- Add the O-RAN 7.2 FHI library, interfacing with OSC xRAN library (E
release)
- Add Findxran.cmake to detect the library and headers, including
version information
- Test for numa and DPDK presence
- Add patch for OSC xRAN to make interworking possible
- Add sample config files for LiteOn, Benetel, and VVDN units.
Documentation is provided in the next commit.

For the initialization of the xran library (split 7.2), we need some
parameters such as PRACH or frame config. However, to date,
initialization of split at level 7 use the split 8 openair0_config
structure, which does not have the necessary information.
Hence, add a single structure that contains that information.
- Add TOC
- Better describe what RFsim does
- Remove misleading, wrong, unnecessary information
* It is futile to mention --phy-test or other modes, RFsim works with
all
* Explaining how to ping is not the task of the RFsim documentation
(that is what tutorials are for)
* Remove useless/outdated build log information
- Add some more information on which flags to run
- Improve formatting, and minor clarifications
We set the RFsim TCP socket to non-blocking. Thus, it may happen that we
cannot write() to the socket when the kernel cannot handle the request,
in which case we wait some time before trying again. This is the
correct/expected behavior.
Since this is *normal*, an error message is not justified; we did not
even print a message in this case before commit 21790f9c4f introduced it.
Testing on Neoverse N1 (Ampere 3GHz). Tested only on a subset of phy-simulators.
- Changes:
- use SIMDE consistently
- adaptations of LDPC decoder generator for ARMv8 performance
- SIMDe modifications of Intel CRC to allow for aarch64 build.
optimizations for 128-bit to improve performance of LDPC encode/decode
on aarch64 (Neoverse 1)
- added BG2 files for 128-bit ldpc encoder (aarch64)
- testing on Xeon
- testing on x86
- minor changes to build/run on x86
- change in crc.h after returning to aarch64
- removed some warning in ldpc decoder generator for x86_64
- char
- Delete irrelevant constants
- Correctly declare variables
- Define stdbool for all architectures
- Remove definition of _MM_SHUFFLE and use SIMDE_MM_SHUFFLE
- Remove commented code
- Fix CMakeLists.txt
- Include SIMDE avx2 functions in tools_defs.h
This improves the RFsimulator code to reach a ~40% E2E throughput
improvement (depending on the machines).
Changes:
- reduce ring buffer size
- code cleanup for readability
- set TCP kernel parameters
Config options --reconfig_file and --rbconfig-file have been introduced
to modify the filenames of reconfig.raw and rbconfig.raw (e.g., in the
case of multiple UEs). These filen*ames* were to be prepended with
--rrc_config_path to set the path. In summary, three options were
necessary, when two are sufficient.
In this commit, change to the options --reconfig-file and
--rbconfig-file (slight change for harmonization with other options,
which mostly use dashes) to give the full path to the corresponding
files, and avoid to surprise users who would not expect to have three
options.
--rrc_config_path has been deprecated and an error will be printed if a
user attempts to use it.
For FR2 and including analog beamforming, we control the beams via GPIO
on radio units.
In this commit, introduce a configuration option to switch the GPIO
control for different devices: "generic" is the current GPIO control,
"interdigital" configures the GPIO configuration to be used with an
InterDigital device.
- move following radios: AW2S, BladeRF, IRIS, LMSSDR, RFsimulator, USRP
- move following transports: Ethernet, benetel4g, benetel5g
- for each: create independent cmake variable to switch compilation
on/off, in order: OAI_AW2S, OAI_BLADERF, OAI_IRIS, OAI_LMSSDR,
OAI_SIMU, OAI_USRP, OAI_ETHERNET, OAI_BENETEL4G, OAI_BENETEL5G
- Remove RF_BOARD variable, allows to compile multiple boards at once
- where applicable: remove USERSPACE/LIB in path, i.e., move files up to
directories, as all are userspace libraries
Note that with the above, it is now mandatory to enable a radio
implementation before compiling it, e.g., for USRP:
./build_oai -w USRP
cmake .. -DOAI_USRP=ON && ninja oai_usrpdevif
At Eurecom now we only have Nuand bladeRF 2.0 (bladerf2) and those
calibration calls fail, so let's remove them. Maybe they are needed
for other boards, but we can't test at Eurecom. In case of problems
with other boards, contact us.
