nr_DRB_preconfiguration() does a "pre-configuration" for the default DRB
for "noS1" mode, i.e., when there is no connection to core network. In
this case, there is no PDU session to be set up, and hence we need to
preconfigure the DRBs.
We replace this function with partially existing functions and a new
function fill_nr_noS1_bearer_config() which returns a bearer
configuration for the noS1 case, also better reflected in the function
name. It has also been moved to asn1_msg.c, away from the actual PDCP
layer.
For nr_DRB_preconfiguration() and fill_default_secondaryCellGroup(),
there is duplicated code to generate and RLC-BearerConfig, when calling
the existing get_DRB_RLC_BearerConfig() (with the right parameters)
yields a similar configuration (see exceptions below).
Differences:
- We do not support reestablishmentRLC, so we don't set it
- Set prioritisedBitrate to 8kbps instead of infinity (we don't
prioritize anything, anyway)
- bucketSizeDuration is 50ms instead of 100ms
This commit fixes a bug caused by global variables in the gNB_MAC_INST
structure used to transfer MAC scheduler's results to the PHY layer.
When using several threads in the PHY layer, it may happen that the
MAC scheduler is called a second time by the second PHY thread for the
next slot before the content of the global variables in the gNB_MAC_INST
structure used to store the result of the MAC scheduler for the current
slot have been consumed by the first thread, leading to unpredictable
results (all of them certainly wrong).
The solution is to introduce a small memory management module for the
interface between the PHY threads and the MAC scheduler. The MAC
scheduler now fills the data structures passed to it, and not a
global variable anymore. The PHY layer manages the structures and
ensures that no data is overwritten before being fully consumed by
the various threads of the PHY layer.
Some care has to be taken because several PHY threads will access the
same structures at the same time for a given slot (in read mode, so
it's okay). A mechanism of reference counting has thus been introduced.
Only one CC is supported. This restriction should not be too hard
to remove if/when needed. (The code before this commit does not seem
to work for more than one CC anyway.)
DL config as array in MAC
Run RX slot processing in Tpool thread
Fixed race in phy config
Changed mac_IF_mutex
Proc Tx: Lets wait for Proc Rx to get ACK/NACK
-(only on slots that carry ACK/NACK)
Fix problem with rfsim
Separated PDCCH and PDSCH decoding functions. Run PDCCH decoding in main UE_thread.

needed for parallel processing of slots
Moved DLSCH transport block buffer to stack
rx_ind as static allocation
L2sim: Fixed calling of MAC sched in wrong slot
Fix DCI extract bug for RA procedure
nr_pdcp_entity_recv_sdu() processes PDCP SDUs, and forwards the PDU at the
end of the function, while having the PDCP lock. This can lead to
deadlocks, e.g., when another thread goes through RLC and tries to
access the PDCP while the PDCP tries to lock the RLC.
This commit changes the logic: instead of having recv_sdu() forward the
PDU directly, it fills a buffer with the PDU (thus the name change to
process_sdu()), and returns. We then unlock the PDCP, before forwarding
the PDU, thus eliminating potential deadlocks.
