This feature shall allow in future to simulate an arbitratry number of UEs connected to an other arbitrary number of cells.
Therefore each RF-frontend (also called RU) needs to be configured for one specific cell.
In case of handover of a UE from one cell to another cell, it needs to switch RUs accordingly (TODO).
There has to be a 1-to-1 mapping between RUs and cells.
Each UE will be assigned to one of the defined cells.
Initially all UEs are assigned to cell 0.
UE support to send CSI report on PUSCH
Earlier work on UCI on PUSCH implemented only ACK/NACK. This MR extends that
to send CSI report too.
This branch is verified with MATLAB implementation for multiplexing CSI part 1
and part 2 on PUSCH. It is also verified with srsRAN gNB which successfully
decodes CSI part 1 on PUSCH.
Fix RSRP overflow
If UE L1 measure an RSRP = 0 it would report to L2 and RSRP value of -INT_MAX
dBm causing overflow in the qsort to determine the best RSRPs
The global variable rx_gain_off was always 0.0, as it was not even modified by the NR UE command line parameter --ue-rxgain-off.
That command line parameter modified only a parameter in the struct nrUE_params_t, which was not used at all and is removed in this commit, too.
Also, the global variable rx_gain_off was just added to rx_total_gain_dB and subtracted from it again in nr_rf_card_config_gain().
So we simplify that function slightly, too.
Clear memory in shm_td_iq_channel after RX
Clear memory in shm_td_iq_channel after RX. This prevents the IQ
from being read twice. This can happen if the application crashes
and will keep the other side reading historical IQ samples.
Update vrtsim timing job thread
List of changes:
- avoid calculating accumulated rounding error by calculating absolute
sample index based on CLOCK_REALTIME every time.
- use threadCreate instead of plain pthread_create which assigns a unique
thread name and simplifies debugging
Use nr_get_csi_measurements() function to get CSI report for PUCCH and
UCI on PUSCH.
Harmonize filling csi report for UCI on PUSCH for periodic and aperiodic
CSI reports.
Extract the common RRC container handling logic from
ue_context_setup_request() and ue_context_modification_request() into
a new static function handle_ue_context_rrc_container().
This refactoring:
- Eliminates code duplication between the two functions
- Centralizes RRC container forwarding logic
- Improves code maintainability and consistency
Extract common CellGroupConfig encoding logic from
ue_context_setup_request() and ue_context_modification_request() into
encode_cellgroup_config().
Replace uper_encode_to_buffer() with uper_encode_to_new_buffer() to:
- Remove 1024-byte buffer size limit
- Automatically allocate correct buffer size
- Simplify code (no manual bit-to-byte conversion)
- Align with other protocol encoders
- Add function documentation blocks for `rrc_fill_f1_ue_context_setup`,
`rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_for_target_du`, and `rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_from_e1_response`
explaining their purpose, parameters, and usage scenarios
- Add inline comments throughout these functions
Improve maintainability by centralizing common F1AP UE context setup
logic into reusable helper functions, enabling consistent handling
and clear serving/target DU entry points for different scenarios.
Code duplication prevention is a beneficial side effect, since at
least one helper function is adopted in subsequent commits.
Major changes:
- Move DRB list filler from external file into rrc_gNB.c and rename
fill_drb_to_be_setup to rrc_fill_f1_drb_to_setup for naming
consistency
- Add static helper rrc_fill_f1_ue_context_setup to populate common
fields shared between serving DU and target DU scenarios:
- Rename rrc_gNB_generate_UeContextSetupRequest to
rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_from_e1_response to clarify it prepares
F1AP context setup from E1AP bearer setup response for serving DU
- Add rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_for_target_du (for target DU in
handover/reestablishment scenarios)
- Adopt helper rrc_fill_f1_ue_context_setup in both functions
When processing UL RRC messages from PDCP, the DU association ID (assoc_id)
was not being propagated to RRC, resulting in assoc_id being 0 in
rrc_gNB_decode_dcch.
Fix by setting originInstance in the ITTI message header to the stored
du_assoc_id from ue_data when PDCP creates the F1AP_UL_RRC_MESSAGE.

Standardize Documentation Formatting and Navigation for MkDocs
This merge request improves and organizes the documentation to align with MkDocs
requirements. The following guidelines have been applied:
Guidelines Followed
Fix Broken Links and Paths
- Updated all links with proper paths to ensure correct rendering in MkDocs.
Correct Headings
- Removed multiple H1 headings (#).
- Subheadings use H2–H6 (## to ######) for consistent structure.
Proper URL Formatting
- All URLs now follow standard Markdown syntax,
e.g., [Example](https://www.example.com).
Proper Syntax
- Tables, lists, and code blocks use standard Markdown formatting to ensure
correct rendering.
Remove HTML Formatting
- Removed unnecessary inline HTML styling from documents, retaining only the
content.
Notes and Warnings
- Converted notes and warnings into blockquote syntax (>).
This ensures the documentation is properly structured, consistent, and
MkDocs-friendly.
- Include functions/file_names in backticks for readability
- Include the images directly inside the document (rather than plain image file name)
- Give relevant spacing if required
- Remove multiple single top-level (# H1) headings per file
- Use (# H2 and ###### H6) sub-headings for consistency
- Remove any trailing # in the headings
- This ensures proper table of contents rendering in MkDocs.
- Also removed RUN_NR_multiple_BWPs.md as it is moved to MAC usage
- bold current status for clarity and add spacing for better readability
- Wrap processes in the test setup block inside code blocks as they were rendered as GitLab issues
- Remove extra spacing in the test setup block
