This commit follows the previous one and adds a dependancy for the
generated .h files so that when we change T_messages.txt to add a
T trace, the compilation succeeds when using ninja in
cmake_targets/ran_build/build.
When using the make system to generate T files, if you change
T_messages.txt you may have problems compiling the gnb with ninja.
If you want to see the problem:
First run: cd cmake_targets; ./build_oai --ninja --gNB
Then: cd common/utils/T
edit T_messages.txt, add a trace, for example:
---
ID = ENB_PHY_UL_TOCK
DESC = eNodeB uplink tick - one tick per ms at start of uplink processing
GROUP = ALL:PHY:GRAPHIC:ENB
FORMAT = int,eNB_ID : int,frame : int,subframe
---
then run: make
then: cd cmake_targets/ran_build/build; ninja nr-softmodem
You should have an error looking like this:
---

Let's first isolate the generated T .h files when using make because
we have two versions of T_IDs.h and T_messages.txt.h when mixing
make/cmake.
A next commit will regenerate T_IDs.h and T_messages.txt.h when
T_messages.txt chages for the cmake system, because this commit
does not solve the problem.
- PRACH Configuration Index = 98 is not suSpported by the Amarisoft UE simulator, as a number of PRACH occasions within the PRACH slot is > 1

Multiple DUs host cells, whose cell ID cannot match (to identify them
uniquely). Hence, don't check for equality with CU, because otherwise,
we can never connect multiple DUs.
This is a workaround for a problem described in #706. In short, we
cannot reuse the cu_add/remove_f1_ue_data() functions if we are in an
integrated CU-UP/CP ("CU"), but then we can also not reliably use
different UE IDs in CU-UP and CU-CP (except if using even more hacks).
An assoc_id of 0 is used to mark UEs whose DU is "offline" (not
connected). In this patch, if a DU disconnects, we go through all UEs
and set their assoc_id to 0 if they belong to a UE that just went
offline.
This code printed BW masks (what is this) and number of MIMO layers. It
was dependent on the current DU, and only showed the information for the
current DU config (SCS, band). On DU disconnect, it leads to segfaults
to this dependency, and IMO is not useful in itself (it could rather be
printed when receiving the UE capabilities, for all bands etc.).
To allow to send F1 messages to multiple DUs from the CU, we need to
send these messages via different assoc_id (SCTP association ID,
basically akin to a file descriptor). Currently, the assoc_id is stored
in a context at the F1 module and retrieved in
f1ap_itti_send_sctp_data_req().
To facilitate a later change towards indicating (from the RRC) to which
assoc_id (hence, DU) to send a message, we refactor all
CU_send_*()/DU_send_*() functions to take the assoc_id as a parameter to
which to send messages. In this commit, we then pass the assoc_id from
the context. A later commit changes this (at the CU) to pass the
assoc_id from the message to be sent.
Previous to this commit, the CU creates an F1 instance and initializes
GTP after a successful connection establishment, and tears the F1
instance down after the DU disconnects. This does not work when trying
to connect multiple DUs, or have them reconnect, as e.g., GTP
re-initialization fails (socket already bound).
This commit makes the CU F1 instance creation and GTP init at CU task
init (only once), and also frees the F1 instance only after the CU task
exits, which is at termination of the application, typically.
