In Bearer Context Modification Request, the security information
field is needed only if we change the PDCP algorithms/keys. Since we
don't, no need to pass it.
Let's keep the old code, maybe the current understanding of the
specifications is wrong.
If the Bearer Context Modification Request does not contain security
information, the PDCP entity shall keep the currently configured security
settings.
Passing -1 for ciphering_algorithm and integrity_algorithm is the way
to implement this logic.
Introduce a boolean to deal with presence/absence of this information
element in Bearer Context Modification Request and add encoding/decoding
in the code.
Note that for decodding the integrity settings may be absent, in which
case we consider NIA0 to be used (no integrity protection). To be refined
if needed.
And for encoding, we always encode integrity settings, even if it's NIA0.
May also be refined if needed.
This was not a big problem, but we were advertising wrong
algorithm and deriving keys using this wrong algorithm in case
DRB ciphering and/or integrity was not active. (Say SRBs
are configured with NIA2 but DRBs are configured without
integrity, we would advertise NIA2 and send the integrity
key derived for NIA2, instead of NIA0 for both.)
It was not a problem because in the PDU Session Resource To Setup
item, there is "securityIndication" which we use to effectively
activate/deactivate the ciphering and/or integrity.
But it did not look clean to see a SecurityInformation with
incorrect data when inspecting the message in wireshark.
So let's use the correct values.
We could also not include the SecurityInformation if both ciphering
and integrity are not used, and only include ciphering if integrity
is not used (because integrity settings are optional).
But then if only integrity is used, we still need to include
ciphering, setting algorithm to NEA0 (no ciphering), because
the ciphering settings are always included.
This logic is too complex, let's use the simple one to always
include SecurityInformation with NEA0 and/or NIA0 if ciphering
and/or integrity is not activated.

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

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

RSSI threshold for PUSCH & PUCCH power control
To prevent ADC railing or "clipping" when the received power is too
large, introduce RSSI threshold parameters for PUSCH and PUCCH, which
are now configured in units of 0.1 dB. Here is how you can configure and
use these thresholds:
1. Configuration:
- Set the pusch_RSSI_Threshold and pucch_RSSI_Threshold parameters in
your configuration file (e.g., gnb.conf) (MACRLC section).
- These parameters define the maximum acceptable RSSI values for
PUSCH and PUCCH, respectively. The unit is either dBm or dBFS,
depending on the RSSI reporting configuration.
2. Usage:
- The nr_limit_tpc function will automatically adjust the Transmit
Power Control (TPC) commands based on the configured RSSI
thresholds.
- If the RSSI exceeds the threshold, the TPC command will be limited
to prevent further increase in power, thereby avoiding ADC
clipping.
Introduce ITTI queue in RRC-to-MAC direction
resolve ue rcc to mac race conditions by a itti queue, but it doesn't
resolve the problem of exact slot we should apply the new cell
configurtion
fhi_72: allow to provide dpdk_iova_mode to xran
- Introduce a gNB configuration option that enables users to select the
desired IOVA mode for DPDK ("PA" or "VA") with dpdk_iova_mode
parameters in fhi_72 configuration section. If not set, the default
remains PA mode to ensure backward compatibility with existing
configurations. Detailed information about IOVA modes, including their
advantages and disadvantages, can be found in the DPDK documentation:
Memory in DPDK Part 2: Deep Dive into IOVA
- Using IOVA VA mode allows DPDK to run without requiring SYS_ADMIN
capability for the docker container.
- Switch to IOVA VA mode in the FHI7.2 pipeline and reduce the required
capabilities for the docker container.
Move UL_INFO structure allocation local to a rx slot processing
UL_INFO is allocated a gNB, so require mutex and obscur information
passing function to function. Instead, make a local UL_INFO per slot,
removing the mutex and making the code easier to understand.
Use UL_INFO on the stack, to simplify the code. move in the same struct
the associated rach, pdu, crc, srs arrays that where pointed from
directly in gNB structure Keep in nfapi the existing logic that make
malloc for theses rach, pdu, crc, srs array lists
Pass only relevant fields, where appropriate.

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

- RAN-gNB-N300-Timing-Phytest-LDPC - Timing phytest 40 MHz scenario from
3619.08 MHz to 3319.68 Mhz
to avoid interference between the SABOX and timing pipeline.

