This implementation might work, but it simply triggers RRC setup on the new
DU when we might send a RRC reestablishment speeding up the whole
connection setup. For this:
- we should send the F1 UE context setup to the new DU
- we should still do the reestablishment, containing the reestablishment message
The latter should be sent once we received the F1 UE context setup
response. We don't need a new context. send a release to the old DU (and
don't release our own context!!).
We might also send the reestablishment to the UE encapsulated with the
F1 UE context setup response. Need to investigate if this is feasible
(because if the DU rejects [can that happen here?], the UE will still
send reestablishment complete -- what then?).
Also, we would need to send the E1 bearer context modification to the
CU-UP.
Keeping track if AS security is activated. This is important for a later
commit, where we use this to decide if we send a F1 UE Context Setup Req
with security command after receiving the E1 bearer context setup
response. The corresponding AssertFatal() removed in the same commit
implementing PDU session handling in NGAP Initial UE Context Setup.
38.401 Sec 8.1 asks for sending the Initial Context Setup Response after
a reconfiguration happened. Therefore, we can never send this message
directly from the handler in the Initial Context Setup Request

Subsequent pipelines can/might use the ran-base image. Further, before
building a new ran-base image, we delete it. Hence, it suffices to only
delete the image when necessary (before building a new one), and
otherwise leave the current (develop, ci-temp) ran-base image.
Using AssertFatal() has the drawback that it requires the definition of
an exit_function() (which is typically declared in OAI main
executables). We don't want to pull in such dependency for every
consumer. Hence, use c stdlib's assert() instead.

For the initialization of the xran library (split 7.2), we need some
parameters such as PRACH or frame config. However, to date,
initialization of split at level 7 use the split 8 openair0_config
structure, which does not have the necessary information.
Hence, add a single structure that contains that information.
* make a single call to various function
* make fill_rf_config() static, it is only used in this file
* do not initialize the number of antennas in openair0_cfg in
init_NR_RU(), as it is already done in fill_rf_config()
Harmonize the call to openair0_transport_load(), by putting it in a
single place instead of multiple calls
Further, delay the call to ru_thread, for two reasons:
1) it is somewhat "symmetric" with local RF, which is done there as well
2) for the xran library, we need to read some parameters such as PRACH,
frame format, etc. At the RU, the corresponding FAPI config request
parameter structure is copied from the gNB to RU at the beginning of
the ru_thread, so we have to wait for that to happen.
Reformat code to properly copy memory if we skip precoding.
precoding_stats timing is not part of ru->feptx_ofdm, but
ru->feptx_prec, so always print it.
Previously, in order to speed up processing if precoding is disabled, we
just copy the pointer from txdataF to txdataF_BF, as opposed to do a
full memcpy() to duplicate the data. The same happens if we cannot have
precoding, i.e., in SISO. This has implications such as memory leaks,
which is why this is not being done. However, the code comment is
intentionally placed there.
For 7.2 FH, some RUs do phase compensation, whereas for others, the DU
does it. In fact, this can be "negotiated" using the M plane. Since we
don't have the M plane yet, add a configuration option to set where
phase compensation is performed.
For certain processing, e.g., in the case of FH 7.2, we need to ensure
that critical L1 processing happens fast. Try to force speedy processing
with this high priority.

In NSA, we don't have SIB1. However, the DU system information requires
both MIB and SIB1, but is itself optional. So, in NSA, don't fill the DU
system information.
For LiteOn DU, we do not receive the MIB/SIB1 in the F1 Setup Request.
This is not a problem in itself, but it might happen that certain
procedures are executed without MIB/SIB1. Check for it and handle
appropriately:
- During normal connection establishment, we might not be able to
calculate measurement config
- During reestablishment, we might not be able to calculate ARFCN SSB
and cannot do reestablishment; do RRC setup instead.
read_version() takes a version string in format "x.y.z" with x being
major, y minor, and z patch number. It transforms reads them into
separate numbers, and outputs in the correspondingly named variables.

The 5G-RFsim F1 test tested multiple DUs at one CU. This
functionality is retained in the new F1+E1 test.
The 5G-RFsim E1 test tested a single CU-UP at a single CU-CP. Here, we
extend to use multiple CU-UPs, one for each DU. The associated is
ensured by using three different F1-U transport networks, one for each
DU/CU-UP pair.
- Test only one DU at the CU (3 DUs is tested in F1+E1)
- Harmonize IP configuration to make it simpler to reuse in the F1+E1
test
- Speed up the test by reducing the number of steps to deploy core/RAN
- Add traffic test
binding the local address for SCTP is pointless, because we don't really
care through which interface SCTP traffic goes. Actually, we even might
want to set the DU remote_n_addr and the the local_n_addr to addresses
in different networks, because we might want to have GTP traffic go
through a different interface than SCTP, as done in the CI test for E1.
We set the RFsim TCP socket to non-blocking. Thus, it may happen that we
cannot write() to the socket when the kernel cannot handle the request,
in which case we wait some time before trying again. This is the
correct/expected behavior.
Since this is *normal*, an error message is not justified; we did not
even print a message in this case before commit 21790f9c4f introduced it.
When setting up bearer(s) through F1, the corresponding F1 message has
QoS fields for the DRB(s) to be set up, as well as for all flows
associated to this DRB. In this commit, set the DRB QoS field to be
equal to the first flow (it is unclear/unspecified how it should be set
up, based on the flows), which was not set before and therefore
contained unitialized data.
The F1 module uses this data, and in split mode, F1 message generation
failed due to uninitialized data.
We reuse RRC UE IDs at the RRC. Previous to this commit, we did not
release a UE at the CU-CP's PDCP (for SRBs). Thus, when reconnecting a
UE, the PDCP might not be in a good state, since we did not release the
previous PDCP UE context.
