In order to be usable in parallel of FHI 7.2, BBDEV devices should be included in the EAL initialization that is prformed by xran.
This commit adds a way of adding the BBDEV device from OAI.
Also fixes an issue with pkgconfig in xran.
Get xran stats in the trx_oran_get_stats function
and use trx_oran_get_stats upon stopping and ending RF.

Look up xran_fh_init/xran_fh_config through driver instead of peaking
into xran internals. Note that xran writes values back into these
structs during initialization, and hence it is important to store them
_after initialization_.
Some remarks regarding less obvious changes:
- slotnum is replaced by slots_in_sf: SLOTNUM_PER_SUBFRAME uses the time
duration of a slot (=interval_us_local) to calculate the numbers of
slots in a subframe, which can be done with a simple shift instead
- The prach duration should be queried from the PRACH configuration
table. The function to query the occasion info is part of the MAC
layer code while this information can be used outside of this layer.
Use header `nr_prach_config.h` to not duplicate functionality.

Split out type and function definitions for a cleaner separation for
some consumers of these functions. Concretely, nr_mac_common.h includes
various ASN.1 NR RRC headers, but not all consumers of these APIs might
need these headers. For instance, the next commit will use these
functions in the driver for 7.2 (it needs to compute PRACH length), but
the driver itself does not depend on nor does it need the ASN.1 NR RRC
headers. Defining a new header avoids the problem.
The buffers are set up by the OAI xran driver, so instead of peaking
into xran internal data, access the buffers through the driver directly.
The buffers get set up through the following xran calls
In xran_5g_fronthault_config():
- src => sFrontHaulTxBbuIoBufCtrl
- srccp => sFrontHaulTxPrbMapBbuIoBufCtrl
- dst => sFrontHaulRxBbuIoBufCtrl
- dstcp => sFrontHaulRxPrbMapBbuIoBufCtrl
In xran_5g_prach_req()
- prach(dst) => sFHPrachRxBbuIoBufCtrl
- prach(dst)decomp => sFHPrachRxBbuIoBufCtrlDecomp
Note that in all cases:
- the xran buffer array is [XRAN_N_FE_BUF_LEN][XRAN_MAX_SECTOR_NR][XRAN_MAX_ANTENNA_NR]
(of [internal] type BbuIoBufCtrlStruct, but we give an sBufferList)
- the driver buffer array is [XRAN_MAX_ANTENNA_NR][XRAN_N_FE_BUF_LEN]
Hence, we switch the order of indexing, leave out the sector, and omit
the sBufferList member.
xran_get_slot_idx_from_tti() has been introduced to access data
information from xran. However, it makes no sense, as the used macros to
calculate frame, slot, subframe, are already in the public API. Hence,
use these macros directly.
It would be possible to remove xran_get_slot_idx_from_tti(), but doing
so we would need to update the patch ID, causing trouble to users.
CI: Add "may_fail" step to execute flaky steps
Add a generic may_fail CI XML step option that indicates the CI step may
fail, but the CI would still be marked as succeeded (instead of skipping
all steps and mark as failed). The cause of this failure depends on the
specific step, e.g., Iperf failing because of low throughput. This
allows to clean up some code and e.g. remove the command_fail option of
Custom_Command, which is then superfluous (and less generic). An
inconvenience is that those may_fail steps will be marked as "failed" in
the HTML. Later cleanup can correct this.
The may_fail is used for executing FHI7.2 testing to push 700 Mbps in DL
(close to the maximum).
Fix some bugs and add some clean up, see commit messages.
Enabling usage of ulsyncvalidityDuration timer in SIB19
ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration in SIB19 from Spec 38.331 v17.12 A validity
duration configured by the network for assistance information which
indicates the maximum time duration (from epochTime) during which the UE
can apply assistance information without having acquired new assistance
information. The unit of ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration is second. Value s5
corresponds to 5 s, value s10 indicate 10 s and so on.
ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration-r17 ENUMERATED{ s5, s10, s15, s20, s25, s30, s35,s40, s45, s50, s55, s60, s120, s180, s240, s900}
Implementation of epochtime is under discussion.
It can be configured in configuration file according to the above
enumeration. For GEO - 240s, MEO - 20s, LEO-5s can be used.
USRP lib: fix incorrect config check for time_source fallback
Corrected a logic bug in usrp_lib.cpp where the code mistakenly checked
openair0_cfg[0].clock_source instead of time_source when a time_source
was already specified in usrp_args.
Also improved the warning log to clarify that the config value is being
ignored in favor of the explicit user-provided usrp_args.

NAS Registration Reject: Add bounds and lengths checks
This change adds lengths checks to the received registration reject
message and also performs a bounds check for the received cause.
Since the cause is not checked, any string in the memory can be
dereferenced, possibly leading to DoS.