NR gNB improvements for analog beam management
- Improvements at gNB MAC layer to properly handle analog beam
management for all channels
- Simple beam switching mechanism based on UE RSRP report
- Introduced new configuration parameters `pusch_RSSI_Threshold` and `pucch_RSSI_Threshold`
(MACRLC section)
- Added `nr_limit_tpc` function in `gNB_scheduler_primitives.c` to limit TPC based on RSSI
threshold.
- Integrated `nr_limit_tpc` in PUCCH and PUSCH power control
Example Configuration
puxch_RSSI_Threshold takes value between -1280 and 0 and is mapped to range -128.0 dBm/dBFS
to 0.0 dBm/dBFS in 0.1 dB increments. Unit depends on RSSI reporting config.
pucch_RSSI_Threshold = -500; # Set the PUSCH RSSI threshold to -50.0dBm/-50dBFS
pucch_RSSI_Threshold = -600; # Set the PUCCH RSSI threshold to -60.0dBm/-60dBFS
chore(ci): improved errors messages visibility
1. There was a trailing && before $BUILD_OPTIONS in the command line
2. Added leading lines and more pattern to the grep command that

nrLDPC_coding: improvements
One improvement in this changeset: Functions nr_interleaving_ldpc,
nr_deinterleaving_ldpc, nr_rate_matching_ldpc and
nr_rate_matching_ldpc_rx that were previously linked with the PHY layer
in the executables are now linked with the LDPC coding implementations
where they are called.
The parent commit cleans up and groups oai_exit in one place,
nr-softmodem-common.h. Therefore, this 5G file is included in the 4G
defs_common.h (at least it's mostly 4G), which is not nice. Instead,
define oai_exit also in 4G softmodem-common.h, and include this in
defs_common.h. Remove the cyclic inclusion of defs_common.h in
softmodem-common.h, and resolve all subsequent errors around unknown
types and extern definition mismatches.
Commit d641a76196 ("fix BSR report malformed, add SHORT BSR when it
can") removed code to fill the remainder of a TB, if it is not filled
with data from RLC, with random data when using phy-test or do-ra modes.
This random data filling is intentional, as it might prove useful for
demos or when debugging (e.g., to see used spectrum instead of 0, etc.).
Reintroduce the functionality, but unlike the original code, make it
dependent on the mode, not RFsim.
See also discussion in #888.
Fixup: d641a76196
Reduce race conditions through a itti queue, such that RRC-initiated MAC
memory modifications happen at the same time as MAC thread writes.
However, it doesn't resolve the problem of exact slot we should apply

This assert checks if the structure is correctly initialized. The structure
is one-time use so the assert is valid, but the value of the atomic was added
to the output to improve debugging.

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

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

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

SIB19 utilization on UE
Following SIB19 initialization and scheduling on gNB (!2899 - merged)
and Receive SIB19 on nrUE (!2920 - merged), this merge request aims to
introduce the actual use of the SIB19 provided parameters by gNB in UE.
Changes needed for utilization include: initialization of position
coordinates parameters for UE (which are needed to calculate propagation
delay between UE and SAT), propagation delay calculations and timing
advance adjusts. Moreover, this change removes the now unused arguments
for ntn_koffset, ntn_ta_common and ntn_ta_commondrift
GTP: use direct call instead of ITTI
Using ITTI calls for user plane implies (1) a memory allocation, (2)
mutexes, and (3) queueing messages for each user plane packet, which is
heavy. Use a direct API call instead to reduce overhead.
It seems that the cyclic prefix is in most cases a multiple of 512 samples.
This means that in most cases the idft output pointer is already aligned and
there is no need to perform an extra memcpy. This saves the memcpy time in
most cyclic prefix insertion cases.
More complex implementations will be achieved using the new reworked interface
- t_nrLDPC_dec_params: remove F, Qm, rv and perCB
- encoder_implemparams_t: remove Qm, Tbslbrm, G, rv and perCB
- Remove all variables (like OPENAIR1), they serve no purpose and make
unnecessarily long lines
- Remove linking to T, it does not seem to be necessary
- Avoid intermediate variables to keep sources, and declare libraries
directly, making for shorter code
NGAP Failure message - Initial Context Setup Failure.
When an Initial Context Setup Request is received with the UE context as null, it triggers Initial Context Setup failure.
Fix several issues in ulsch_mmse_2layers
Fix incorrect array type of determ_fin which was set to int32_t while the
array holds the results of simde_mm_abs_epi32 which produces unsigned
values.
Remove assert on right-shifting negative integers as it is impossible for
determ_fin to hold negative values.
Change type of sum_det to uint32_t to prevent possible overflow. Fix
the type cast (int -> uint32_t) to prevent casting before shift in
nr_ulsch_comp_muli_sum which might have resulted in right shifting
negative integers.
Closes: #753
UE data race fix
When a new sync request is sent to PHY, we clear harq buffer and start
synchronization process. This could lead to unexpected behavior or segv
because DL actors might be using the buffer we just cleared. To avoid
this, the DL actors are shutdown and re initiated before clearing harq
info.
Some users copy libxran.so to a system directory (e.g., /usr/local/lib).
At the same time, we require xran_LOCATION to be set to find the build
directory. Use HINTS to prefer the location passed through
xran_LOCATION.
Also, use NO_DEFAULT_PATH to outright disallow global scope, to prevent
"accidentally" finding libxran.so in global scope (this is for
multi-user systems that are used in development, and where people have
different version of libxran for testing purposes). To still use
packages in e.g., /usr/local/, it would be possible to set xran_LOCATION
to this directory. (there is a problem that the version information will
likely not be read correctly, so this might not be enough)
B200 with high clock drift will go out of sync within 280ms which was
the default duration to sync in with iqrecorder. Now this value can be
specified via cmd line so the user can change it according to needs.
Set the number of barriers to 512 and implement proper slot and frame
based selection. Now the dynamic barriers should not be overwritten in
case the rx-to-tx offset is high. The maximum offset supported is 512.
- Removed ntn_koffset, ntn_ta_common, ntn_ta_commondrift arguments in order to be used directly from SIB19
- Removed global NTN_UE_Koffset variable and it's use
- Introduced getter functions for ntn related parameters
Using ITTI calls for user plane implies (1) a memory allocation, (2)
mutexes, and (3) queueing messages for each user plane packet, which is
heavy. Use a direct API call instead to reduce overhead.
- Added new structure to hold timing advance parameters
- Made SIB19 related calculation to save to this struct
- Modified in ra to get ta struct values
Move handling of sync request from MAC from UE_dl_preprocessing(). This
will process the sync request before receiving the samples of current
slot from radio so we don't 'lose' the slot.

