At this point we are successfully able to build.
Additionally, we can run the scenario,
however, it does not pass. It seems that the gNB
is not connecting to the proxy correctly. Just
wanted to push the progress so far. FYI, the items
that had to be changed to correct the linking issues
were the following:
- mac_rrc_data_ind_ue vs. nr_mac_rrc_data_ind_ue
- rrc_data_req vs. nr_rrc_data_req
- mac_rrc_data_req_ue vs. nr_mac_rrc_data_req_ue
- rrc_data_req_ue vs. rrc_data_req_nr_ue
- rrc_data_req vs. nr_rrc_data_req
The listed functions should be declard in the LTE/NR
UE directory depending on the functionality. Several
were mixed. i.e.: LTE functions being called in NR UE.
Also, removing siWindowLength, siWindowLength_int,
SIBType, SIBPeriod, and siPeriod_int from the NR UE RRC.
These variable were not used in the NR UE and are defined
for LTE only.
Lastly, in the NR_IF_Module.c of the NR UE, the global
variable def_dci_pdu_rel15 is not accessible. Need to
revisit this. For not it is commented out.
This commit introduces several enhancements in X2AP and RRC to deal
with ENDC. The main goal is to deal with UE's on/off and with various
errors.
The following work is included:
- DC prep and DC overall X2 timers
- X2 messages for UE release and DC timers' timeout
Open problems:
- what to do when the UE sends an scg Failure? This commit removes
the UE. And this removal may not be correctly done
- UE removal in the gNB's PHY layer (a next commit is coming,
but it is hackish and will need a rework)
An NR-capable UE will transmit some NR measurements.
Once received, the whole process on nr-cell addition is started.
It will fail quickly.
Many things are still missing.
What is not handled properly with this commit:
- in x2ap_eNB_handle_sgNB_add_req we hardcode the gNB ID
- nr triggering is done if we receive a measurement but this measurement is
not analyzed at all
- no timers (T_dc_overall, T_dc_prep) and as is the code fails and then the
next triggering after UE reconnection will not work (x2 ID are not well
handled here and there in the code)
Note also that the gNB part has not been looked at all for this commit.
This is work in progress...
This commit introduces X2AP timers (t_reloc_prep, tx2_reloc_overall).
You need to set the values in the configuration file.
X2AP can be enabled or disabled in the configuration file too (disabled
by default).
Some deadcode was removed.
Some deadcode was removed.
The implementation of the ID management is not finished.
It will only work if the handover is successful. No error
recovery has been done. For error recovery, we need to
implement the X2AP timers. As it is, in case of error, an ID
might very well never be released.
It has been tested with 1 and 2 UEs doing handover more or less
at the same time.
- manage target eNB based on target cell id received by measurement report
for Handover Request
- manage source eNB based on association id for Handover Request Ack
- use only x2ap instance and not x2ap data instance points to x2ap instance
