurate or not. This MR is
built on top of the MR: !3460
A graph was added in T_Tracer to observe UL-SNR calculated using SRS.
See merge request description for measurement results.
Replace the previous add_timed_physim_test() macro with add_physim_test()
to use a single, unified function for defining physim tests. This simplifies
the test configuration and removes redundant macro definitions while keeping
all existing functionality.
This change follows up on the earlier addition of support for including
custom timing threshold files (PHYSIM_CHECK_FILES).
Update existing tests accordingly.
Add missing timinig analysis scripts to RHEL9 physim docker image. These files
are now copied from the build stage to /oai-ran/openair1/SIMULATION/tests/,
where they are expected by ctest.
Resolves following issue when running ctest in docker container:
CMake Error: Error processing file: /oai-ran/openair1/SIMULATION/tests/RunTimedTest.cmake
For some physical simulators, we have multiple SNR iterations.
The previous version of the script correctly retained only the last
measurement, but if a previous measurement condition set RC=1, the
script would fail although the final "good" run might fulfil the
measurement condition (IOW, it would show SUCCESS, but still fail on the
check).
Instead, check if all measurement lines finish on SUCCESS, which handles
the above case.
The awk script in analyze-timing.sh used syntax that works with gawk but fails
on systems where mawk is the default implementation, producing errors such as:
awk: /dev/fd/3: line 6: syntax error at or near ,
-- test command finished with SIGPIPE
Concretely, the match(text, pattern, variable) function does not exist
in mawk, as it cannot capture matches in variables. Work around by
substituing strings, and force a numeric comparison.
Fixes to prevent assertion due to 0 PRB allocation
Assertion (NPRB>0 && (NPRB + RBstart <= BWPsize)) failed!
In PRBalloc_to_locationandbandwidth0() /home/user/openairinterface5g/common/utils/nr/nr_common.c:506
Illegal NPRB/RBstart Configuration (0,51) for BWPsize 51
Probably caused by missing safeguards to prevent computing TBS with 0 PRB
as input.
Fix OAI UE memory leaks
Fix 1: Replaced asn1cFreeStruc with ASN_STRUCT_FREE in MAC layer to properly
free nested ASN.1 structures in cell group configuration.
Fix 2: Removed premature nullification of dedicatedNAS_Message->buf in
dlInformationTransfer processing to allow proper ASN.1 cleanup.
Fix 3: Fixed memory ownership in nr_rrc_process_dedicatedNAS_MessageList by
copying OCTET_STRING data instead of transferring ownership, preventing
ASN.1 cleanup from losing track of allocated memory
Closes#828
fix RSRP computation at UE
Conflicts between !3595 (merged) and !3596 (merged) leading to double conversion
of RSRP into index in L1 and L2. With this fix it is only converted in L2.
Replace int16 min when obvious
INT16_MIN doesn't have a opposite value on 16 bits, so SIMD abs (absolute()), or
simple C operations doesn't make the expected result.
example:
(gdb) p (short)-(short)-32768
$4 = -32768
(gdb)
This MR replaces constants INT16_MIN by -INT16_MAX (so -32767) in places where
it used for mathematical operations. This is not perfect, nevertheless reduces
overflow probability.
We saw in some places a dirty case: code do first calls to _mm_adds_epi16
(or subs), so because of the saturated operations, the probability to reach
32767 and -32768 is higher than the other numbers but, _mm_abs_epi16(), or
negate operations (conjugate) can follow, that is making strong error as
abs(-32768)=-32768
Also, don't use "set -x" debugging for oc login command:
ci-scripts/cls_cmd.py:242 sets BASH_XTRACEFD=1, which makes that all
"set -x" output is in stdout, leading to a redirect to the file into
which we redirect. This would lead to the following error with
unsuccessfull oc login:
error: You are not a member of project "****-core-for-ci-ran".
Error from server (Forbidden): imagestreams.image.openshift.io "oai-physim"
is forbidden: User "system:anonymous" cannot get resource "imagestreams" in
API group "image.openshift.io" in the namespace "****-ran"
This fixes basically two problems. First, remove "set -e", which leads
to the script exiting on error. For instance, there was the sleep which
should account for the time of the pod being in "ContainerCreating", but
might not be enough. In that case, the script would exit, leaving the
pod deployed.
Second, a fixed time is not good, as it can be too short and unduly
prolong waiting time. Replace with a loop.
- Remove unnecessary NULL assignment for dedicatedNAS_Message->buf
- The original buffer is copied and transfered to NAS, so it can be properly freed by ASN.1 structure cleanup
Root cause: Code was nullifying dedicatedNAS_Message->buf pointer before ASN.1 cleanup could free the original allocation, causing the leak from OCTET_STRING_decode_uper.
AddressSanitizer leak trace (FIXED):
Direct leak of 119 byte(s) in 3 object(s) allocated from:
/#0 0x7ec2a42b4c38 in __interceptor_realloc
/#1 0x555fade852e0 in OCTET_STRING_decode_uper
/#9 0x555fadb48b11 in nr_rrc_ue_decode_dcch.
The leak was caused by improper memory ownership handling in the
dedicatedNAS_MessageList processing. The function was transferring
buffer ownership to NAS messages and then preventing ASN.1 cleanup
from freeing the original allocations by setting
list.count = 0, causing a memory leak.

This fixes the leak that occurred during rrcReconfiguration
message processing when dedicatedNAS_MessageList was present.
Closes#828
- Replace asn1cFreeStruc with ASN_STRUCT_FREE in MAC layer cleanup
- Fixes improper memory management of NR_CellGroupConfig structures
Root cause: asn1cFreeStruc only calls ASN_STRUCT_RESET + free(), which doesn't properly free nested ASN.1 allocations. ASN_STRUCT_FREE frees all nested structures completely.

pods deployed through helm occasionally take more time, leading to
errors such as
Error from server (BadRequest): container "physim" in pod "oai-physims-4g-sczvl" is waiting to start: ContainerCreating
Give a bit more time before checking the logs. We cannot wait too much,
as the container will just end on FINISHED in running state, so the logs
will always be there.
Make all targets compile
This MR enables us to compile all targets, and does that in one CI test. This
closes#726. Now, this should work:
cd ~/openairinterface5g
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -GNinja && ninja
To achieve this, I did the following:
- some targets have been fixed (warnings, errors)
- some targets have been removed when they did not seem to serve a good purpose
(e.g., an almost empty test)
- some targets have been commented (e.g., LTE simulators, some unitary tests)
which we maybe want to revive in the future
- some targets built when just building with ninja, but not all. For instance,
telnetsrv_enb would typically build, but it was missing a dependency. Doing
cmake .. -GNinja && ninja telnetsrv_enb would show this (in develop)
To help with the last bullet point, there is a script compile_targets.sh that
can compile targets independently (and in parallel, to not wait for ages) to
show that targets compile properly compile-targets.patch.
In almost all cases, the problem is that a specific module uses the logging
module, which depends on T, which needs to dynamically create headers. The way
to do this is to have a dependency, and many targets use generate_T or {T_LIB}
({} intentional: T might be absent, so then it evaluates to nothing). However,
not all do this, and those that depend on T actually don't depend on T, but on
the logging module, which in turn depends on T. So in many places, a simple
dependency onto log_headers fixes this problem, and generate_T or {T_LIB}
simplifies the dependency (but not always). The commits should have more info.
Note that at least the targets in FlexRIC do not all compile, at least in the
configuration that we use in docker/Dockerfile.build.ubuntu. So for the latter,
we cannot build with a simple ninja, but FlexRIC seems to be the only one that
does not compile. Since FlexRIC is a separate repository, that needs to be
addressed in the corresponding repository.
Previously, the script attempted to directly merge ${merge}, which could f
ail if the branch was not already available locally. This update explicitly
fetches the branch from origin and then merges FETCH_HEAD with --ff, ensuring
the merge works even when the branch is missing locally.
- Move 'What is a gNB neighbor?' explanation from rrc-usage.md to handover-tutorial.md where it belongs
- Replace generic parameter names with actual configuration parameter names and specific descriptions (e.g. gNB_ID, nr_cellid)
- Add example configuration structure showing proper syntax
- Add missing 'band' parameter that was not listed before
- Provide concrete examples and exact constraints for each parameter
- Cross-reference between documents for better organization
This addresses documentation issues where generic parameter descriptions were
not useful for developers configuring neighbor cells.
- Remove extensive traffic testing before HO (iperf tests 030001, 030002)
- Do 1 ping test after attachment
- Reduce ping packet count from 100 to 50 packets for remaining connectivity test
Time savings: ~2-3 minutes by removing traffic validation overhead
Split monolithic e1_send_bearer_updates into three focused functions:
- e1_send_bearer_updates(): DRB setup from F1 UE Context Modification Response
- e1_request_pdcp_status(): Request PDCP status during inter-CU handover
- e1_notify_pdcp_status(): Notify CU-UP with PDCP status during handover
Extract common helpers:
- append_e1_drb_mod_req(): Common DRB-to-mod for bearer request logic
- e1_send_bearer_modification_request(): Common sending step
Bug fixes:
- Fix loop bounds (i < n instead of i == n)
- Fix array access bounds checking
- Fix DRB ID consistency
Memory management:
- Add missing free_e1ap_context_mod_request calls
- Improve error handling with early returns
In the process:
- Simplify cuup_notify_reestablishment with FOR_EACH_SEQ_ARR loop
- Adopted all callers to use new consolidated functions
Improves maintainability and eliminates complex conditional logic.
Replace field-by-field assignment with struct copy for plmn_identity.
Both source and destination use identical plmn_id_t type, making
this change safe and more maintainable.
- Reduces lines of code
- More readable and less error-prone
- Single memory copy operation instead of multiple field assignments
- ngap_gNB_handover_notify: Fix misleading error message from 'Failed to encode'
to 'Failed to find UE context' for better clarity
- ngap_gNB_handle_ul_ran_status_transfer: Standardize error message format
from 'Could not find' to 'Failed to find' for consistency across functions
This ensures consistent and accurate error reporting across all NGAP handover functions.
- Update encoder functions in ngap_gNB_mobility_management.c to use calloc_or_fail
- Provides zero-initialized memory and consistent error handling
- Prevents uninitialized fields and improves memory safety
Also:
- Update NG Setup Request to use calloc_or_fail
- Replace inefficient 'allocate, extract, free' pattern with direct value extraction
- Remove unused functions get_gap_config_from_smtc() and get_gap_config()
- Add extract_gap_config_from_smtc() that extracts values directly without allocation
- Eliminates use-after-free risk and improves performance
- No allocation overhead, no memory leaks
- Add missing ASN_STRUCT_FREE for NR_MeasGapConfig in create_measgap_config
- Fix 48-byte measurement gap config leak in get_gap_config_from_smtc

Root cause: Handover context allocated in N2 handover source gNB trigger path (nr_rrc_trigger_n2_ho)
for any successful N2 handover but not properly freed in all handover completion scenarios.
The UE context release complete handler was missing cleanup for handover context.
Solution: refactor handover context cleanup
- Move nr_rrc_finalize_ho() call to rrc_delete_ue_data() for centralized cleanup
- Remove redundant nr_rrc_finalize_ho() calls from handover failure paths:
* rrc_CU_process_ue_context_release_request() - UE not deleted yet
* invalidate_du_connections() - UE will be deleted later
- Keep nr_rrc_finalize_ho() calls in handover success paths where UE continues operating
- Ensures handover context is cleaned up exactly once when UE is actually deleted
- Prevents potential double-free and use-after-free issues in handover cleanup
This centralizes all UE data cleanup in rrc_delete_ue_data() and ensures
handover context is properly managed throughout the UE lifecycle and cleaned up
when UE delete happens.

Root cause: ue_context_setup_request allocated NR_MeasurementTimingConfiguration via
get_nr_mtc() but never freed it after creating the measurement gap configuration.
The create_measgap_config function only reads from the structure and doesn't take
ownership, so the caller must free it.

- Add early check for existing UE context by AMF UE NGAP ID at beginning of rrc_gNB_process_Handover_Request
- Add dedicated function to get UE context by AMF UE NGAP ID: rrc_gNB_get_ue_context_by_amf_ue_ngap_id()
- Send handover failure with appropriate cause if UE context already exists
- Remove redundant ho_context NULL check that could never be true for newly created UE contexts
- Prevents duplicate handover processing and resource leaks
Move UE context creation and storage to after successful PDU encoding
to prevent memory leaks if encoding fails. Also add proper PDU cleanup
when AMF fetch fails and use consistent NULL check style.
This ensures UE context is only stored when the operation is guaranteed
to succeed, improving error handling and memory management.
In the current memory management the caller wasn't responsible for freeing
memory they allocate. The ngap_gNB_encode_pdu function was taking ownership
of PDU contents by calling ASN_STRUCT_FREE_CONTENTS_ONLY, while callers
also expected to manage the same memory. This created unclear ownership semantics and
potential double-free bugs.
- Remove ASN_STRUCT_FREE_CONTENTS_ONLY from ngap_gNB_encode_pdu to prevent double-free
- Remove unnecessary ASN_STRUCT_FREE when encode function returns NULL
- Add proper ASN_STRUCT_FREE cleanup for heap-allocated PDUs in ngap_gNB.c functions
- Add ASN_STRUCT_FREE_CONTENTS_ONLY cleanup for stack-allocated PDUs in NAS and context management functions
- Ensure consistent memory cleanup patterns across all NGAP encoder callers
- Fix potential memory leaks in all ngap_gNB_encode_pdu call sites
This prevents double-free bugs and ensures proper cleanup of ASN.1 structures
in both heap and stack allocation scenarios.
Add check for cu_exists_f1_ue_data() before calling cu_get_f1_ue_data()
to prevent assertion failure when telnet command 'ci fetch_du_by_ue_id'
is used for UEs that have been handed over via N2 (and no longer have
F1 UE data).
This fixes the crash:
Assertion (ret == HASH_TABLE_OK && data != ((void *)0)) failed!
In get_hashtable_data() /oai-ran/openair2/F1AP/f1ap_ids.c:36
element for ue_id 1 not found
The function now returns NULL gracefully when F1 UE data is not available.

- Add proper cleanup of allocated ASN.1 structures in all return paths
- Fix early returns that were leaking NR_HandoverPreparationInformation
- Fix early returns that were leaking NR_RRCReconfiguration
- Add cleanup at end of successful function execution
This prevents memory leaks when processing handover preparation information
during N2 handover procedures.
- Add UE context cleanup before sending handover failure message
- Prevents memory/resource leak when PDU session establishment fails during handover
- UE context was created but never cleaned up on failure path
This fixes a bug where UE contexts would accumulate over time
when handovers failed after context creation.
Since there is no UCI on PUSCH implementation in gNB, it is good to test
UE's implementation with matlab.
This commit allows to test with matlab in two ways:
1. generate OFDM waveform from ulsim and decode it in matlab using
uci_on_pusch_decode.m
2. generate codeword in matlab using uci_on_pusch_encode.m read it in
ulsim and compare the bits. ulsim option -o is used
When the codeword has UCI multiplexed with data, we need to handle UCI scrambling according to 38.211 section 6.3.1.1.
Especially when O_ACK <= 2 there are x and y placeholder bits for UCI.
Get beta offset, alpha scaling and other parameters to calculate rate matching information for UCI on PUSCH,
then use the rate matching info to encode UCI and re-encode PUSCH, call nr_uci_on_pusch to get final multiplexed codeword for scrambling.
NR UE: remove function get_nr_RSRP() and get_nr_rx_total_gain_dB() for cleanup
The function get_nr_RSRP() and get_nr_rx_total_gain_dB() are not used anywhere

CI: Updates for HO and AW2S pipeline
This MR introduces several CI updates:
- Change center frequency from 3439 MHz (n78) to 4185 MHz (n77) in HO setup to
prevent interference with other lab setups.
- Enable attaching multiple AmariUEs simultaneously in the AW2S pipeline - save
~25s.
- Update RX gain configuration on AmariUE - improve DL throughput.
BWP with no PRACH occasions
This MR includes fixes at gNB and UE in case the current BWP has no PRACH
occasions, i.e. we need to switch to initial BWP.

