Make all targets compile
This MR enables us to compile all targets, and does that in one CI test. This
closes#726. Now, this should work:
cd ~/openairinterface5g
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -GNinja && ninja
To achieve this, I did the following:
- some targets have been fixed (warnings, errors)
- some targets have been removed when they did not seem to serve a good purpose
(e.g., an almost empty test)
- some targets have been commented (e.g., LTE simulators, some unitary tests)
which we maybe want to revive in the future
- some targets built when just building with ninja, but not all. For instance,
telnetsrv_enb would typically build, but it was missing a dependency. Doing
cmake .. -GNinja && ninja telnetsrv_enb would show this (in develop)
To help with the last bullet point, there is a script compile_targets.sh that
can compile targets independently (and in parallel, to not wait for ages) to
show that targets compile properly compile-targets.patch.
In almost all cases, the problem is that a specific module uses the logging
module, which depends on T, which needs to dynamically create headers. The way
to do this is to have a dependency, and many targets use generate_T or {T_LIB}
({} intentional: T might be absent, so then it evaluates to nothing). However,
not all do this, and those that depend on T actually don't depend on T, but on
the logging module, which in turn depends on T. So in many places, a simple
dependency onto log_headers fixes this problem, and generate_T or {T_LIB}
simplifies the dependency (but not always). The commits should have more info.
Note that at least the targets in FlexRIC do not all compile, at least in the
configuration that we use in docker/Dockerfile.build.ubuntu. So for the latter,
we cannot build with a simple ninja, but FlexRIC seems to be the only one that
does not compile. Since FlexRIC is a separate repository, that needs to be
addressed in the corresponding repository.
- Move 'What is a gNB neighbor?' explanation from rrc-usage.md to handover-tutorial.md where it belongs
- Replace generic parameter names with actual configuration parameter names and specific descriptions (e.g. gNB_ID, nr_cellid)
- Add example configuration structure showing proper syntax
- Add missing 'band' parameter that was not listed before
- Provide concrete examples and exact constraints for each parameter
- Cross-reference between documents for better organization
This addresses documentation issues where generic parameter descriptions were
not useful for developers configuring neighbor cells.
- Remove extensive traffic testing before HO (iperf tests 030001, 030002)
- Do 1 ping test after attachment
- Reduce ping packet count from 100 to 50 packets for remaining connectivity test
Time savings: ~2-3 minutes by removing traffic validation overhead
Split monolithic e1_send_bearer_updates into three focused functions:
- e1_send_bearer_updates(): DRB setup from F1 UE Context Modification Response
- e1_request_pdcp_status(): Request PDCP status during inter-CU handover
- e1_notify_pdcp_status(): Notify CU-UP with PDCP status during handover
Extract common helpers:
- append_e1_drb_mod_req(): Common DRB-to-mod for bearer request logic
- e1_send_bearer_modification_request(): Common sending step
Bug fixes:
- Fix loop bounds (i < n instead of i == n)
- Fix array access bounds checking
- Fix DRB ID consistency
Memory management:
- Add missing free_e1ap_context_mod_request calls
- Improve error handling with early returns
In the process:
- Simplify cuup_notify_reestablishment with FOR_EACH_SEQ_ARR loop
- Adopted all callers to use new consolidated functions
Improves maintainability and eliminates complex conditional logic.
Replace field-by-field assignment with struct copy for plmn_identity.
Both source and destination use identical plmn_id_t type, making
this change safe and more maintainable.
- Reduces lines of code
- More readable and less error-prone
- Single memory copy operation instead of multiple field assignments
- ngap_gNB_handover_notify: Fix misleading error message from 'Failed to encode'
to 'Failed to find UE context' for better clarity
- ngap_gNB_handle_ul_ran_status_transfer: Standardize error message format
from 'Could not find' to 'Failed to find' for consistency across functions
This ensures consistent and accurate error reporting across all NGAP handover functions.