Finalize FAPI dump functions, add Digital Beamforming Table and Precoding Matrix
Table to CONFIG.request
This MR finalizes the addition of dump utility functions for the PARAM.response,
CONFIG.request, CONFIG.response, TX_DATA.request and UCI.indication messages.
These functions are intended to be used to aid in debugging FAPI messages between
the VNF and the PNF by printing out every parameter in a more readable form,
instead of a simple hexdump. These are also used by the nFAPI Hex Parser utility,
to be able to debug an Hex dump provided from elsewhere.
Furthermore, this MR also adds the necessary logic to send/receive the Digital
Beamforming Table and Precoding Matrix Table, this in the CONFIG.request message.
This is achieved by the addition of 2 Vendor Extension TLVs (0xA002 and 0xA003),
in order to be able to reuse existing logic to pack/unpack the data. Note: The
present implementation predicts the existence of multiple instances of the
Precoding Matrix Table via the parameter num_pm_idx, whic is not present in the
SCF specification. Note: The created TLVs are only used to ease the pack/unpack
procedure, by allowing to reuse already existing logic for other TlVs, the tag
and length are not sent.
The necessary additions to the utility functions are done to account for these
table. The CONFIG.request unitary test is changed to fill these tables with
randomized data to test transport and copy.
DL NAS Transport: Fix Message Type retrieval on too short message
The change addresses the SM message type retrieval for DL NAS Transport
messages. The assumption of an offset 17 = 7 (MM Sec) + 3 (MM Plain) + 1
(IEI) + 2 (Len) + 4 (SM) is correct.
However, if the DL NAS Transport is received in a plain header, the
lengths would not add up anymore. (This is not complying with the
standard, so not allowed, but possible). The check for the length is
necessary to not process arbitrary memory contents beyond the
pdu_buffer.
Suspend RBs at UE
In case of suspended radio bearer (by RRC), the MAC needs to discarded received
PDUs and avoid to transmit using LCID related to that RB
"multi-ue profile" was a specific iperf option to do iperf across
multiple UEs. However, this is not necessary anymore, the Iperf
handling multiple UEs "implicitly" (based on the number of UEs).
As of the parent commit, there is a generic "may_fail" option through
which we could still ignore an error. Thus, command_fail is superfluous,
and avoids some extra code.
Further, in all these cases, we should better be informed about any
error, so let's not use may_fail for these tests.
There might be various occasions where a CI step should be attempted to
be executed, despite a chance of failing. For instance, we might want
to try executing an instable Iperf test, and still mark the CI as
passing if it fails.
This commit introduces a generic "may_fail" option that will mark any CI
test as succeeded, despite having failed.
Ideally, we would print a warning in the HTML code, but this is not
possible because each step emits its own HTML code, instead of the main
loop handling this. We can improve this in the future.
SPEC 38.331 section 5.2.2.6
Inform MAC that UL SYNC got lost because of T430 expiry
- Send message NR_MAC_RRC_CONFIG_RESET with cause UL_SYNC_LOST_T430_EXPIRY to MAC
Reacquire SIB19 after T430 expiry
This is not checked in this commit
- RACH needs to be performed through probably PDCCH order to reobtain UL-SYNC
- system usecase involving Recovery from T430 expiry not tested yet as that requires changes on gNB side.
Spec 38.331 section 5.2.2.4.21 indicates this
1> start or restart T430 for serving cell with the timer value set to ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration for the serving cell
from the subframe indicated by epochTime for the serving cell;
NOTE: UE should attempt to re-acquire SIB19 before the end of the duration indicated by ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration and epochTime
Epochtime IE
When explicitly provided through SIB, or through dedicated signaling, the EpochTime is the starting time of a DL
sub-frame, indicated by a SFN and a sub-frame number signaled together with the assistance information.
For serving cell, the field sfn indicates the current SFN or the next upcoming SFN after the frame where the message indicating the epochTime is received.
This field is mandatory present when ntn-Config is provided in dedicated configuration.
gNB implementation related to epochtime will be done in a separate merge request.
Adds the packing and unpacking functions needed for the PM Table in CONFIG.request
This table tag is specified in SCF222.10.06(0x104B), previous versions didn't have a tag for this table, and this version of the spec introduces the parameter `num_pm_idx`, previously not present.
A struct nfapi_nr_pm_tlv_ve_t is added to represent this TLV in order to be able to use the pack_nr_tlv function.
The necessary additions to the utility functions are done to account for this table.
The unitary test is changed to fill this table with randomized data to test transport and copy.
Adds the packing and unpacking functions needed for the DBT Table in CONFIG.request
This table tag is specified in SCF222.5.0 (0x1043) and this tag is used to transport the table, previous versions did not include a tag for the table.
A struct nfapi_nr_dbt_tlv_ve_t is added to represent this TLV in order to be able to use the pack_nr_tlv function.
The necessary additions to the utility functions are done to account for this table.
The unitary test is changed to fill this table with randomized data to test transport and copy.
NR UE fallback to RRCSetup from RRCReestablishment
Implementation of the procedure to handle reception of RRCSetup as response

Step 004000 appears double in the XML description. Remove one to avoid
that it is executed twice (because the Python code goes through the list
of test descriptions and executes all that match the current ID =>
double if appears twice).
Corrected a logic bug in usrp_lib.cpp where the code mistakenly checked
openair0_cfg[0].clock_source instead of time_source when a time_source
was already specified in usrp_args.
Also improved the warning log to clarify that the config value is being