These libraries depend on the logging module, so add the right
dependency log_headers. Indirectly, this will fulfill the condition of
T. I consider the prior usage of generate_T or {T_LIB} incorrect,
because basically none of these libraries actually, actively use T, but
rather only the logging module, which pulls in T. The dependency of
log_headers will also take care of generating and including T headers,
which is a dependency of the logging module.
For conf2uedata and related, fulfill the dependency
through conf2uedata_lib (on which the rest depends).
These libraries have no dependencies on UTIL, so it's better to omit it.
However, then the test is missing symbols for the config (which likely,
indirectly came through UTIL -> LOG -> CONFIG_LIB, so add it now onto
the test.
These libraries have an (indirect) dependency on T, either by using the
logging module (which in turn depends on T), or through other includes.
The easiest is to depend on the logging module, which will fulfil also
the T dependency.
It would equally be feasible to use the utils target (which in turn
depends on log_headers), but this would necessitate to compile, and does
not seem to be necessary.
Since E2 agent uses the config library, include it directly. This also
makes the dependency on T obsolete, because
- it is the logging headers that are needed, and
- the T dependency is fulfilled through the log_headers.
It seems that many compilation units include T.h through the config
module (as evidenced when taking out T.h from
config_load_configmodule.h). This is strange, because T.h is only used
in the logging headers. Hence, move it to there, where it is used.
coding_defs.h included defs_common.h, which pulls in many dependencies,
e.g., the logging module, which pulls in T. However, it does not use
anything of this. So remove, and include stdbool.h instead (because bool
is used in coding_defs.h.
nr_polar_defs.h relied on some includes done in coding_defs. Use
includes for pthreads and SIMD to define types that are used in
nr_polar_defs.h.
We don't use JER. This avoids compilation problems, such as:
/usr/bin/ld: openair3/NRPPA/MESSAGES/libasn1_nrppa.a(INTEGER_jer.c.o): in function `INTEGER_decode_jer':
tmp.MtrwVDhQqY/openair3/NRPPA/MESSAGES/INTEGER_jer.c:186:(.text+0x5b8): undefined reference to `jer_decode_primitive
XNAP is asn1c compiled with -no-gen-BER. Correspondingly, no
ber_decoder.h file is created. However, when running cmake followed by
ninja, it notices the absence of this file:
ninja explain: output openair2/XNAP/MESSAGES/ber_decoder.h doesn't exist
which triggers a complete rebuild of XNAP ASN.1. Without this file, the
targets are not marked as dirty.
This constant seems to be an analogon to NUMBER_OF_UE_MAX; replace with
the latter, as it does the same. (NBIoT does not work, anyway)
Fix dependencies of the NB_IoT target so it compiles.
Remove, because
1) it does not compile (the asn1c generated code should be prepend with
LTE_ etc, nobody did that)
2) a shared module makes no sense
3) the configuration is trivial to recreate
Link E2_AGENT libraries directly into nr-softmodem/lte-softmodem instead
of L2/L2_NR/F1AP. Doing that ensures that simulators, e.g.,
nr_dlsim/nr_ulsim do still compile. It also simplifies the code.
Prior to this, compiling nr_ulsim with E2_AGENT, for instance, resulted
in the following errors, fixed in this commit:

according to TS 38.212 section 6.3.2.4 and 6.2.7.
38.212 section 5.3.3.1 and 5.3.3.2 describe how to encode 1-bit and 2-bit information.
This is needed when typically HARQ-ACK will be transmitted on PUSCH.

- Replace error handling for impossible ID mismatches with DevAssert statements
- If ngap_get_ue_context() succeeds, returned context must have matching NGAP gNB UE IDs by definition
- This catches potential bugs in the lookup function immediately
- Affects: handover_required, handover_notify, handover_cancel, ul_ran_status_transfer
These checks were logically impossible since we looked up the context using
the same IDs we were then checking for mismatch.
- Fixed incorrect log messages that said 'PCI=%lu' when printing nr_cell_id
- Now prints both NR Cell ID and PCI when DU is found
- Provides better debugging information for handover requests
- Add _E1_EQ_CHECK_OPTIONAL_PTR checks for pdcp_config, sdap_config, UP_TL_information, and securityIndication
- Fix bug in eq_pdu_session_to_mod_item where a->UP_TL_information was compared with itself instead of b->UP_TL_information
- Fix eq_security_ind call to properly handle return value with early return pattern
- Improve consistency with existing macro usage patterns in the codebase
- Provide better error reporting for optional pointer field mismatches
Replace result &= pattern with consistent early return pattern:
- Fix mixing of logical (&&) and binary (&) operators
- Use consistent 'if (!eq_()) return false;' pattern throughout
- Fix bug in eq_bearer_context_mod_response where drbModA was compared with itself
- Remove unused 'bool result = true;' variables
- Always return true at the end of equality functions
This makes the code more consistent with the rest of the codebase
and provides better error reporting through the existing _E1_EQ_CHECK macros.

Improvements to RRC PDU session and DRB handling logic
This merge request introduces a major simplification and cleanup of the gNB RRC
PDU Sessions and DRBs handling logic. The core goals of this work are to:
- Replace fixed-size PDU Session, DRBs and QoS arrays with dynamic containers
- Simplify and modularize helper functions for session/DRB management
- Prepare for further refactoring of the PDU Session state machine
- Improve code safety and maintainability through better bounds checking
common/utils/threadPool/measurement_display.c:55:14 warning: format ‘%lu’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘long long unsigned int’ [-Wformat=]
- Replace simple counter-based DRB ID assignment with actual DRB ID lookup
- Add nested loop to iterate through DRBs for each PDU session to be release
- Improve logic flow with early continue for non-matching PDU sessions
This ensures DRB release list contains correct DRB IDs that correspond to actual DRB entities
* There is no IE corresponding to PDU sessions failed to release
in the PDU SESSION RESOURCE RELEASE RESPONSE message. This was removed
and the corresponding code was refactored and cleaned up.
* In the Release Command handler, only established PDU Session are set to be
released. The Response message is filled accordingly.
Motivation:
The previous architecture had several issues:
- Duplicate DRB generation logic in generateDRB() and generateDRB_ASN1()
- Embedded SDAP/PDCP configs in drb_t created tight coupling
- No clear separation between RRC internal state and ASN.1 encoding
- Maintenance burden due to duplicated configuration logic
New Architecture:
- drb_t now only stores DRB-specific data (ID, PDU session ID, PDCP config)
- SDAP configuration moved to PDU session level (following PDCP design pattern)
- ASN.1 encoding helpers (nr_rrc_build_*_config_ie()) handle conversion
- Single source of truth for DRB creation in RRC via nr_rrc_add_drb()
Key changes:
- Store nr_sdap_configuration_t per PDU session
- Simplified drb_t structure: removed embedded SDAP/PDCP configs, added pdusession_id
- New helper: nr_rrc_build_sdap_config_ie()
- Updated createDRBlist() to use new helper functions and proper DRB ID lookup
- Refactored trigger_bearer_setup() to use nr_rrc_add_drb() and fill_e1_drb_to_setup()
- Removed generateDRB() and generateDRB_ASN1() functions
- Updated set_bearer_context_pdcp_config() to return config by value
- Added SDAP configuration header file for type definitions
This eliminates code duplication, improves maintainability, and creates
a cleaner separation between RRC state management and ASN.1 encoding.
- Move QoS-related enums and structures from ngap_messages_types.h to 5g_platform_types.h
- Replace ngap_* QoS types with generic qos_* types for better reusability
- Update field names from allocation_retention_priority to arp for consistency
- Update all references across RRC and NGAP modules to use new type names
- Remove duplicate QoS type definitions from NGAP-specific header
This improves code organization by centralizing QoS parameter definitions
in a common platform types header and eliminates NGAP-specific naming
in favor of more generic, reusable type definitions.
The maximum number of QoS flows is 64.
- Replace QOSFLOW_MAX_VALUE with MAX_QOS_FLOWS constant
- Move MAX_QOS_FLOWS definition to common/platform_constants.h
- Remove duplicate QOSFLOW_MAX_VALUE definition from ngap_messages_types.h
This improves maintainability by centralizing the QoS flow limit constant
and eliminates duplicate definitions across different header files.
- Limit scope of get_default_rbconfig function: from asn1_msg.c/.h to rrc_gNB_nsa.c where it's used
- Create new rrc_gNB_asn1.c/h files for ASN.1 utility functions: they can be used in other RRC files
- Add nr_rrc_build_pdcp_config_ie function for building PDCP configuration IEs
- Update get_default_rbconfig to use the new PDCP config builder
- Add rrc_gNB_asn1.c to CMakeLists.txt build configuration
The previous DRB management relied on a fixed-size array (established_drbs[MAX_DRBS_PER_UE])
and manual status tracking using DRB_ACTIVE/INACTIVE flags. This approach was inefficient,
and made assumptions about DRB ID allocation that do not generalize well
to dynamic procedures like bearer modification or removal.
* Replace fixed-size array established_drbs[] with dynamic
seq_arr_t *drbs in gNB_RRC_UE_t
* Refactor get_drb() and added nr_rrc_add_drb() with clean abstractions
using find and seq_arr lib
* Updated all DRB-related logic (e.g., generateDRB,
F1AP/E1AP tunnel config, reestablishment, mobility) to use seq_arr.
* Removed status field and DRB_ACTIVE/INACTIVE logic: list presence implies active
* DRB ID allocation now tracked via seq_arr size : simplifies DRB management and
avoids DRB ID–indexed assumptions: code assumed DRB IDs mapped directly to
array indices: established_drbs[drb_id - 1]. This could break when:
DRB IDs are not sequential, DRBs are removed and re-added, or there are gaps in IDs
The RRC PDU Session struct is converted from a fixed-size array
to a dynamically sized seq_arr. This improves flexibility and
simplifies session management by eliminating arbitrary size limits
and enabling dynamic addition/removal of PDU sessions.
Helper functions and loops have been adapted to use the seq_arr API.
This change is a step toward more robust and maintainable handling
of PDU sessions in the gNB RRC layer.
The "status" state machine remains untouched in this commit and
is refactored in a later commit.
Also:
* add macro to push to seq_arr and return the new element
* move initialization of xid (RRC PDU Session struct) to
find_pduSession (temporary, will be finalized in a later
commit) since with the new seq_arr design the initialization
is no longer possible in the UE context generation (also
does not belong to it, initialize when adding a new PDU Session)
The function was printing a "not found" error message even in the case
the return value was set to "true". Return directly true/false.
This is relevant in PDU Session Release procedures.
- Process all PDU sessions in handover request instead of only the first one
- Add DevAssert for bounds checking on nb_of_pdusessions
- Fix logic error where multiple PDU sessions were ignored in handover scenarios
Previously, the RRC layer was incorrectly allocating stack memory for the ho_required_transfer field and passing it to NGAP, however it was not used. The IE is mandatory but contains only 1 optional IE, therefore is encoded in the NG message with empty content.
Changes:
- Remove unnecessary ho_required_transfer field from pdusession_resource_t definition, the IE is encoded anyway with empty content. If Direct Forwarding Path Availability is needed at any stage in the future it can be added to pdusession_resource_t and filled in RRC.
- Add clarifying comment about empty HandoverRequiredTransfer structure
NR UE: in nr_ue_scheduler.c set LCID_buffer_remain to 0 if RLC indicates not
more bytes in buffer
If the RLC indicates that there is no more data in the buffer, also the
scheduler's LCID_buffer_remain should be set to 0. Else the UE sends BSR
indicating it has data to be transmitted. The gNB would then unnecessarily
schedule UL for this UE, which would not be used, as there is no actual data
to be transmitted.

Extend t300 to 1000 to increase the time the gNB has to handle MSG3. Hopefully
this prevents the UEs from timing out after MSG3. Add UE id to timer timeout
LOGs so the UE behavior can be traced through the stack.
Code cleanup (SRS, config files and more)
- Remove deprecated elements from some configuration files (also closes#997)
- Improve SRS code with a better separation between common code and gNB/UE code
- Other minor compilation improvements
Implementing the option to have more than 1 RSRP in CSI report
In collaboration with NI/Emerson.
The standard allows up to 4 RSRP measurements in CSI report (1 full and the other
differential). In current OAI, we just configure 1 RSRP report for the strongest
SSB. This MR allows to configure at gNB more than 1 RSRP report (depending on
config file, number of SSBs and UE capabilities) and makes changes at the UE to
send this report.
replace bad DCI by specific message for each case and add checks for bad...
Replace bad DCI by specific message for each case and add checks for bad
pointers, or sanitize detected warnings. Then fix several issues in DCI
decoding. With this MR, LTE UE has less bad DCI, and each bad DCI has a
reason better diagnosis.
If the RLC indicates that there is no more data in the buffer, also the scheduler's
LCID_buffer_remain should be set to 0. Else the UE sends BSR indicating it has data
to be transmitted. The gNB would then unnecessarily schedule UL for this UE, which
would not be used, as there is no actual data to be transmitted.
Correctly handle unpacking of the first RSRP report and its resource ID before processing additional reports.
Use the initial RSRP value as the reference for differential RSRP calculations in subsequent reports.
N2 handover
This MR introduces full support for N2 handover, covering handover
decision, preparation, execution, and notification between source and
target NG-RAN nodes.
Key features:
1. Handover Decision & Preparation:
- Implement N2 handover decision based on UE measurement reports.
- Generate the Handover Preparation Information message, including
RRCReconfiguration.
- Send Handover Required message from the source NG-RAN to the AMF.
2. Handover Execution:
- Decode and handle the Handover Request on the target NG-RAN.
- Process the Handover Command on the source gNB, triggering
RRCReconfiguration.
- Initiate Handover Notify after successful completion.
3 NGAP & RRC Enhancements:
- Implement NGAP encoding/decoding functions for Handover Required,
Handover Request, Handover Command, Handover Failure, and Handover
Notify (3GPP TS 38.413).
- Adds NG-RAN Status Transfer support (UL/DL) for PDCP COUNT
preservation during mobility:
- support for NGAP Uplink and Downlink RAN Status Transfer messages
(TS 38.413 §9.2.3.13-14) to enable proper PDCP COUNT value
transfer during handover or recovery: NGAP encoding/decoding for
RAN Status Transfer, PDCP helpers to extract and apply COUNT (HFN
+ SN) per DRB. This aligns with TS 38.300 §9.2.3.2.1 and TS 23.502
§4.9.1.3.3, ensuring PDCP status preservation in AM.
4. Testing:
- Introduce a Telnet command to manually trigger N2 handover using UE
ID and neighbor PCI.
- Add configuration file for testing N2 handover with a target gNB.
CI: build images on Jetson (armv8)
Add a new build pipeline for NVIDIA Jetson (armv8). Images have tag
prefix armv8_ to distinguish from gracehopper-built images prefixed arm_
(should have maybe been better with armv9_?)
This commit completes the NGAP Mobility Management procedure for N2 handover.
Upon failure on source gNB the Handover Cancel message is sent to the AMF which
in return responds with an ack.
Upon reception of NG RAN Status at the target CU-CP, send PDCP Status
via E1 Bearer Context Modification to the target CU-UP and update PDCP Count
upon reception of the message.
For the sake of simplicity, re-used and extended legacy e1_send_bearer_updates.
Further refactoring is not addressed in this commit.
Once fetched the PDCP Status from the PDCP entity over E1, the CU-CP triggers
the NG RAN Status Transfer procedure to transfer the PDCP Status to the target
CU.
This commit is also introducing the RRC callback.
* Check presence of PDCP Status Requested in Bearer Context Modification Request
* Fetch PDCP Status from PDCP entity and fill in the Bearer Context Modification Response
The E1 Bearer Context Modification Request shall send a PDCP Status Request IE
during handover, e.g. the HO context is set to source, and it is not target, i.e.
only in N2 not in F1.
The current function "e1_send_bearer_updates" used to fill the E1 Request has been
refactored only for the sake of this commit and to avoid duplicated and redundant code.
The function itself deeper analysis and eventually a refactoring that will not be addressed
in this commit.
* Introduced nr_pdcp_count_update() to apply COUNT values to the PDCP entity:
- Computes tx_next, rx_next, and rx_deliv from HFN+SN
- Handles both 12-bit and 18-bit SN modes with dynamic bitmask
* Introduced nr_pdcp_get_drb_count_values() to extract PDCP COUNT values from entity:
- Used for building UL RAN Status Transfer on source CU side
According to 4.9.1.3.3 of 3GPP TS 23.502:
> 2a. - 2c. The S-RAN sends the Uplink RAN Status Transfer message to the S-AMF,
> as specified in TS 36.300 [46] and TS 38.300 [9]. The S-RAN may omit sending
> this message if none of the radio bearers of the UE shall be treated with PDCP status preservation.
TS 38.300 says:
> For DRBs not configured with DAPS, the source gNB sends the SN STATUS TRANSFER message to the target
> gNB to convey the uplink PDCP SN receiver status and the downlink PDCP SN transmitter status of DRBs for
> which PDCP status preservation applies (i.e. for RLC AM). The uplink PDCP SN receiver status includes at
> least the PDCP SN of the first missing UL PDCP SDU and may include a bit map of the receive status of the out
> of sequence UL PDCP SDUs that the UE needs to retransmit in the target cell, if any. The downlink PDCP SN
> transmitter status indicates the next PDCP SN that the target gNB shall assign to new PDCP SDUs, not having a
> PDCP SN yet.
i.e., for DRBs for which PDCP status preservation applies (i.e. for RLC AM), which is is our case.
This commit introduces full support for NG-RAN Status Transfer message handling
(TS 38.413 §9.2.3.13-14) in CU. It enables correct state transfer of PDCP COUNT
values (SN + HFN) during mobility or recovery scenarios.
Summary of changes - NGAP:
* Added encoding/decoding support for UL/DL RAN Status Transfer message
* Defined structures for: ngap_drb_count_value_t, ngap_drb_status_t,
ngap_ran_status_container_t, ngap_ran_status_transfer_t
The pipeline is using the already existing conf files
for the source/target gNB CUs/DUs.
For the sake of simplicity, neighbour-config.conf has
been rewritten and simplified in this commit, then
adopted in this pipeline. The file was not used before.
* the command gets in input the neighbour PCI and the UE ID
* the telnet ci function to retrieve the UE context was extended in the process
* add function to trigger handover on the same gNB for testing purposes

