ran_func_kpm.c uses cp_ba_to_str(), but it is not defined in OAI. Define
it so we can link properly, instead of relying on FlexRIC (where it was
defined).
Useful to debug realtime issues, for example when calling a periodical
routine, if it's not programmed carefully enough, it may be that the first
call takes way longer than the next ones (for example it uses some memory
that is not mapped in the process, leading to many page faults the first
time it's executed).
Having a periodic log for the timing of this routine with min/avg/max/count
will reveal that a call is way longer than average and will help in
finding where exactly in the code the time is spent, thanks to the ease
of use of the T tracer; you put T(T_XX, T_INT(1)) just before the code
you want to measure, you put T(T_XX, T_INT(0)) just after and time_meas
will show the delta time between those events. Then you cut the routine
in smaller pieces, measure with T(1)/T(0), and you finally reach the small
guilty part that takes too long.
In time_meas.c, when getting 0 for the event, we log delta time with
previous 1 for the event. "start_valid" was not cleared, so receiving
a second 0 without 1 in between may lead to wrong logging.
Should not happen in practice, but still, little bug.
(Note: we don't protect against streams of 1, but this case should also
not happen.)
Delay compensation for PUCCH2
- Implementation of delay compensation for PUCCH2, which minimizes for
exampe logs "reported RSRP index XXX invalid"
- Adding a test to the CI to perform the delay compensation in PUCCH2
- Refactor code to use c16_t data type in PUCCH decoder
Remove spinlock from threadpool task return
The idea to use atomic aligned to cache line for counting finished jobs
is reused, but instead of polling a semaphore was added.
Improvements for PUSCH per symbol processing
- Improved the assert in task_ans.c
- Fixed and issue with PUSCH per-symbol processing that could cause an
issue in case num_pusch_symbols_per_thread is not 1.
The parent commit cleans up and groups oai_exit in one place,
nr-softmodem-common.h. Therefore, this 5G file is included in the 4G
defs_common.h (at least it's mostly 4G), which is not nice. Instead,
define oai_exit also in 4G softmodem-common.h, and include this in
defs_common.h. Remove the cyclic inclusion of defs_common.h in
softmodem-common.h, and resolve all subsequent errors around unknown
types and extern definition mismatches.
This assert checks if the structure is correctly initialized. The structure
is one-time use so the assert is valid, but the value of the atomic was added
to the output to improve debugging.
Add support for O1 in O-DU via telnet
This change set adds a simple telnet interface to nr-softmodem. Together
with oai/o1-adapter>, this implements a part of the O1 interface, for
the DU only. Currently supported uses cases:
- some stats are send to an SMO (such as bandwidth, PLMN, frequency, ...)
- re-configuration of bandwidth, frequency
- stop/start of the softmodem, while keeping the CU and L2 running
- the o1-adapter implements two alarms, load overload and base station
offline, using this interface.
It is possible to use the telnet interface by itself (i.e., "o1" without
the o1-adapter). To do this, compile with telnet support (./build_oai
--build-lib telnetsrv) and start the nr-softmodem with O1 module
(./nr-softmodem --telnetsrv --telnetsrv.shrmod o1). You can then do the
following:
- see some statistics as exposed to o1-adapter, in JSON: echo o1 stats | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
- stop the L1: echo o1 stop_modem | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
- reconfigure bandwidth: e.g., echo o1 bwconfig 20 | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo (also supported: 40, 60, 100)
- start the L1: echo o1 start_modem | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
Note that the reconfiguration works with split-8 radios. Notably, it
does not work yet out-of-the-box with 7.2 radios, because they have to
be manually reconfigured on bandwith/frequency switch. The planned
M-plane should allow such use case, though.
To help with the above, this branch also includes fixes (for more
information, refer to the corresponding commits):
- fixes for stopping the L1, notably stop threads in right order, stop
thread pool of RU
- collect some general MAC metrics, fix some bugs in MAC
- fix problems in F1AP gNB-DU configuration update message, update test
- fix some problems in RRC
This adds a basic telnet module to support the O1 interface at the DU,
to be used together with the oai/o1-adapter>. Concretely, this first
version supports to
- read/modify cell parameters
- stop/start the L1
remove un-necessary global variables
Remove global variables that can be removed by a trivial way:
- simply dead globals
- or reference is a single source, so can be static
setting them static reduces the scope, that is a progress, but of course as
for all static variables, the code is still not re-entrant
T tracer: add macpdu traces for the NR UE
MIB, SIB1, random access and regular scheduling are traced.
At the beginning of a connection (rrc setup request and rrc setup), the
RNTI is reported as 0. Might be fixed, somehow, if absolutely needed (not
sure).
- removed some whitespace noise.
- cleaned up CMakeLists.txt
- reintegrated task_manager.c into thread-pool.c
- cleaned up some unnecessary code

Implement run-to-completion for processSlotTX. This is achieved by using a new
dynamic_barrier_t which allows to specify callback after the first join has been
made.
This commit introduces dynamic_barrier_t. Its a thread barrier that counts joins
but allows callback to be specified later. See std::barrier for a basic barrier
description.
Added NTN FDD FR1 bands defined in 3GPP TS 38.101-5
Added support for NTN FDD FR1 bands 254, 255, 256 as specified in 3GPP
TS 38.101-5. Example Conf files added for band254 for 15Khz, 5Mhz and
30Khz, 10Mhz configurations. Tested NTN GEO configuration on band 254
using these conf files.
NR UE trigger for re-establishment
The implementation in this MR triggers RRC re-establishment at the UE in case
of radio link failure either for out of sync messages from lower layers or in
case maximum number of RLC retransmissions is reached.

Set SA mode as default
- Set standalone (SA) mode as the default.
- Adjust commands in Docker Compose files by removing --sa flags and
adding --nsa flags where applicable.
- Add a function to verify that only one mode is being used at a time.
- Update all relevant documentation.
telnetsrv uses the Intel/AMD-specific "cpuid" instruction, which is not
available on ARM machines. Remove the call.
The previous code was checking for the number of cores, which is
retained by a call to get_nprocs(). I did not find an equivalent for the
number of threads in C. In C++, there would be
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread/hardware_concurrency, in
case it's relevant for anybody.
