Make Amarisoft UE sim a RedCap UE
Change Amarisoft UE configuration and gNB of the AW2S pipeline to
be/handle RedCap UEs.
The UE should only connect if the gNB handles RedCap UEs. In the logs,
we should see
[MAC] UE with RNTI 3725 is RedCap
which we check for the first two UEs (one normal UE/absence of this
message, one RedCap UE/presence of this message).
Change the parameters to be redcap (release: 17, redcap: "redcap") on
some UEs, and modify the path to the updated configuration.
Specifically, make UE 1 normal (no RedCap), UE 2 RedCap, UEs 3&4 normal,
UEs 5&6 RedCap, etc.
RedCap UEs should now only be able to connect if the gNB is handling Redcap
UEs, which is done in the parent commit.
Note: this does not actually work. In the pipelines, we see that for
some reason, quectel-CM cannot establish a connection. Manually, it
works though(?)
This is not really used as of now, because most IPs are hardcoded. See
one of the next commits for the use of this.
To make sure that we have the correct IP, there is some code that
verifies that a hardcoded IP and the CN IP would be the same.
Note: need two separate ci_infra.yaml entries, because
- for FlexRIC, the container name is different (is the tutorial CN)
- for RFsim5G E1, we don't have ext-dn => ping UPF
- call scripts for magma MME-based deployment of OAI 5GC in
ci_infra.yaml
- implement the existing python code through scripts (which does the same)
- save the cql file in the repo, which was previously downloaded every
time
- use for porcepix-cn4g and nano-cn4g (un)deployment, ping, perf, in XML
files
- Use scripts to deploy OpenShift-based 5GC in ci_infra.yaml
- Use for oc-cn5g, oc-cn5g-20897, and oc-cn5g-20897-aerial2
for (un)deployment, ping, iperf in relevant XML files
- Convert hardcoded IP addresses to %cn_ip%
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.
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.
- Modify CN deployment and termination functions to include namespace and path parameters.
- Update `Module_UE` class with new attributes for namespace and CN path.
- Integrate `cnID` for OC CN deployment and termination in `epc.py`.
- Extract `cn_id` from XML configurations for CN operations.
- Update XML files to include `cn_id` tag for 5G Core initialization and
termination. (Used in OAIUE and AW2S pipeline, for OC CN deployment. This change
will not affect other CN deployments.)
- Remove unused AmariUE config file, replace by new one - for PLMN 00102
- Change frequency of AW2S pipeline - Move center frequency by 40 MHz to avoid interferency with other setups
in the lab. Set center frequency to ~ 3450 MHz.