* trigger upon reception of MasterKeyUpdate
* derive NH, store NH NCC and valid NH key in RRC
* masterKeyUpdate: derive enc/int keys after master key update
and set PDCP security for SRB1
* call nr_rrc_process_reconfiguration_v1530 before nr_rrc_ue_process_RadioBearerConfig
and move dedicatedNAS_MessageList processing at the end of the flow. The sequence
shall be (1) keys/security update (2) radioBearerConfig processing, with PDCP entity
creation, PDCP reestablishment, SDAP entity creation (3) NAS PDUs processing, which
triggers PDU Session Establishment Accept, which sets up the TUN interface.
SDAP entity is a pre-requisite, therefore the radioBearerConfig has to be processed
(in nr_rrc_ue_process_RadioBearerConfig, add_drb) early enough, or it may cause a
race condition in SDAP.
* add trigger function to (1) add the callbacks and (2) initiate
handover on the target NG-RAN
* add handover failure callback on target NG-RAN: the Handover
Failure is a procedure that belongs to the target NG-RAN and
it is different from the Handover Cancel procedure

During the N2 HO review has been found that the HO context
was not allocated at trigger time but later in the flow. This
might lead to issues in some scenarios (e.g. in N2 HO)
and it was fixed in this commit.
Introduce a new timer for the use case where a UE should not be
scheduled anymore after a certain time. This is the case, for instance,
during handover, where the "source DU" forwards the RRCReconfiguration
and should stop scheduling this UE after some time.
Originally, transm_interrupt was introduced in 5c6d90aaff ("Use
NR_timer_t for UE transmission interrupt, e.g., RRC processing") to stop
scheduling a UE.
Commit 004403c84d ("Implement F1 UE Ctxt Modif Transmission Action
Indicator") reused this timer in an attempt to save code with an
"interrupt follow action".
In commit 89ebbb4192 ("Do not trigger ul failure in measgap scheduling
and standardize the verification if MAC is active in other scheduling
functions"), the transm_interrupt timer is used to not schedule a UE
through function nr_mac_ue_is_active(). This led to the UE not being
forwarded the RRCReconfiguration, effectively breaking handover, as the
message never reaches the UE. By using a new timer, the intended
functionality is restored.
Fixes: 89ebbb4192 ("Do not trigger ul failure in measgap scheduling
and standardize the verification if MAC is active in other
scheduling functions")
Remove this flag, as it is not used as of this commit, and introduces
confusion (see next commit: we reused the trans_interrupt timer for
the transmission action indicator stop action, where the UE should stay
active, while it is *not* when transm_interrupt is active).
For clarity, rename to native_armv9 for clarity. The check inside Python
checked for native_arm, and if we introduce native_armv8 (for jetson),
it would also match that.
Add nr-cuup to run_locally.sh
E1 deploy wasn't enable in the run_locally.sh script to run the CI on a local
machine. This MR is adding it. It was validated locally.
Fix UE DCI monitoring after RRC setup
After the UE is configured with pdcch-Config, it continues to monitor
fallback search spaces in pdcch-ConfigCommon for DCI with C-RNTI.
The rational is that after sending RRC Setup the network won't know if
the UE has received and successfully applied it. Hence the network would
still continue to use the fallback DCI till it receives RRC setup
complete.
Closes#954
Fix memory allocation issue in KPM RAN function sd parameter handling
This fixes a segmentation fault in the gNB when a KPM xApp sends the sd
parameter in the subscription message.
The segmentation fault seems to occur because *sd is uninitialized when
malloc(**sd) is called. This causes a double dereference of an uninitialized
pointer - **sd reads a random memory value which becomes the size parameter
for malloc(), leading to unpredictable memory allocation and segfaults.
This fix allocates the size using malloc(sizeof(uint32_t)) instead of
dereferencing the uninitialized pointer.
After the UE is configured with pdcch-Config, it continues to monitor
fallback search spaces in pdcch-ConfigCommon for DCI with C-RNTI.
The rational is that after sending RRC Setup the network won't know if
the UE has received and successfully applied it. Hence the network would
still continue to use the fallback DCI till it receives RRC setup
complete.
Fix an issue in which the unpacking is erroneously deemed unsuccessful even though it succeed in pulling all the bytes, this was due to not properly handling the return value of pull16 which is either 0 or 2, not 0 or 1.
Check the results of push and pull operation with correct boolean operator.
During the review of the N2 HO MR it has been found that the wrong type
plmn_identity_t (S1AP) was used in RRC. Now updated to the platform type plmn_id_t.
The malloced struct is initialized to garbage and when
the IE is absent, the output "PDCP reestablishment"
member (allocated in the stack) is set to a random value.

CI: Generalize PhySim tests, run PhySims on Gracehopper
This changeset generalizes/harmonizes the CI infrastructure for physim
testing, and adds a new pipeline for physim tests on Gracehopper
machines.
Specifically:
- Refactor the existing CI code for running and analyzing physical
simulators. The existing code assumed those tests are deployed using
OpenShift. Instead, OpenShift/Helm-specificities (e.g., running a
"release") have been removed, and instead of hardcoding the deployment
of the physical simulators using a script for Helm, the function takes
any script that can deploy using Helm/docker/from source. The overall
appearance is the same.
- Add a new pipeline RAN-PhySim-GraceHopper-5G that executes physical
simulators on gracehopper. Reporting is done in the same way as for
existing physical simulators (e.g., like in the RAN-PhySim-Cluster-5G
pipeline), but deployed in docker instead of helm.
-> some tests don't work reliably on ARM yet and are skipped
- the RAN-gNB-N300-Timing-Phytest-LDPC pipeline has been reworked to use
the same code for testing T2 offload, with ctest, and the same
reporting.
- the CUDA LDPC test XML has been removed, as these tests don't work
reliably.
- add a new macro add_timed_physim_test() that allows to define
thresholds to be checked, so that ctest will check for them. see the
documentation for more information
CI: Creation of F1 Handover pipeline
In this MR we are modifying/adding all the required files (.xml, .conf,
.yml) in order to create a pipeline on Jenkins that allows us to test
OTA F1 handover.
Remove the runtime, which is not interesting, and add instead
- test name and if the test failed
- the threshold checks, if any, and
- possible additional information about test failures.
Prior to this change, each test would have, as label, it's description.
This leads to many labels, which are normally reserved for grouping
tests. Move the description into a custom property instead.
Since we rely on the JSON output for the generation of HTML reports, we
need to also extract the description from the generated JSON. However,
custom properties are only logged starting from cmake 3.30. For
back-wards compatibility, write an additional, separate environment
variable TEST_DESCRIPTION from which the description can be read as a
fallback.
For the add_timed_physim_test(), this has been already done in a parent
commit.
The unit tests have been imported with this command:
xmlstarlet sel -t
-m '//testCaseList/testCase[class="Run_Physim"]' \
-v "concat('add_timed_physim_test(physim.5g-offload.',physim_test,'.testX.Y \"',desc,'\" ',physim_test,' ',physim_run_args,')')" \
-n t2_offload_enc_nr_dlsim.xml t2_offload_dec_nr_ulsim.xml >> ../../openair1/SIMULATION/tests/CMakeLists.txt
The next commit will further cleanup this output. I commit it like this
for verification purposes.
Add two new macros that allow to register physim tests for ctest,
including timing thresholds that should be fulfilled.
First, add_timed_physim_test() registers a new test using a helper
script RunTimedTest.cmake. This is because after test execution, we need
to analyze logs, and the recommended way to do multiple steps in one
test is via a helper cmake script:
https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake-developers/2016-February/027816.html
Second, check_physim_threshold() adds new thresholds. It takes a text to
be parsed, and a condition (e.g., "< 20") to check for the number
following the threshold (which is assumed to be present right after the
threshold). It uses a test property to count the total number of checks
(limiting them to 10), and sets environment variables for the script. I
initially planned to use a test property for checks, but those are only
valid in the same directory, and RunTimedTest.cmake seems to be assumed
by cmake to be "elsewhere", hence I needed to resort to environment
variables.
RunTimedTest.cmake is called through cmake with the test parameters and
checks. It re-constructs a list of checks [1], runs the test, and pipes
the log into a separate script that is passed all checks (see below).
Afterwards, it verifies that both the test and script passed.
A script analyze-timing.sh builds an awk script from the checks passed.
The script analyzes each line of the test output for the threshold, and
compares against the threshold. analyze-timing.sh returns success if all
checks passed.
[1] I did not manage to pass a "list" of checks in a single environment
variable through the check_physim_threshold(), which would be simpler.
Change signature of the macro to take the full test name, a separate
description (previously called a label?), and the executable and test
invocation. The overall signature becomes easier.
The rational for the full test name is that a later commit will
introduce the possibility to define physim tests that are checked for
specific times, in which case we need to reuse the test name. Thus,
using the full name from the beginning leads to more clarity, even
though they are a bit longer.
Add an additional safety check that the given simulator is actually a
target defined within the project (in other words, it actually exists).
Update the documentation correspondingly.
Most (but not all) physical simulators are defined under
openair1/SIMULATION/. Defining physical simulators below there seems to
be the more "obvious" directory anyway, as the physical simulators are
openair1/SIMULATION/tests
Phy(L1) Sim tests => PhySim (tests)
Refactor measConfig
- Refactor and minor improvements in get_MeasConfig function;
- Add support for band in neighbourConfiguration (It is currently
possible to handover cells with different frequencies, as long as they
are in the same band, but this MR allows the handover to also be done
between cells in different bands).
Reworking BWP configuration
This MR reworks the configuration via fail of additional BWPs. Moreover, it
allows for a single BWP to be configured for a given UE at a given time (BWP
switch possible only via reconfiguration). It also reworks PTRS configuration
for consistency with the BWP one.
Fixes and updates for UL scheduling, notably DSUUU
Fix a number of problems that stem from !3521, notably regarding Msg3
scheduling, retransmissions in "UL-heavy" TDD scenarios, and BSR
handling. Modify a CI test to run a UL-heavy TDD scenario, and add
documentation for UL-heavy TDD scenarios.
The parameter is either set to 10 (the default, so not necessary), or to
0 forcing the gNB to schedule the UE all the time, which is only
necessary in specific scenario, and here simply wrong.
In high throughput UL scenarios, at least with our configuration, the UE
only sends Short BSR. The maximum is 300000 bytes, which is completely
"scheduled away" after a couple of UL grants. Increase the periodic BSR
to 5ms to get more BSR, which results in higher UL throughput.
On BSR reception, reset sched_ul_bytes. This change means that we assume
that no data is "in flight" for this UE at time of BSR reception, or,
put differently, that we overestimate the buffer size at UE (in the
worst case).
To illustrate this, consider the following traces before/after this
change.
Before this change: Upon BSR reception, the estimated BSR of the UE is
reset, but the gNB still accounts for data "in flight". It is visible
that the calculated buffer size (estimated - scheduled) quickly goes to
zero, and we don't use all resources, despite the buffer still being
full. The maximum application throughput in this run was ~220Mbps.

After this change: The gNB resets the number of bytes "in flight"
(sched). Thus, the calculated buffer is larger, and does not "run out"
before a new BSR arrives (which still indicates the maximum). The UE is
thus allocated all resources, but we might overestimate some resources.
The maximum application throughput in this run was ~300Mbps, limited by
MCS and not by estimated buffer size as in the previous case.

