Once the LTE UE's tunnel interface with the EPC
is ready to be established, if we are in NSA mode,
we do not want to launch the tunnel interface
from the LTE UE side, but in the NR UE. Via itti_msgs
we send the string containing the tunnel interface
'up' command to the NR UE and bring it up from the NR UE.
This commit includes several changes.
First, it updates the way we fill the uplink
UCI indication. This still has some todo comments
since all the fields in this ind were hardcoded.
It also updates the pack and unpack functions for
the NR_UCI incations. Lastly, it includes updates
to the gNB UCI scheduler. The updates in the gNB
were cherry picked from develop. There are two updates
to the VNF which allow the VNF timing/slots to be
adjusted based on the received timing_info packets
from the VNF. This adjustment was disabled in IISc's
nFAPI code. For now, it is improving the timing
between the VNF and PNF.
Most notably, nfapi_rx_indication_pdu_t.data type is changed from
`uint8_t*` to `uint8_t[]`. Also, renamed from `data` to
`rx_ind_data` to make it easier to find.
This commit contains the changes to the OAI code in
the NR UE and in nFAPI.
- Filling crc_ind for msg3
- Updating pack/unpack of CRC_ind
- Creating phy abstraction CRC_ind handling in VNF
- Removal of old comments
- Only sending on RACH in phy_stub
- Calling nr_msg3_transmitted in scheduler for NSA mode
Also updated the NR nFAPI for properly packing
and unpacking the ra_indication. Lastly, added
the functionality for calling the callback RX_ind
functions in the VNF. The RX_IND PDU is recevied
as NULL in the gNB so need to investigate how to
properly pack and unpack the *pdu in the RX_ind.
Also fixed a few bugs in nr-nFAPI:
- Push16->push8 fix in packing of RACH
- Allocating memory for pdu_list and preamble_list in unpack
- Properly indexing through both lists during unpack
- Created new nr_rach handling function
Also calling the new L1_nsa_prach_procedures()
function after using the nr_ue_scheduler. Added
some error checking in the nr_ue_scheduler. Added
some error checking in the process_nsa_msg in both
the NR and LTE UE
For some reason the htons invocation got deleted which broke
the VNF P7 interface.
Also fixed some build issues, not sure how these got onto the
develop branch to begin with.
Removing references to memcpy_dl_config_req and
memcpy_tx_req because these functions are leaking
memory. For our standalone mode we have created
new/modified memcpy_dl/tx_req functions.
More accurately, we changed the do/while infinite
loop to be an infinite for loop for the read command of
the socket. The socket file descriptor choice is more clear now.
