Instead of looping over UEs and all DL config Req/HI DCI0, loop first
over all DL config Req/HI DCI0, and for each, match UE. Lowers CPU
traffic for high traffic situations.
This refactors the preprocessor. The new preprocessor implements the
same scheduling strategy (Modified Round-Robin: give resources according
to round-robin, then group) but should be fairer by changing every time
the RR start UE (i.e., 1st TTI UE 0 starts, 2nd TTI UE 1, etc) when the
UE number is not a divisor/multiple of the RBG size (and the last RBG is
often smaller). This also removes all unneeded code of the preprocessor
such as allocate(), positioning(), etc.
* do not check rlc_ind()
* Simplify retransmission part and remove nb_rb_available var
* Simplify new transmission code
* Simplify fill_DLSCH_dci(), avoid unnecessary copies
* fix: first check No. RBs, then check CCE alloc
Previously, the various rlc_*_ind() functions had a parameter to enable
the MAC to specify the max TB size that a subsequent call to the
corresponding rlc_*_req() (!) function would return. This patch removes
this parameter from the rlc_*_ind() functions and makes the parameter
working that is already in the rlc_*_req() functions.
store_dlsch_buffer() puts the RLC buffer status results in the
UE_TEMPLATE, which is per-CC. Since the DLSCH scheduler works per-CC,
too, we pass the right CC. However, this is not strictly necessary, as
we could do this once before every CC, and it might be updated.
UE_list_t is now used as a separate list. It can be e.g. used in the
scheduler to mark groups of users. The original UE_list_t is renamed to
UE_info_t to reflect that it is a container for information about UEs.
* Simplify store_dlsch_buffer()
* Simplify assign_rbs_required()
* Simplify dlsch_scheduler_pre_processor_partitioning()
* Simplify dlsch_scheduler_pre_processor_accounting() and dlsch_scheduler_pre_processor_accounting_allocate()
* Simplify allocation printing
The original functions used in the fairRR scheduler have been moved to
eNB_scheduler_fairRR
* Remove MIMO_mode_indicator: it is simply not used ATM
* Remove min_rb_unit as parameter: function auto-detects
* Remove commented code
* Remove slice sharing/multiplexing: it is broken
* Remove UE sorting, add UE with add_new_ue() in MAC
- UE sorting is useless overhead on every iteration, instead it should
be governed by a scheduling algorithm (e.g., RR or PF)
- The MAC keeps a UE list and automatically adds a UE
- UE_list empty, set head to -1
* Remove slice_positioning: the slicing functionality is broken
* Remove unused/untested code
When a header is changed, all including files need to be recompiled,
too. Thus, including a header needlessly all over the place drives
compile times up without any reason.
This functions fills the ULSCH CQI indication message incorrectly. Also,
it should only be triggered when the eNB requests CSI. We disable it
here and a subsequent commit enables it again.
NAS triggered the Kenb Refresh Req always for (hardcoded) UE 0. This
fixes this by setting the correct UE ID.
An effect of this was that the Kenb would always be set for UE 0,
regardless for which UE it was actually intended. This led for integrity
check failures for every UE with ID > 0.
The timer code used to trigger periodic statistics message sending used
ITTI. Together with a high frequency reporting (e.g. 1ms), this resulted
in high CPU usage. This commit reimplements this:
* using a thread that is synchronized to the RU (if there is no MAC, we
assume there is no RU generating a tick so we create the tick source
ourselves)
* no RB trees but plain arrays
* smaller interface for users
* slight user interface changes
* remove stopped timer state: such timer might be simply removed
* remove one-shot timers
* only set up timer for sending requests
* simplify interface for timer setup
* on timer expiry, do not pass through stats request function but
directly send the reply
* Remove whatever report structure and use stats request directly for
inferring the data to send
* Instead of partly initializing in read_config_and_init(), everything of
PDCP is initialized in main() of lte-softmodem
* Omit RC.rrc access in RRU through checking of RC.nb_inst > 0
* Includes FlexRAN, i.e. do not start FlexRAN in RRU
* Function pointers to PDCP functions have to be set explicitly (avoid
confusion of multiply setting function pointers)