Revert "Removed TRP-scheme byte from UL BF PDU to Interop with Aerial 25-1 (FAPI 10.02)"
This commit broke compatibility with Aerial when compiled with
-DSCF_FAPI_10_04_SRS=ON. It was decided that this should become the
default.
Modify documentation, and use a dedicated image name to make it clear in
the CI that it has SRS.
A future commit will enable to deploy physical simulators via docker.
Hence:
- Move the script to run out of deploy_oc_physim(), to make it more
generic (later commits will introduce other scripts)
- pass the working directory (the function will be moved into
cls_oaicitest, as it fits neither cls_containerize nor cls_cluster
when deploying the tests from source)
- not using ci-scripts: don't hardcode a specific path, just use the
working directory
- avoid helm-specific pods summary, and put it into the general "physim
logs"
- remove helm-specific "release", and use a generic name for results
- always log pod logs and status to debug, even if deployment was not
successful or tests did not finish.
Instead of making the function a class member, make it an instance
member because (1) it is more aligned with other functions, notably,
run(), and (2) especially for RemoteCmd() it can be faster, as
successive exec_script() calls do not require a new SSH connection.
This commit broke compatibility with Aerial when compiled with -DSCF_FAPI_10_04_SRS=ON. It was decided that this should become the default.
This reverts commit 8beb382277.
Instead of only saving this information in the first transmission, also
store it on each retransmission. This should ensure that if some
information changes, we always relate to the last transmission. For
instance, power control information might have changed, and should be
considered in subsequent rounds, if necessary. It also simplifies code.
Fixes: 6294ce715e ("Reorder pf_ul to process retransmission")
In at least the case of mu=1, min_rxtxtime=2 and DDDSU with no UL
symbols (for ULSCH) in the mixed slot, the current state of code does
not allow a UE to attach. This is because at mu=1, Msg3 is k2+delta,
where k2=min_rxtxtime and delta(mu)=3.
Prior, this special case was handled because we had a dedicated Msg3
TDA, which in most cases is not necessary (because the mixed slot
allocates the DCI, and the following mixed slot has the UL grant). Add
code that tries to ensure that we only add the Msg3 TDA in cases when we
need it.
Fixes: 961a646dc7 ("Remove dedicated Msg3 TDA")
reset MSG3 C-RNTI flag in case of failure
If MSG3 with C-RNTI fails, the UE should come back with a
re-establishment (after a given number of RA failures in general). In
that case, the OAI UE wouldn't reset the MSG3 with C-RNTI flag leading
to re-establishment failure.
feat(ldpc_aal): Do not try EAL init if FHI 7.2 is enabled
When FHI 7.2 is enabled, the EAL initialization is done by the FHI and
the attempt to init EAL by ldpc_aal will fail. In that case, it is not
necessary neither to provide a DPDK core list for BBDEV.
This MR offers to skip EAL init in ldpc_aal when FHI 7.2 is enabled in
order to avoid error messages in the log and to allow dropping the
useless DPDK cores argument in that case.
Also add some fixes to the LDPC offload documentation.
NR UE: add support for PDSCH rate matching with NZP CSI-RS
Currently only ZP CSI-RS is considered in function
configure_ratematching_csi, add support for NZP CSI-RS.
Closes#975
If the DCI in PDCCH is not correctly received, no PDSCH would be decoded but counted as no error.
Also if the DCI was not correctly received, a TBS of 0 would be used in some computations and memory allocations.
Fix these not counting if there is no PDSCH decoding, and by using the known TBS instead of the one received from the DCI.
Previously, the TDA reuse condition was wrong: for multiple TDAs with
different k2, the symbol allocation might be the same, in which the
previous logic was using the wrong TDA. Fix the condition, and insert an
assert to ensure the allocated TDA is correct.

gNB scheduler small fixes
A couple of fixes in gNB scheduling function. Removing a superfluous input from

Ldpc encoder zc384 optimization
This is a modification for the ldpc encoder which improves performance for
high-throughput cases. It contains a newly-generated file for innermost part of
the parity bit generation which, for AVX512, uses the mm512_permutex2var_epi8
instruction and for 128-bit (aarch64) the mm_alignr_epi8 (vextq_s8) in the
computation corresponding to each non-zero bit of the H matrix. This allows for
removing a very large memcpy and reduces the memory demand for the parity matrix
computation. For the moment this is limited to largest case in BG1, namely
Zc=384. This is the only format used when the number of segments after codeblock
segmentation is large (>8). This improves the timing required for ldpc parity
bits generation by more than a factor 2 with AVX512. This significantly reduces
the total time to generate the DLSCH/PDSCH.
See the merge request description for numbers.
Speedup complex rotate for aarch64
This is a simple optimization for aarch64 for the "rotate_cpx_vector" used for
the phase_rotation in 5G NR. It provides a speedup of around 1.5 on high-end
aarch64 targets compared to the SIMDe translated version. It is implemented with
native NEON intrinsics and was largely inspired by suggestions from ChatGPT 5 :-)
newly-generated files for innermost part of the parity bit
generation which, for AVX512, uses the mm512_permutex2var_epi8
instruction and for 128-bit (aarch64) the mm_alignr_epi8 (vextq_s8) in
the computation corresponding to each non-zero bit of the H matrix.
It is generated with ldpctest -n0 -g1. the changes for this are in a
future MR. I did these changes to compare with the GPU version
(ldpc_encoder_cuda), so that the CPU version is as fast as possible. The
generator will come when we merge the GPU encoder/decoder which also has
a generator for the CUDA version. it was difficult to extract the
changes in ldpctest/ldpc_encoder.c so I just took the generated file.

Redirect to files and manual analysis as done in this Dockerfile is not

RFSim test for 10 UEs/process
This MR adds a testcase and changes required to run 10 UEs in a single
process with RFSim
- Added deregistration for all connected UEs
- Refactored MAC/RRC instance handling
- made map_current_symbol thread safe
- made opeanir0_cfg thread safe and local
- Added 10UE/process testcase
Some code in T tracers is used by both LTE and NR.
In LTE, we expect 10 subframes per frame, and the logging is done with
this assumption. We have one tick per subframe.
In NR, we deal with slots, not subframes. And we have n ticks per frame
(depending on mu). As of today, only n=20 is tested (corresponding to
mu=1).
A previous commit introduced 'subframes_per_frame' which had the correct
meaning for LTE but was truly 'slots per frame' for NR. This creates
confusion.
Let's replace 'subframe' by 'tick' to reduce confusion.
Update RFsim CN
- Update RFsim CNs to latest version
- update the MBIM stop script to remove IP addresses (we don't use this
script directly, so it does not have an impact)
[FHI72 M-plane] CM improvements and PM implementation
Configuration Management:
- addition of the RU username in the fhi_72 section of the config file;
previously hardcoded to oranbenetel
- modification of the frequency offset, frame structure, fft size,
cyclic prefix, and Tx gain;
- addition of the managed delay node;
for Tx/Rx endpoints.
Performance Management implementation where OAI gNB
activates/deactivates available RU performance measurements.
- Replaced ITTI message queues with notifiedFIFO for RRC to MAC communication in UE.
- Enables correct message delivery to multiple MAC instances running in parallel threads.
- Introduced `nr_mac_rrc_message_t` union for MAC-RRC messages.
- Updated all relevant message handling and initialization code to use notifiedFIFO.
Performance Management support explanation.
Example run modified according to:
- modification of the frequency offset, frame structure, fft size, cyclic prefix, and Tx gain;
- addition of the managed delay node;
for Tx/Rx endpoints.
Introduced a parameter start_up_timing which indicates if PM activation is supported during the start-up
procedure. We initialize this parameter, based on the vendor.
Notification interval is set to 10s.
Definition in o-ran-uplane-conf.yang model:
"Gain correction of RF path linked with array element or array layers.
Common part of overall gain_correction.
gain_correction = common array-carrier gain-correction + eAxC gain correction."
Fix SRS TLV unpack
This MR changes the type of a variable to get the last index in which we
unpack the full 32 bits in a SRS TLV to int16 instead of uint16, in
order to be -1 when the TLV length is 0, thus skipping unpacking. This
only affects the SRS.indications sent by Aerial L1, which don't have
padding in the TLV, in case of OAI L1, we unpack in "full" 32 bit blocks
until the end of the TLV, if the length is 0, the unpacking loop exits
immediately. Furthermore, it also adds a check for the Report Type
parameter value in handle_nr_srs_measurements. If this value is zero,
according to SCF 222.10.04 Table 3-129 means a null report, so we can
skip processing it.
- Use MAX_NUM_NR_UE_INST in NR UE MAC to control number of MAC instances.
- Modify the MAC interface slightly so that nr_l2_init_ue only initializes one instance
Use MAX_NUM_NR_UE_INST for number of NR UE RRC instances. Change the RRC
interface slightly so nr_rrc_init_ue initializes only one RRC instance pointed
to by the id given to the function

The CI detects whether a UE connected (and has a PDU session) by trying
to read the IP address. It therefore assumes that as long as the UE is
not connected, no IP would be present.
With the existing stop_quectel_mbim.sh script, this was not the case; it
would simply leave the IP address. Modify this script to flush all IP
addresses on disconnect to remedy this.
DLSCH scheduler: fix bugs in UE sorting
Fix two issues/bugs when sorting UEs in the DLSCH scheduler following
the PF metric, which should improve fairness.
RF emulator and improvements of the timers
RF emulator:
Add an RF library emulating a real device without the need of a real
device. This is thought to enable using phy-test without requiring a
radio device or channel simulation. The library synchronizes on the
real time clock, drops TX and generate noise on RX. Noise generation
can be disabled and the noise level configured.
Timers improvements:
- Fix standard deviation for merged timers
- Add display of ULSCH decoding timers
- Add decoding timer in AAL
Update the comparator() to properly sort UEs based on their coefficient
by appliey a consistent logic of -1/0/1 (see man qsort) for
smaller/equal/larger. The previous logic was only sorting based on 0/1
(equal/larger), which would result in some UEs with a high coefficient
not necessarily advancing to the start of the list, which could reduce
the likelihood of them being scheduled when they actually should (in
other words, this should improve fairness).

Taps client for vrtsim
The MR allows vrtsim to connect to the Raytracing Channel Emulator (CE later).
https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/raytracing-channel-emulator
Additional Ubuntu packages required:
- libnanomsg-dev
- flatbuffers-compiler
- libflatbuffers-dev
Everything was tested on the same host. Follow the steps below to
successfully replicate:
1. Build nr-softmodem dependencies
2. Build nr-softmodem for (gNB, nrUE) with OAI_VRTSIM_TAPS_CLIENTset to ON.
3. Start the core network (Optional) follow this tutorial
4. Start the gNB
sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-NR-5GC/CONF/gnb.sa.band78.fr1.106PRB.usrpb210.conf --gNBs.[0].min_rxtxtime 6 --device.name vrtsim --vrtsim.role server --vrtsim.timescale 0.5 --vrtsim.taps-socket ipc:///tmp/ru_socket_0
5. Start the nrUE
sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem -C 3619200000 -r 106 --numerology 1 --ssb 516 --band 78 --device.name vrtsim --vrtsim.taps-socket ipc:///tmp/ue_socket_0
6. Start the CE Server, once the UE and gNB are running properly, so the
server can connect to IPC sockets
7. Start CE client; the binaries can be downloaded from a pipeline run
or from this link
8. Move the UE in the CE client to generate a new taps array and
populate the taps in softmodems
Align add_boolean_option as per CMake documentation use only ON/OFF for uniformity
The add_boolean_option of CMake is not uniform everywhere. We were using
either True/False or ON/OFF. It is better to be uniform to avoid
confusion.
As an example, see here CMake documentation for an example:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/CMakeDependentOption.html#example-basic-usage
There are also some minor spelling corrections.
some work for better interoperability with srsRAN DU
Just add the minimum to get some user plane traffic going on.
When doing user plane traffic, in the CU logs we have a lot of:
[GTPU] NR-RAN container type: 1 not supported
That will be fixed in another MR, not here.
Interoperability testing with srsRAN DU shows than when receiving
RRCReconfigurationCompleteIndicator in a UEContextModificationRequest
the DU replies in the UEContextModificationResponse with an empty
CellGroupConfig.
This CellGroupConfig is encoded as 2 zero bytes. Let's ignore this
message when we receive it, don't forward it to the UE in a
RRC Reconfiguration, as it should per standard (38.473 8.3.4.2):
If the CellGroupConfig IE is included in the DU to CU RRC Information
IE contained in the UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION RESPONSE message, the
gNB-CU shall perform RRC Reconfiguration as described in TS 38.331 [8].
The CellGroupConfig IE shall transparently be signaled to the UE as
specified in TS 38.331 [8].
To be removed/reworked in the future if the interoperability
situation improves.
This is in 3GPP TS 38.425.
Because it was not done, there was a problem of interoperability
between openair CU and srsran DU. No DL traffic was reaching the UE.
A new GTPU API function is introduced: gtpv1uSendDirectWithNRUSeqNum().
It is only used in the gNB CU, in PDCP. So it was decided to not add a
new parameter to gtpv1uSendDirect() but instead add a new API function.
Replace the unwieldy unix socket implementation of peer information
exchange with an authorative connection descriptor file that
informs the client of the connection method an number of antennas
on the server.
This allows the server to run without the client and allows the
client to reconnect as long as the server is running, as many times
as needed.
Move the channel state management outside the channel implementation.
This simplifies the channel implementation but forces users of the
channel to manage it's state manually.
Add handling for error states in vrtsim which allows to close the
softmodems with CTRL+C without hanging, improving user experience
- Client detection of stale timer.
- Abort state for client and server
Added a libary that can connect to a channel emulator and provide taps
as they are generated.
- Enable connection from vrtsim to channel emulation server
- Depends on flatbuffers definition file from raytracing-channel-emulator
- Depends on libanomsg-dev and flatbuffers-compiler (Ubuntu) or equivalent
- Added a compile time option ENABLE_TAPS_CLIENT to prevent other users
from being affected by additional dependencies
separate computation of size and value for DCI precoding information
This removes stuff that is only relevant for the gNB from the common
functions and moves it to the gNB scheduler functions (related to UL
precoding). In principle no functional change.
2 functions with same name as static to make it clearer they are separate.
remove unused copy of log_level global var.
remove threequarter sampling variable from the radio board general
configuration. The decision of sampling rate is made above. A better
behavior can be done later, like ask to the radio board what sampling
rate it can do,then use it to decide the appropiate sampling rate from
the gNB configuration. In UE case, it is another issue, as the sampling
rate would change after we decode SIB1, but also it is not developped
yet.
Think: NR with different number of slots per frame depending on mu.
The name 'subframes_per_frame' is a bit ambiguous. It is valid for LTE,
but for NR it should be 'slots_per_frame'.
For example, for sub-carrier spacing of 30KHz, we have 20 slots per
frame, so in this case subframes_per_frame = 20. In reality whatever
the numerology, there is always 10 subframes per frame in NR.
But how to name this variable which is used both for LTE and NR cases?
'subframes_or_slots_per_frame'? It's a bit long and also ambiguous.
Conclusion: no big deal I think. 'subframes_per_frame' and so be it.
- Allow client to exit cleanly if server is down
- Ensure timing_thread is joined only once avoiding exit_function loop
- Free noise_device
- Save previously sent samples for channel modelling

