N2 handover
This MR introduces full support for N2 handover, covering handover
decision, preparation, execution, and notification between source and
target NG-RAN nodes.
Key features:
1. Handover Decision & Preparation:
- Implement N2 handover decision based on UE measurement reports.
- Generate the Handover Preparation Information message, including
RRCReconfiguration.
- Send Handover Required message from the source NG-RAN to the AMF.
2. Handover Execution:
- Decode and handle the Handover Request on the target NG-RAN.
- Process the Handover Command on the source gNB, triggering
RRCReconfiguration.
- Initiate Handover Notify after successful completion.
3 NGAP & RRC Enhancements:
- Implement NGAP encoding/decoding functions for Handover Required,
Handover Request, Handover Command, Handover Failure, and Handover
Notify (3GPP TS 38.413).
- Adds NG-RAN Status Transfer support (UL/DL) for PDCP COUNT
preservation during mobility:
- support for NGAP Uplink and Downlink RAN Status Transfer messages
(TS 38.413 §9.2.3.13-14) to enable proper PDCP COUNT value
transfer during handover or recovery: NGAP encoding/decoding for
RAN Status Transfer, PDCP helpers to extract and apply COUNT (HFN
+ SN) per DRB. This aligns with TS 38.300 §9.2.3.2.1 and TS 23.502
§4.9.1.3.3, ensuring PDCP status preservation in AM.
4. Testing:
- Introduce a Telnet command to manually trigger N2 handover using UE
ID and neighbor PCI.
- Add configuration file for testing N2 handover with a target gNB.
The pipeline is using the already existing conf files
for the source/target gNB CUs/DUs.
For the sake of simplicity, neighbour-config.conf has
been rewritten and simplified in this commit, then
adopted in this pipeline. The file was not used before.
Add SYS_NICE capability to enable setting thread priority and affinity
in rfsim5g tests. This improves execution speed in test cases with
heavier processing workloads.
RF simulator: Fix concurrency issues during new client connections
- Fix concurrency issues happening when a new client connects, sometimes
leading to a total softmodem deadlock.
- trace in 4G RAR processing to debug ci result
Fix concurrency issues happening when a new client connects, sometimes
leading to a total softmodem deadlock.
Key changes:
- Fix sample sending on new client connection: send the first
sample only to the newly connected client.
- Remove the --rfsimulator.hanging-workaround option
- Replace global nb_ue and Sockmutex with nb_cnx and Sockmutex
in rfsimulator_state_t for better concurrency and clarity.
- `init: true` initializes the docker container with tini or alternative - it is
used to collect all the processes and correctly pass the termination signal to
them, this allows the docker container to be stopped without waiting 10 seconds
to kill the container
- speeding up the healthchecks by reducing the interval from 1-10s to 0.5s during
start period

Added 3 way F1 handover test with data exchange in the F1 pipeline.
The major change is that the UE is acting as a server in the handover
scenarion, so it needs to comply with the changes in !3280.

* trigger re-establshemnt on DU: reset RLC counters on DRB 1
for OAI UE, since SRB 1 does not work for lack of periodic
measurements reports
* how is the re-establishment triggered?
* a transmission on DRB 1 occurs
* detection of a mismatch of RLC counters at the UE side
* max number of RLC retransmissions reached
* RLF detection
* verify re-establishment on CU: we ping the core from the UE; this
sends packets on DRB, and because the sequence number mismatches, will
trigger a reestablishment. We accept in the ping that a couple of
packets might be lost; after ping is over, reestablishment must be
done as well (else the ping will already fail).
address sanitizer fails with this error upon starting the DU:

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: odr-violation: global 'log_mem_write_side' at /oai-ran/common/utils/LOG/log.c:78:14
So we do as suggested and disable ODR violations to make the test pass.
A proper solution would be to link this function only once.
- Test only one DU at the CU (3 DUs is tested in F1+E1)
- Harmonize IP configuration to make it simpler to reuse in the F1+E1
test
- Speed up the test by reducing the number of steps to deploy core/RAN
- Add traffic test
3GPP has the concept of a gNB-DU ID and a (separate) gNB ID (for gNB,
CU). This commit introduces the gNB-DU as a separate ID that has to be
set in the configuration file. It is necessary, as some entities, e.g.,
the e2 agent, need to signal both IDs, e.g., to reconcile a CU and
(multiple) DU(s) belonging together.
* Proxy no longer required for git cloning
* Most of the IP addresses have been changed
- Remaining --> 192.168.18.89 for amariue
