Add CLI parameter rfsimulator.beam_ids which uses a list of beam ids instead of a
beam map. The beam map API is still present and can be used interchangably.
Add telnet command setbeamids which has similar semantics
Fix concurrency issues happening when a new client connects, sometimes
leading to a total softmodem deadlock.
Key changes:
- Fix sample sending on new client connection: send the first
sample only to the newly connected client.
- Remove the --rfsimulator.hanging-workaround option
- Replace global nb_ue and Sockmutex with nb_cnx and Sockmutex
in rfsimulator_state_t for better concurrency and clarity.
Enable/disable workaround based on a new option "hanging-workaround".
This addresses an issue where the workaround will trigger even if there
is no risk of a permanent lockup of the system.
Add the option `--rfsimulator.prop_delay` to specify the simulated receive-path (gNB: UL, UE: DL) propagation delay in ms.
This option can be used e.g. to simulate a simple GEO satellite channel by specifying `--rfsimulator.prop_delay 238.74` to both, the gNB and the UE.
This is part of the work developed by Fraunhofer IIS within the ESA-funded project 5G-GOA (https://connectivity.esa.int/projects/5ggoa).
- Add TOC
- Better describe what RFsim does
- Remove misleading, wrong, unnecessary information
* It is futile to mention --phy-test or other modes, RFsim works with
all
* Explaining how to ping is not the task of the RFsim documentation
(that is what tutorials are for)
* Remove useless/outdated build log information
- Add some more information on which flags to run
- Improve formatting, and minor clarifications
Config options --reconfig_file and --rbconfig-file have been introduced
to modify the filenames of reconfig.raw and rbconfig.raw (e.g., in the
case of multiple UEs). These filen*ames* were to be prepended with
--rrc_config_path to set the path. In summary, three options were
necessary, when two are sufficient.
In this commit, change to the options --reconfig-file and
--rbconfig-file (slight change for harmonization with other options,
which mostly use dashes) to give the full path to the corresponding
files, and avoid to surprise users who would not expect to have three
options.
--rrc_config_path has been deprecated and an error will be printed if a
user attempts to use it.