Closes: #973
CI: speed up and simplify build, remove unnecessary Python code, remove --eNB* parameter list
This cleans up the CI framework for running end-to-end tests, and
improves the integration with OAI code. Specifically
- cleanup build_oai and helpers to output all text, which is captured
better by the CI
- build some images in the Cluster-Build in parallel to increase speed
- remove all --eNB{,1,2}{IPAddress,UserName,Password} variables. Those
were indexed through "instance" and "server ID" and are replaced with
the actual node name. I consider further cleanup to introduce a
"global" XML file node name so we don't need this in each step and
instead define this once.
- individual cleanup
A previous commit changed to use archiveArtifact() to recover CI logs,
and then attempted to "guess" the L1/MAC stats file name through a
regex. However, the format "enb-[0-9]+" is not correct, as
archiveArtifact() puts the task ID ("[0-9]+") BEFORE the file name
(here, "enb"). So, make it more generic and match the final "-enb.log"
("$" means "end of string").
Fixes: 244ea8fc22 ("Use archiveArtifact() for TerminateeNB()")
Many of these tests exit with an exit code != 0. Thus, the CI
automatically logs the result. Rather, write everything including stderr
to the file for analysis.
Also, rewrite the file with ">" instead of appending through ">>". While
appending works because the CI removes files after archiving, it seems
"cleaner" to remove files.
It is superseded by the CreateWorkspace() function and task step (which
removes and recreates a workspace), and this option was not actually
used in any function except for the build of unit tests, but no XML
step actually specified this option.
After having transitioned to direct node names in the XML, these
parameters are not relevant anymore.
The best way to view this patch is with
git show <SHA> --ignore-all-space
Remove this class. It is not safe to use (no return codes, can get out
of sync), hardcodes the use of passwords, and it's API is cumbersone.
More explanations can also be found in !1867. It is superseded by
cls_cmd.py
Since 28ce0dc444 ("Main: pass in ctx"), the CI always collects logs
into cmake_targets/log/. Hence, LogCollecteNB() is never called. We can
remove it.
Further, change the cmake_targets/log/ to ci-log/, which is shorter, and
append a / on the zip path to make sure that only contents is zipped.
Reimplement these functions by
- using cls_cmd
- retain only the necessary steps from the timing-phytest function
- pass in ctx and node information, instead of server ID
- remove all superfluous variables that don't seem to be used
- make some lists (corresponding indices are "server ID") into normal
variables.
Pass node directly from XML to these functions
- BuildClusterImage()
- BuildImage()
- BuildProxy()
- BuildRunTests()
instead of reading the "server ID" and looking up from
eNB_IPAddress/eNB1_IPAddress/eNB2_IPAddress.
Improve the proxy build unit test by properly passing ctx information.
build_oai primarily builds UHD for OAI. Thus, a number of targets (B100,
USRP1/2, ...) can be omitted, as OAI does not run on them. Further,
disable documentation and man pages, which is typically not necessary
for the averages user, and does not need to be installed for containers.
Similarly to the parent, don't redirect log files to a file. It makes
the CI more complicated, and also raises user awareness of what is being
installed.
Refactor ULSCH scheduler towards more TDD pattern flexibility
Refactors ULSCH scheduler, notably to support "UL-heavy" TDD patterns,
e.g., DSUUU. Also allows to run TDD pattern2 with UL slots, which was a
limitation in the previous code.
Increase the number of aggregration level candidates. Since we have many
UEs with concurrent traffic in that pipeline, we should ensure that we
can allocate many DCIs to not waste resources (e.g., not all RBs used
because could not find DCIs for specific UEs).
Add the possibility to use UL slots in TDD pattern 2. For simplicity, we
require the mixed slot to be of the same symbols in pattern 1 & 2. For
UL slots, simply use the right amount of UL TDAs, depending on which
number of UL slots among pattern 1 & 2 is bigger.
One complication is the TDA for the mixed slot. The current code assumes
that k2 has to be equal or larger than (number of DL slots +1) (because
the spec says min k2=2, but we might want to schedule DSUUU). Then,
there could be for instance the following cases:
- only pattern 1: DSUUU DSUUU ...: the mixed slot has to be reached an
entire period in advance
- pattern 1 & 2: DSUUU DDDDD: normal mixed slot k2, e.g., like for 7DS2U
- pattern 1 & 2: DSUUU DDDSU: the mixed slot has to be reached
N_ul2+N_dl1+1 slots in advance
I can't think of more cases right now. To avoid unscheduled slots, I put
an assertion (which could also trivially be taken out).
Adds the capability to pack/unpack the TDD table in CONFIG.request
following both SCF222.10.02 (Tag 0x1027) and SCF222.10.04 (Tag 0x1035)
formats In the case of Aerial, the TDD table is packed following the
10.04 format, but with the 10.02 tag Prevent the packing of Digital
Beamforming table and Precoding Matrix table for Aerial
A new function get_best_ul_tda() allows to select the "best" TDA out of
a number of TDA. Specifically, get_best_ul_tda() considers in how many
RBs a given TDA might be allocated, and multiplies this number of RBs
with the number of symbols in the TDA to form a "score". The TDA with
the best "score" is selected, considering it maximizes resource usage.
In phytest scheduler, we use this function to verify that the given TDA
can be really allocated in all selected slots.
Schedule SRS longer in advance, so that it would also be enough even
with big k2 for UL TDA.
Remove useless types: we do not use the information on sched_srs
anymore, so remove it.
Check that the VRB map is free before making allocations.
Since the parent commit, the TDA for UL scheduling is dynamically
selected, instead of being hardcoded to specific indices. We can thus
also omit the SRS TDA if no SRS is configured.
Also add SRS-specific TDAs if we schedule further into the future.
Add multiple TDAs with k2 larger than the min_rxtxtime, to potentially
allow to allocate all available slots. For this, nr_rrc_config_ul_tda()
inspects the TDD pattern, and allocates as many TDAs as necessary. It
also sorts the TDA list, with smaller k2 and larger symbol lengths
first.
This in turn is now used by get_num_ul_tda() to use a k2 and the slot
configuration to find a suitable TDA, assuming a list as sorted in
nr_rrc_config_ul_tda().
Note that since get_num_ul_tda() does only inspect the available UL
slots, there might be overlap (e.g., when scheduling SRS), which will be
fixed in a follow-up commit.
Also, TDD pattern 2 is not handled here yet, and a follow-up commit will
fix it.
Add a loop to advance slots as determined by current ("DL") slot, and
advance further into the future (for "UL" slots) if TDAs allow. Ensure
to schedule all TDAs if it's the last DL slot, to guarantee a previously
scheduled TDA will also reoccur (i.e., for guaranteeing that
retransmissions can be made).
Note that the check for number of UE being zero is removed, as this
allows to keep "ul_next" close to the "min_next" slot. This way, we can
use fs_get_max(); otherwise, if we did not always execute this loop,
they might diverge far from each other, making the logic inside the loop
more complicated.
This commit introduces a new type "fsn_t" (frame-slot number) that
encapsulates a single frame-slot combination in a single struct. The
helper functions (in gNB_scheduler_ulsch.c) should be moved to a new
file under common/, but we don't do this here to limit the amount of
code changes.
For scheduling multiple ULSCH ahead, we will have to use different k2.
Hence, we will need to check for k2 in the TDA selection as well. The
function get_ul_tda() is renamed to get_num_ul_tda() to reflect that it
might return multiple TDAs (not done in this commit, but in a follow-up
MR). get_num_ul_tda() also returns a pointer to the first suitable TDA.
In the phy-test scheduler, simplify the selection of the TDA to use: do
not hardcode a specific K2, but rather, use the first one (with any k2).
For the multi-UL slot scheduling functionality in a follow-up commit, it
would be important to know if the scheduler allocated any UEs. If
pf_ul() allocated for some UEs, we might run it again on a different
slot. If on the other hand, no UEs were allocated, there is no point in
running it again.
Introduce support for Cat-B RU using Predefined-Beam BF with Aerial L1
This merge introduces the support for BeamID based Beamforming in OAI L2 using FAPI and leveraging Aerial L1. Support for OAI L1 is not in the scope of this MR.
Main changes:
- Introduced a third state for the analog_beamforming parameter.
0=disabled,1=analog_bf,2=oran_bf
- Correctly populated the FAPI BF PDUs (prg_size, num_prgs,
dig_bf_interfaces)
The Dockerfiles are reused for building on different architectures
(amd64/arm64). They differ, though, on some steps for downloading or
installing platform-specific utilities.
This is handled automatically when using BuildKit, which is the default
in docker versions v23.0+. Older docker versions require some special
settings. Explain this in the README.
Closes: #973

Make Amarisoft UE sim a RedCap UE
Change Amarisoft UE configuration and gNB of the AW2S pipeline to
be/handle RedCap UEs.
The UE should only connect if the gNB handles RedCap UEs. In the logs,
we should see
[MAC] UE with RNTI 3725 is RedCap
which we check for the first two UEs (one normal UE/absence of this
message, one RedCap UE/presence of this message).
Cleanup documentation and interface of the LDPC segment coding libraries
Fix interface: The LDPC segment decoder interface had variables
'harq_pid', 'ulsch_id' and 'C' that are not useful to the segment
decoder. This MR removes these variables from the interface.
Fix documentation: libconfig log do not display anymore by default so we
may better not show them in the documentation to avoid any
misunderstanding.
Remove ldpc_cl library since the library does not work.
Since the parent commit, UE 1 is normal (no RedCap), UE 2 is RedCap.
Verify that the gNB agrees with that and detects the second UE as RedCap
by analyzing some logs.
The first check is a bit elaborate, but basically is
[ $(docker logs | grep XYZ | wc -l) -eq 0 ]
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
1 2 3 4 5
(1) is the if statement, that compares
(4) the number of occurrences
(3) of "RedCap" in the
(2) docker logs
(5) to being equal to
Note for all UEs which number, and whether it is RedCap (so this need to
be kept in sync with the Amarisoft UE sim configuration file in use!).
Change the parameters to be redcap (release: 17, redcap: "redcap") on
some UEs, and modify the path to the updated configuration.
Specifically, make UE 1 normal (no RedCap), UE 2 RedCap, UEs 3&4 normal,
UEs 5&6 RedCap, etc.
RedCap UEs should now only be able to connect if the gNB is handling Redcap
UEs, which is done in the parent commit.
NR UE NTN: consider acceleration on orbital path to calculate N_UE_TA_drift_variant
The ntn-Config ephemerisInfo contains the SAT position and velocity
vector but not the acceleration vector.
But the acceleration magnitude on the orbital path can be calculated as:
t = 2 * pi * r / v
omega = 2 * pi / t = v / r
acceleration = omega² * r = v² / r
Where t is the orbital period, r is the orbital radius, v is the orbital
velocity, omega is the angular velocity. The acceleration direction is
from the SAT position towards the earth center. To calculate the
acceleration towards the UE, this is projected on the direction from the
SAT to the UE.
This is used to calculate the variable N_UE_TA_drift_variant and improve
the TA accuracy.
Workaround for handling 2 SS0 occasions per slot
Search Space 0 monitoring might depend on SSB. In !3332 this dependence
was removed by moving the configuration of SS0 earlier in a workaround
to avoid a segfault in handover. Now, a new workaround is needed to
handle 2 search space occasions per slot.
As DEBIAN_FRONTEND has been set as environment variable, there is no need to use DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive inside RUN lines, it is redundant, hence it has been removed.
Libboost went from 1.74.0 to 1.83.0 alongside Ubuntu update.
GCC version is set as default to be more practical.
In Ubuntu22, apt sources were in .list files, in Ubuntu24 they are in .sources files.
Add --break-system-packages for pip installation to use same logic as before, see the pip update 23.0.1 (2023-02-17).
With Ubuntu24 liboai_device requires libpython3.12
Redirecting to a file has the problem that it is difficult in the CI to
recover these files. Furthermore, at least with ninja, when running
build_oai interactively, the build output will only take some lines
(because ninja rewrites lines), so the change should not be that big to
users.
One CI function would print the entire output from build_oai to the
console. Since that output might be long now, do not do this. The file
is archived, anyway.
The acceleration magnitude on the orbital path can be calculated as:
t = 2 * pi * r / v
omega = 2 * pi / t = v / r
acceleration = omega² * r = v² / r
Where t is the orbital period, r is the orbital radius, v is the orbital velocity, omega is the angular velocity.
The acceleration direction is from the SAT position towards the earth center.
To calculate the acceleration towards the UE, this is projected on the direction from the SAT to the UE.
Variables 'harq_pid', 'ulsch_id' and 'C' of the segment decoder
interface were not used any more by the implementations and set to zero
by all the callers.
Then it is more relevant and compliant to remove them.

CI: Refactor log collection, collect also (COTS) UE logs
Refactor log handling in CI: collect according to currently used XML files. This
makes it homogeneous in the pipelines, and avoids accidental overwriting (as
happens in phytest-timing), as well as harmonizing the log placement
(e.g., no YAML lookup in Ping/Iperf).
Allow to trace and archive UE logs (e.g., Quectel via QLog, Amarisoft UE logs).
By default, no logs will be collected as of this MR, as many files are big.
Various cleanup in Jenkinsfiles, some bugfixes, add unit tests.
Sometimes the connection fails because of the reboot. Without may_fail,
it would stop the build, which will then run the wrong code, possibly.
Instead, continue; if there is a problem with USRP, it will be visible
when starting nr-softmodem.
I have to make both together, since they both depend on
AnalyzeBuildLogs().
- remove mkdir for legacy sub-logfiles in build_oai, that does not exist
anymore; also, remove corresponding log analysis, I think we don't use
it and it is overkill (either build works or not)
- manually try to copy "all.txt"
- explicitly list log files to copy, then analyze
- AnalyzeBuildLogs(): pass log files to inspect explicitly
LDPC BBDEV/AAL rework
This branch aims to generalize the existing LDPC T2 implementation to support
other DPDK BBDEV accelerators, e.g., Intel ACC100/200.
Differences from the current T2 implementation include:
1. relax CMakeLists.txt checking for custom dpdk-t2 implementation,
technically, any DPDK BBDEV should work
2. BBDEV capability checks during init
3. llr_scaling to scale the input llr accordingly for better decoding
performance on the Intel ACC100/200
4. self-managed harq buffers for the ACC200, as internal harq memory is not
available
Tested BBDEV devices:
1. Intel ACC100
2. Intel ACC200/VRB1
Set the context for each task step. Set the artifact result path based
on the XML, so it is harmonized; currently, most pipelines use the "YAML
path" of docker-compose, but that does not always make sense. For
instance, Ping/Iperf() needs to look up this path, but does not
inherently belong to one specific YAML path (there might even be more).
This class provides a generic "context" for individual tasks about the
current task step, and where to log results. It's used by
archiveArtifact() that would automatically log files in the right
directory, based on a directory in the context, and in a way that order
of files is preserved for long-running pipelines.
Note: this does not actually work. In the pipelines, we see that for
some reason, quectel-CM cannot establish a connection. Manually, it
works though(?)
It is not necessary (the final undeploys at the end are "always_exec"),
and makes the CI potentially fail since there is nothing to copy at this
point.
check for IP once before sleeping in case UE IP address exists, which
should speed up the CI. With this, Only print the actual attach command
once. Print errors only at the beginning. This should simplify attach
command output logs.
The CI fails sometimes, because some processes/threads are created in
unpredictable order and if the client connects before the server is
ready some tests fail, as seen in the following log:
[UTIL] client/server iq-samples: launch sub-processes
[UTIL] threadCreate() for time client: creating thread (no affinity, default priority)
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: server] [mode: client] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
[UTIL] time client: connection to 127.0.0.1:7374 failed, try again in 1s
[UTIL] threadCreate() for time source iq samples: creating thread (no affinity, default priority)
[UTIL] threadCreate() for time server: creating thread (no affinity, default priority)
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: iq_samples] [mode: server] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
[UTIL] client/server: rlc ticks: 1000 pdcp ticks: 1000 x2ap ticks: 1000
CMDLINE: "/oai-ran/build/common/utils/time_manager/tests/test_time_manager_auto" "--time_management.mode" "server" "--time_management.time_source" "iq_samples"
[UTIL] client/server: rlc ticks: 0 pdcp ticks: 0 x2ap ticks: 0
CMDLINE: "/oai-ran/build/common/utils/time_manager/tests/test_time_manager_auto" "--time_management.mode" "client"
[UTIL] client-server iq-samples: ERROR
The client/server iq-samples test is started.
Then we see this log:
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: server] [mode: client] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
Which means that the client is running.
It tries to connect to the server (not running yet), but fails, so sleeps
for 1 second before attempting another connection to the server:
[UTIL] time client: connection to 127.0.0.1:7374 failed, try again in 1s
The sleep is done by the time_client thread, the main thread of the test
program continues and does a sleep(1).
Then the server arrives:
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: iq_samples] [mode: server] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
It sends all the ticks (to no client, since the client is still sleeping).
Then the test is over, the sleep(1) of the client finishes and the program
exits. The client never connected to the server.
We have this log:
[UTIL] client/server: rlc ticks: 0 pdcp ticks: 0 x2ap ticks: 0
And the test fails.
It's complicated to write an automatic test involving several uncoordinated
programs. The operating system may create processes in any order. We use
some sleeping to wait, but it may be too short or too long, leading to test
failure.
Let's see with more sleep if the CI fails less.
Fix PDSCH rate-matching for periodic CSI in UE
Changed the search structure to have periodic resoruce id in the outer
loop and configured resource set as inner loop to prevent configuring
resource that is not needed.
Use const for input pointers.
CI: refactor iperf3 UDP analysis function
- add helper function to covert reported bitrate values to Mbps for calculations
- clean up the UDP analysis function, improve test report formatting
- fix an issue where Gbps values were incorrectly reported
(example: https://jenkins-oai.eurecom.fr/job/RAN-SA-AERIAL-CN5G/4802/)
- update CI unit test report checks to match the new formatting
Rename the library to reflect that it's more a generic AAL driver than
specifically for AAL. To this end, rename some documentation.
As of this commit, the options are still called nrLDPC_coding_t2. The
next commit will correct this.

