Summary of changes:
- free configmodule memory when shutting down
It is possible to restart the lte-softmodem via the FlexRAN controller.
For this to work, the end_configmodule() method needs to be called when
shutting the lte-softmodem down so that the configuration can be read
again during a restart.
- Feature agent
Implements an agent ID, consisting of the OAI module ID, the OAI eNB ID
and the cell ID. The agent reads this information in its configuration
read function and forwards it to the controller.
This MR also contains some code forwarding SI info to the controller.
- various bugs fixed
- remove start_background_system from eNB softmodem
- fix memory leak when doing traffic
- disable ITTI dump (does someone uses this?)
- disable U-plane inactivity timer: it's very simple to put this back,
but as of now it comes with its own problems that we don't have time
to check/fix
Only ulsim and dlsim compile. The others (dlsim_tm4 pucchsim prachsim
pdcchsim pbchsim mbmssim) have been disabled.
Command line to compile: ./build_oai --phy_simulators
When doing TCP downlink traffic with iperf for several
hours, the memory consumption of lte-softmodem does not
stop to grow.
After analysis, this commit seems to be the only fix needed.
To be checked somehow.
The agent_id is a uint64 consisting of: module ID (i.e. mod_id, the several
instances of OAI at once, 16 bit), the enb_id from the configuration file (32
bit) and the cell_id from the configuration file (16 bit).
The module ID is part of the agent ID but it is easier to have it directly in
the struct.
It is possible to restart the lte-softmodem via the FlexRAN controller. For
this to work, the end_configmodule() method needs to be called when shutting
the lte-softmodem down so that the configuration can be read again during a
restart.
The PHICH was not programmed for the last round (4) because it was
not programmed in rx_sdu but in schedule_ulsch_rnti, only in case
of a programmed retransmission (there is obviously no retransmission
programmed after the last round).
The case of Msg3 is not handled. To be done somehow.
As reported by Emad Alizade:
According to "Issue255 256 257 paging reesta release" that has been
merged in develop version, we have a question: In rrc_eNB_free_UE()
function only all ulsch related memory of user has been cleaned, but
I think not only ulsch memory but also dlsch memory must be cleaned.
I tested the latest develop version and with repetition UE attach-detach
procedures we find that the dlsch memory has not been cleaned and after
repeat this sequence (45 times) assertion with cause UE_id!=-1 (no free
or exiting dlsch_context, dci_tools.c: fill_dci_and_dlsch() ) occurred
and no UE will be attached to system.
The fixes in this commit are from Emad Alizade.

Summary of changes:
- bug fix in the FlexRAN API (correct a check)
- bug fix for sending the right RNTI in a FlexRAN message
- fixes small bug in ulsim which kills one RX antenna in channel simulation.
Another simple but bad bug in ulsch_demodulation.c (bad access of avgU
array). This probably resulted in a performance degradation for non-ideal
channels, even for 1 antenna. The avgU was read in position 1 instead of
0 for 1-antenna and in positions 1 and 2 instead of 0 and 1 for 2-antennas.
- work from Nokia:
1) shared library loader, with integration for oai devices, encoder and telnet server
2) telnet server (use build-oai --build-telnetsrv option and --telnetsrv softmodem option)
3) UE/eNB in different executables (lte-uesoftmodem and lte-softmodem + noS1 variants)
4) config module fixes and extensions
5) very preliminary NB-IoT integration preparation, using shared lib loader ( use make NB-IoT to build, after building the eNB softmodem)
6) Rename NB-IoT configuration sources from nbiot_ to NB-IoT_ to be consistent with other NB-IoT developments.
- various bugs fixed:
- try to avoid "buffer full" problem when pushing DL traffic
- add a stop_rf function in the RU
- cleanup - remove unnecessary calls to get_cpu_freq_GHz
(was disrupting realtime at startup, generating lots of UU and LL)
- cleanup MAC PDU generation
Compilation with Rel10 is not functional anymore.
Compilation of unitary simulator is not functional anymore.

This is hack-level development.
With this commit you can do UDP DL traffic of say 100Mb/s over
a 5MHz link with one connected UE and the eNB should not crash
because of memory exhaustion. Of course on the receiver side
you won't get 100Mb/s and many many lost packets. But the system
should not crash. 1Gb/s does not work. So in any case try to
remain within some reasonable limits. There is no reason to
push more than twice the maximum achievable throughput of
the link.
This work is based on a patch proposed by Francesco Gringoli.