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

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

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

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

Ue monitoring stats
- one commit to add UE mac stats similar to gNB one and remove a partial
implementation at phy level of some counters
- second commit only rename the two UE persisted HARQ tyepdef names for DL
and for UL (one was saying "UE" but not the direction and the second the
direction but not "UE")
The asserts might be used to intentionally stop the running process.
Further, it might be an annoyance if it happen unintentionally. Just
print an error message instead, and return to FlexRIC that nothing is to
be sent.
The CI pipeline RAN-NSA-B200-Module-LTEBOX-Container uses the same core
network (ltebox) as the pipelines RAN-LTE-{TDD,FDD}-LTEBOX-Container,
triggered through the same XML files. However, the core networks are on
different hosts, configured through (Jenkins) pipeline configuration. A
future MR will move the entire core network configuration into the XML
files [1]. To facilitate this, create separate XML files for the NSA
pipeline.
[1] The advantage is that it will be easier to reason with only the XML
files what is going to be run where and how.
Fix a small bug with total_res in gNB PUSCH symbol processing
Replaced total_res with res_per_task when deciding whether to start a threadpool
task or not. This does not have big impact on the software as the
nr_pusch_symbol_processing will recheck ul_valid_re_per_slot anyway but it may
reduce the number of thread pool tasks created.
- identification of each parameter in fh_init and fh_config structs
- identification of unused parameters in xran library
- identification of parameters used for CAT A O-RU
=> CAT B not supported in this release
- pass parameter directly instead of indirectly via class
- harmonize to svr_id to harmonize parameter with parameters in the next
commit (and towards a future harmonization of directly taking node
names instead of "IDs")
The queue for finished jobs of PUSCH channel estimation is only used inside
nr_pusch_channel_estimation(). Since initialization is fast, it can be
declared on the stack in the function where it is used.
This commit enables the optional use of Tracy for profiling NR UE & gNB.
See https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy/releases/tag/v0.11.1 for details.
How to compile:
use -DTRACY_ENABLE=ON to enable instrumentation and sampling
For gNB currently only sampling is implemented.
How to collect data:
- Windows hosts: tracy-profiler.exe in link above
- Linux hosts: Compile tracy-profiler from source
Enabling collection from docker:
- open port 8086
- to collect cpu data
--privileged
--mount "type=bind,source=/sys/kernel/debug,target=/sys/kernel/debug,readonly"
--user 0:0
--pid=host
How to add instrumentation:

Fix error reported by the T2 card when running nr_dlsim with 4 DL layers.
Error can be reproduced by running:
./nr_dlsim -n100 -s30 -e25 -b273 -R273 -x4 -z4 -y4 -P --ldpc_offload.dpdk_dev 41:00.0 -c
So far we set NR_LDPC_MAX_NUM_CB to 72, which is sufficient for max 2 DL layers.
Set max possible number of LDPC segments based on the max number of layers
and max number of DLSCH segments (currently it is 144).

