This is a simple CU-UP load tester. It sets up a configurable number of UEs in the
CU-UP, then sends GTP traffic in downlink/uplink in the N3-F1/F1-N3
direction at the CU-UP. It then compares the sent and received data.
Additional parameters, such as amount of traffic, test length, packet
size, and IP addresses/ports are configurable.
To run:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -GNinja && ninja nr-cuup nr-cuup-load-test params_libconfig
./tests/nr-cuup/nr-cuup-load-test
./nr-cuup -O ../tests/nr-cuup/load-test.conf
The tester should be able to detect lost and reordered packets.
Example lost: Receive order 2,3,5,6 (lost packet 4)
=> on packet 2, expected 2, next=expected+1=3
=> on packet 3, expected 3, next=expected+1=4
=> on packet 5, expected 4, diff=5-4=1 (lost 1), next=payload+1=6
=> on packet 6, expected 6
=> 1 lost
Example reordered: Receiver order 2,5,3,6 (lost packet 4)
=> on packet 2, expected 2, next=expected+1=3
=> on packet 5, expected 3, diff=5-3=2 (lost 2), next=payload+1=6
=> on packet 3, expected 6, (reduce lost by 1 to 1), next=expected=6
=> on packet 6, expected 6
=> 1 lost
Example reordered: Receiver order 2,5,3,4,6 (no losses)
Add a section in nfapi.md related to the different transport mechanisms available for VNF/PNF communication
Edit NR_NFAPI_archi.md to describe the VNF and PNF processing logic, as well as adding a flowchart for each of the components execution
Add the necessary patch to install the WLS library in the system
Realtime and near-realtime RFSimulator alternative without channel modelling.
The purpose of this library is to allow realtime simulation of gNB and nrUE.
The library is loaded using --device.name shm_radio. The server side (gNB) should also
configure --shm_radio.role server and --shm_radio.timescale <timescale> according to requirements.
Limitations:
- Only 1UE-to-1gNB connection supported
Future work:
- Channel modelling
- Telnet API
- Histogram of the TX time budget
Dockerized development environment
This commit introduces a fully dockerized dev env you can start on any
machine that has docker without installing any direct OAI dependencies
on host.
This allows to migrate development environments between machines easily.
Several complementary scripts were added to enable smooth transition
between your docker environment and host environment. Your user and sudo
should work inside the environment.
In its current state, the environment can be used to compile
nr-softmodem with 7.2 FHI but it cannot run it due to missing
dependencies.

A new phy scope based on ImGui and ImPlot. This scope uses a different concurrency model than previous
scopes.
The PHY thread writing the data first checks if the data is ready to be written. If its not, nothing is copied.
The GUI thread reads data if available and marks it ready to write. This makes sure that the PHY threads are not
busy copying data that would never be displayed.
Some of the scopes also have a freeze functionality that further limit the amount of data that needs to be copied
from PHY threads. If a scope is "frozen" it still allows the user to explore the data using plots zoom/pan functions
but doesn't cause PHY threads to perform extra writes on the displayed data.
A compile option was added to enable/disable the scope. Use cmake -DENABLE_IMSCOPE=ON to enable the scope.
Update CXX standard to 17; it is required by some libraries (e.g., dear imgui). The oldest gcc version in
use by a distribution supported is Ubuntu 20, which has gcc 9.4 with c++17 support.
- update library location
- correct information for ioWorker
- disable HT on servers
- add local/lib trick for Fedora-based OS. Also clean-up on line terminations
- add another pkg-config trick.
- Proper version(s) of DPDK
- Support for both Bronze and E releases
- Minor fixes on E-patches and build system
- fixed a few typos and better explanation of the CPU allocation scheme
