- according to 5.3.7.4 of TS 38.331: 1> re-establish RLC for SRB1;
- gNB:
1) re-establish RLC for SRB1 in nr_rlc_update_id
2) re-establish RLC for remaining RBs concurrently with RRCReconfiguration
issue: gNB) in nr_rlc_update_id the gNB is re-establishing RLC for all
RBs at the same time when receiving RRCReestablishmentRequest
from UE
UE) according to the specs, the UE is re-establishing RLC for
SRB1 with RRCReestablishmentRequest the other RBs are
re-established during RRCReconfiguration (in our case in
nr_rrc_ue_process_RadioBearerConfig) when receiving
reestablishRLC IE in rlc_BearerToAddModList
RLC TX) this leads to RLC counters mismatch after re-establishment:
control PDUs discarded until max nb of retx is reached
and then UL failure occurs
The main work of this commit is to rewrite cipher_aes_128_cbc_cmac()
which was too slow and created issues when running the 4G eNB on some
machines (LLL when using a b210).
Instead of creating the security context, use it, and delete it, all in
cipher_aes_128_cbc_cmac(), we introduce the function init_aes_128_cbc_cmac()
to create it, and we change cipher_aes_128_cbc_cmac() to just use it,
and we also adapt free_aes_128_cbc_cmac(). The function aes_128_cbc_cmac()
is removed, it does not follow the new init/use/free API.
Doing so, on the primary test machine used to do this work (a powerful
and fast machine where it is possible to set the CPUs' frequencies)
it was possible to limit the CPUs' frequencies to 500 MHz (it was not
possible to go lower) without any LLL (using a b210, quectel UE in
idle, no data traffic, only periodic measurement reports). Before this
commit, it was necessary to set a frequency of at least 1.8 GHz
otherwise some LLL would appear.
Then we need to adapt the rest of the code to take into account those
changes.
A notion of security container (stream_security_container_t) containing
ciphering and integrity contexts is introduced.
And the code is harmonized for, hopefully, better readability.
The (opaque) type stream_security_context_t is introduced, used by
both integrity and ciphering contexts. The idea is to use a
init()/use()/free() API for all the security procedures, identical for
all the ciphering and integrity procedures.
- remove PDCP reestablishment for DRBs from RRCReestablishment message generation
- do PDCP reestablishment and CUUP notification calls after reception or RRCReestablishmentComplete
- this is necessary to make it consistent with the RRCReconfiguration message that contains
RadioBearerConfig with the list of bearers to add/release
which is followed by PDCP re-establishment at UE
- SRB1 shall be re-established at the time of RRCReestablishmentRequest
according to 5.3.7.4 of 3GPP TS 38.331
- SRB2 shall be re-established when creating srb-ToAddModList
according to 5.3.5.6.3 of 3GPP TS 38.331
The code (author) confused MCE_PARAMS_DESC and MCE_NETPARAMS_DESC and
tried to read the MCE name from MCE_NETPARAMS_DESC when in reality it
should come from MCE_PARAMS_DESC. This commit fixes to use the right
array.
In a previous commit, the functionality of handling IPv6 (and DNS names)
as part of the IPv4 was introduced (in IPv4 field for backwards
compatibility). This commit now removes superfluous configuration
fields:
- IPv6: handled by IPv4 field
- active: users can just remove an entry
- preference: not needed
Rewrite sctp_create_new_listener() to use getaddrinfo() to look up
IPv4/IPv6 addresses via a common interface. This allows to use e.g. DNS,
and enables the SCTP library to listen on IPv6 ports.
To support the above, the corresponding message is changed to not take
an IPv4 address on 4 bytes (and separate IPv6), but a single name that
will be resolved via getaddrinfo()
The previous init message used to allow multiple IPv4/IPv6 addresses;
since this is not used anywhere, remove the corresponding functionality.
Modify all uses of this ITTI message to copy te SCTP init bind addr into
ITTI message.
After the last commit, it is not possible to bind on separate interfaces
for F1-C and F1-U. In other words, it is for instance not possible to
have the F1-C on one subnet on one physical interface, and F1-U on
another subnet on another physical interface. This commit introduces a
second option MACRLCs.[0].local_n_address_f1u to allow to bind F1-U on
an alternative address; if it is not specified, the interface of F1-C is
reused.
The above only works for the DU; no corresponding option exists for the
CU. For the CU, use separate CU-CP and CU-UP.
Use it in the CI.
This reverts commit 284116522b.
The problem is that (1) we don't really support multi-homing, but (2) on
some system, if the other IP addresses that the operating system
considers part of the multi-homed connection are HEARTBEAT'ed (e.g.,
docker), they answer with SCTP ABORT, which breaks the entire
connection.
In other words, force single-homing by binding. For F1-U uses, another
option will be introduced that allows to bind to a separate interface
for F1-U (separate from F1-C), if necessary.
Closes#727
- this change simplifies the enum definition and makes it easier
to add, remove, or modify states in the future
- the states are now defined in the NR_UE_L2_STATES macro,
and the enum members are generated automatically from this macro
