The CI fails sometimes, because some processes/threads are created in
unpredictable order and if the client connects before the server is
ready some tests fail, as seen in the following log:
[UTIL] client/server iq-samples: launch sub-processes
[UTIL] threadCreate() for time client: creating thread (no affinity, default priority)
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: server] [mode: client] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
[UTIL] time client: connection to 127.0.0.1:7374 failed, try again in 1s
[UTIL] threadCreate() for time source iq samples: creating thread (no affinity, default priority)
[UTIL] threadCreate() for time server: creating thread (no affinity, default priority)
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: iq_samples] [mode: server] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
[UTIL] client/server: rlc ticks: 1000 pdcp ticks: 1000 x2ap ticks: 1000
CMDLINE: "/oai-ran/build/common/utils/time_manager/tests/test_time_manager_auto" "--time_management.mode" "server" "--time_management.time_source" "iq_samples"
[UTIL] client/server: rlc ticks: 0 pdcp ticks: 0 x2ap ticks: 0
CMDLINE: "/oai-ran/build/common/utils/time_manager/tests/test_time_manager_auto" "--time_management.mode" "client"
[UTIL] client-server iq-samples: ERROR
The client/server iq-samples test is started.
Then we see this log:
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: server] [mode: client] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
Which means that the client is running.
It tries to connect to the server (not running yet), but fails, so sleeps
for 1 second before attempting another connection to the server:
[UTIL] time client: connection to 127.0.0.1:7374 failed, try again in 1s
The sleep is done by the time_client thread, the main thread of the test
program continues and does a sleep(1).
Then the server arrives:
[UTIL] time manager configuration: [time source: iq_samples] [mode: server] [server IP: 127.0.0.1} [server port: 7374]
It sends all the ticks (to no client, since the client is still sleeping).
Then the test is over, the sleep(1) of the client finishes and the program
exits. The client never connected to the server.
We have this log:
[UTIL] client/server: rlc ticks: 0 pdcp ticks: 0 x2ap ticks: 0
And the test fails.
It's complicated to write an automatic test involving several uncoordinated
programs. The operating system may create processes in any order. We use
some sleeping to wait, but it may be too short or too long, leading to test
failure.
Let's see with more sleep if the CI fails less.
Fix PDSCH rate-matching for periodic CSI in UE
Changed the search structure to have periodic resoruce id in the outer
loop and configured resource set as inner loop to prevent configuring
resource that is not needed.
Use const for input pointers.
CI: refactor iperf3 UDP analysis function
- add helper function to covert reported bitrate values to Mbps for calculations
- clean up the UDP analysis function, improve test report formatting
- fix an issue where Gbps values were incorrectly reported
(example: https://jenkins-oai.eurecom.fr/job/RAN-SA-AERIAL-CN5G/4802/)
- update CI unit test report checks to match the new formatting

Add a CU-UP load tester and improve GTP performance
This adds a simple tester program for the CU-UP. It sets up a number of
UEs/bearers in the CU-UP via the E1 interface, then streams data in
downlink/uplink (as seen by the CU-UP). More information is available in
tests/nr-cuup/README.md.
Includes some fixes to properly verify that SCTP is installed, and use
"the right cmake way" to use it in cmake code (see commit for details).