There seem to be randomly occurring deadlocks when running the UE in the

by increasing the number of worker pools in the UE to 12.

it has been removed from the documentation.
For users reading recent documentation, but running an older version of
OAI, there might be a mismatch in that --sa is necessary to run OAI, but
not given in the documentation. Provide explanatory text to make users
aware of this.

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

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

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

Extract nr_ra_procedures.c into a separate library and add a testcase for init_RA function.
The testcase redefines the following functions as stubs:
- nr_mac_rrc_ra_ind
- nr_write_ce_ulsch_pdu
- mac_rlc_data_req
- *lockGet_ul_config
- release_ul_config
- remove_ul_config_last_item
- nr_ue_configure_pucch
These stubs can be used to check init_RA behavior
CI: Cleanup of cls_physim.py
- Remove unused code and file
- Rework functions for CUDA and T2 log analysis
- Check if test was successful for nr_ulsim and nr_dlsim in
RAN-gNB-N300-Timing-Phytest-LDPC pipeline
Set SA mode as default
- Set standalone (SA) mode as the default.
- Adjust commands in Docker Compose files by removing --sa flags and
adding --nsa flags where applicable.
- Add a function to verify that only one mode is being used at a time.
- Update all relevant documentation.
In the last commits, SSHconnection class has been removed from
cls_containerize.py. We therefore don't need the username and password,
as cls_cmd uses certificates only. Remove the usage of the username and
the password, and harmonize the use of GetCredentials().
Recent refactoring replaced the CreateWorkspace function call with a
dedicated XML step (for clarity, and because it avoids needless
recreation of workspaces). In the proxy function, the same
CreateWorkspace xml step has been added, cloning the OAI RAN repo, when
we actually need the repository for the proxy. Hence, fix this by
calling the CreateWorkspace() function manually, but only when
necessary, to build the proxy. (It would only be a problem if the
pipeline would rebuild the proxy, which did not happen because not much
work is happening on the proxy repo).
Further, refactoring and simplication of the proxy build function were
done:
- never tag proxy with develop, that makes no sense
- overwrite CreateWorkspace() info after having created and used the
workspace (the "if" to build the proxy)
- simplify copying of logs
- add simple unit test
- remove check for ubuntu; the dependcy is "docker". Simplify the code
to not obscure with a class variable.
The first thing Build_Proxy does is to remove the repository. Further,
Build_Proxy does not use the OAI RAN repo, but the proxy repo. The
Create_Workspace() is therefore completely useless.
Remove CheckAndAddRoute(), as it is complicated to read, uses a
multitude of hostname/IP/password combinations. Replace with scripts on
the machines, which, as of this commit, are:
- porcepix: ~/after-reboot.sh
- ofqot: ~/after-reboot.sh
- nepes: ~/after-reboot.sh
- obelix: ~/how-to-resetup-obelix-out-of-reboot.sh
It is clearer in CI logs to use absolute paths, and that is also a
"preference" of the new SSH class (cls_cmd.py) in the sense that some
functions don't handle "cd" gracefully (because of underlying Python
library paramiko).
For zip, though, we should change to have nice relative paths in the
archives, so use cd <path> && zip ... to achieve that, instead of
changing to a directory. This way, the path on which we operate is still
visible in the logs in each line.
The clang build fails with
/oai-ran/openair1/PHY/MODULATION/gen_75KHz.cpp:16:23: error: variable length arrays in C++ are a Clang extension [-Werror,-Wvla-cxx-extension]
16 | complex<double> t[len];
| ^~~
/oai-ran/openair1/PHY/MODULATION/gen_75KHz.cpp:16:23: note: function parameter 'len' with unknown value cannot be used in a constant expression
So ignore this warning (and make the build pass), since OAI uses VLAs in
various places.
The previous version would put the user-defined options first. However,
the default options include e.g., -Wall. If a user tries to override
(see for instance the next commit) -Wall or other options might override
this and not honor the user choice.
To always have the user have the last work, put user-defined compile
options last.
THere are four possibilities, for the three options (phy_test, do_ra,
nsa):
- None is set -> SA
- Only one is set of each -> corresponding mode
Introduce a function softmodem_verify_mode() to check for these.
- Introduce "Run_Physim" function for running ldpctest (with CUDA) and
nr_dlsim/nr_ulsim (with T2) in RAN-gNB-N300-Timing-Phytest-LDPC test
pipeline.
- Create "cls_analysis.py" and introduce "analyze_physim" for
log analysis of physim tests.
- Define patterns to be searched in the physim logs.
- Extract and print information about total gNB RX/TX PHY processing time
from nr_ulsim/nr_dlsim logs.
- Remove "cls_physim.py" as it is not used anymore, cleanup "main.py".
fix blocking bugs in command nr_dlsim -n100 -e27 -s35 -b 273 -R273 -x4 -y4 -z4
errors in main OAI code:
- one stack overflow
- one variable array of size 0
- one direct usage of unaligned SIMD
and small fixes inside the tests tool nr_dlsim to handle this large configuration (4layers, 100MHz)
use a better complex vector multiplication function
Since commit 041b2b2d7a, the CI main loop
iterates over all steps, even if there has been a problem during an
earlier XML step. In all cases, UndeployObject() is marked to always
run, as we always need to make sure that all deployed services are
terminated. UndeployObject() always recovers logs. Hence, it's not
necessary to do it here as well; it leads to duplicated logs.
This is visible in all pipeline with a failed deployment: the logs
appear twice.
create_workspace.sh used to check out develop by default. However, this
is unnecessary because the script later checks out a specific reference
(which can be a commit ID, which is not accepted by git clone, the
reason we don't check out during clone); the repository will simply be
empty in the beginning, which should not be a problem.
Further, it is problematic because we use this script for the build of
the L2sim proxy, and the repository does not have develop; thus, without
this modification, L2sim proxy build will always fail.
- simplify the code
- prevent to use "beta" tables from one decoder run to the next one (to see it
is the case, don't initialize beta, you will see it doesn't decode)
- decrease memory footprint of the decoder by x10 or more
- save about 15% of cpu in polartest unitary test tool, and more if we run in
realistic use case
- still this decoder performs much worse than the (very) slow OAI version by 3dB
telnetsrv uses the Intel/AMD-specific "cpuid" instruction, which is not
available on ARM machines. Remove the call.
The previous code was checking for the number of cores, which is
retained by a call to get_nprocs(). I did not find an equivalent for the
number of threads in C. In C++, there would be
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread/hardware_concurrency, in
case it's relevant for anybody.
Also, add it to the cross-compilation pipeline
csiim_vars/csirs_vars used to be global array for each UE. Now its present
in phy_data which is in dynamically allocated memory.
MAC config was done without mutex while DL and UL threads could be running
at the same time.
get_ue_nas_info was allocating memory possibly from more than one thread.
Moved it into new init function for UE NAS layer.
Addreses most issues in #869
The goal of this MR is to improve readability, maintainability and consistency
of gNB initialization functions.
This MR is:

