Simplify interface handling by storing the name: this allows to simplify
to remove_ip_if(), which does not need to recreate a valid name, and
will simplify handling of ethernet PDU sessions with a possibly
different name.
Defacto, the PDU session ID for noS1 modes is already hardcoded, as
starting the nr-softmodem with --noS1 --default-pdu-id 1 leads to
Assertion (entity != ((void *)0)) failed!
In start_sdap_tun_gnb_first_ue_default_pdu_session() openair2/SDAP/nr_sdap/nr_sdap.c:163
Further, the --default-pdu-id parameter will be deactivated in a later
commit, and we cannot rely on it. Therefore:
- hardcode noS1 PDU ID (also used in --do-ra/--phy-test modes) to 10 and
use in gNB&UE
- pass the PDU session ID used in SDAP entity initialization down to
start_sdap_tun_gnb_first_ue_default_pdu_session() to always use the
correct one
For configuring a TAP interface, we need to set different options, which
is not easily feasible with the current change_interface_state() API (or
would make it more complex). To simplify while allowing to set flags
more flexibly, separate into two functions get/set_if_flags().
PROBLEM: In PNF mode, L1 is started from nfapi_pnf.c without verifying RU
readiness. The only gate is config_sync_var, but nr_softmodem.c sets this before
the RU (e.g., FHI-72) is actually started. As a result, START_REQUEST can
trigger L1 init while the RU is not yet ready -- this is an issue when using
FHI72 with DPDK BBDEV, where a pre-mature L1 init will crash the entire program
as DPDK BBDEV depends on xRAN's DPDK EAL.
FIX: Perform RU readiness checks before setting config_sync_var in NFAPI PNF mode.
This aligns PNF behavior with other modes and prevents L1 from starting before the
RU is operational.
NR UE: add neighboring cell measurements and measurement report of event A3
This is a rework of MR !2385 (closed), the goal is to add neighboring cell
measurements and measurement report of event A3 for NR UE.
This MR was tested with:
- 3rd-party gNB
- 2 OAI-gNB-DUs
The neighboring cell measurements and measurement report of event A3 for OAI-UE
are working as expected.
fix A3 event configuration

As a reference, for comparison purpose, PCAPs and TXT files for various tests
done in develop and in this MR are available in the MR description.
Integrate F1AP messages required for NRPPa
This MR is one of the several MRs that will follow in the integration of NRPPa
protocol (!2437) required for positioning in 5G NR. We specifically introduce
encoding and decoding of several F1AP messages including unit tests for
verification in this MR.
The details of the F1AP messages introduced here can be seen below:
- POSITIONING INFORMATION REQUEST
- POSITIONING INFORMATION RESPONSE
- Supported optional field: SRS Configuration
- POSITIONING INFORMATION FAILURE
- POSITIONING INFORMATION UPDATE
- Supported optional field: SRS Configuration
- POSITIONING ACTIVATION REQUEST
- POSITIONING ACTIVATION RESPONSE
- POSITIONING ACTIVATION FAILURE
- POSITIONING DEACTIVATION
- TRP INFORMATION REQUEST
- TRP INFORMATION RESPONSE
- Supported : NR PCI, NG-RAN CGI, NR ARFCN, Geogarphical Coordinates
- TRP INFORMATION FAILURE
- POSITIONING MEASUREMENT REQUEST
- Supported optional field: SRS Configuration
- POSITIONING MEASUREMENT RESPONSE
- POSITIONING MEASUREMENT FAILURE
- POSITIONING MEASUREMENT REPORT
- POSITIONING MEASUREMENT ABORT
- POSITIONING MEASUREMENT FAILURE INDICATION
- POSITIONING MEASUREMENT UPDATE
- Supported optional field: SRS Configuration
The reference to these messages can be found in 3GPP 38.473 v16.21.0
CI: disable aerial x86 build pipeline
We use Aerial exclusively on ARM/gracehopper, so no need to build it on
x86. On this occasion, rename the "kind" (ID which images to build) to
x86 for clarity and align with the other "kinds" (build_cross_arm,
native_armv9, ...).
While testing the gNB with two hypotetical neighbors, some issues were found
with A3 event configuration.
The configuration of neighbors is:
neighbour_list = (
{
nr_cellid = 12345679L;
neighbour_cell_configuration = (
{
gNB_ID = 0xba0;
nr_cellid = 720898;
physical_cellId = 1;
absoluteFrequencySSB= 621312;
subcarrierSpacing = 1;
band = 78;
plmn = { mcc = 505; mnc = 01; mnc_length = 2 };
tracking_area_code = 1;
},
{
gNB_ID = 0xea0;
nr_cellid = 1345678L;
physical_cellId = 2;
absoluteFrequencySSB= 640000;
subcarrierSpacing = 1;
band = 78;
plmn = { mcc = 505; mnc = 01; mnc_length = 2 };
tracking_area_code = 1;
}
);
}
);
There were two problems.
The first problem is:
- when only default A3 event is configured, it is duplicated in the
RRC Reconfiguration Report Config To AddMod list with IDs 4 and 5
To test this case, the event configuration is:
nr_measurement_configuration = {
Periodical = {
enable = 1;
includeBeamMeasurements = 1;
maxNrofRS_IndexesToReport = 4;
};
A2 = {
enable = 1;
threshold = 60;
time_to_trigger = 1;
};
A3 = (
{
physCellId = -1;
offset = 15;
hysteresis = 2;
time_to_trigger = 3
}
);
};
The second problem is:
- when configuring an A3 event with an unknown physCellId, the gNB
does not include any A3 event in the RRC Reconfiguration Report
Config To AddMod list (which is correct), but configures some
meas ID with nonexistant Report Config IDs
To test this case, the event configuration is:
nr_measurement_configuration = {
Periodical = {
enable = 1;
includeBeamMeasurements = 1;
maxNrofRS_IndexesToReport = 4;
};
A2 = {
enable = 1;
threshold = 60;
time_to_trigger = 1;
};
A3 = (
{
physCellId = 10;
offset = 15;
hysteresis = 2;
time_to_trigger = 3
}
);
};
Reworking A3 event configuration as done in this commit solves both
issues.
CORESET 0 is configured in the configuration file by 'initialDLBWPcontrolResourceSetZero' and PDSCH TDA list is configured based on the current BWP size.
It may happen that the user configures a 2 symbol CORESET 0 for a BWP >= 48 PRBs (which is a valid 3GPP configuration) but in function 'nr_rrc_config_dl_tda' this scenario is not taken in account causing an overlap between PDSCH and PDCCH symbols.
This leads to very unreliable Msg2 and Msg4 decoding at the UE, but from time to time it succeeds, which becomes hard to identify this issue.
Correct how the slot for SIB1 is computed in case of MUX pattern 2 and 3.
Renamed n_0 to slot for clarity. n_c was never used outside of the function, so
remove it where it is not used.
We use Aerial exclusively on ARM/gracehopper, so no need to build it on
x86. On this occasion, rename the "kind" (ID which images to build) to
x86 for clarity and align with the other "kinds" (build_cross_arm,
native_armv9, ...).
