Some code in T tracers is used by both LTE and NR.
In LTE, we expect 10 subframes per frame, and the logging is done with
this assumption. We have one tick per subframe.
In NR, we deal with slots, not subframes. And we have n ticks per frame
(depending on mu). As of today, only n=20 is tested (corresponding to
mu=1).
A previous commit introduced 'subframes_per_frame' which had the correct
meaning for LTE but was truly 'slots per frame' for NR. This creates
confusion.
Let's replace 'subframe' by 'tick' to reduce confusion.
Think: NR with different number of slots per frame depending on mu.
The name 'subframes_per_frame' is a bit ambiguous. It is valid for LTE,
but for NR it should be 'slots_per_frame'.
For example, for sub-carrier spacing of 30KHz, we have 20 slots per
frame, so in this case subframes_per_frame = 20. In reality whatever
the numerology, there is always 10 subframes per frame in NR.
But how to name this variable which is used both for LTE and NR cases?
'subframes_or_slots_per_frame'? It's a bit long and also ambiguous.
Conclusion: no big deal I think. 'subframes_per_frame' and so be it.
- Add CMakeLists.txt to build all T tracer user tools
- Previous Makefiles are retained in common/utils/T: you can do
$ cd common/utils/T/tracer
$ make # all executables are there
or also
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake .. -GNinja
$ ninja T_tools # all executables are in build/common/utils/T/tracer
Minimalist gnb tracer to trace (for the moment) rxdataF when some
decoding for PUCCH or PUSCH has been done.
Important: T_BUFFER_MAX and T_CACHE_SIZE have been changed. T_BUFFER_MAX
is twice as big as before. T_CACHE_SIZE has been devided by two. Globally,
the memory usage of the T tracer is the same, but since we divided by two
the number of buffers in the cache, we may hit some realtime problems if
all the buffers are busy at some point. The simple solution would be to
use 8192*2 for T_CACHE_SIZE as it was, but then we double the memory usage
of the T tracer. This, or another solution, to be defined.
Normally it is used to display throughput.
The computation it does is to sum up the wanted value for the last
second (1000 TTIs) and send this value to the views associated to
this logger, at each TTI.
A new logger is there: the "ticked TTI logger".
Similar to TTI logger (used by the PUCCH1 energy plot)
but takes another input, the "tick" (think subframe)
and a default value for when no event is triggered between
two ticks.
This is used for the UL and DL MCS plots in enb.c (next commit).
this is like timeview but the plotting is done at frame/subframe
resolution of a given reference clock signal, let's say.
The realtime information of the events is not used. It's all
logical.
It will be used to log harq processes for the moment.