- Update encoder functions in ngap_gNB_mobility_management.c to use calloc_or_fail
- Provides zero-initialized memory and consistent error handling
- Prevents uninitialized fields and improves memory safety
Also:
- Update NG Setup Request to use calloc_or_fail
- Replace inefficient 'allocate, extract, free' pattern with direct value extraction
- Remove unused functions get_gap_config_from_smtc() and get_gap_config()
- Add extract_gap_config_from_smtc() that extracts values directly without allocation
- Eliminates use-after-free risk and improves performance
- No allocation overhead, no memory leaks
- Add missing ASN_STRUCT_FREE for NR_MeasGapConfig in create_measgap_config
- Fix 48-byte measurement gap config leak in get_gap_config_from_smtc

Root cause: Handover context allocated in N2 handover source gNB trigger path (nr_rrc_trigger_n2_ho)
for any successful N2 handover but not properly freed in all handover completion scenarios.
The UE context release complete handler was missing cleanup for handover context.
Solution: refactor handover context cleanup
- Move nr_rrc_finalize_ho() call to rrc_delete_ue_data() for centralized cleanup
- Remove redundant nr_rrc_finalize_ho() calls from handover failure paths:
* rrc_CU_process_ue_context_release_request() - UE not deleted yet
* invalidate_du_connections() - UE will be deleted later
- Keep nr_rrc_finalize_ho() calls in handover success paths where UE continues operating
- Ensures handover context is cleaned up exactly once when UE is actually deleted
- Prevents potential double-free and use-after-free issues in handover cleanup
This centralizes all UE data cleanup in rrc_delete_ue_data() and ensures
handover context is properly managed throughout the UE lifecycle and cleaned up
when UE delete happens.

Root cause: ue_context_setup_request allocated NR_MeasurementTimingConfiguration via
get_nr_mtc() but never freed it after creating the measurement gap configuration.
The create_measgap_config function only reads from the structure and doesn't take
ownership, so the caller must free it.
- Replace heap allocation with stack allocation for seq_arr_t structures
- Use proper seq_arr_free() with free functions for ASN.1 structures
- Remove unnecessary malloc/free calls for sequence containers
- Improve memory safety and performance with automatic cleanup

- Add early check for existing UE context by AMF UE NGAP ID at beginning of rrc_gNB_process_Handover_Request
- Add dedicated function to get UE context by AMF UE NGAP ID: rrc_gNB_get_ue_context_by_amf_ue_ngap_id()
- Send handover failure with appropriate cause if UE context already exists
- Remove redundant ho_context NULL check that could never be true for newly created UE contexts
- Prevents duplicate handover processing and resource leaks
Move UE context creation and storage to after successful PDU encoding
to prevent memory leaks if encoding fails. Also add proper PDU cleanup
when AMF fetch fails and use consistent NULL check style.
This ensures UE context is only stored when the operation is guaranteed
to succeed, improving error handling and memory management.
In the current memory management the caller wasn't responsible for freeing
memory they allocate. The ngap_gNB_encode_pdu function was taking ownership
of PDU contents by calling ASN_STRUCT_FREE_CONTENTS_ONLY, while callers
also expected to manage the same memory. This created unclear ownership semantics and
potential double-free bugs.
- Remove ASN_STRUCT_FREE_CONTENTS_ONLY from ngap_gNB_encode_pdu to prevent double-free
- Remove unnecessary ASN_STRUCT_FREE when encode function returns NULL
- Add proper ASN_STRUCT_FREE cleanup for heap-allocated PDUs in ngap_gNB.c functions
- Add ASN_STRUCT_FREE_CONTENTS_ONLY cleanup for stack-allocated PDUs in NAS and context management functions
- Ensure consistent memory cleanup patterns across all NGAP encoder callers
- Fix potential memory leaks in all ngap_gNB_encode_pdu call sites
This prevents double-free bugs and ensures proper cleanup of ASN.1 structures
in both heap and stack allocation scenarios.
