The macrlc_has_f1 (static) variable was introduced to signal when we use
F1 in the configuration. It is superfluous: the node_type already passes
this information in a unique manner; hence, remove.
Correctly match UEs based on the NSSAI in MAC and RRC. There is a
convenience function capture_sst_sd() that extracts SST and SD (which
form the NSSAI). Because a previous version used integers to convey the
slice identifier, this function gracefully handles this case, although
it is not spec-compliant.
Prior to this commit, the RAN function for KPM is leaking memory: it
allocates using calloc() but never frees it.
The fix consists of not allocating this memory on the heap in the first
place, but on the stack. Therefore, there are changes to pass in a
pointer to various functions to the structure on the stack, instead of
passing the "container" for the heap memory by value.
Further, the MAC was allocating an excessive amount of memory (N times
sizeof(NR_UE_info_t)). Instead of copying the entire struct, the present
code stores a pointer to the MAC UE container (NR_UE_info_t *). For the
RRC, there is a similar simplification that consists in not storing the
entire struct f1_ue_data_t (which is not required), but only the RRC UE
ID.
Note that both MAC and RRC might suffer from race conditions. For the
MAC, we should lock the scheduler for the time we read statistics. For
the RRC, the problem is more delicate as no mutex exists; the RRC
assumes everything is executed synchronously in the ITTI task loop. In
both cases, this commit does not address this problem
Filtering UEs by NSSAI is broken, so remove it. A later commit will
reestablish this functionality.
Simplify the code: we only handle one condition, so we can check for it
upfront.
This commit introduces an additional (implicit) option that signals if
the E2 agent is to be activated or not. When reading the configuration,
we now check if all fields are set, and activate the E2 agent only if
this is the case. If not, we only print a warning and start the gNB
without the agent.
Note that previously, if not all fields are set correctly, the gNB
stopped.
To implement this behavior, it is necessary to change the defaults of
the RIC IP and the directory for SMs to a (non-NULL) default value.
Otherwise, the configuration system would not consider the field to be
set to the default, and wrongly assumes the field is set, even though it
is not; at least, this change is necessary to make config_isparamset()
return NULL if the configuration is not set.
3GPP has the concept of a gNB-CU-UP ID and a (separate) gNB ID (for gNB,
CU-CP). This commit introduces the gNB-CU-UP as a separate ID that has to be
set in the configuration file when running as a CU-UP. For the
CU/monolithic gNB, it is optional (but needs to be the same as the
gNB-ID if specified).
The CU-UP ID is necessary, as some entities, e.g., the e2 agent, need to
signal both IDs, e.g., to reconcile a CU-CP and (multiple) CU-UP(s)
belonging together.
3GPP has the concept of a gNB-DU ID and a (separate) gNB ID (for gNB,
CU). This commit introduces the gNB-DU as a separate ID that has to be
set in the configuration file. It is necessary, as some entities, e.g.,
the e2 agent, need to signal both IDs, e.g., to reconcile a CU and
(multiple) DU(s) belonging together.

Multiple DUs host cells, whose cell ID cannot match (to identify them
uniquely). Hence, don't check for equality with CU, because otherwise,
we can never connect multiple DUs.
This is a workaround for a problem described in #706. In short, we
cannot reuse the cu_add/remove_f1_ue_data() functions if we are in an
integrated CU-UP/CP ("CU"), but then we can also not reliably use
different UE IDs in CU-UP and CU-CP (except if using even more hacks).
An assoc_id of 0 is used to mark UEs whose DU is "offline" (not
connected). In this patch, if a DU disconnects, we go through all UEs
and set their assoc_id to 0 if they belong to a UE that just went
offline.
This code printed BW masks (what is this) and number of MIMO layers. It
was dependent on the current DU, and only showed the information for the
current DU config (SCS, band). On DU disconnect, it leads to segfaults
to this dependency, and IMO is not useful in itself (it could rather be
printed when receiving the UE capabilities, for all bands etc.).
To allow to send F1 messages to multiple DUs from the CU, we need to
send these messages via different assoc_id (SCTP association ID,
basically akin to a file descriptor). Currently, the assoc_id is stored
in a context at the F1 module and retrieved in
f1ap_itti_send_sctp_data_req().
To facilitate a later change towards indicating (from the RRC) to which
assoc_id (hence, DU) to send a message, we refactor all
CU_send_*()/DU_send_*() functions to take the assoc_id as a parameter to
which to send messages. In this commit, we then pass the assoc_id from
the context. A later commit changes this (at the CU) to pass the
assoc_id from the message to be sent.
Previous to this commit, the CU creates an F1 instance and initializes
GTP after a successful connection establishment, and tears the F1
instance down after the DU disconnects. This does not work when trying
to connect multiple DUs, or have them reconnect, as e.g., GTP
re-initialization fails (socket already bound).
This commit makes the CU F1 instance creation and GTP init at CU task
init (only once), and also frees the F1 instance only after the CU task
exits, which is at termination of the application, typically.
Remove dead code, result of 2136ceec0d: we
cannot connect() in GTP on multiple remotes (as then only packets of one
host might be received), but might need to send to multiple remote
sockets.
The DU UE capability printing depends on data on SCS and band, which
currently is only stored with the DU. To avoid any assert, we check
that the DU is present. A follow-up commit will rework this.
Before this commit, as visible in the handler of an F1 UE release, it
can happen that we forward the RRC Release message to a UE and start the
release timer, while also removing the F1 UE data (containing e.g., the
CU UE ID). This can lead to asserts, since there might still be
subsequent traffic for such UE during a short time, while the DU does
not have the secondary UE ID stored anymore.
This commit changes the logic. It introduces function
nr_mac_release_ue() that removes the UE at MAC and RLC, frees the F1 UE
data (if applicable), and sends the complete, after timing expiry. If
the UE is out of sync, this function is used to free the UE immediately.
This fixes#685 and #698.

- Set the correct QoS flow ID to associate a correct QoS flow to the
bearer: the UE would misassociate otherwise
- Set the DRB as the default: the handler applies bool with true==1, so
use bool value
