DCI 00 alt size fix
DCI size for format 00 and 10 should be equal so we need to compute the size of
the alternative format when computing the size of DCIX0. There was a bug where
the alt_size input (0 in that case) was taken into account also when computing
that alternative size, resulting in an alt_size of 0. Possibly easier to
understand by looking at the code then reading this description.
Remove NR L2 simulator code from UE
This MR removes NR (SA and NSA) L2 simulator from the codebase. The code, at
least at the UE side, was done at a time where there was no clear L2/L1 split
leading to a complex implementation that never worked as expected. The L2
simulator has been broken and removed from testing for long time and, once it
needs to be revived, it would require a complete new implementation.
separate computation of size and value for DCI precoding information
This removes stuff that is only relevant for the gNB from the common
functions and moves it to the gNB scheduler functions (related to UL
precoding). In principle no functional change.
Improvements to the FHI for enabling further use cases
These changes to the FHI were primarily thought to enable the integration of
the intel ACC ( !3344 ) in parallel of the FHI.
I preferred to make a separate MR because I believe this topic is orthogonal
enough to be handled separately and because I wanted to bring even further
improvements.
The improvements that it actually brings are:
- Enable compiling and running xran F release with DPDK 21+
- Enable including a BBDEV device in addition of the ethernet device for the
FHI when performing EAL init, which is necessary for using the intel ACC
with the FHI.
- Fix an issue in usage of pkgconfig in xran E and F release. This enables to
reliably build xran with the version of DPDK requested to pkgconfig while
before this fix xran was always selecting the headers installed in /usr/local.
Split out type and function definitions for a cleaner separation for
some consumers of these functions. Concretely, nr_mac_common.h includes
various ASN.1 NR RRC headers, but not all consumers of these APIs might
need these headers. For instance, the next commit will use these
functions in the driver for 7.2 (it needs to compute PRACH length), but
the driver itself does not depend on nor does it need the ASN.1 NR RRC
headers. Defining a new header avoids the problem.
Fixed a data race between DL processing of RAR and UL scheduler, which
might result in dropping MSG3.
It was possible that the UL scheduler for the UL slot which RAR
indicates as MSG3 slot was already run by the time the RAR was decoded.
Therefore when DCI for RAR is decoded, assume worst case and halt the
earliest corresponding UL scheduler call until RAR is decoded solving
the data race. This also in turn halts all later scheduling due to
sequential nature of the UL scheduler calls.
Bugfix for number of PRBs in PUCCH format 2
[TS 38.213 - Section 9.2.1 PUCCH Resource Sets] If the format indicates
PUCCH-format2 or PUCCH-format3, the PUCCH format configured for a PUCCH resource
is PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3, respectively, where the PUCCH resource also
includes a number of PRBs provided by nrofPRBs, a number of symbols for a PUCCH
transmission provided by nrofSymbols, and a first symbol for the PUCCH
transmission provided by startingSymbolIndex.
[TS 38.213 - Section 9.2.3 UE procedure for reporting HARQ-ACK] If a UE transmits
a PUCCH with O_ACK HARQ-ACK information bits and O_CRC bits using PUCCH format 2
or PUCCH format 3 in a PUCCH resource that includes M_PUCCH_RB PRBs, the UE
determines a number of PRBs M_PUCCH_RB_min for the PUCCH transmission to be the
minimum number of PRBs (...)
[TS 38.213 - Section 9.2.5.1 UE procedure for multiplexing HARQ-ACK or CSI and
SR in a PUCCH] If a UE transmits a PUCCH with O_ACK HARQ-ACK information bits,
O_SR = ⌈log2(K+1)⌉ SR bits, and O_CRC CRC bits using PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH
format 3 in a PUCCH resource that includes M_PUCCH_RB PRBs, the UE determines
a number of PRBs M_PUCCH_RB_min for the PUCCH transmission to be the minimum
number of PRBs (...)
[TS 38.213 - Section 9.2.5.2 UE procedure for multiplexing HARQ-ACK/SR/CSI in
a PUCCH] If a UE has HARQ-ACK, SR and wideband or sub-band CSI reports to
transmit and the UE determines a PUCCH resource with PUCCH format 2, or the UE
has HARQ-ACK, SR and wideband CSI reports to transmit and the UE determines a
PUCCH resource with PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4, where (...) the UE
transmits the HARQ-ACK, SR, and CSI reports bits by selecting the minimum number
PUCCH M_PUCCH_RB_min of the M_PUCCH_RB PRBs satisfying (...)