Add check for cu_exists_f1_ue_data() before calling cu_get_f1_ue_data()
to prevent assertion failure when telnet command 'ci fetch_du_by_ue_id'
is used for UEs that have been handed over via N2 (and no longer have
F1 UE data).
This fixes the crash:
Assertion (ret == HASH_TABLE_OK && data != ((void *)0)) failed!
In get_hashtable_data() /oai-ran/openair2/F1AP/f1ap_ids.c:36
element for ue_id 1 not found
The function now returns NULL gracefully when F1 UE data is not available.

- Add proper cleanup of allocated ASN.1 structures in all return paths
- Fix early returns that were leaking NR_HandoverPreparationInformation
- Fix early returns that were leaking NR_RRCReconfiguration
- Add cleanup at end of successful function execution
This prevents memory leaks when processing handover preparation information
during N2 handover procedures.
- Add UE context cleanup before sending handover failure message
- Prevents memory/resource leak when PDU session establishment fails during handover
- UE context was created but never cleaned up on failure path
This fixes a bug where UE contexts would accumulate over time
when handovers failed after context creation.
Since there is no UCI on PUSCH implementation in gNB, it is good to test
UE's implementation with matlab.
This commit allows to test with matlab in two ways:
1. generate OFDM waveform from ulsim and decode it in matlab using
uci_on_pusch_decode.m
2. generate codeword in matlab using uci_on_pusch_encode.m read it in
ulsim and compare the bits. ulsim option -o is used
When the codeword has UCI multiplexed with data, we need to handle UCI scrambling according to 38.211 section 6.3.1.1.
Especially when O_ACK <= 2 there are x and y placeholder bits for UCI.
Get beta offset, alpha scaling and other parameters to calculate rate matching information for UCI on PUSCH,
then use the rate matching info to encode UCI and re-encode PUSCH, call nr_uci_on_pusch to get final multiplexed codeword for scrambling.
NR UE: remove function get_nr_RSRP() and get_nr_rx_total_gain_dB() for cleanup
The function get_nr_RSRP() and get_nr_rx_total_gain_dB() are not used anywhere
in the code, removing for cleanup.
CI: Updates for HO and AW2S pipeline
This MR introduces several CI updates:
- Change center frequency from 3439 MHz (n78) to 4185 MHz (n77) in HO setup to
prevent interference with other lab setups.
- Enable attaching multiple AmariUEs simultaneously in the AW2S pipeline - save
~25s.
- Update RX gain configuration on AmariUE - improve DL throughput.
BWP with no PRACH occasions
This MR includes fixes at gNB and UE in case the current BWP has no PRACH
occasions, i.e. we need to switch to initial BWP.
These libraries depend on the logging module, so add the right
dependency log_headers. Indirectly, this will fulfill the condition of
T. I consider the prior usage of generate_T or {T_LIB} incorrect,
because basically none of these libraries actually, actively use T, but
rather only the logging module, which pulls in T. The dependency of
log_headers will also take care of generating and including T headers,
which is a dependency of the logging module.
For conf2uedata and related, fulfill the dependency
through conf2uedata_lib (on which the rest depends).
These libraries have no dependencies on UTIL, so it's better to omit it.
However, then the test is missing symbols for the config (which likely,
indirectly came through UTIL -> LOG -> CONFIG_LIB, so add it now onto
the test.
These libraries have an (indirect) dependency on T, either by using the
logging module (which in turn depends on T), or through other includes.
The easiest is to depend on the logging module, which will fulfil also
the T dependency.
It would equally be feasible to use the utils target (which in turn
depends on log_headers), but this would necessitate to compile, and does
not seem to be necessary.
Since E2 agent uses the config library, include it directly. This also
makes the dependency on T obsolete, because
- it is the logging headers that are needed, and
- the T dependency is fulfilled through the log_headers.