- refactoring init_gNB, l1_north_init_gNB, RCconfig_NR_L1, NRRCConfig
- removing redundant memory allocation for gNB RAN context and L1 instances
- cleaning up redundant log lines

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

small fix for 3 digit mnc usage in sib1
When 3 digit MNC is used in PLMN, during preparation of SIB1, first
digit of MNC was not taking into account. UE derives Serving Network
Name (SNN) using PLMN info from sib1. Because of 5GCore and UE has
different SNNs, this leads to XRES*, RES* mismatch during Authentication
Procedure between 5GCore and UE. (SNN is used for derivation of these
keys)
Add functional DFT test
- clean up code on (i)dft calls
- add DFT test for some DFT sizes against trivial implementation: it
tests a simple square signal in only real values
- correctly scale DFT-16
Moved some functions around so that instead of a function pointer a function
call is used. This enables inlining of functions which reduces number of function calls.
During preparation of SIB1, first digit of MNC was not taking into account.
This leads to XRES*, RES* mismatch during Authentication Procedure between 5GCore and UE because of derived serving network names.
This commit removes many logs that just show memory addresses, indices,
etc., which, I presume, do not mean anything to the "average user" and
developers alike.

Update yaml-cpp dependency handling
- Added CPM fallback in case package is not found automatically.
- Using yaml-cpp::yaml-cpp target instead of yaml-cpp to silence
deprecation warnings on newer cmake versions.
By omitting the variable CPM_SOURCE_CACHE as CACHE'd, it is actually
given to CPM, but does not appear when viewing it's content, e.g.,
through ccmake. Mark is as CACHE so that it will also appear.

Add F1 Handover procedures
- Clean up at RRC and MAC
- Add DU handover procedures, completely handle CellGroupConfig at DU
- Add CU handover procedures
- Maintain reestablishment working between/after handover
- Changes at UE to resync on different frequency DUs
Instructions: see doc/handover-tutorial.md
Things not implemented/open/missing: see #855
When receiving a measurement report including an A3 event, trigger
handover towards the indicated cell.
Note that currently, we are still limited to one Cell by DU, hence
looking up a cell comes down to looking up a DU, as is done here.

