remove un-necessary global variables
Remove global variables that can be removed by a trivial way:
- simply dead globals
- or reference is a single source, so can be static
setting them static reduces the scope, that is a progress, but of course as
for all static variables, the code is still not re-entrant
Documentation: add multi-UE deployment with RFsimulator
Extended doc/NR_SA_Tutorial_OAI_nrUE.md with section about how to run multiple UEs
- multiple UEs with namespaces (provided new script)
- multiple UEs with Docker UEs
- updated rfsimulator and channel simulation tutorials
- updated README.md
T tracer: add macpdu traces for the NR UE
MIB, SIB1, random access and regular scheduling are traced.
At the beginning of a connection (rrc setup request and rrc setup), the
RNTI is reported as 0. Might be fixed, somehow, if absolutely needed (not
sure).
- removed some whitespace noise.
- cleaned up CMakeLists.txt
- reintegrated task_manager.c into thread-pool.c
- cleaned up some unnecessary code

FAPI P7 Refactoring and unitary test creation
This MR is a follow-up to the work done in !2714 this time separating
the P7 FAPI messages into its own library (nr_fapi_p7).
In the same way, utility functions to copy, free and compare have been
added for each message, as well as an addition function to get the
allocated size for a message, which is used for the messages that can be
too big to fit in a buffer that's allocated in the stack.
Unitary tests have been added for each of the messages, testing
pack/unpack and the utility functions added.
Imscope updates
- Using imgui docking branch - allows window docking.
- Moved scopes to different windows to allow docking.
- Disabled scatterplot for time domain samples - issues with amount of
vertices caused segfaults.
- Disabled IQ heatmaps for RX IQ samples on gNB and UE - this was
incorrect and currently I don't know how to fix it. This will be
reenabled once it is.
- added a simple menu and disabled demo windows by default.
Update NR UE threading model
This updates the NR UE threading model by preventing calling threadpool
from threadpool and fixes deadlock issues related to processSlotTX. By
making processSlotTX run to completion instead of starting and waiting
for other threads to finish it prevents locking thread pool cores,
therefore prevening deadlocks.
There is a slight difference here compared to the previous version where
I do not use the UL actor as I believe it is not necessary,
processSlotTX satisfies the run-to-completion requirement now. If in the
future any UL procedure would be parallelized using the thread pool it
should either be done in a run-to-completion model or the processSlotTX
function should be taken off the thread pool.
The documentation has been updated.

Renames nfapi_nr_srs_reported_symbol_t prgs into *reported_symbol_list for two reasons:
So that the name is more representative of what the parameter represents.
For it to actually be a list, and not assume only 1 reported symbol is used.
Allocate reported_symbol_list in unpack_nr_srs_beamforming_report.
Updated all references to prior prgs to point to the first position of reported_symbol_list, still only effectively using the first reported_symbol.
Rename fill_srs_reported_symbol_list into fill_srs_reported_symbol and update input parameter name, since it only fills the information related to one reported symbol
Run the last job of gNB pusch channel estimation inline
In case of 1 antenna this prevents the usage of threadpool which
eliminates the thread pool overhead. In case of >1 antenna the
threadpool contention should be reduced providing smaller benefits.
T2: minor fix for 4x4 processing
- correct max number of LDPC segments for T2 processing
- use pointer arithmetics in retrieve_ldpc_enc_op() in T2 lib to
optimize loop processing
Implement run-to-completion for processSlotTX. This is achieved by using a new
dynamic_barrier_t which allows to specify callback after the first join has been
made.

the thread pool overhead.

Refactor of includes in gNB/UE for improved header management
This merge request implements changes suggested by the Include What You Use
(IWYU) open source tool to streamline the project’s header file usage.
The adjustments ensure that each file includes only the necessary headers for
the symbols it uses, making the code more efficient and maintainable.
Unnecessary includes have been removed, and missing headers have been added
where required. This improves modularity and reduces inter-dependencies between
files, helping to avoid future build issues caused by unused or missing includes.
Each output has been manually reviewed.
Followed a similar approach as in !2953 (merged).
Affected folders/files:
- NR_MAC_gNB/main.c
- nr-softmodem.c
- unitary simulators: nr_dlsim, nr_ulsim, prachsim
- openair2/RRC/NR
- openair3/NGAP
- openair2/LAYER2/nr_pdcp
- openair2/SDAP/nr_sdap
Ue monitoring stats
- one commit to add UE mac stats similar to gNB one and remove a partial
implementation at phy level of some counters
- second commit only rename the two UE persisted HARQ tyepdef names for DL
and for UL (one was saying "UE" but not the direction and the second the
direction but not "UE")
Fix a small bug with total_res in gNB PUSCH symbol processing
Replaced total_res with res_per_task when deciding whether to start a threadpool
task or not. This does not have big impact on the software as the
nr_pusch_symbol_processing will recheck ul_valid_re_per_slot anyway but it may
reduce the number of thread pool tasks created.
The queue for finished jobs of PUSCH channel estimation is only used inside
nr_pusch_channel_estimation(). Since initialization is fast, it can be
declared on the stack in the function where it is used.
This commit enables the optional use of Tracy for profiling NR UE & gNB.
See https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy/releases/tag/v0.11.1 for details.
How to compile:
use -DTRACY_ENABLE=ON to enable instrumentation and sampling
For gNB currently only sampling is implemented.
How to collect data:
- Windows hosts: tracy-profiler.exe in link above
- Linux hosts: Compile tracy-profiler from source
Enabling collection from docker:
- open port 8086
- to collect cpu data
--privileged
--mount "type=bind,source=/sys/kernel/debug,target=/sys/kernel/debug,readonly"
--user 0:0
--pid=host
How to add instrumentation:

Fix error reported by the T2 card when running nr_dlsim with 4 DL layers.
Error can be reproduced by running:
./nr_dlsim -n100 -s30 -e25 -b273 -R273 -x4 -z4 -y4 -P --ldpc_offload.dpdk_dev 41:00.0 -c
So far we set NR_LDPC_MAX_NUM_CB to 72, which is sufficient for max 2 DL layers.
Set max possible number of LDPC segments based on the max number of layers
and max number of DLSCH segments (currently it is 144).
Added NTN FDD FR1 bands defined in 3GPP TS 38.101-5
Added support for NTN FDD FR1 bands 254, 255, 256 as specified in 3GPP
TS 38.101-5. Example Conf files added for band254 for 15Khz, 5Mhz and
30Khz, 10Mhz configurations. Tested NTN GEO configuration on band 254
using these conf files.
NR UE trigger for re-establishment
The implementation in this MR triggers RRC re-establishment at the UE in case
of radio link failure either for out of sync messages from lower layers or in
case maximum number of RLC retransmissions is reached.
