ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration in SIB19 from Spec 38.331 v17.12
A validity duration configured by the network for assistance information which indicates the maximum time duration
(from epochTime) during which the UE can apply assistance information without having acquired new assistance information.
The unit of ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration is second. Value s5 corresponds to 5 s, value s10 indicate 10 s and so on.
ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration-r17 ENUMERATED{ s5, s10, s15, s20, s25, s30, s35,s40, s45, s50, s55, s60, s120, s180, s240, s900}
Implementation of epochtime is under discussion.
It can be configured in configuration file according to the above enumeration. For GEO - 240s, MEO - 20s, LEO-5s can be used.
prepare_scd() sets up memory for possible dedicated BWPs to be set up.
If they are not used, they are freed in fix_scd(). [1]
There are two problems:
1. in prepare_scd(), multiple structures are allocated once (for
multiple elements), but inserted once. When trying to free those, the
logic of ASN.1 is to free list elements individually, but then we try
to call free() on each element of the list that has been allocated in
one go. Fix this by doing multiple allocations to be in line with
ASN.1 logic.
2. in fix_scd(), free recursively all data structures, not only the
sequence element itself.
[1] this is horrible. We should only allocate memory if we actually need
it, but let's fix the more urgent problem of memory leaks first. Fixing
the logic problem would be more involved.
Enable SSB-SINR based CSI reporting
3GPP 38.331 release 16 specifies that If the field reportQuantity-r16 is present,
UE shall ignore reportQuantity (without suffix). reportQuantity-r16 configures
SSB based SINR as the reporting quantity.
set do_SINR = 1; in gNB params part of the config file to enable SSB based SINR
reporting.

Replaced `sprintf` with `snprintf` in gnb_config.c to enhance memory safety
by preventing potential buffer overflows. `sprintf` can cause buffer overflows
by not checking the destination buffer size. In contrast, `snprintf` allows
specifying a maximum buffer size, ensuring no overflow occurs by limiting
the number of characters written, including the null terminator.
fix NTN LEO scenarios
- gNB: add support for NTN parameter ta-CommonDrift-r17
- NR UE: fix application of NTN TA information
- NR UE: add command line parameter ntn-initial-time-drift to compensate
time drift during initial sync
- NR UE: fix writeTimestamp inconsistencies
- NR UE: add MAC state UE_RECEIVING_SIB ensuring to start RA only after
successfully receiving SIBs
- rfsimulator: update earth radius for LEO simulation to match UE
position in ue.conf file
- update conf files for NTN LEO scenario
- update description how to run NTN scenarios in RUNMODEM.md
- fix: ta-Common is a round-trip-time, not a one-way delay
- NR UE: simplify calculation of next_tx_slot_and_frame by moving up
assignment of duration_rx_to_tx
- cellbarredNTN indicates notbarred in SIB1 if NTN access is available
- Removed b66 NTN and enabled B254 NTN conf file in CI
- NR UE: RRC layer now explicitly tells MAC layer when the RA procedure
can be started
- move NTN LEO config to band 254 and update doc/RUNMODEM.md
Closes#901
* allocate memory for pattern2 only if the IE is present (it is optional)
* fix scc (deallocate memory) when necessary

- Introduced new configuration parameters `pusch_RSSI_Threshold` and `pucch_RSSI_Threshold`
(MACRLC section)
- Added `nr_limit_tpc` function in `gNB_scheduler_primitives.c` to limit TPC based on RSSI
threshold.
- Integrated `nr_limit_tpc` in PUCCH and PUSCH power control
Example Configuration
puxch_RSSI_Threshold takes value between -1280 and 0 and is mapped to range -128.0 dBm/dBFS
to 0.0 dBm/dBFS in 0.1 dB increments. Unit depends on RSSI reporting config.
pucch_RSSI_Threshold = -500; # Set the PUSCH RSSI threshold to -50.0dBm/-50dBFS
pucch_RSSI_Threshold = -600; # Set the PUCCH RSSI threshold to -60.0dBm/-60dBFS
Need to proper forward declaration, as we otherwise need to make
telnet_o1 module dependent on F1. Make functions publicly accessible,
as the F1 functions are used in an upcoming commit to start the L1.
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