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

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

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

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

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

Functions get_qos_char_from_qos_flow_param() and

information for handover. Move the definitions to a header to reuse
later.

trigger a handover.

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

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

by RNTI, remove it also from RA.

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

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

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

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

The problem is that the corresponding definition of
get_nrUE_params() in psbchsim.c does not actually return the UE params,
but void, so we might or might not get something that resembles valid
data in nr_adjust_synch_ue.c. Fix this by including nr-uesoftmodem.h
(that provides the correct declaration) and define it correctly. Due to
type mismatches, also adapt downlink_frequency, uplink_frequency_offset,
and openair_cfg (which might result in the same type of bugs).
This adds DTX detection in PUCCH 2 receiver. This is detected by MAC
already which will drop PUCCH 2 indications that are detected as DTX.
For the moment this uses the same pucch0_dtx_threshold value indicated
in L1 section of the configuration file. The feature firstly reduces
unnecessary logging on stdout and the use of invalid CSI measurements in
the MAC scheduler.

The benchmark can be used to verify processing time improvements for NR RLC AM

communication channel between them with 10% loss packet loss and 100:1 PDU sent
ratio. This allows the lists in RLC to build up and triggers RLC AM code

This hotfix removes division by num_antenna_ports in PDSCH precoding matrix generation.
These matrices are defined for CSI reporting in this way but here we are using them for

This changes the way T_IDs are defined. The T_ID macro was using a
integer to pointer cast in order to provide type safety. This trick
disables some compiler optimizations, as explained here:
https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/performance/no-int-to-ptr.html.
Removing the type cast reenables the compiler optimizations.

(I interpret this as "do not set up AS security again")
In this commit, handle if we receive an Initial Context Setup Request
for an existing UE context. As said in the spec, we store the keys. If
security is not active, we trigger RRC Security Mode Command. If it is
active, we skip Security, and directly set up a PDU session. If there is
also no PDU session, we simply forward the NAS message, and acknowledge.
If there was no AS security, after security, the gNB would trigger the
setup of PDU sessions (if any), and then forward any NAS PDUs, which is
stated in the if block if AS security is already active.
This changes the way T_IDs are defined. The T_ID macro was using a integer to pointer cast in
order to provide type safety. This trick disables some compiler optimizations, as explained
here: https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/performance/no-int-to-ptr.html.
Removing the type cast reenables the compiler optimizations.
Prior to this commit, the include path for some libraries found through
pkg-config when cross compiling is not correct:
$ grep include CMakeCache.txt
blas_INCLUDEDIR:INTERNAL=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
...
This is because we did not tell pkg-config to search in the right path.
Since for cross-compilation, we install packages in parallel in the
system, override the primary directory where the .pc files located, in
the cross-compilation toolchain file for cmake.
Closes: #746
Since long long is the bigger type ( 8 bytes ) of the two used ( long long and uint32_t ),
and long long is also available on ARM, change this parameter to always have this type.
This allows to always use format specifier '%lld' in the logs that use TICK_TO_US, which would otherwise return long long or uint32_t depending on architecture.
Set a maximum SNR value using the "-S" option to ensure that nr_dlsim
or nr_ulsim is executed only for a given SNR. This approach allows us
to verify the success of the encoding/decoding process at the specified
SNR. Check if the test succeeds is not yet implemented (currently we
only retrieve an information about encoding/decoding processing time).
To be implemented in the separate MR.
Always execute all the nr_dlsim/nr_ulsim tests even if one of them
fails. Each test takes around 5s, so we can execute them all to get
results for all the test scenarios.
which will drop PUCCH 2 indications that are detected as DTX. For the
moment this uses the same pucch0_dtx_threshold value indicated in L1
section of the configuration file.
rrc_gNB_process_security() does not only set (process) the security
algorithms, but also checks for those. However, we don't use the check.
Simplify the function, to reintroduce the check later. Rename to
set_UE_security_algos() to better reflect what the functions do.