Add a CU-UP load tester and improve GTP performance
This adds a simple tester program for the CU-UP. It sets up a number of
UEs/bearers in the CU-UP via the E1 interface, then streams data in
downlink/uplink (as seen by the CU-UP). More information is available in
tests/nr-cuup/README.md.
Includes some fixes to properly verify that SCTP is installed, and use
"the right cmake way" to use it in cmake code (see commit for details).

T hacks: add new tracer ant0 and a tool to plot ofdm data from usrp or rfsim
(output or input)
The tool ant0 dumps IQ data to a file (or stdout) as float complex or short.
It is needed for a student's project. (Well, we could use record/extract, but
it's simpler.) The tool ofdm-plot is used to plot output or input signal from
gnb in the frequency domain. May be useful to debug, why not.
numelt in place of config_isparamset
config_isparamset doesn't seem to work for array types, a temporary solution is
using numelt to verify if the parameter is set in config file
NR UE: fix reliable SIB19 reception when ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration-r17 expires
Fixes:
- gNB: fix scheduling of Rel-17 SIBs
- gNB: fix case in update_SIB1_NR_SI() when multiple Rel-17 SIBs would be defined
- NR UE: fix calculation of SI window expiry
Updating LEO scenario to test this
- set ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration-r17 to 5 seconds for LEO scenario
- NTN config: setting sib1_tda is not required anymore
Remove these F1-C port numbers. The configuration is not actually
applied, and the default F1-C port number 38472 (see F1AP_PORT_NUMBER)
is hardcoded in the F1 module.
For the moment, I leave the configuration option, in case we want to
allow to configure the port numbers later).
Make a common pattern, which makes it simpler to find them in gNB logs,
and, maybe more importantly, link tunnel creation and update (the update
message was missing the "incoming" TEID, so it is not easy to link to
creation apart from the UE ID, but even then the UE might have multiple
tunnels).
Reuse the gtpv1u_bearer_t for internal functions. Hopefully this will
also simplify implementation of IPv6, as it encapsulates IP address
handling within gtpv1u_bearer_t.
The (remote) port number of the GTP module is configured during
initialization. It is therefore not required when calling
newGtpuCreateTunnel(), and could even lead to bugs (if another port
number is used than specified during GTP init).
This is a simple CU-UP load tester. It sets up a configurable number of UEs in the
CU-UP, then sends GTP traffic in downlink/uplink in the N3-F1/F1-N3
direction at the CU-UP. It then compares the sent and received data.
Additional parameters, such as amount of traffic, test length, packet
size, and IP addresses/ports are configurable.
To run:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -GNinja && ninja nr-cuup nr-cuup-load-test params_libconfig
./tests/nr-cuup/nr-cuup-load-test
./nr-cuup -O ../tests/nr-cuup/load-test.conf
The tester should be able to detect lost and reordered packets.
Example lost: Receive order 2,3,5,6 (lost packet 4)
=> on packet 2, expected 2, next=expected+1=3
=> on packet 3, expected 3, next=expected+1=4
=> on packet 5, expected 4, diff=5-4=1 (lost 1), next=payload+1=6
=> on packet 6, expected 6
=> 1 lost
Example reordered: Receiver order 2,5,3,6 (lost packet 4)
=> on packet 2, expected 2, next=expected+1=3
=> on packet 5, expected 3, diff=5-3=2 (lost 2), next=payload+1=6
=> on packet 3, expected 6, (reduce lost by 1 to 1), next=expected=6
=> on packet 6, expected 6
=> 1 lost
Example reordered: Receiver order 2,5,3,4,6 (no losses)
The boolean value v17_sib was not set to true when allocating si_schedulingInfo_v17 and schedulingInfo2_r17.
So multiple Rel-17 SIBs would lead to multiple allocations and only the last SIB being actually configured.
Fix this by removing the redundant v17_sib variable and directly check if the memory was already allocated.
Also move the definition and allocation of si_schedulingInfo_v17 closer to its actual usage.
Now that we reliably receive SIB19, we can set the ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration-r17 to a sane value
and thus make sure that the UE always has up-to-date SIB19 information.
A dedicated Msg3 TDA is simply not necessary: get_feasible_msg3_tda()
already iterates through all TDAs to find a suitable one for Msg3, and
takes things such as parameter Δ already into account.
The only prerequisite is that the ra_ResponseWindow is long enough. In
some configurations, Msg3 TDA ensured that Msg2 still happened during
ra_ResponseWindow, while Msg3 was outside of it. This is not necessarily
the case anymore, unless ra_ResponseWindow is long enough.
For the normal user, removing ra_ResponseWindow from the config will be
enough.
Since the parent commit, the ra_ResponseWindow will be chosen
automatically. Correspondingly, remove most ra_ResponseWindow options
from configuration files in the repository.
One problem in some mu=1 configs is that the ra_ResponseWindow=4 (10
slots), which might be overly restrictive if the L1 slot ahead is
somewhat close to 10 (e.g., 6), in which case we might not be always
able to allocate Msg2 in time.
A notable exception here is gnb-vnf.sa.band66.u0.25prb.nfapi.conf, in
which we still provide it (1) since it uses a non-standard configuration
of a ra_ResponseWindow longer than 10ms (see also issue #916 for more
information) and (2) as an example.
If the config file does not specify ra_ResponseWindow, select it to be
10 slots in mu=0, or 20 slots for all others.
This should give us enough flexibility to allocate Msg2 without running
out of the response window. The next commit will remove most
ra_ResponseWindow options in configs.
Scheduling for inactivity only deviates in details from the main
scheduling logic: we simply allocate a fixed number of RBs instead of
making it dependent of data.
In this commit, add an additional flag to sort UEs that are scheduled
for inactivity in front of "normal" UEs (with traffic). Then, schedule
those UEs by limiting/fixing the amount of RBs to schedule to
min_grant_prb.
Update the comparator() to properly sort UEs based on this flag and the
coefficient by applying a consistent logic of -1/0/1 (see man qsort) for
smaller/equal/larger. The inactivity flag, if set, will always have
higher priority over the coefficient to schedule these UEs first, as was
the case prior to this commit.
Remove sched_ctrl->sched_ulsch, and call the post-processing function
post_process_ulsch() in the places where sched_ctrl->sched_ulsch has
been assigned. This will have two effects:
- it is not necessary to have the final loop over all UEs, which might
be costly especially towards many UEs.
- till now, there is only a single sched_ulsch; however, a later commit
will allow to schedule multiple PUSCH transmissions from a single (DL)
slot. This would require to make sched_ctrl->sched_ulsch, and
also iterate through all sched_ulsch. In this new scheme, we can
simply call post_process_ulsch() multiple times, which is simpler (and
therefore, implicitly handleded as of this commit).
Write a single NR_sched_pusch_t structure in a single statement (where
possible). Assign to sched_ctrl->sched_pusch later, where the
post-processing functionality will be called in a follow-up commit.
Write a single NR_sched_pusch_t structure in a single statement (where
possible). Assign to sched_ctrl->sched_pusch in one place, where the
post-processing functionality will be called in a follow-up commit.
Avoid to overwrite the existing retInfo. Instead, create a new
NR_sched_pusch_t and assign to sched_ctrl->sched_pusch in one place. A
follow-up commit will directly trigger the post processor here.
Write a single NR_sched_pusch_t structure in a single statement (where
possible). Assign to sched_ctrl->sched_pusch in one place, where the
post-processing functionality will be called in a follow-up commit.
PF uses MCS and average throughput to decide which UE to schedule. Thus,
the first loop selects the MCS, and the second does the main UE
allocation after sorting by priority, depending on the MCS.
A follow-up commit will remove sched_pusch from NR_UE_sched_ctrl_t.
Thus, we cannot rely on sched_ctrl to store the MCS in the first loop,
and look it up from there in the second. Instead, store it as part of
the UE iterator data, and take it from there.
A later commit will remove sched_ctrl->sched_pusch. Instead, the TX
power is also stored for each HARQ process (as they contain
sched_pusch). Read it from there, which should have the same effect.
Introduce an array with information on FAPI structures to save resource
allocation into. It's in nr_mac_gNB.h because the next commit reuses
this for all preprocessors.
DC subcarrier has a significantly higher energy compared to other CSI IM
resource elements. This causes the average interference + noise
estimation to be higher than CSI-RS signal power making the CQI 0. With
a third-party gnb that schedules PDSCH based on CQI, the UE never
receives DL DCI once it starts sending CSI reports.
- Add helper function to normalize bitrate values to Mbps for calculations.
- Add helper function to extract data from iperf test report.
- Clean up the UDP analysis function, improve test report formatting.
- Fix an issue where Gbps values were incorrectly reported due to inconsistent
unit parsing.
- Update CI unit test report checks to match the new formatting.
feat(LDPCImplementation.md): Fix documentation
Few ambiguities and outdated names were found in the LDPC documentation
by Vlademir Brusse (see in the devel mailing list).
- Outdated names of the functions of the segment coding interface.
- Ambiguity about loading of the segment coding libraries.

DedicatedBWPs
- Fix hardcoded 'controlResourceSetId' by making it dynamic
- Remove 'searchspaceid' from 'verify_agg_levels' function because it
was used only for LOG
- CI: Add DedicatedBWP to '40 MHz TDD F1+E1 SA' in
'RAN-SA-B200-Module-SABOX-Container'
Fix overflow when negating minimum int16_t value in precoding
This closes#955
It prevents undefined behavior caused by the minimum int16_t value
(-32768) in two's complement representation. Because possible negation
by multiplying with -1 during precoding cause an overflows since +32768
cannot be represented in 16-bit signed integers and end up again in
-32768 because of overflow, here reveald by using the SIMD functions.
Workaround we use a slightly smaller number than 1 in Q15 Format to
prevent this error. Q15 representation of (integer value -32767) -1 +
2^-15 = -0.999969482421875
remove specific directory for LTE SIM management tools
This is very old code has never been integrated with the "main" OAI
cmake infrastructure and more recent libraries.
This MR integrates the three binaries for LTE virtual sim management in
the regular build process and log system
Avoid the include gtpv1_u_messages_types.h, as this pulls in e.g., LTE
RRC definitions. The CU-UP load tester integrated in one of the
following commits should be able to build without LTE RRC, if it was for
GTP. Unfortunately, ITTI also pulls in LTE RRC, so it's also somewhat
useless...
Put some forward declarations instead. That also shows that the API is
unnecessarily complex, and would need some cleanup.
Remove sctp from all other targets, since we use sctp::sctp on
SCTP_CLIENT (would fail if it does not exist), and SCTP_CLIENT already
fulfils the SCTP dependency.
- Provide some documentation
- Make cmake keywards and sctp lib name lowercase
- Use standard form of find_package_handle_standard_args()
- Make an imported target sctp::sctp that will fail if being used in
cmake unless defined, which will avoid that "sctp" appears in the
cmake code but is silently discarded

Following frequency change in the pipeline, we observed degraded UL channel
conditions resulting in low UL throughput. Increasing attenuation on the gNB
side was found to mitigate this issue by improving UL channel quality
and reducing UL noise power.
Increase tested UL and DL bitrates in OAIUE pipeline.
Tell strncpy() the size including the NULL byte to make sure we copy all
data.
This just fixes these warnings:

add copy with limited size and truncate properly with null C string termination.
As clang-format doesn't handle tab indented files and as it is not the
OAI coding rule, the entire file is re-indented with present OAI coding
rule.
Move the path to the beginning, so that we can use it early.
Specifically, it was after the SCTP module, and the next commit will use
the Findsctp.cmake module to find SCTP. Use the cmake-proper variable.
Remove --usim-test command line option
Remove the --usim-test option: to my knowledge, it's not used by users,
and is misleadingly placed in various places where there should not be a
difference w.r.t. USIM configuration.
When making the changes, I assumed that --usim-test would be 0 (the
default), which is the case in all executables when not specified in
options except for the nr_dlsim, nr_pbchsmi, nr_ulsim simulators.
The only exception is the initialization of PDCP from the MAC, which
does not seem to be correct (the PDCP is in the CU, so it does not make
sense to call it from the MAC which is in the DU).
Synchronized Real-Time Data Recording Application Addition
The main Features of Synchronized Real-Time Data Recording Application:
- The Data Recording Application runs in parallel to the gNB or UE
server or in another server as Data Recording or Data Lake Server
- It makes use of (an extended version) of OAI’s T-tracer framework
- It communicates with base station, and user terminal
- It synchronizes and combines data traces and control information
(meta-data) from Base station and User terminal into consistent SigMF
data sets
Details on implementation addition:
- T_tracer Extension to Support up to 35 Parameters in the T() macro
- Add traces on gNB PHY UL and related requirement: FD PUSH IQ, FD DMRS, and UL Channel estimates wi/wo interpolation, and Rx Payload bits:
1. The required memories have been created and initialized in:
openair1/PHY/NR_TRANSPORT/nr_ulsch_demodulation.c
2. Those memories: memory for DMRS signals, memory for channel
estimates based on DMRS positions, memory to store slot grid with
channel coefficients based on DMRS positions after interpolation,
and memory to store extracted data including PUSCH + DMRS.
3. The input parameters to nr_pusch_channel_estimation() has been
updated to get the pointer to the added memories of
pusch_dmrs_slot_mem and pusch_ch_est_dmrs_pos_slot_mem
(openair1/PHY/NR_ESTIMATION/nr_ul_estimation.h)
4. The DMRS grid of NR slot and the estimated channel coefficients at
DMRS locations are logged to created memories in:
openair1/PHY/NR_ESTIMATION/nr_ul_channel_estimation.c
5. The function inner_rx in
openair1/PHY/NR_TRANSPORT/nr_ulsch_demodulation.c is updated to log
the extracted ULSCH PRBs and the interpolated channel coefficients.
6. The T-macro() has been called in
(openair1/PHY/NR_TRANSPORT/nr_ulsch_demodulation.c) to trace added
traces: T_GNB_PHY_UL_FD_DMRS, T_GNB_PHY_UL_FD_CHAN_EST_DMRS_POS,
T_GNB_PHY_UL_FD_PUSCH_IQ, T_GNB_PHY_UL_FD_CHAN_EST_DMRS_INTERPL
- Add traces on UE PHY UL and related requirement: Tx Scrambled bits and Tx payload bits
1. Update input parameters to nr_ulsch_encoding () in
nr_transport_proto_ue.h to get number_dmrs_symbols to be added to
meta-data.
2. In nr_ulsch_coding.c: Trace UE PHY UL Payload TX bits (T_message:
T_UE_PHY_UL_PAYLOAD_TX_BITS) including related meta-data and UTC
time.
3. In nr_ulsch_ue.c: Trace UE PHY UL Scrambled TX bits (T_message:
T_UE_PHY_UL_SCRAMBLED_TX_BITS) including related meta-data and UTC
time.
4. Fix the input prameters in nr_ulsch_encoding () called in
(openair1/SIMULATION/NR_PHY/ulschsim.c) since a new input parameter
has been added.
- Add Data Collection Services (T-Tracers for gNB and UE)
1. Add _tracer_app_gnb and t_tracer_app_ue apps to common/utils/T/tracer/Makefile
2. Add Data collection Service for gNB: common/utils/T/tracer/t_tracer_app_gnb.c
3. Add Data Collection Service for UE: common/utils/T/tracer/t_tracer_app_ue.c
- Add Shared memory configuration
(common/utils/T/tracer/shared_memory_config.h), since we will have too
much memory consumption on the stack if the T-tracer is not fast
enough to process the traces or if we have too much traces. As a
result, tracers start to capture data, write data in shared memory,
then close the T-Tracer after getting the recording of N slots. The
Data recording App will read data from the shared memory.
- Add Main app of Data Recording Application v1.0 including: Config
files, SigMF Interface, Config Interface, Sync Service, and def
messages: The data recording App includes mainly the following files:
1. The main app: data_recording_app_v1.0.py that has the data control
service, interact with tracers, data sync and conversion service.
2. The configuration file:
common/utils/data_recording/config/config_data_recording.json
3. The wireless dictionary file:
common/utils/data_recording/config/wireless_link_parameter_map.yaml
4. Config Interface
(common/utils/data_recording/lib/config_interface.py) that reads
the configuration for both gNB and UE.
5. Sync interface (common/utils/data_recording/lib/sync_service.py)
that sync captured data for gNB and UE before saving them in SigMF
format
6. The SigMF Interface
(common/utils/data_recording/lib/sigmf_interface.py) to store
recorded data and meta-data in SigMF format
7. A simple script
(common/utils/data_recording/sync_validation_demo.py) to validate
that the recorded bits from gNB and UE are in Sync