[TS 38.213 - Section 9.2.5.2 UE procedure for multiplexing HARQ-ACK/SR/CSI in a
PUCCH] If a UE has one or more CSI reports and zero or more HARQ-ACK/SR
information bits to transmit in a PUCCH where the HARQ-ACK, if any, is in
response to a PDSCH reception without a corresponding PDCCH; if any of the CSI
reports are overlapping (...); else, the UE transmits the
O_ACK + O_SR + O_CSI + O_CRC bits in a PUCCH resource provided by
pucch-CSI-ResourceList and determined as described in clause 9.2.5
Therefore, the number of PRBs to be used by PUCCH-format2 is M_PUCCH_RB_min,
except if we have zero HARQ-ACK bits, or if we have any HARQ-ACK, is in response
to a PDSCH reception without a corresponding PDCCH. In this case, we must use
the resources indicated in the pucch-CSI-ResourceList and determined as described
in clause 9.2.5.
In OAI, we have:
asn1cSeqAdd(&csirep->reportConfigType.choice.periodic->pucch_CSI_ResourceList.list, pucchcsires);
Where the resource added to the list corresponds to:
pucchres2->pucch_ResourceId = *pucchressetid;
pucchres2->startingPRB = 0;
pucchres2->intraSlotFrequencyHopping = NULL;
pucchres2->secondHopPRB = NULL;
pucchres2->format.present = NR_PUCCH_Resource__format_PR_format2;
pucchres2->format.choice.format2 = calloc(1,sizeof(*pucchres2->format.choice.format2));
pucchres2->format.choice.format2->nrofPRBs = 8;
pucchres2->format.choice.format2->nrofSymbols = 1;
pucchres2->format.choice.format2->startingSymbolIndex = 13;
Currently, in develop branch, we get these prb_size for PUCCH-format2:
[NR_RRC] NGAP_PDUSESSION_SETUP_RESP: sending the message
[NGAP] pdusession_setup_resp_p: pdusession ID 1, gnb_addr 172.31.0.1, SIZE 4, TEID 1579669408
[NR_MAC] (596.3) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 4
[NR_MAC] (596.4) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 3
[NR_MAC] (600.3) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 4
[NR_MAC] (600.4) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 3
[NR_MAC] (604.3) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 4
[NR_MAC] (604.4) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 3
[NR_MAC] (608.3) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 4
While in QXDM we have Num RB = 8, whenever we have zero HARQ-ACK bits:
UCI Request BMask = ACK_NACK_RPT | CSI_RPT
Start symbol = 13
Num Symbols = 1
Starting RB = 0
REL16 DMRS EN = 0
Dual Pol Status = 0
Num RB = 2
Freq Hopping Flag = HOP_MOD_NEITHER
Second Hop RB = NA
Num HARQ ACK Bits = 1
Num SR Bits = 0
Num UCI P1 Bits = 8
UCI Request BMask = ACK_NACK_RPT | CSI_RPT
Start symbol = 13
Num Symbols = 1
Starting RB = 0
REL16 DMRS EN = 0
Dual Pol Status = 0
Num RB = 3
Freq Hopping Flag = HOP_MOD_NEITHER
Second Hop RB = NA
Num HARQ ACK Bits = 3
Num SR Bits = 0
Num UCI P1 Bits = 13
UCI Request BMask = CSI_RPT
Start symbol = 13
Num Symbols = 1
Starting RB = 0
REL16 DMRS EN = 0
Dual Pol Status = 0
Num RB = 8
Freq Hopping Flag = HOP_MOD_NEITHER
Second Hop RB = NA
Num HARQ ACK Bits = 0
Num SR Bits = 0
Num UCI P1 Bits = 10
UCI Request BMask = CSI_RPT | SR_RPT
Start symbol = 13
Num Symbols = 1
Starting RB = 0
REL16 DMRS EN = 0
Dual Pol Status = 0
Num RB = 8
Freq Hopping Flag = HOP_MOD_NEITHER
Second Hop RB = NA
Num HARQ ACK Bits = 0
Num SR Bits = 1
Num UCI P1 Bits = 11
Therefore, this MR fixes the prb_size, so that the number of PUCCH-format2 PRBs matches correctly.
function returns mu of UL BWP if msg1-SubcarrierSpacing absent instead
of asserting. The mu retured by this function is used to compute the
slot number of PRACH. In case of long format, the slot number is as per
UL mu.
