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.
CI: Cleanup of cls_physim.py
- Remove unused code and file
- Rework functions for CUDA and T2 log analysis
- Check if test was successful for nr_ulsim and nr_dlsim in
RAN-gNB-N300-Timing-Phytest-LDPC pipeline
- Better trace DLSCH decoding result
- Rename the decode result variable to separate with later ack/nack
encode of this decoding result from 3GPP (not trivial true=1 coding)
- Cleanup decodeResult usage
- Remove unused defines

get_default_secondaryCellGroup() would "sanitize" the servingCellConfig,
i.e., remove BWP that are invalid. However, it is difficult to
understand (we can do sanitization once at the beginning) and reason
(why the servingCellConfig is modified in
get_default_secondaryCellGroup(), because all we want is a new
CellGroupConfig, without modifying other data structures).
Instead, do sanitization once after reading the configuration in
gnb_config.c. Also, modify physical simulators nr_dlsim and nr_ulsim to
apply this sanitization before a call to
get_default_secondaryCellGroup(), as the latter would have done the
sanitization.
Till this commit, the UE gets the position of SSB in frequency from
command line and does the syncronization by locating the SSB in time. It
does this by generating a PSS time signal during initialization with the
SSB offset given via command line. Then PSS detection is done by
correlation.
In this commit, the UE computes a list of GSCN in the current NR band
that falls within the current bandwidth for the set center frequency.
For each GSCN in the list, the UE starts a thread and performs the
following:
1. Generate PSS time signal with SSB offset for current GSCN.
2. Detect PSS, SSS and decode PBCH (this step remains the same).
After all threads finishes, the results are collected.
For now, only the first detected PBCH is used to proceed further. So
this PBCH is indicated to MAC and UE exits initial sync.
Future work: The cell search can be standalone feature where the UE
could scan for SSB in the entire NR band. This would require changing
radio's frequency on the fly as the UE's bandwidth would not cover an
entire NR band. The cell detection can futher be imporved by looking
for SIB1 for each decoded PBCH.
This commit introduces a separate thread (l1_tx_thread) that processes
gNB DL/TX slots. It receives a message from the ru_thread when a new
slot started, and starts processing.
The DL part of the scheduler is run in the l1_tx_thread. Therefore,
only call UL indication (for scheduler) in UL slots. The UL indication
previously triggered the DL scheduler -- hence, it had to be called in
every slot. Now, since the DL scheduler is moved into the DL thread, we
don't have to call the scheduler in every slot anymore.
The reorder thread is removed, as reordering with this scheme is not
necessary anymore.
The main advantage of this version is that the TX can be scheduled
earlier (sl_ahead). Further, there can no longer be race conditions in
the TX path, since the scheduler/L2, TX L1 processing and the RU tx
function are all execute in the same thread (L1_tX_thread).
Also, the scheduler prepares PRACH/PUSCH/PUCCH FAPI PDUs. As of this
commit, the scheduler runs in the TX processing chain, whereas these
PDUs are destined for RX processing. Thus, too avoid data races,
instead of triggering the RX processing at the same time as TX
processing in the RU thread, this commit changes the code to trigger RX
processing after the scheduler has been run in TX processing to avoid
data races.
Finally, we synchronize RU and L1 threads. This is important for
rfsimulator, since unlike most radios, rfsimulator can run slower or
faster, depending on I/O and CPU (it does not have a stable "tick").

For 7.2 FH, some RUs do phase compensation, whereas for others, the DU
does it. In fact, this can be "negotiated" using the M plane. Since we
don't have the M plane yet, add a configuration option to set where
phase compensation is performed.