The LLR threshold buffers hold only for one symbol but the LLRs are
computed for all symbols together. So only the threshold of last symbol
was used for computing LLR for all other symbols.
This commit calls nr_dlsch_llr for each symbol togther with rest of
nr_rx_pdsch() and calls nr_dlsch_layer_demapping at the last symbol.
Fixes issue 948.
TS 38.213 4.1 says coreset 0 is present only if kssb < 24 for FR1 and <
12 for FR2. This commit sets get_sib1 flag based on kssb.
Also, setting of mac state is taken out of function nr_ue_decode_mib().
After RRCSetup, until RRCReconfigurationComplete, gNB continues to schedule ULSCH using DCIs in a common searchspace.
In theory, the UE should decode DCIs in:
<downlinkBWP-ToAddModList>
<BWP-Downlink>
<bwp-Common>
<pdcch-ConfigCommon>
<setup>
<commonSearchSpaceList>
...
</commonSearchSpaceList>
However, due to the limited amount of time to investigate this issue, the easy way I found to get DCIs decoded in common searchspace of a DedicatedBWP was by adding a common searchspace in the bwp-Dedicated:
<bwp-Dedicated>
<pdcch-Config>
<setup>
<searchSpacesToAddModList>
<SearchSpace>
...
</SearchSpace>
</searchSpacesToAddModList>
This way, let's call it a workaround.
There is a removal of the NR_SearchSpace__searchSpaceType_PR because, at this point, the gNB already selected the searchspace and it calls this function only to find the coreset with controlResourceSetId based on the previously searchspace id selected;
There is no need to send a pointer to the entire searchspace structure because we only need the controlResourceSetId: NR_ControlResourceSetId_t coreset_id = *ss->controlResourceSetId;
It also prevents a segmentation fault, in develop when NR_SearchSpace__searchSpaceType_PR_common because gNB calls sched_ctrl->coreset = get_coreset(nr_mac, scc, bwpd, sched_ctrl->search_space, target_ss); the bwpd is NR_BWP_DownlinkDedicated_t *bwpd = NULL; and is it incompatible with the cast to NR_BWP_Downlink_t in coreset = ((NR_BWP_Downlink_t*)bwp)->bwp_Common->pdcch_ConfigCommon->choice.setup->commonControlResourceSet; this was never noticed until now because gNB barely used NR_SearchSpace__searchSpaceType_PR_common

Remove the --usim-test option: to my knowledge, it's not used by users,
and is misleadingly placed in various places where there should not be a
difference w.r.t. USIM configuration.
When making the changes, I assumed that --usim-test would be 0 (the
default), which is the case in all executables when not specified in
options except for the nr_dlsim, nr_pbchsmi, nr_ulsim simulators.
The only exception is the initialization of PDCP from the MAC, which is
not correct (the PDCP is in the CU, so it does not make sense to call it
from the MAC which is in the DU). Instead, always initialize from main,
even in the NSA case (NSA was covered by the incorrect initialization
from MAC).
This in turn let to some more cleanup around function du_rlc_data_req().
After receiving GTP packets at the DU, they were given to the PDCP to
enqueue the packet at RLC. This does not work anymore, since the PDCP is
not initialized; it also does not seem necessary, as this enqueue
functionality is necessary to decouple PDCP and RLC to avoid deadlocks
in monolithic, but in split-mode, this cannot happen. Instead, call
directly into the RLC when receiving GTP packets.
It provides and overview about the Architecture, Requirement Packages,
Configuration Files, How to run Data Recording Application, and an
Overview on Collected Data Set.

- Support the new state machine of T-Tracers
- Add new files for Config Interface, sync Service, def of data recording messages, and common utilties
- Make part of logging on Terminal configurable
- Add _tracer_app_gnb and t_tracer_app_ue apps to common/utils/T/tracer/Makefile

RAN-Container-Parent: Auto-generate artifact in failure case
RAN-Container-Parent uses Jenkinsfile-GitLab-Container, which only
triggers sub pipelines, then collects their results. However, if a sub
pipeline did not generate an artifact, the result was skipped. It would
also not show it in the automatically generated result page, when it
should.
Remedy this by automatically generating a file with a link to the
pipeline if the artifact could not be retrieved, which
1. Will give a link, which is easier for developers to follow to the
pipeline than manually clicking through Jenkins,
2. Makes the failed pipeline appear in the list of failed pipelines.
CI: test T2 with DPDK 22.11
Following the upgrade of T2 to the latest firmware, DPDK 22.11 is now required.
This MR updates the testing pipeline to ensure compatibility and deployment of
T2 physims with DPDK 22.11.
bridge->nb_cnx++ is done before calling snprintf(modelname,... in the function,
so we take the model name of the next channel. This commit corrects the issue by
using bridge->nb_cnx - 1, ensuring that the model name corresponds to the currently
connected client.
This bug was introduced by MR !3455.

CI: Change RU in Aerial setup from Foxconn to WNC
- Change frequency in the gNB config file, from 3.75GHz to 3.5GHz
- Add high throughput tests with may_fail tag (1Gbps in DL and 90Mbps in UL)
- Update Aerial tutorial to match the changes
NR UE: Enable additional PDU session
- fix a bug with wraparound of buffer_remain_ep
- Add --extra-pdu-id command line option
Testing procedure:
1. Start cn in openairinterface5g/doc/tutorial_resources/oai-cn5g with
docker compose up
2. Start gnb:
sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-NR-5GC/CONF/gnb.sa.band78.fr1.106PRB.usrpb210.conf --gNBs.[0].min_rxtxtime 6 --rfsim --rfsimulator.server_address server
3. Monitor extra interfaces being created:
watch -n 0.5 "ifconfig | grep tun"
4. Start UE:
sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem -C 3619200000 -r 106 --numerology 1 --ssb 516 --band 78 --rfsim --uicc0.imsi 001010000000001 --extra-pdu-id 11
5. An extra tun interface oaitun_ue1p11 should be created. Observe in
the terminal from step 3
6. Ping the core network from both interfaces, e.g., ping -I
oaitun_ue1p11 10.0.0.1, ping -I oaitun_ue1 10.0.0.1. This should
generate traffic on the gNB on different LCIDs.
Measurement gaps
Scheduling measurement gaps to provide sufficient time for the UE to
re-tune its transceiver to the target carrier, complete the set of
measurements and then re-tune its transceiver back to the original
carrier.
This commit reduces the UL throughput target in the 2x2 test to align
with the host’s performance capabilities. The adjustment ensures more
reliable and consistent CI results.
Based on observations from testing on acamas, the interval between DL
disruption and the UE synch check needs to be increased - the UE takes
longer to go out of sync . A sleep of 15 seconds has proven to be a
reliable value to ensure constant results.
fix(RLC): Count dropped DL SDUs by the RLC
When a downlink SDU was discarded by the RLC Acknowledged Mode entity
due to a full transmit buffer (tx_maxsize), the drop statistics were not
being updated. The txpdu_dd_pkts and txpdu_dd_bytes counters remained at
0. It should be noted that while the statistics are named txpdu_dd_*,
the drop at this stage occurs at the SDU level.
speedup NR RLC RX for AM
rx_list is replaced by an array of size 2^(SN size - 1) which is 131072
for an SN size of 18 bits, leading to 1048576 bytes of memory used.
(Less for smaller SN sizes.)
A lot of RX processing was to run through rx_list. When the list was big
(with some non-ideal channel), it can take some time. Removing this list
should improve things. Checking with benchmark_nr_rlc_am_entity a
speedup of more thant x10 is achieved (except for the case 1024 which is
surprisingly faster than the others in the develop branch).
The only thing that may be slower is when looking for cur->next where
the SN is different, in which case we need to look for all SN one by one
until we find something or reach the limit (rx_highest_status). These
are the functions get_first_rx_pdu() and get_next_rx_pdu().
Add SYS_NICE capability to enable setting thread priority and affinity
in rfsim5g tests. This improves execution speed in test cases with
heavier processing workloads.
When migrating from RHEL (on cacofonix) to Ubuntu 22.04 (on acamas), the `nc`
command needs to be replaced by `ncat`. The version of `nc` available on Ubuntu
is the OpenBSD variant, which lacks support for some options used in our scripts.
`ncat` from the Nmap is used instead.

Add WLS as a transport option for VNF/PNF, refactor existing options
This MR adds a new transport mechanism for the VNF and PNF split, using
the Intel WLS library, which makes use of DPDK and shared memory to
transport messages. This transport mechanism is what is used to
interface with Radisys ODU, while also working with OAI VNF/PNF.
The VNF and PNF have been refactored so that the transport-specific
functions are isolated from the rest of the logic, and as such,
interchangeable by means of function pointers.
The same change is done for the packing/unpacking procedures, allowing
to switch between FAPI and nFAPI encoding.
This MR also reduces the amount of duplicated code, by refactoring the
VNF with Aerial, which now only has the transport-relevant functions, as
well as the ones that are unique to it ( for example, the unpacking
procedures where a secondary data buffer is used for the message
payloads )
Additionally a new callback is added to the VNF to process
ERROR.indication messages, which currently only indicates which message
originated the error, and which error occurred.
When a downlink SDU was discarded by the RLC Acknowledged Mode entity due to a full transmit buffer (tx_maxsize), the drop statistics were not being updated.
The `txpdu_dd_pkts` and `txpdu_dd_bytes` counters remained at 0.
It should be noted that while the statistics are named `txpdu_dd_*`, the drop at this stage occurs at the SDU level.
Add nr_fapi_p5 library to the simulators common library for access to the utility function `copy_config_request`
Add dummy VNF/PNF functions to be referenced by lte-softmodem, before LTE and NR implementations of the VNF/PNF are separated

Edit NR_NFAPI_archi.md to describe the VNF and PNF processing logic, as well as adding a flowchart for each of the components execution
Add the necessary patch to install the WLS library in the system
The changes done in this commit are to contribute the supporting changes
for the existing "Initial support for RedCap" feature in gNB.
In this patch, handle and store the RedCap related IE's present in "NR
UE Capability Information" msg which are
- 'supportOfRedCap-r17'
- 'supportOf16DRB-RedCap-r17'
- 'longSN-RedCap-r17'
- 'am-WithLongSN-RedCap-r17'
use 'longSN-RedCap-r17' and 'am-WithLongSN-RedCap-r17' IEs to set the SN
length to either 12 Bit or 18 Bit accordingly.
Previously, we only supported intra-frequency handovers, so the
measurements where only for intra-frequency, reusing the same
measurement object. Now that we would support inter-frequency handover,
also add multiple MeasObjects for each neighbor.
Add some helper functions that will be used by the MAC handler to fill
the right MeasGap configuration based on Measurement Configuration sent
by the CU, in the next commit.
Checks whether there are at least 4 bytes available to pull tag and length values.
On tlv_list unpack, if the size is sent as 0, immediately exit the function
Created a function nr_error_ind_cb for the VNF that takes a received ERROR.indication and shows some details regarding the reported error from the PNF, since up until now it was not handled and treated as an unknown message.
Proper error handling procedure not created, only shows that the error occurred.
Remove duplicated functions in fapi_vnf_p7.c, leaving only functions for messages that require usage of the secondaty data_buf for unpacking
Move vnf_info struct declaration to nfapi_vnf.h to be available in fapi_nvIPC.c
Add check to vnf_nr_handle_param_response for when phy_info is not found
The WLS VNF is in charge of Enqueueing the used blocks after usage for transport, this is done by keeping track of all blocks used, and calling WLS_Enqueue for all of them upon receiving a SLOT.indication
The common library exposes functions for the PNF to return the received blocks to the VNF for it to call WLS_Enqueue on them.
This is done in order to ensure the Blocks are returned after processing, also preventing the Dequeueing of blocks that are still being used, i.e. the internal value is not -1
All saved blocks are to be enqueued at the reception of a SLOT.indication by the VNF
Additionally, the definition of NFAPI_MAX_PACKED_MESSAGE_SIZE was moved to nfapi_interface.h and removed from the other headers, this is done to allow to set the maximum message size when using WLS by only changing the value in one place

Recently f buffer was changed to hold packed bits and the correspoinding
change in dlsim was not done so the number of error bits before decoding
was incorrectly reported. This commit fixes it.
Improvements to the FHI for enabling further use cases
These changes to the FHI were primarily thought to enable the integration of
the intel ACC ( !3344 ) in parallel of the FHI.
I preferred to make a separate MR because I believe this topic is orthogonal
enough to be handled separately and because I wanted to bring even further
improvements.
The improvements that it actually brings are:
- Enable compiling and running xran F release with DPDK 21+
- Enable including a BBDEV device in addition of the ethernet device for the
FHI when performing EAL init, which is necessary for using the intel ACC
with the FHI.
- Fix an issue in usage of pkgconfig in xran E and F release. This enables to
reliably build xran with the version of DPDK requested to pkgconfig while
before this fix xran was always selecting the headers installed in /usr/local.
E release had the same issue of not using pkgconfig properly as F release.
This issue was fixed in F release when enabling its compatibility with DPDK 21+.
This commit brings this fix to E release.
In order to be usable in parallel of FHI 7.2, BBDEV devices should be included in the EAL initialization that is prformed by xran.
This commit adds a way of adding the BBDEV device from OAI.
Also fixes an issue with pkgconfig in xran.

Look up xran_fh_init/xran_fh_config through driver instead of peaking
into xran internals. Note that xran writes values back into these
structs during initialization, and hence it is important to store them
_after initialization_.
Some remarks regarding less obvious changes:
- slotnum is replaced by slots_in_sf: SLOTNUM_PER_SUBFRAME uses the time
duration of a slot (=interval_us_local) to calculate the numbers of
slots in a subframe, which can be done with a simple shift instead
- The prach duration should be queried from the PRACH configuration
table. The function to query the occasion info is part of the MAC
layer code while this information can be used outside of this layer.
Use header `nr_prach_config.h` to not duplicate functionality.

