Fix UL chanel estimates mapping in 2-layer MMSE receiver
This MR addresses a degradation in UL throughput observed in 4x4 MIMO
tests, starting from 2025.w17.
The issue was traced to incoherent indexing in the ul_ch_estimates_ext
when handling 4-antenna UL configurations.
Fix PDSCH and PUSCH BWP Start and Size when PXSCH is scheduled with a DCI format x_0 in any type of PDCCH common search space
- Fix PDSCH and PUSCH BWP Start and Size when PDSCH/PUSCH is scheduled
with a DCI format x_0 in any type of PDCCH common search space
- Fix resource block assignment information (RIV field) for DCI format
x_0 when scheduling in any type of PDCCH common search space
Fix RRC resources periodicity determination according to number of slots per period
Otherwise we may end up in scenarios where some channels would end in
the wrong TDD slot type
Tutorials: updates for NR SA Tutorials
- Update links for the latest Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS iso file
- Update docker install to the latest instructions on the official
website
- Update UHD to v4.8.0.0
- Add support for 'default'/"empty" DNN to CN5G configuration file
* Add support for 'default' DNN to CN5G configuration file (that
will also be used when DNN is not available, "empty" DNN). This
configuration will allow most of the COTS UE to get PDUSession
without any APN configuration made by the user
* The 'default'/"empty" DNN configuration support was added in

Add physim tests into ctest framework
Convert physim testcases listed in
cmake_targets/autotests/test_case_list.xml into ctest. Note: Tests for
dlsim_tm4 are excluded, due to compilation issues.
CTest evaluates success based on return code: '0' = pass, non-zero =
fail. For some simulators, the return code is non-zero even when the
test is successful (as indicated by success messages in the test logs).
For some simulators, the return code is always '0'. This inconsistency
has been address in the first two commits of this MR.
To build and execute these tests:
- using cmake
cd openairinterface5g
mkdir build && cd build # you can also do that in cmake_targets/ran_build/build
cmake .. -GNinja -DENABLE_PHYSIM_TESTS=ON && ninja tests
ctest
- using build_oai: physim-related ctests are activated when PHY
simulators are built (use build_oai with '-P' or '--phy_simulators'
option)
cd openairinterface5g/cmake_targets
./build_oai --ninja --phy_simulators
cd ran_build/build
ctest
Link to newly created 4g and 5g RAN-Physim-Cluster pipelines:
- RAN-Physim-Cluster-4G: https://jenkins-oai.eurecom.fr/job/RAN-Physim-Cluster-4G/
- RAN-Physim-Cluster-5G: https://jenkins-oai.eurecom.fr/job/RAN-Physim-Cluster-5G/
Initially we were testing SNR from -3 to 7 dB, in recent runs PUCCH test
succeeds at SNR = 0 or 1 dB. Starting at higher SNR helps to reduce test
runtime. Set maximum SNR to 7dB, as it was done in the initial test scenario,
to ensure that possible performance degradation is detected.
The cls_physim1.py is no longer needed. Function for physim deployment has
been migrated to the Cluster class. Log analysis functionality has been
moved to the Analysis class.
Set the CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY CMake option during the OAI build
to control the location of runtime target files. This ensures that ctest
can locate necessary executables after they are copied to the target
Docker image.
Convert physim testcases defined in cmake_targets/autotests/test_case_list.xml
into CTest based tests. These test are activated when '-DENABLE_PHYSIM_TESTS=ON'
CMake flag is set.
Note: Tests for dlsim_tm4 are excluded, due to compilation issues.
CTest evaluates success based on return code: '0' = pass, non-zero = fail.
The following table outlines the physim executables, their success expressions
(`expr_true`), and the return codes for success (`ret_success`) and failure
(`ret_fail`). The `expr_true` is used in test_case_list.xml to check for test
results.
| test_exec | expr_true | ret_succ | ret_fail |
| ------------- | -------------- | --------------- | ----------------- |
| dlsim | passed | 0 | -1 |
| ulsim | passed | 0 (ret) | 1 (ret) |
| ldpctest | BLER 0.000000 | 0 | 1 |
| polartest | BLER= 0.000000 | 0 | 1 |
| nr_pbchsim | PBCH test OK | 0 | 1 |
| nr_dlsim | PDSCH test OK | 0 | 1 |
| smallblocktest| BLER= 0.000000 | 0 | 1 |
| nr_ulschsim | PUSCH test OK | 0 (n_errors) | n_errors |
| nr_pucchsim | PUCCH test OK | 0 | 1 |
| nr_ulsim | PUSCH test OK | 0 (ret) | -1 (ret) |
| nr_prachsim | PRACH test OK | 0 (prach_errors)| > 0 (prach_errors)|
| nr_psbchsim | PSBCH test OK | 0 (errors) | > 0 (errors) |
Add CMake flag "ENABLE_PHYSIM_TESTS=ON" when building OAI with "-P"
or "--phy_simulators" option. This allows physim-related ctest to
be executed from build directory.
Add dependency on coding lib for all 4G physims
Setting the DEBUG_UE_TIMING flag caused a flood of UE timing logs, resulting
in dlsim output logs as large as 1.5MB per test in CI. This commit comments
out the line where we set the flag to reduce log verbosity.
- Change return value of nr_dlsim, nr_pbchsim and nr_pucchsim to:
- Return '0' if test succeeds (indicated also by "PDSCH/PBCH/PUCCH test
OK" in the test log).
- Return '1' if test fails.
- Updated polartest, smallblocktest, and ldpctest to check BLER and return
appropriate status:
- Returns '0' if BLER equals 0.000000 (indicating success).
- Returns '1' for all other BLER values (indicating failure).
- This change improves consistency in return values across the test physims.
Add enc/dec library and unit test for E1 Bearer Context Modification Failure
This MR is adding:
- the enc/dec library
- unit test
- handler and callback in stack
For the E1 Bearer Context Modification Failure.
Fix Liteon with MTU 1500 and update the FHI docs
- Closes#884 - needed to update the max fragments needed for
transmission of one symbol; technically, 5 are enough but due to wrong
equation in the xran F release we had to increase to 6
- Clarify packet length for VFs
- Update Foxconn doc and config file with MTU set for jumbo frames
- Update Benetel docs with new version v1.2.2
E1 Bearer Context Release enc/dec lib and unit test
This MR is adding:
- the enc/dec library
- unit test
And adopting the lib in stack, for the E1 Bearer Context Release.
Improvements for LDPC encoding
AVX512 modifications for LDPC encoding: interleaving, ZC384 BG1, output
formatting for encoder, segmentation (memcpy instead of loop). some
improvement in TX for aarch64 in same places where AVX512 support was
added. Also, rate matching and interleaving are done on bytes containing
8 segments and reformatting of the output is done at the end of segment
processing instead of after ldpc encoding.
This improves the overall performance of the NR DL transmitter in gNB