When compiling aerial, we compile without CUDA support (see e.g.,
docker/Dockerfile.gNB.aerial.ubuntu22). Hence, do not check for it in
aerial for the moment, we won't use it for the foreseeable future.
In Aerial bindings (FAPI-Aerial), the NFAPI mode must be
NFAPI_MODE_AERIAL (otherwise, we would not be executing this code).
Hence, the switches don't make sense. Remove them.
The check can more easily be checked with
git show <commit> --ignore-all-space
As is visible at the top of the patch, for compiling aerial_lib (the
binding FAPI-Aerial), we always add ENABLE_AERIAL. Thus, all the code
within ENABLE_AERIAL will be compiled; we can also simply take it out.
We can directly read from buffers, so the memcpy() only takes time.
Also, limit the scope of the variables for the unpacking of
RX_DATA.indication.

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

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

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

* _F1_EQ_CHECK_GENERIC can be used to check the equality of two different members of F1AP structs
and return `false` if the condition is not met.

Add a new target f1ap_lib that groups F1AP ASN.1 encoding&decoding for
messages defined f1ap_messages_types.h. The objective is to, for each
F1AP message,
- add encoder&decoder (similar to what already exists, but without
mandatory message sending afterwards)
- eq_X() function that checks two messages for equality (to be used
mostly in tests)
- cp_X() function that deep-copies a message, e.g., to be used when
sending ITTI messages, instead of manual copying done currently
- free_X() function that frees the memory associated to a memory, to
avoid memory leaks.
Each message will be tested, notably that encoding&decoding as well as
copying yield identical messages.
The actual message encoding & decoding, tests, and their use will be
done in the forthcoming commits.
The currently used type does not cover all possibilities. While we don't
encode&decode them, it might still be good to be able to express it, so
introduce the new type.

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

xran has a mechanism to request DPDK to allocate a configurable amount
of bytes for huge pages. We set it to 0 until now; expose this variable

The F1AP UE context release procedure can happen in at least two cases:
1. core requested a release of a UE
2. CU requests DU a release of a UE without a core release (e.g.,
handover)
In case 1., the CU has to fully release the UE in the CU, then ack the
NGAP message from the core, whilst in 2., nothing of that should happen
after the DU acknowledges the F1AP UE context release cmd.
cuup_notify_reestablishment() used
&ue_p->established_drbs[drb_id]
to look up a bearer, which is wrong, because it should be drb_id - 1
as in the top of the loop. Also, it used the dedicated get_drb()
function; harmonize to use only this function.
A follow-up commit refactors the filling of information of DRBs to set
up in a separate function (to be reused for handover later). Hence, we
cannot store the DRB TEID/address in the same functions, because it is
a logically separate step, and might not always be available.
In e1_send_bearer_updates(), we send the DL (DU) TEID and address to the
CU-UP. Therefore, correct the variable names to reflect that the F1-U
information pertains to the DU.
Also, move the tunnel info update function f1u_dl_gtp_update() to a more
prominent place, and take the pointer to the struct containing the
"interesting" information.
A maximum RRC buffer size of 1024 might be very small. We should
increase it, but then the 5G RRC_BUF_SIZE does conflict with other
definitions. To make it unique, also rename to NR_RRC_BUF_SIZE.
Always set the firstActive and defaultBWP in the initial
cellGroupConfig. This is necessary to make the Quectel accept the
handover RRCReconfiguration; it seems that this also works reliably in
normal connection set up, so we can add it.
Pass consistently the NR_timer_t object through a pointer. Since we have
to modify all occurrences of is_nr_timer_active(), we use that occasion
and rename that function to nr_timer_is_active() to make it consistent
with all other functions, starting with nr_timer.
Reorganize the sequence of checks done in reestablishment to make it
more logical:
- check conditions of request (correct C-RNTI)
- check conditions of DU (has MIB/SIB1, MTC)
- check the UE, and from which DU it comes
This will also help to extend it towards reestablishment coming from
different DUs in the case of handover.
Before this bug fix, when using F1, we get this warning:
Constraint validation failed: LCID: constraint failed (/home/richie/openairinterface5g/cmake_targets/ran_build/build/openair2/F1AP/MESSAGES/F1AP_LCID.c:30)
This is because (1) we don't actually store the LCID, then (2) we did
not put it into the F1 ASN.1 structures. Fix both, to make this warning
disappear.
To actually print the full error message, increase the error buffer
size. Also, for the future, to avoid guessing, print ASN.1 XML when we
encounter a failed constraint validation.
It can happen that SCTP communication is simply lost, e.g.
[SCTP] SCTP_ASSOC_CHANGE to SCTP_COMM_LOST
[SCTP] sctp_recvmsg (fd 104, len -1 ): Connection reset by peer:104
The previous code only handled the SHUTDOWN event, but in abnormal
situations, we should also handle the connection state change and signal
to RRC that the endpoint is dead, which is now implemented.
User of the SCTP module use the assoc_id for connection identification.
The previous code set the assoc_id to -1, so there is no way of telling
which connection broke. Use the assoc_id instead
The failure mode observed here was that the CU sent a release command
for a UE that the DU does not know. Given, that the outcome of the
release command (no UE) is equal to the current state (no UE), from
the DU point of view, we can safely ack the command.
This is a temporary workaround for issue with UE PHY not applying TX power
instructions from MAC. To be reverted once implementation of TX gain control
is finished.