Split out type and function definitions for a cleaner separation for
some consumers of these functions. Concretely, nr_mac_common.h includes
various ASN.1 NR RRC headers, but not all consumers of these APIs might
need these headers. For instance, the next commit will use these
functions in the driver for 7.2 (it needs to compute PRACH length), but
the driver itself does not depend on nor does it need the ASN.1 NR RRC
headers. Defining a new header avoids the problem.
bugfix: UE AMBR is optional
This was a problem with open5gs and more than one PDU session. The core network
sets UE AMBR only once, leading to failure in the gNB for the second PDU session.
(A proper handling of AMBR has to be develop at some point in the gNB.)
The buffers are set up by the OAI xran driver, so instead of peaking
into xran internal data, access the buffers through the driver directly.
The buffers get set up through the following xran calls
In xran_5g_fronthault_config():
- src => sFrontHaulTxBbuIoBufCtrl
- srccp => sFrontHaulTxPrbMapBbuIoBufCtrl
- dst => sFrontHaulRxBbuIoBufCtrl
- dstcp => sFrontHaulRxPrbMapBbuIoBufCtrl
In xran_5g_prach_req()
- prach(dst) => sFHPrachRxBbuIoBufCtrl
- prach(dst)decomp => sFHPrachRxBbuIoBufCtrlDecomp
Note that in all cases:
- the xran buffer array is [XRAN_N_FE_BUF_LEN][XRAN_MAX_SECTOR_NR][XRAN_MAX_ANTENNA_NR]
(of [internal] type BbuIoBufCtrlStruct, but we give an sBufferList)
- the driver buffer array is [XRAN_MAX_ANTENNA_NR][XRAN_N_FE_BUF_LEN]
Hence, we switch the order of indexing, leave out the sector, and omit
the sBufferList member.
xran_get_slot_idx_from_tti() has been introduced to access data
information from xran. However, it makes no sense, as the used macros to
calculate frame, slot, subframe, are already in the public API. Hence,
use these macros directly.
It would be possible to remove xran_get_slot_idx_from_tti(), but doing
so we would need to update the patch ID, causing trouble to users.
CI: set interface name in UPF container for RFSim5G
This MR addresses an issue related to CN deployment, observed in the RFSim5G CI pipeline. Specifically, the IP addresses within the UPF container were not consistently bound to the correct network interfaces. This inconsistency led to incorrect IP address assignments for the N3, N4, and N6 interfaces, resulting in connectivity issues.
See merge request oai/openairinterface5g!3517
Fix automatic SSS detection logic
When we try to detect a specific PCI and it fails, the SSS detection returns
successful detection with wrong frequency offset.
This was a problem with open5gs and more than one PDU session.
The core network sets UE AMBR only once, leading to failure in the gNB
for the second PDU session.
(A proper handling of AMBR has to be develop at some point in the gNB.)

continuously update SIB19 information for rfsim NTN LEO scenarios
Contains mainly these changes:
- gNB: add function nr_update_sib19() allowing to update SIB19
information
- rfsimulator: update SIB19 contents every frame for LEO channel
simulations
- NR UE: improve initial timing advance calculation from SIB19
Before, we only considered ta_Common_r17 and the SAT position from SIB19
to compute the initial timing advance value. This is good enough if the
satellite does not move too fast (e.g. GEO satellite).
Now we also consider ta_CommonDrift_r17, ta_CommonDriftVariant_r17 and
the SAT velocity together with the epoch time from SIB19. This improves
the accuracy of the initial TA computation, esp. for LEO satellite
scenarios.
Various fixes for UE handling, HO doc updates
- On release request, search both attach and connected list to free a UE.
- on DU disconnect, only release the correspnonding UE contexts.
- When no AMF for the UE, auto-release the UE (NGAP would also send an
answer, but better check first)
- implement a "grace period" before the DU/MAC automatically releases a
UE: this is to avoid cases in which (for whatever reason) the UE
release request is not honored by the CU. In order to not fill up UE
contexts unnecessarily, the DU will eventually (after 10s) drop the UE
context
- some clarification in HO tutorial
When the RA procedure fails at Msg4, we trigger UL failure and send a
message to the CU to request release. There was a bug in that upon the
ensueing release command, we did not search in the attach list (only
connected list). However, the UE failing at Msg4 does not have
transitioned to the connected list yet, thus not freeing the context.
Fixes: 8f62baefa6 ("Use list of UEs during RA instead of array of RA
processes)"
It might happen that the CU does not answer a release request. In that
case, the MAC would never free the UE context, potentially blocking the
DU. Avoid this by introducing a "grace period" after which a UE context
is automatically freed at the MAC (and RLC), currently at 10s after the
30s UL failure timer.
Mark non-existing AMF UE NGAP ID through invalid INT64_MAX number
(permitted range is up to 2^40-1). Check for this range in the RAN
function, as we might otherwise pass the invalid AMF UE NGAP ID to the
agent, which would assert with
nr-softmodem: /oai-ran/openair2/E2AP/flexric/src/lib/3gpp/enc/enc_gnb.c:83: enc_gNB_UE_asn: Assertion `gnb->amf_ue_ngap_id < 1UL << 40' failed.
In other words, don't send KPM messages for a UE which has no valid AMF
UE NGAP ID yet (which follows from the fact that the spec requires an
AMF UE NGAP ID; the previous behavior of simply sending 0 could be
considered a bug, because it's not the UE's true AMF UE NGAP ID).
rx_list is replaced by an array of size 2^(SN size - 1)
which is 131072 for an SN size of 18 bits, leading to
1048576 bytes of memory used. (Less for smaller SN sizes.)
A lot of RX processing was to run through rx_list. When the list was
big (with some non-ideal channel), it can take some time. Removing this
list should improve things. Checking with benchmark_nr_rlc_am_entity
a speedup of more thant x10 is achieved (except for the case 1024 which
is surprisingly faster than the others in the develop branch).
The only thing that may be slower is when looking for cur->next where
the SN is different, in which case we need to look for all SN one by
one until we find something or reach the limit (rx_highest_status).
These are the functions get_first_rx_pdu() and get_next_rx_pdu().
NR RRC Reject UE
Improvements in procedures to handle RRCReject message both at gNB and
UE. At gNB we send RRC Reject if the UE cannot be given resources to go
into connected mode.
bugfix: read msg_type only after deciphering
There was a problem with accessing msg_type from the input buffer before
deciphering, giving obviously wrong value.
CI team: we should add a test in the CI with NAS ciphering + integrity
(connection to the core) set to not null (I suggest nea2/nia2). With
openair's core, this is done by setting this in the amf config file
(nia1 and nea2 at the top of the list):
supported_integrity_algorithms:
- "NIA2"
- "NIA1"
- "NIA0"
supported_encryption_algorithms:
- "NEA2"
- "NEA1"
- "NEA0"
And also put full security in the AS. This is done with this in the gnb
config file:
security = {
ciphering_algorithms = ( "nea2", "nea0" );
integrity_algorithms = ( "nia2", "nia1", "nia0" );
drb_ciphering = "yes";
drb_integrity = "yes"
};
Ideally we should test this with both openair UE and cots UE. But as a
strict minimum do for openair UE (this is where the bug was).
No need to do much traffic, a few ping is enough. But if you want to
check throughput with full security, why not.
Remove this option: some tests produce an excessive amount of output on
failure (e.g., googletest/benchmark). This seems to overwhelm the Python
CI code. Suppress this output, because we can always manually run this
test. A high-level "this test is ok/nok" should be fine for the CI.
NR UE: enable CSI report for SISO case
Correct precoded_sinr_dB wrongly set to 0 for SISO case, also correct
ri_restriction is 0 when calculating CQI bit length for SISO.
Update/refine gNB MAC stats, update L1
Only applicable with -q option.
Print a number of statistics, e.g., rx_ulsch_sdu to track UL MAC stats
timing. Remove unused time_meas_t definitions, and fix the name for the
total gNB scheduler time.
Print the RU stats in nrL1_stats.log, as some are already there, and do
not "pollute" the periodic logs when -q is enabled.
I used this to see why there are sometimes late slots with Aerial. I
used the above stats to get a general overview. This additional patch
shows that at least in RFsim, the RLC indication in rx ulsch sdu can
take up to 20us on my machine. Given that we can have multiple PDUs in
UL (10?), this can amount to a sizeable amount of time. While this is
for another MR, I thought the cleanup would be nice to have.
Do not pollute periodic output, and rather print those into
nrL1_stats.log. A number of them are already there anyway, so transfer
the rest. Note: ru->ifdevice.tx_fhaul is omitted, as we don't have any
IF5 split in 5G.
Refactor F1 UE context messages, add unit tests
Add encoder+decoder+util functions for F1 UE context messages, and use
them in the stack. The overall goal is to unit test encoder+decoder (to
be sure that what we send is what we receive), and remove any memory
leaks related to F1 handling. Messages that have a unit test:
- F1 UE context setup request/response
- F1 UE context modification request/response
- F1 UE context release request/command/complete
This MR removes almost all remaining memory leaks that are observable in
a "standard" configuration, running SISO in RFsim. In RFsim (without
channel modelling), there are only two memory leaks shown in asan, one
in L1, and one in NGAP.
Speed up docker deployment in CI
- Using docker compose up --wait instead of a custom healthcheck script:
from: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/up/
--wait Wait for services to be running|healthy. Implies detached mode.
--wait-timeout Maximum duration in seconds to wait for the project to be running|healthy
- Speeding up the healthchecks by reducing the interval from 1-10s to
0.5s during start period
start_period creates a special period after the start of the container
where the healthcheck is executed every start_interval . During this
time the failures do not count towards the retries counter, but
successes change the status to healthy. This allows container to reach
healthy status much sooner.
- Using init: true to speed up docker compose down/stop
`init: true` initializes the docker container with tini or
alternative: tini is used to collect all the processes and correctly
pass the termination signal to them. This allows the docker container
to be stopped without waiting 10 seconds to kill the container
- Smallest example of this is:
services:
test-init:
image: ubuntu:jammy
command: sleep 10d
Fix concurrency issues happening when a new client connects, sometimes
leading to a total softmodem deadlock.
Key changes:
- Fix sample sending on new client connection: send the first
sample only to the newly connected client.
- Remove the --rfsimulator.hanging-workaround option
- Replace global nb_ue and Sockmutex with nb_cnx and Sockmutex
in rfsimulator_state_t for better concurrency and clarity.
We use the same resource for CSI meas report and RSRP (judging by the
name of the functions), but the memory allocations need to be separate
to avoid a double free:

During refactoring, I had asan errors in the next line. It took me some
time to figure out that a DRB ID 0 is not valid (cf.
get_next_available_drb_id() and get_drb(), they enforce this).

Move the filling of DRBs to set up for UE context setup/modification
request into the corresponding functions, and use malloc() deliberately
to avoid memory leaks. In fact fill_drb_to_be_setup_from_e1_resp()
allocates memory dynamically (and has to do that), so the easiest is to
do the same for DRBs. The most straight-forward way seems to be to then
dynamically allocate all memory for F1 UE context setup/modification
request messages, and free with the corresponding free functions,
which removes a couple of memory leaks.
Similarly to the commit "Use F1 UE context setup/modif Request in
stack", we do both UE context setup/modification response at once
because of some functions that are shared by the MAC message handler.
Use the new, tested F1 UE context setup request and modification
requests in the stack.
We have to do both at once, because there are some functions that are
used by handlers for both messages, notably
- handle_ue_context_drbs_setup()
- handle_ue_context_srbs_setup()
(+ and some functions called by those two). For instance, the first uses
the (new/old) type f1ap_drb_to_be_setup_t/f1ap_drb_to_setup_t which is
shared. The alternative would be to duplicate the functionality
temporarily, and I want to avoid unnecessary code churn.
Reintroduce separate message types to simplify the encoding/decoding,
including shorter names. The old types will be removed once everything
has been migrated to the new encoder/decoder, which should ensure that
everything is properly migrated to the unit-tested encoder/decoders.
Also, for each type of F1 message (F1 UE context setup request,
response, modification request, ...) introduce a separate type to avoid
to mistakenly use wrong fields, which can lead to bugs. In this regard,
the DL PDCP SN bit size in the DRB-ToBeSetup list of the UE context
setup request is optional, as it will also be used in the UE context
modification request DRB SetupMod list (which avoids quite some code
duplication). The encoder checks that this IE is present, though.
The previous condition was wrong: if a UE did not have the assoc_id of
the DU that connected (i.e., it was connected to another DU then the one
disconnecting), it was marked for deletion. Instead, skip those UEs.
This modification aims to improve health status detection by using PRACH IO as
an indicator of the gNB's status (container is marked as "healthy" when the
PRACH IO value in gNB nrL1_stats.log exceeds 0.0 dB.). The new condition accounts
for scenarios where the container may not exit or produce error codes (e.g.,
“sleep” logs or "error code overflow" messages).
- `init: true` initializes the docker container with tini or alternative - it is
used to collect all the processes and correctly pass the termination signal to
them, this allows the docker container to be stopped without waiting 10 seconds
to kill the container
- speeding up the healthchecks by reducing the interval from 1-10s to 0.5s during
start period

F1AP_LIB_FIND_IE() is used to look up elements in a list, but was
hitherto hardcoded to use "protocolIEs" as an intermediate struct. A
follow-up commit will use this macro where we don't have protocolIEs,
but "iE_Extensions". Hence, modify to make it work for that case (and
others) as well.
Introduce generic _F1_CHECK_EXP(), which is like the macros for checking
values (_F1_EQ_CHECK_INT() etc). Reuse the same for introducing
_F1_EQ_CHECK_OPTIONAL_IE that will be used to write the check for
optional fields more concisely.
CP_OPT_BYTE_ARRAY() FREE_OPT_BYTE_ARRAY() are macros to wrap handling of
optional byte arrays.
_F1_MALLOC() simplifies allocations and is similar to asn1cCallocOne(),
but provided to avoid confusion (since more than ASN.1 structures will
use it).
All will be used in the following commits.
Switches the used socket type in pnf_interface.c and vnf_interface.c.

Adds 3 new function pointers to the P5 and P7 VNF structures, allowing to configure which function to use to pack/unpack the messages, as well as unpack the message header, being then used seamlessly regardless of using the FAPI or nFAPI functions.
Adds 3 new function pointers to the P5 and P7 PNF structures, allowing to configure which function to use to pack/unpack the messages, as well as unpack the message header, being then used seamlessly regardless of using the FAPI or nFAPI functions.
Changes the header unpack and message unpack functions to return true on success and false on failure, instead of an int
This change is done in preparation to add the header unpack functions to the VNF and PNF structures as function pointers, used to peek the message headers prior to processing.
Add a faux fapi_nr_p7_message_header_unpack with the same signature as nfapi_nr_p7_message_header_unpack, to be used for the P7 header unpack function pointer.
Print a number of statistics, e.g., rx_ulsch_sdu to track UL MAC stats
timing. Remove unused time_meas_t definitions, and fix the name for the
total gNB scheduler time.
This fixes a lifelock in nr_ue_get_sdu(), because select_logical_channels() would select
a suspended LCID for scheduling, but fill_mac_sdu() would not provide data for it.
The implementation is limited to epoch times that are not more than 5.12 seconds in the future (allowed are up to 10.24 seconds)
and ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration < 5.12 seconds (allowed are up to 90 seconds).
To fix this limitation, the hyper frame number HFN has to be introduced at the OAI UE!
Before, we only considered ta_Common_r17 and the SAT position from SIB19 to compute the initial timing advance value.
This is good enough if the satellite does not move too fast (e.g. GEO satellite).
Now we also consider ta_CommonDrift_r17 and the SAT velocity together with the epoch time from SIB19.
This improves the accuracy of the initial TA computation, esp. for LEO satellite scenarios.
During reestablishment the UE goes back to not synchronized state.
While the synchronizatin is running, we trash frames using the function readFrame().
And when we successfully synchronize, we skip samples to align with the start of the frame using syncInFrame().
In rfsimulator mode, both of these functions send dummy data using the function dummyWrite().
Unfortunately, the writeTimestamp provided to that function was always assuming a duration from RX to TX of NR_UE_CAPABILITY_SLOT_RX_TO_TX.
But in NTN mode, this value is changed when receiving SIB19.
Therefore we have to consider this changed value instead of the static one.
