This commit broke compatibility with Aerial when compiled with -DSCF_FAPI_10_04_SRS=ON. It was decided that this should become the default.
This reverts commit 8beb382277.
Refactor ULSCH scheduler towards more TDD pattern flexibility
Refactors ULSCH scheduler, notably to support "UL-heavy" TDD patterns,
e.g., DSUUU. Also allows to run TDD pattern2 with UL slots, which was a
limitation in the previous code.
Adds the capability to pack/unpack the TDD table in CONFIG.request
following both SCF222.10.02 (Tag 0x1027) and SCF222.10.04 (Tag 0x1035)
formats In the case of Aerial, the TDD table is packed following the
10.04 format, but with the 10.02 tag Prevent the packing of Digital
Beamforming table and Precoding Matrix table for Aerial
Add WLS as a transport option for VNF/PNF, refactor existing options
This MR adds a new transport mechanism for the VNF and PNF split, using
the Intel WLS library, which makes use of DPDK and shared memory to
transport messages. This transport mechanism is what is used to
interface with Radisys ODU, while also working with OAI VNF/PNF.
The VNF and PNF have been refactored so that the transport-specific
functions are isolated from the rest of the logic, and as such,
interchangeable by means of function pointers.
The same change is done for the packing/unpacking procedures, allowing
to switch between FAPI and nFAPI encoding.
This MR also reduces the amount of duplicated code, by refactoring the
VNF with Aerial, which now only has the transport-relevant functions, as
well as the ones that are unique to it ( for example, the unpacking
procedures where a secondary data buffer is used for the message
payloads )
Additionally a new callback is added to the VNF to process
ERROR.indication messages, which currently only indicates which message
originated the error, and which error occurred.
Created a function nr_error_ind_cb for the VNF that takes a received ERROR.indication and shows some details regarding the reported error from the PNF, since up until now it was not handled and treated as an unknown message.
Proper error handling procedure not created, only shows that the error occurred.
The common library exposes functions for the PNF to return the received blocks to the VNF for it to call WLS_Enqueue on them.
This is done in order to ensure the Blocks are returned after processing, also preventing the Dequeueing of blocks that are still being used, i.e. the internal value is not -1
All saved blocks are to be enqueued at the reception of a SLOT.indication by the VNF
Additionally, the definition of NFAPI_MAX_PACKED_MESSAGE_SIZE was moved to nfapi_interface.h and removed from the other headers, this is done to allow to set the maximum message size when using WLS by only changing the value in one place
Fixup fapi_nr_message_header_unpack call in nfapi_hex_parser
Adds 3 new function pointers to the P5 and P7 PNF structures, allowing to configure which function to use to pack/unpack the messages, as well as unpack the message header, being then used seamlessly regardless of using the FAPI or nFAPI functions.
Changes the header unpack and message unpack functions to return true on success and false on failure, instead of an int
Before, we only considered ta_Common_r17 and the SAT position from SIB19 to compute the initial timing advance value.
This is good enough if the satellite does not move too fast (e.g. GEO satellite).
Now we also consider ta_CommonDrift_r17 and the SAT velocity together with the epoch time from SIB19.
This improves the accuracy of the initial TA computation, esp. for LEO satellite scenarios.
Adds the packing and unpacking functions needed for the PM Table in CONFIG.request
This table tag is specified in SCF222.10.06(0x104B), previous versions didn't have a tag for this table, and this version of the spec introduces the parameter `num_pm_idx`, previously not present.
A struct nfapi_nr_pm_tlv_ve_t is added to represent this TLV in order to be able to use the pack_nr_tlv function.
The necessary additions to the utility functions are done to account for this table.
The unitary test is changed to fill this table with randomized data to test transport and copy.
Adds the packing and unpacking functions needed for the DBT Table in CONFIG.request
This table tag is specified in SCF222.5.0 (0x1043) and this tag is used to transport the table, previous versions did not include a tag for the table.
A struct nfapi_nr_dbt_tlv_ve_t is added to represent this TLV in order to be able to use the pack_nr_tlv function.
The necessary additions to the utility functions are done to account for this table.
The unitary test is changed to fill this table with randomized data to test transport and copy.
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.
Use memcpy in nr_prach.c to fill txdata buffer.
Remove global tables related to PRACH generation.
Add new function to compute modulo multiplicative inverse and use it
directly to get inverse instead of LUT.
Removed nr_ru table and compute the values in-place.
In UE, added new flag root_seq_computed in nrUE_config to only compute
the sequence once after new nrUE_config is received.

Closes#901
At both the PNF and the VNF, introduce a separate numerology field, and
pass the numerology when converting time information using macros from
nfapi_interface.h. The actually numerology is still hardcoded to 1 (as it
was before), but the follow-up commits will put a suitable numerology.
In both cases, but the numerology next to the frame/slot information.
The next commits refactor the rx handling of messages in the PNF. To
efficiently handle them, provide a "peek()" function that gives us the
frame/slot for which a message is destined. This allows to decide if a
message is on time and select a destination buffer, before unpacking it
completely, avoiding copies.

Change message handlers to use the utility functions to copy and properly free the messages

Apply clang-format to pack/unpack procedures.
Add comments to improve readability of iqSize usage.
Fix unpacking return value to not return 0 on success.
Renames nfapi_nr_srs_reported_symbol_t prgs into *reported_symbol_list for two reasons:
So that the name is more representative of what the parameter represents.
For it to actually be a list, and not assume only 1 reported symbol is used.
Allocate reported_symbol_list in unpack_nr_srs_beamforming_report.
Updated all references to prior prgs to point to the first position of reported_symbol_list, still only effectively using the first reported_symbol.
Rename fill_srs_reported_symbol_list into fill_srs_reported_symbol and update input parameter name, since it only fills the information related to one reported symbol

Changed nfapi_p7_allocate calls to calloc to avoid dependency from FAPI lib to nFAPI lib.