versions of the package whenever another one is installed. This means that installing the arm version
breaks amd version and vice versa. This makes it impossible to have both libs installed at the same
time which is required by the cross-compilation build command (it calls cmake twice, once with native
and once with target architecture)
This commit introduces a substitute module library for setting up softmodems using YAML instead of libconfig.
The softmodems should work the same with both types of files. Extra care was put to make sure the behavior
of both modules is the same.
Example yaml config files were added for the UE and gNB
pdschRxdataF_comp data source was handled incorrectly. Each symbol entire slot data was copied. This
caused pdschRxdataF_comp to mostly contain zeros. The call to UEscopeCopy was moved from symbol loop
into last symbol processing. In case imscope is used padding and unused REs are not copied to the
sink.
Added checks inside scope functions to ensure correct functionality.
A new phy scope based on ImGui and ImPlot. This scope uses a different concurrency model than previous
scopes.
The PHY thread writing the data first checks if the data is ready to be written. If its not, nothing is copied.
The GUI thread reads data if available and marks it ready to write. This makes sure that the PHY threads are not
busy copying data that would never be displayed.
Some of the scopes also have a freeze functionality that further limit the amount of data that needs to be copied
from PHY threads. If a scope is "frozen" it still allows the user to explore the data using plots zoom/pan functions
but doesn't cause PHY threads to perform extra writes on the displayed data.
A compile option was added to enable/disable the scope. Use cmake -DENABLE_IMSCOPE=ON to enable the scope.
Update CXX standard to 17; it is required by some libraries (e.g., dear imgui). The oldest gcc version in
use by a distribution supported is Ubuntu 20, which has gcc 9.4 with c++17 support.
According to the ThreadPoolExecutor documentation [1], the default
number of maximum workers min(32, os.cpu_count() + 4). The problem is
that we execute many pipelines from nano, on which os.cpu_count()
reports 4, so we can only have up to 8 concurrent workers by default.
This leads to the fact that on pipelines with many UEs (e.g.,
AW2S-AmariUE), we don't ping/iperf on all UEs at the same time.
Fix this by increasing the number of workers to 64. This should be fine,
as there is almost no real work being done in the Workers (only opening
a shell and execute programs such as ping/iperf).

There was concern that someone in the future might call the function
with the wrong inputs. So, based on the discussion on the MR below
https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g/-/merge_requests/2916#note_132506
the SIMD for multiplying DMRS vector with amplitude is removed and is
now done with plain C (no SIMD).
The execution time for the function dmrs_amp_mult() in this commit is
10x higher that the previous commit.
It is better to write to memory that are grouped together to reduce
probability of cache miss. This simple change improved the function's
execution speed by 70%.
Removed the unnecessary memset for the buffer.

These scripts are used by a Jenkins [job](../Jenkinsfile-colosseum) to trigger automated testing of OpenAirInterface (OAI) gNB and softUE on the [Colosseum](https://www.northeastern.edu/colosseum/) Open RAN digital twin.
Once a test is triggered, a new OAI LXC container at the specified OAI version will be built on Colosseum (if not already present), and gNB and softUE will perform TCP uplink and downlink connectivity test via the iPerf [tool](https://iperf.fr/).
The OAI branch to build and test can be specified through the `eNB_Branch` parameter passed through Jenkins (`eNB_TargetBranch`, which defaults to the `develop` branch, is used if `eNB_Branch` is not specified).
The Colosseum network scenario to test is specified through the `Colosseum_Rf_Scenario` Jenkins parameter, which defaults to a base Colosseum scenario without artificially added channel effects (e.g., only hardware impariments of software-defined radios, cables, and channel emulator).
Once the test ends, results are analyzed through the OAI automated test report generation tool available [here](https://github.com/ztouchnetworks/openairinterface-automated-test-reports), which builds a test report from the iPerf and OAI logs, and marks the test as successful or unsuccessful.
Results from successful tests are saved in history files and used to compare more recent tests.
A test is considered successful if the downlink throughput achieved during the test is greather than or equal to the average of the test history, which spans successful test executed since May 2024.
This is used to identify possible regressions of OAI runs executed on the Colosseum testbed.
