Add the ability to pack/unpack 2 new TLVs for analog beamforming
total_num_beams_vendor_ext and analog_beam_list
Add the unpack related changes for the first 2 vendor extension TLVs introduced related to beamforming.
For the moment the packing is guarded by an Assert to ensure it is not used.
Add the necessary utility function changes to support these VE TLVs
Add the necessary changes to the corresponding unitary test for pack/unpack,
commented for the moment, since the packing is disabled with an Assert.
Fix data race in NR UE MSG3 scheduling
Fixed a data race between DL processing of RAR and UL scheduler, which might
result in dropping MSG3.
It was possible that the UL scheduler for the UL slot which RAR indicates as
MSG3 slot was already run by the time the RAR was decoded.
Therefore when DCI for RAR is decoded, assume worst case and halt UL scheduler
for next slot until RAR is decoded solving the data race. This also in turn
halts all later scheduling due to sequential nature of the UL scheduler calls.
Closes#962
Move RRC radio parameters file to DU
A number of radio-related RRC parameters, e.g., CellGroupConfig, "originate" at
the DU and are sent to the CU for forwarding to the UE only. Similarly, there
are additional parameters, e.g., RLC-BearerConfig (part of CellGroupConfig),
that originate at the DU.
Hence, the DU decides about these parameters, depending on the MAC state and
capabilities. To clarify this, move the existing
openair2/RRC/NR/nr_rrc_config.{c,h} => openair2/LAYER2/NR_MAC_gNB/nr_radio_config.{c,h}
So that developers know that while those are RRC parameters, they originate at
the DU.
In other words, the CU/RRC is not supposed to use any of these functions in
the RRC. Correspondingly, includes of this file have been cleaned up (and when
they are not necessary at the MAC as well)

Enhance UE identity management in Initial UE Message and other NGAP improvements
This MR improves the Initial UE Message procedures by supporting simultaneous
presence of both 5G-S-TMSI and GUAMI. Previously, only one identity could be
used, leading to potential AMF selection failures. Now the presenceMask allows
both identities. The AMF selection is prioritizing GUAMI first, then falling
back to 5G-S-TMSI, and finally using PLMN or highest capacity.
Also, fix handling of selected PLMN identity in NGAP.
Refactoring:
- Select the AMF based on (1) absence of UE Identity (2) Presence of GUAMI
(3) Presence of 5G-S-TMSI
- Also refactored the AMF selection logic for better readability and reliability.
- Refactor and cleanup rrc_gNB_send_NGAP_NAS_FIRST_REQ
- Replace ngap_pdu_t with byte_array_t
- Add guami_t to ngran_types.h: refactor NGAP and RRC code to use one common
GUAMI type instead of two identical ones
Also:
- Bugfix in ngap_gNB_handle_ng_setup_response: use correct count for PLMNSupportList

One of the next commits moves nr_rrc_config.c "down to" the MAC/DU. The
BearerConfig functions are only used at the DU, so move them here in the
corresponding file.
selectedPLMN-Identity IE in RRCSetupComplete is an Index (long) of the PLMN selected
by the UE from the plmn-IdentityInfoList (SIB1) (see 3GPP TS 38.331)
while
Selected PLMN Identity in NGAP INITIAL UE MESSAGE Indicates the selected PLMN
id for the non-3GPP access (PLMN Identity ID carrying MNC, MCC and MNC size,
9.2.5.1 3GPP TS 38.413)
The legacy code was setting Selected PLMN Identity in the latter to an ID
value as the former, however in NGAP the IE to be encoded is PLMN Identity 9.3.3.5
therefore:
* set plmn type plmn_id_t in ngap_nas_first_req_t
* check whether received selectedPLMN-Identity is within bounds
* select PLMN from gNB_RrcConfigurationReq by selectedPLMN-Identity ID
note: this commit is assuming that the plmn-IdentityInfoList in SIB1
is matching the PLMN list in gNB_RrcConfigurationReq
* in NGAP: store the PLMN in the NGAP UE context, no need to fetch the PLMN
in the NGAP instance since the UE context already tells what PLMN
was selected
Closes#801
* use bitmask to select presence of either 5G-S-TMSI or GUAMI
* select the AMF based on
(1) absence of UE Identity (2) Presence of GUAMI (3) Presence of 5G-S-TMSI
Related to #801
* add function to process AMF Identifier
* add function to select AMF
* set const parameters in utility nnsf functions
* adopt utilities for memory allocation
* improve readability and maintainability
* improve logging
ngap_pdu_t has the same definition as byte_array_t, so it is
replaced by the latter. This simplify the stack and reduces
duplicated code.
Also, add function create_byte_array to copy from an
existing buffer to a new byte_array_t and replaced
allocCopy with create_byte_array, and adopted
OCTET_STRING_fromBuf whenever possible.
Add CI test to force RRC IDLE and new connection setup with 5G-S-TMSI
This MR is a follow up to !2725 (merged)..
The primary goal is to introduce a CI test that enforces the following behavior:
- Forces the UE to enter RRC_IDLE state.
- Validates the UE's re-connection procedure using the 5G-S-TMSI as the UE
identity.
fix the number of preambles per SSB at UE in case PRACH is configured with groupB
To fix an issue reported in the mailing list related to UE configured by a 3rd
party gNB with groupB PRACH
* Close entity->pdusession_sock manually before pthread_join() to unblock sdap_tun_read_thread()
* Update tun_destroy() to open a fresh socket for interface management, independent from the data socket
* Fix check on success of change_interface_state() in tun_destroy(): is a boolean
* Handle ENODEV error when bringing interface down: treat as success if the interface is already gone.
* tun_destroy() is now handling INTERFACE_DOWN, so `INTERFACE_DOWN` in `tun_config()` is no longer needed

Release all SDAP entities for a UE in nr_rrc_going_to_IDLE().
With this change the SDAP entities of the UE are cleaned up
when going into RRC_IDLE, including tun sockets, threads etc.
A new SDAP entity is created when re-attaching to the network.