T hacks: add new tracer ant0 and a tool to plot ofdm data from usrp or rfsim
(output or input)
The tool ant0 dumps IQ data to a file (or stdout) as float complex or short.
It is needed for a student's project. (Well, we could use record/extract, but
it's simpler.) The tool ofdm-plot is used to plot output or input signal from
gnb in the frequency domain. May be useful to debug, why not.
numelt in place of config_isparamset
config_isparamset doesn't seem to work for array types, a temporary solution is
using numelt to verify if the parameter is set in config file
NR UE: fix reliable SIB19 reception when ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration-r17 expires
Fixes:
- gNB: fix scheduling of Rel-17 SIBs
- gNB: fix case in update_SIB1_NR_SI() when multiple Rel-17 SIBs would be defined
- NR UE: fix calculation of SI window expiry
Updating LEO scenario to test this
- set ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration-r17 to 5 seconds for LEO scenario
- NTN config: setting sib1_tda is not required anymore
Remove these F1-C port numbers. The configuration is not actually
applied, and the default F1-C port number 38472 (see F1AP_PORT_NUMBER)
is hardcoded in the F1 module.
For the moment, I leave the configuration option, in case we want to
allow to configure the port numbers later).
Make a common pattern, which makes it simpler to find them in gNB logs,
and, maybe more importantly, link tunnel creation and update (the update
message was missing the "incoming" TEID, so it is not easy to link to
creation apart from the UE ID, but even then the UE might have multiple
tunnels).
Reuse the gtpv1u_bearer_t for internal functions. Hopefully this will
also simplify implementation of IPv6, as it encapsulates IP address
handling within gtpv1u_bearer_t.
The (remote) port number of the GTP module is configured during
initialization. It is therefore not required when calling
newGtpuCreateTunnel(), and could even lead to bugs (if another port
number is used than specified during GTP init).
This is a simple CU-UP load tester. It sets up a configurable number of UEs in the
CU-UP, then sends GTP traffic in downlink/uplink in the N3-F1/F1-N3
direction at the CU-UP. It then compares the sent and received data.
Additional parameters, such as amount of traffic, test length, packet
size, and IP addresses/ports are configurable.
To run:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -GNinja && ninja nr-cuup nr-cuup-load-test params_libconfig
./tests/nr-cuup/nr-cuup-load-test
./nr-cuup -O ../tests/nr-cuup/load-test.conf
The tester should be able to detect lost and reordered packets.
Example lost: Receive order 2,3,5,6 (lost packet 4)
=> on packet 2, expected 2, next=expected+1=3
=> on packet 3, expected 3, next=expected+1=4
=> on packet 5, expected 4, diff=5-4=1 (lost 1), next=payload+1=6
=> on packet 6, expected 6
=> 1 lost
Example reordered: Receiver order 2,5,3,6 (lost packet 4)
=> on packet 2, expected 2, next=expected+1=3
=> on packet 5, expected 3, diff=5-3=2 (lost 2), next=payload+1=6
=> on packet 3, expected 6, (reduce lost by 1 to 1), next=expected=6
=> on packet 6, expected 6
=> 1 lost
Example reordered: Receiver order 2,5,3,4,6 (no losses)
The boolean value v17_sib was not set to true when allocating si_schedulingInfo_v17 and schedulingInfo2_r17.
So multiple Rel-17 SIBs would lead to multiple allocations and only the last SIB being actually configured.
Fix this by removing the redundant v17_sib variable and directly check if the memory was already allocated.
Also move the definition and allocation of si_schedulingInfo_v17 closer to its actual usage.
Now that we reliably receive SIB19, we can set the ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration-r17 to a sane value
and thus make sure that the UE always has up-to-date SIB19 information.
- Add helper function to normalize bitrate values to Mbps for calculations.
- Add helper function to extract data from iperf test report.
- Clean up the UDP analysis function, improve test report formatting.
- Fix an issue where Gbps values were incorrectly reported due to inconsistent
unit parsing.
- Update CI unit test report checks to match the new formatting.
feat(LDPCImplementation.md): Fix documentation
Few ambiguities and outdated names were found in the LDPC documentation
by Vlademir Brusse (see in the devel mailing list).
- Outdated names of the functions of the segment coding interface.
- Ambiguity about loading of the segment coding libraries.
Fix Dedicated BWPs
- Improve SearchSpace selection
- Improve CORESET selection
- Fix fill 'initialDownlinkBWP->pdsch_Config' when there are
DedicatedBWPs
* This fixes the reported 'RSRP = 0' issue when the UE is in the
InitialBWP and we have DedicatedBWPs configured
- Add a 'common' type SearchSpace in the NR_BWP_DownlinkDedicated IE for
DedicatedBWPs
- Fix hardcoded 'controlResourceSetId' by making it dynamic
- Remove 'searchspaceid' from 'verify_agg_levels' function because it
was used only for LOG
- CI: Add DedicatedBWP to '40 MHz TDD F1+E1 SA' in
'RAN-SA-B200-Module-SABOX-Container'
Fix overflow when negating minimum int16_t value in precoding
This closes#955
It prevents undefined behavior caused by the minimum int16_t value
(-32768) in two's complement representation. Because possible negation
by multiplying with -1 during precoding cause an overflows since +32768
cannot be represented in 16-bit signed integers and end up again in
-32768 because of overflow, here reveald by using the SIMD functions.
Workaround we use a slightly smaller number than 1 in Q15 Format to
prevent this error. Q15 representation of (integer value -32767) -1 +
2^-15 = -0.999969482421875
remove specific directory for LTE SIM management tools
This is very old code has never been integrated with the "main" OAI
cmake infrastructure and more recent libraries.
This MR integrates the three binaries for LTE virtual sim management in
the regular build process and log system
Avoid the include gtpv1_u_messages_types.h, as this pulls in e.g., LTE
RRC definitions. The CU-UP load tester integrated in one of the
following commits should be able to build without LTE RRC, if it was for
GTP. Unfortunately, ITTI also pulls in LTE RRC, so it's also somewhat
useless...
Put some forward declarations instead. That also shows that the API is
unnecessarily complex, and would need some cleanup.
Remove sctp from all other targets, since we use sctp::sctp on
SCTP_CLIENT (would fail if it does not exist), and SCTP_CLIENT already
fulfils the SCTP dependency.
- Provide some documentation
- Make cmake keywards and sctp lib name lowercase
- Use standard form of find_package_handle_standard_args()
- Make an imported target sctp::sctp that will fail if being used in
cmake unless defined, which will avoid that "sctp" appears in the
cmake code but is silently discarded

Following frequency change in the pipeline, we observed degraded UL channel
conditions resulting in low UL throughput. Increasing attenuation on the gNB
side was found to mitigate this issue by improving UL channel quality
and reducing UL noise power.
