Integration 2020 wk40 comprises the following udpates:
MR893 ULSCH decode mthread:
- Enabled parallelization of ULSCH segments decoding, deinterleaving and rx rate matching.
MR896 Nsa remove band hardcodings:
- A missing commit from wk39, just a log change
MR901 NR UE DCI improvements:
- Handling of DCI formats 0_0 and 0_1, including removing hard-coding and scheduling PUSCH with DCI parameters
- Blind decoding of DCIs based on size and format indicator
- Fix for segmentation fault during ULSCH encoding
MR895 support of RA procedure by implementing Msg3 on UE
MR908 NR DL scheduler improvements:
Preliminary work on the DL scheduler
- cleanup of DL scheduler, add interface preprocessor-postprocessor (`NR_UE_sched_ctrl_t`)
- postprocessor can handle multiple UEs. Preprocessor will follow soon (proportional fair scheduler)
- No MAC UE Context creation before end of RA (Msg 3)
These updates do not change anything performance wise (no additional scheduled slots, etc).
This MR also reduces gNB log.
-Since the aim of itti RRC_SUBFRAME_PROCESS message (MAC->RRC) is to trigger an itti X2AP_SUBFRAME_PROCESS message (RRC->X2AP), avoid creating
RRC_SUBFRAME_PROCESS message if x2ap task is not enabled. Not sure if this is the best solution. We could also avoid only sending the second itti X2AP_SUBFRAME_PROCESS message.
The name NR_UE_list_t is misleading: beyond being a simple "list", this
structure carries all/most UE-related MAC information. If at all, it is
a container for multiple lists. The next commit introduces a
NR_UE_list_t structure that organizes UEs in lists such that it is
easier to go through the UEs.
nr_configure_pdcch() allocates the CCE, but this is not wanted, e.g., in
multi-user scheduling, since it might not be possible to allocate the
CCEs for these UEs. This commit makes the following changes:
- remove CCE allocation in nr_configure_pdcch()
- remove coreset search in nr_configure_pdcch()
- add functions get_coreset() and get_searchspace() to retrieve coresets
and search spaces easily
- in nr_fill_nfapi_dl_pdu(), add extra parameters for aggregation level
and CCE indices and the searchspace and coreset of a UE, which might
be different for each UE
- allocate CCEs manually in phytest, RA, and DLSCH schedulers
