Note: the reestablishment is broken, and a later commit fixes it.
The ServingCellConfigCommon is an inherently radio-related
configuration. As such, it should be handled by the DU, not the CU.
Therefore, move it "down" to the MAC.
Use a struct to initialize the RRC at the beginning, and remove the
NRRRC_CONFIGURATION_REQ. This message is not necessary; the RRC/CU
should be initialized from the F1 Setup Request, coming from the DU.
This branch series implements the usage of the F1 Setup Request
internally at the gNB, even if CU and DU run in the same process. Until
now, the F1 Setup Request contained struct fields to pass IP
configuration to the F1AP module; this information is not necessary in
monolithic, nor should it be relevant when passing the information in
F1 Setup Request.
Therefore, this commit moves all IP connection-related information out
of the F1 Setup Request and into a separate structure instead. In order
to give the F1AP module the necessary connection information, the
DU_REGISTER_REQ message is introduced that combines the F1 Setup Request
and IP configuration, such that the F1AP module can setup the SCTP
connection and then send the F1 Setup Request message.
In a later commit, there will be a callback for F1 Setup Request at MAC
to simply register the DU at the CU. The monolithic callback will simply
forward the F1 Setup Request The F1AP callback will look up the IP
configuration and create DU_REGISTER_REQ message containing IP
configuration and F1 Setup Request, which is then handled by the F1AP
module. To this end, a separate function in gnb_config.c allows to read
IP information from configuration.
- Use the same CU-UP in E1 as in CU-CP: we don't have a separate entity
to allocate IDs, and we just use the same as the CU-CP
- Correct gNB CU-UP/CP UE IDs in E1AP message types to 32bit
- Set CU UP UE ID explicitly for clarity
- Remove RNTI from E1 messages, E1 does not know what an RNTI is
- The CU/DU UE ID is used in DL RRC Message Transfer
- Note: The CU UE ID currently is still the RNTI
- on every DL RRC Message, the DU verifies that the UE exists
- Refactor RRC: common function to forward protected SRB PDUs
The message is never sent to the RRC. And this message is to be
forwarded by the DU to the UE, hence it should not even be handled by
the RRC (as the RRC in the CU sends it).
