Simplify logs in gNB&UE
- reduce the amount of printf() that outputs useless info
- in MAC, PHY, NGAP, RRC, mark some "important" UE events with LOG_A for
better visibility -> can put log_config.global_log_level analysis to
only see important stuff
- in RRC, use some macro to consistently print logs
- track the cellID of a UE in RRC
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.
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.
- Phy config update and Sidelink frame parameters initialisation
- PSBCH scheduler to trigger TX PSBCH/RX PSBCH actions
- Sidelink indication with rx ind to trigger send SL-MIB to MAC
- Enable Scope for PSBCH use -d or --dqt
- Enable system testing of PSBCH for example using RFSIMULATOR:
- UE1 is a SYNCRONISATION SOURCE UE which transmits PSBCH
started using command -
sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem --sl-mode 2 --sync-ref 4 --rfsim --rfsimulator.serveraddr server
- UE2 syncs onto UE1 during sidelink search, gets the timing and continues to receive PSBCH
started using command -
sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem --sl-mode 2 --rfsim --rfsimulator.serveraddr 127.0.0.1
- In the default use case 2 Sidelink SSBs sent over 16 frames.
- In case SL-SSB configuration needs to be changed use -O option in the above command like
-O ../../../targets/PROJECTS/NR-SIDELINK/CONF/sidelink_preconfig_1txpool.conf
Testing on Neoverse N1 (Ampere 3GHz). Tested only on a subset of phy-simulators.
- Changes:
- use SIMDE consistently
- adaptations of LDPC decoder generator for ARMv8 performance
- SIMDe modifications of Intel CRC to allow for aarch64 build.
optimizations for 128-bit to improve performance of LDPC encode/decode
on aarch64 (Neoverse 1)
- added BG2 files for 128-bit ldpc encoder (aarch64)
- testing on Xeon
- testing on x86
- minor changes to build/run on x86
- change in crc.h after returning to aarch64
- removed some warning in ldpc decoder generator for x86_64
- char
- Delete irrelevant constants
- Correctly declare variables
- Define stdbool for all architectures
- Remove definition of _MM_SHUFFLE and use SIMDE_MM_SHUFFLE
- Remove commented code
- Fix CMakeLists.txt
- Include SIMDE avx2 functions in tools_defs.h
fix the 64QAM modulator case, that process 192 bits per iteration, then 24 bits per iteration of the tail bits, then added the last two symboles processing (no odd number of symbols case)
1. Adding a "SL" frequency for Sidelink mode. The
importance of this variable is to ensure that
when we are in mode 1 (UE+UE+gNB), that the slot
configuration and frequencies do not overlap. This
SL frequency is important for rotation and allows
us to utilize the OFDM modulation and demodulation
functions that already exist in OAI.
2. Adding sl_mode to the command line for proper UE
deployment when in SL mode. sl_mode can be set to 0,
1, or 2. sl_mode 0 indicates no-Sidelink at all,
mode 1 is gNB, UE, and UE (3GPP defines mode numbers).
sl_mode 2 indicated UE to UE communications with no
gNB at all.
3. New functions for calculating the carrier frequency
for SL mode.
